Hydroxyethyl cetyldimonium phosphate

Hydroxyethyl cetyldimonium phosphate (CAS 85563-48-0 ), commercially known as Luviquat mono CP, is a quaternary ammonium phosphate used as a conditioning and surface-active agent across personal care and industrial applications.

Its cationic character enables strong substantivity to negatively charged surfaces, making it effective for deposition, emulsification, and surface modification in various chemical processes.

In hair and skin care formulations, it functions as a conditioning agent in rinse-off and leave-on products, improving combability and imparting a smooth after-feel for the end user.

Textile processing operations use it to apply softening and antistatic finishes to fiber surfaces, particularly in fabric conditioners and finishing baths to enhance material quality.

In leather treatment, it supports surface modification to improve feel and uniformity of coatings. Industrial and household cleaning formulations incorporate it as an emulsifier and wetting agent.

This chemical is utilized where cationic compatibility with other ingredients is required. It is typically supplied as a liquid or paste at defined active concentrations for manufacturing.

It is available in technical and cosmetic grades suited to personal care manufacturing and industrial use. Buyers should confirm active content and counterion form with their suppliers.

Ensuring proper pH specifications is vital to guarantee formulation compatibility. This versatile phosphate remains a staple for manufacturers seeking reliable surface-active performance.
