Cetrimonium Chloride 70% Solution for Hair Care CASS NO 112-02-7
This is a 70% solution of cetyltrimonium chloride in alcohol. It is a white to off-white paste that dries very quickly and mixes well with other ingredients. Because it is alcohol-based, it is suitable for systems where the addition of water is not recommended, such as some sprays or quick-drying formulations. Its pH is stable between 6 and 8, making it suitable for most general applications.

Cetrimide adheres to typically negatively charged surfaces, such as hair and fabric fibers. Upon application, it forms a smooth film that reduces static and makes the surface feel softer. In alcohol-based systems, it spreads and dries quickly, so you don't have to wait too long to notice the conditioning effects. It's often used as a cationic conditioning agent in both personal care and fabric care applications because it helps make things feel smoother and less likely to stick together.
