1.Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Chloride(CTAC) Introduction:

Physically, Cetyltrimethylammonium Chloride is distinguished as a transparent to light yellow liquid having an odour reminiscent of rubbing alcohol. When mixed with water, the product having a molecular weight of 320.002 g/mol either floats or sinks in the water. Cetyltrimethylammonium Chloride (CTAC) is also known by other names like cetrimonium chloride. In the field of speciality chemicals, the product is widely famed as a topical antiseptic and surfactant. Much of its effectiveness stems from its excellent conditioning characteristics, for which the product is used as an ingredient in manufacturing hair shampoos and conditioners. Hair care products formulated using CTAC are known to deeply nourish and hydrate dry and damaged hair and bring back a renewed shine and vigour to lacklustre locks.

Colorless or pale yellow clear liquid. Stable chemical property, it is heat resistance, light resistance, pressure resistance, strong acid and alkali resistance.  It has good  surfactivity, stability, and biodegradation. It can be well compatible with cationic , nonionic, amphoteric surfactant.

CTAC is a topical antiseptic and surfactant. Long-chain quaternary ammonium surfactants, such as cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC), are generally combined with long-chain fatty alcohols, such as stearyl alcohols, in formulations of hair conditioners and shampoos. The cationic surfactant concentration in conditioners is generally of the order of 1–2% and the alcohol concentrations are usually equal to or greater than those of the cationic surfactants. The ternary system, surfactant/fatty alcohol/water, leads to a lamellar structure forming a percolated network giving rise to a gel.
