Products in HI&I Care: Quaternary Ammonium Compounds

Accoquat® CS - 5000 is a blend of cationic emulsifiers meticulously engineered to generate micro-emulsions when paired with mineral seal oil (MSO). These micro-emulsions are commonly utilized as the foundation for car rinse-aids and other post-wash treatments in both commercial and home settings.

Accoquat® CS-3000 functions as a solvent with multiple uses. It is easy to handle and may be used for water repellency, emulsification of oils, and hydrophobic materials, as an anti-static agent, fabric and textile softener, paper de-bonder, automatic car wash rinse aid and vehicle drying aid. It is manufactured in USA.

Accoquat® 622HF-90 is a diamidoethyl (hydroxyethyl) ammonium methosulfate quaternary in a propylene glycol solvent. It has low volatile organic carbons and is produced from natural/vegetable-based soybean oil sources, thus making it ideal for use in consumer and I&I green-renewable formulations. It is used in finishing and drying process of textiles because it reduces the effects of exposure of ozone from the atmosphere. Accoquat 622HF-90 is dispersible in warm water (>35°C), and with its easy-to-handle high solids, low odor and no solvent smell it provides excellent softening while imparting anti-static properties to fabrics. It gives a low degree of yellowing to fabric even at higher drying temperatures. Accoquat 622HF-90 is notably good in its re-wet properties for fabrics compared to most other fabric softener concentrates, dramatically reducing the tendencies for “waterproofing” fabrics at higher softener dosage levels, a common problem with many other softeners currently in the market. It is manufactured in USA.

Accoquat® 622-90 is a diamidoethyl (hydroxyethyl) ammonium methosulfate quaternary in an isopropyl alcohol (IPA) solvent.

ADEKA™ MINE SF-201 Quarternary Ammonium Salts stand out as a multifunctional ingredient suitable for various applications. Primarily functioning as a cationic surfactant, it enhances surface activity, serving as a surfactant and cleansing agent. Additionally, ADEKA™ MINE SF-201 acts as an anti-microbial agent, contributing to the formulations' antimicrobial properties. Its foaming agent role enhances foam in formulations. With benefit claims of antimicrobial, cleansing, and foam enhancement properties, ADEKA™ MINE SF-201 Quarternary Ammonium Salts is well-suited for diverse applications in personal care (beauty and bath products), home care (dish care, laundry, and fabric care), as well as institutional and industrial care (commercial laundry and industrial cleaning).

Crodazosoft™ DBQ is a 70% active quaternary softening and conditioning agent specifically designed for hair care. Its unique chemistry offers formulators a wide range of functional benefits, including exceptional softening and conditioning properties. This ingredient serves as an antistatic agent and is suitable for use in hard surface cleaning applications.

Cationic surfactant recommended for concentrated domestic softeners due to its lower viscosity influence in the final formula.

BURCOQUAT® TS-15 is a diethyl sulfate quat that produces dense, stable foam and provides corrosion inhibition in muriatic, hydrofluoric, and sulfuric acids on mild steel (not suitable for use with nitric acid).

BKC 50/80 is a type of cationic surfactant. It is an organic salt classified as a quaternary ammonium compound. The 50% solution is purely aqueous, while more concentrated solutions require incorporation of rheology modifiers (alcohols, polyethylene glycols, etc.) to prevent increases in viscosity or gel formation under low temperature conditions.

TETRANYL® L6/90 is an ecological and biodegradable cationic surfactant of the ester quats generation. These products have better biodegradability, lower toxicity and lower irritation than typical quaternary ammonium compounds. This non-yellowing product has an anti-static and softening effect. Due to its viscosity performance in the formula it is specially advised for concentrated softeners, even tough it can also be used in regular type (5-6% a.m.).

Non-flammable cationic surfactant due to the use of propylene glycol as solvent, making their handling safer. It also allows formulation at room temperature thus reducing processing costs.

Burco® ECO-2450 is a nonionic alkyl polyglycoside surfactant that has excellent emulsification of oily soils and is compatible with acids, alkali and other builders. It can be used in the formulation of "green" products compliant with Green Seal and EPA Design for the Environment (DfE) standards and similar "green" standards.

Tetranyl® CAR/AO is a vegetable origin cationic surfactant which improve antistatic properties of the rinse aid formulations for car care.

BURCOQUAT® TS-20 is a diethyl sulfate quat that exhibits excellent solubility and compatibility in acid and alkaline formulations including anionic surfactants.

Ecological and biodegradable cationic surfactant suitable for clear domestic softeners. Anti-static and softening effect. Liquid product at 20ºC.

Cationic surfactant - monoalkyl quat - very easy to handle that permits to obtain clear fabric softeners.

Cationic surfactant - 50% benzalkonium chloride aqueous solution - well known as a disinfecting agent.

Cationic surfactant - 80% benzalkonium chloride aqueous solution - well known as a disinfecting agent.

Vegetal origin cationic surfactant that performs as hydrotropic agent in degreasing formulations with the capability to solubilize a wide range of electrolytes.

Cationic surfactant advisable for regular domestic softeners. Ecological and biodegradable product with anti-static, rewetting and softening effect.

Cationic surfactant which allows formulation at room temperature reducing production costs and improving handling properties.
