Cetrimonium Chloride

Cetrimonium chloride, also known as cetyltrimethylammonium chloride, is a white crystalline powder that is easily soluble in isopropanol and soluble in water. It produces a large amount of foam when shaken and has good compatibility with cationic, nonionic, and amphoteric surfactants. It exhibits excellent chemical stability, resistance to heat, light, pressure, strong acids, and alkalis. It possesses outstanding properties such as penetration, softening, emulsification, antistatic effects, biodegradability, and sterilization.
