Cetyl trimethyl ammonium chloride is a kind of Quaternary ammonium salts, which has excellent properties such as penetration, softening, emulsification, anti-static, biodegradability, and sterilization. This product also has good chemical stability, heat resistance, light resistance, pressure resistance, and strong acid and alkali resistance.
Hair is a biological complex composed of cortex. In addition to protein structure, oil and water are also the basic substances that keep hair flexible. If the oil on the hair is removed, it will cause the hair to be fragile and vulnerable, and losing water will lead to dry hair fracture. The cationic surfactant Hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride can neutralize the positive charge of its own cation with the negative charge on the hair surface, reducing the repulsive force between the keratin scales. The unique neutralization function provided by cationic surfactants reduces the static electricity of hair, increases its softness, fluidity, and improves its combability. Due to the "fat" properties of cationic surfactants, the wrapping layer it forms on the surface of hair can keep hair smooth and prevent the loss of moisture. The combination of Hexadecyl trimethylammonium chloride and 16-18 alcohols can improve the smoothness and softness of hair.
