Di (Hydrogenated Tallow) Dimethyl Ammonium Chloride
Di (hydrogenated tallow) Dimethyl Ammonium Chloride is a cationic surfactant derived from hydrogenated tallow fatty acids, featuring two long alkyl chains (typically C16-C18) attached to a quaternary ammonium center with two methyl groups and a chloride counterion. It usually appears as a pale yellow to off-white waxy solid or viscous liquid, soluble in water and alcohols but insoluble in hydrocarbons. This compound is widely used as a fabric softener, antistatic agent, hair conditioning agent, and disinfectant in personal care and textile industries. It also finds applications as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in industrial formulations.
