Lanquat CAE

Lanquat CAE is a cationic surfactant based on a quaternised cocoamine ethoxylate. The product provides excellent surface activity, conditioning properties, and substantivity to negatively charged surfaces, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial and speciality applications.

The quaternary ammonium structure delivers strong adsorption onto a variety of substrates, helping to improve lubrication, softness, and antistatic performance. Lanquat CAE exhibits good compatibility in cationic systems and is particularly effective where lasting surface treatment and conditioning effects are required.

Lanquat CAE is widely used in textile auxiliaries, fabric care formulations, industrial cleaners, and speciality chemical applications where cationic functionality, surface modification, and conditioning performance are beneficial. Its high active content and excellent surface affinity make it a versatile ingredient for demanding formulation
requirements.
