Alkyl Quaternary Ammonium Compounds (Quats) are cationic surfactants with a positively charged nitrogen atom surrounded by alkyl groups. They are widely known for their antimicrobial, conditioning, and antistatic properties, making them essential in various applications across industries.
This class of surfactants frequently exhibits Anti-microbial property, Surface Activity, Conditioning effect, Anti-static property along with a broad compatibility with other surfactant classes.
They are used in various applications like household cleaners, industrial disinfectants and healthcare products.
SSPL offers a range of alkyl quaternary compounds all varying in chain lengths depending on the desired properties.
Di-alkyl quaternary ammonium compounds
Di-Alkyl Quaternary Ammonium Compounds (Di-Alkyl Quats) are cationic surfactants with two long alkyl chains attached to a quaternary nitrogen atom. These compounds are highly effective as biocides, surfactants, and antistatic agents, making them ideal for applications requiring antimicrobial efficacy, hydrophobic properties, conditioning and stabilisation property.
These surfactants find use in various applications like Water treatment, Healthcare products, Industrial disinfectants, Laundry products, etc.
SSPL offers di-alkyl quaternary ammonium compounds for a range of applications.
Ester quaternaries
Ester Quaternaries are cationic surfactants derived from fatty acids and quaternized amines, containing ester linkages.
These environmentally friendly surfactants are primarily used as fabric softeners and conditioning agents due to their excellent biodegradability and performance.
Ester quats are especially useful in textile processing for reducing microfibril static and interfiber friction.
SSPLs ester quats are derived from natural raw materials and hence are a preferred choice for formulations emphasizing performance and biodegradability, catering to both consumer and industrial applications
SSPL offers the following range of products to suit the required softening, conditioning, and antistatic need
