1-Hexadecanaminium, N,N,N-trimethyl-, octadecanoate (1:1)

Description:

1-Hexadecanaminium, N,N,N-trimethyl-, octadecanoate (1:1), commonly known as cetyltrimethylammonium octadecanoate, is a quaternary ammonium compound characterized by its long hydrophobic hydrocarbon chains and a positively charged nitrogen atom. This substance typically appears as a white to off-white solid or waxy material and is soluble in organic solvents while being insoluble in water due to its hydrophobic nature. It exhibits surfactant properties, making it useful in various applications, including as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and conditioning agent in cosmetic formulations. The compound can also function as a cationic surfactant, which allows it to interact with negatively charged surfaces, enhancing its effectiveness in cleaning and conditioning products. Additionally, it has antimicrobial properties, which can contribute to its use in personal care and pharmaceutical products. Its stability and compatibility with other ingredients make it a valuable component in formulations requiring emulsification and stabilization. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with all chemical substances.
