Cocotrimonium chloride

Cocotrimonium chloride (CAS 61789-18-2 ), also marketed under the trade name Arquad C 33, is a cationic quaternary ammonium surfactant derived from coconut oil fatty acids. It functions as a conditioning agent, emulsifier, and surface modifier across personal care, cleaning, and industrial processing applications. In hair care formulations, it adsorbs onto negatively charged hair fibers to deliver detangling, softness, and static control in conditioners and rinse-off treatments. Home care and industrial cleaning products use it as an antimicrobial and antistatic additive. This versatile chemical is frequently utilized in fabric softeners, hard surface cleaners, and disinfectant concentrates. Textile processors apply it as a fiber lubricant and softening agent during finishing operations, improving handle and reducing friction on synthetic and natural yarns. In paper manufacturing, it acts as a wet-strength aid and surface sizing additive, improving sheet integrity and printability. Cocotrimonium chloride is supplied as an aqueous solution, typically at concentrations of 25–35% active content. It is available in technical and cosmetic grades, with cosmetic-grade material meeting purity requirements for personal care formulation. Bulk supply is standard in drums and IBC totes, with documentation including COA and safety data to support regulatory compliance. Our supply chain ensures consistent quality for finished product registration and industrial use. This surfactant remains a staple for manufacturers seeking reliable performance in conditioning and surface modification across multiple sectors.
