Core Benefits
- Broad-Spectrum Bactericidal & Antibacterial: Effective against a wide range of bacteria, fungi and algae, including Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, providing strong disinfection and anti-odor effects.
- Excellent Surface Activity: Reduces surface tension, with good emulsifying, wetting and solubilizing properties, enhancing the cleaning and foaming performance of personal care products.
- Anti-Static & Conditioning: Has mild cationic conditioning effects, improving hair combability and skin smoothness in low concentrations.
- High Stability & Compatibility: Stable in neutral and weakly alkaline formula systems, compatible with nonionic and amphoteric surfactants; avoid high concentration anionic surfactants to prevent precipitation.
- Cost-Effective & Versatile: Widely applicable, with low effective dosage and excellent cost performance, suitable for both personal care and hygiene product formulations.
3. Application
- Recommended Dosage:
- Antibacterial/Disinfectant use: 0.1-0.5%
- Conditioning/Co-use in personal care: 0.05-0.2%
(Adjust according to product type and efficacy requirements)
- Usage Recommendation: Add to the aqueous phase during product preparation, stir evenly at room temperature. Avoid mixing with strong anionic surfactants, high concentrations of proteins or oxidizing agents to maintain stability and activity.
- Formula Application:
