Hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt surfactant commonly used as a softener and antistatic agent. In fabric softeners, CTAC can play the following roles:
Soft Fabric: Cetyl trimethyl ammonium chloride can adsorb on the surface of fabric fibers, forming a thin film that makes the fabric soft and smooth. This can improve the texture of the fabric and increase its comfort.
Anti static electricity: The static electricity generated by fabric friction is one of the common problems that people encounter. CTAC can reduce the electrostatic charge of fabrics, giving them anti-static properties and reducing the discomfort and troubles caused by static electricity.
Improving the wrinkle resistance of fabrics: Due to the properties of its surfactants, Cetyl trimethyl ammonium chloride can help fabrics maintain good wrinkle resistance. It can change the surface tension between fabric fibers, reduce friction between fibers, and thus reduce wrinkles in the fabric.
Improving the washing resistance of fabrics: Cetyl trimethyl ammonium chloride can react with salts and oils in water to form insoluble precipitates, thereby reducing the adhesion of stains to fabrics. This improves the washing and stain resistance of the fabric, extending its service life.

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.
