Name Diethyl ester dimethyl ammonium chloride Description Diethyl ester dimethyl ammonium chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound commonly used in various industrial and cosmetic applications. This compound is known for its surfactant and conditioning properties, especially in hair care and cleaning products Benefits Diethyl ester dimethyl ammonium chloride is a cationic surfactant, meaning it has a positive charge in solution. This allows it to interact with negatively charged surfaces, such as hair or skin, to provide conditioning and smoothing effects. Considerations •Potential Endocrine Disruptor
Data on this particular chemical is limited, however it is a quaternary ammonium compound. (quats for short.) Quats have been found to be a reproductive toxin and toxic to mitochondria.
• Contamination Concerns
There is some data to suggest that quaternary ammonium compounds can release carcinogenic nitrosamines under certain conditions.
• Harmful to aquatic life
Classified as harmful to aquatic life with long-lasting effects. Synonyms Dipalmitoylethyl dimonium chloride
