Behentrimonium Chloride

Behentrimonium Chloride is an organic ammonium salt with the chemical formula C25H54ClN and CAS number 17301-53-0. Its molecular structure consists of a 22-carbon alkyl chain, three methyl groups, and one ammonium chloride group. This compound typically has a purity of over 98% and appears as a white solid. As a cationic surfactant, behentrimonium chloride is soluble in alcohols and hot water, producing abundant foam upon shaking. The production of behentrimonium chloride usually involves an alkylation reaction, reacting a docosyl alcohol with trimethylamine to obtain the target product.

Improved Combing Quality

Significantly improves the smoothness of combing hair in both wet and dry conditions, reducing resistance and tangling during combing, making hair easier to manage, especially suitable for dyed, permed, or damaged hair.

Enhanced Softness

Makes hair feel softer and smoother, giving it a silky texture and improving the overall feel of the hair.

Anti-static Effect

Effectively reduces static electricity buildup in hair, preventing it from becoming frizzy and flyaways in dry environments, keeping hair smooth and manageable.

Enhanced Shine

Adds shine to hair, giving it a brighter, shinier appearance under light, enhancing the visual texture of the hair.

Emulsifying and Stabilizing Effect

Can be used as an emulsifier in cosmetic formulations, helping to stabilize oil-water mixtures, resulting in a more uniform product texture and extending shelf life.

Hair Care Products

• Conditioners and Hair Masks: As core conditioning agents, they significantly improve hair's manageability when wet or dry, reduce tangles, and make hair softer, smoother, and more lustrous, especially suitable for dyed, permed, or damaged hair.
• Shampoos: Adding a small amount to shampoo enhances hair's anti-static properties, reduces static in dry environments, and makes hair easier to comb.
• Styling Products: Used in hairspray, mousse, and other styling products to help hold hairstyles while giving hair a soft touch and preventing stiffness after styling.

Skin Care Products

• In some skin care lotions and creams, it can be used as an auxiliary ingredient to help improve skin smoothness and softness, but usually in small amounts to avoid a heavy feeling.

Industrial Applications

• In the textile industry, it can be used as a fabric softener to improve the feel and softness of fabrics and reduce friction between fibers.
• In the paper industry, it can be used to improve the softness and anti-static properties of paper.

Safety and Usage Restrictions

• Safety: Listed as a permitted preservative and conditioning agent in the *Cosmetic Safety Technical Specifications (2015 Edition)*.
• Maximum Permissible Concentration: Wash-out products (e.g., shampoo): ≤5.0% Leave-on products (e.g., conditioner, hair mask): ≤0.25% (when used as a preservative)
