Behenyltrimethylammonium Bromide (2231-Br/BTAB)
CAS 3006-69-5
Behenyltrimethylammonium Bromide (CAS 3006-69-5) is a high-purity quaternary ammonium compound available as 99% white powder or 80% off-white paste, functioning as a premium cationic surfactant with an ultra-long C22 alkyl chain. It exhibits exceptional conditioning and antistatic properties with low irritation potential, making it ideal for hair care products such as conditioners and masks where it adsorbs onto hair surfaces to improve combing and restore softness. In skin care formulations, it serves as an effective emulsifier that stabilizes oil-in-water systems while imparting a smooth, non-greasy after-feel. Industrially, it acts as a softening agent for textiles, a dispersant in chemical processing, and a biocide in water treatment applications. With typical active matter of 80% or 99%, free amine content below 1.0%, pH of 5.0-8.0, and color APHA under 100, this versatile surfactant delivers consistent performance across personal care and industrial formulations.
>> Main Uses
Behenyltrimethylammonium Bromide (2231-Br/BTAB, CAS 3006-69-5) is primarily used as a premium hair conditioning and antistatic agent in personal care products, where its long C22 alkyl chain strongly adsorbs onto hair surfaces to improve wet and dry combing, reduce static flyaway, and restore softness and shine to damaged or color-treated hair without causing buildup. In skin care formulations, it functions as an effective emulsifier and co-emulsifier for oil-in-water systems, helping to stabilize creams and lotions while imparting a smooth, non-greasy, and luxurious after-feel suitable for sensitive skin due to its low irritation profile. Beyond cosmetics, it serves multiple industrial functions as a softening and antistatic agent in textile processing, an emulsifier and dispersant in chemical manufacturing, a phase transfer catalyst in organic synthesis, and a biocidal additive in water treatment and oilfield applications for controlling bacterial growth and biofilm formation.
