Cationic Surfactants

The document describes various cationic surfactants including their trade names, country of origin, chemical names and structures, active content percentages, appearances, and applications. Some key surfactants mentioned are alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chlorides, cetyl trimethyl ammonium chloride, di-oleic acid triethanolamine esterquats, and distearyl dimethyl ammonium chloride. These cationic surfactants find use in applications like disinfectant formulations, fabric softeners, and car polishing products due to their bacteriostatic and bactericidal properties.
