Is Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride the same material as Behentrimonium Chloride?

Yes. Both names identify the C22 quaternary ammonium chloride with CAS 17301-53-0. Commercial materials can nevertheless differ in active content, carrier and physical form, so the supplied-grade specification must be confirmed separately.

Can Behentrimonium Chloride replace Behentrimonium Methosulfate directly?

No. They are different quaternary ammonium salts, and commercial methosulfate materials are often supplied with fatty alcohols or other co-ingredients. Compare the active basis, composition and processing behaviour in the finished conditioner before making a substitution.

Which commercial-form details matter when selecting Behentrimonium Chloride?

Confirm active matter, carrier or co-ingredients, physical form, free amine, water, colour and odour. These affect heating, dispersion and the cationic-active level delivered to the formula; the product name and CAS number alone do not define them.

Behentrimonium Chloride (BTAC) CAS 17301-53-0

Behentrimonium Chloride (BTAC, CAS 17301-53-0), also known as docosyltrimethylammonium chloride, is a long-chain cationic quaternary ammonium ingredient used in hair conditioners, treatment masks, rinses and related antistatic or emulsified personal-care formulations. Grade, active content and physical form should be confirmed for the intended application. COA, TDS and SDS may be provided for the confirmed grade. Send the required specification, quantity, packaging and destination for review and quotation.

Product Description

Behentrimonium Chloride (BTAC, CAS 17301-53-0), also known as Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride, is a long-chain cationic quaternary ammonium ingredient for hair-conditioning, antistatic and related formulation systems. Confirm active matter, carrier, physical form and the supplied-grade documentation before use.

Product Overview

Behentrimonium Chloride is the INCI/common name for Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride. Commercial materials can differ in active matter, carrier or co-ingredients and physical form, so they are not interchangeable by name alone.

Confirm the supplied grade, active matter, carrier or co-ingredients and physical form; COA, TDS and SDS may be provided for the confirmed grade.
