Products Description

Our Cetrimonium Chloride (CTAC) Ethanol Blend Solution is a tailor‑made cationic quaternary ammonium surfactant compound engineered for modern cosmetic and industrial formulation workflows. Combined with USP‑grade ethanol as co‑solvent, this ready‑to‑use liquid system delivers outstanding conditioning, anti‑static, softening, emulsifying and mild antimicrobial performance without extra pre‑dissolving steps for your production lines.

Ethanol within the blend optimizes overall solubility, molecular penetration and long‑term formulation stability. This finished mixed liquid supports both leave‑on and rinse‑off end‑products. It adheres to EU cosmetic regulation EC 1223/2009 as well as US FDA cosmetic raw‑material guidelines, suitable for sensitive‑scalp hair care, gentle skincare emulsions, textile auxiliary agents and disinfectant additive manufacturing. Custom active‑strength options cover 10%‑50% CTAC content to satisfy diverse formula requirements from lab trial batches to mass industrial production.

Everything You Need to Know

Q1: Can this CTAC‑Ethanol blend apply to sensitive‑skin and sensitive‑scalp cosmetic goods?

A1: Yes. Our cosmetic‑grade raw materials plus pH tuned to skin‑friendly 5.0‑7.0 range. It complies with EU & US cosmetic safety standards. When incorporated within proper dosage range, it delivers low‑irritation performance for sensitive‑type applications.

Q2: What storage conditions should be followed to extend product shelf‑life?

A2: Store in cool, dry, ventilated warehouse space. Keep far away from direct sunlight, heat sources as well as strong acid / strong base substances. Always tightly seal containers after use to avoid ethanol evaporation which may change solution concentration. Valid shelf‑life reaches 24‑months under qualified storage.

Q3: Is this mixed solution workable for both leave‑in and rinse‑off cosmetic items?

A3: It suits both categories. For leave‑in hair serums and detangler sprays, it offers long‑term anti‑static conditioning effect. Within rinse‑off masks and conditioners, it boosts detangling and cuticle‑smoothing performance and will not cause obvious residue accumulation after washing.

Q4: What raw‑material compatibility risks should formulators notice?

A4: Avoid high‑ratio mixing with strong anionic surfactants such as SLS / SLES, which may trigger sediment precipitation. It shows good compatibility with non‑ionic surfactants, cationic actives, cosmetic oils and most cosmetic functional ingredients. We strongly recommend small‑scale compatibility test before formal mass production.

Q5: What is the recommended adding dosage range for cosmetic end‑products?

A5: Typical finished‑product addition dosage falls between 0.5%‑3.0%. Exact usage depends on your product categories and target performance. Our technical team can offer targeted dosage suggestion if you share your formula objective.

Q6: Do you provide free samples for performance testing?

A6: Yes, free 100‑gram sample is available for quality and formulation test. Customers only need to cover international sample freight cost. Contact our sales team to submit sample application.

Q7: What shipping methods are available for bulk orders and what are estimated lead‑times?

A7: Express delivery for goods under 100 kg: door‑to‑door service within 3‑5 working days. Air freight for 100‑1000 kg cargo: airport‑to‑airport in 5‑7 days. Sea freight is fit for cargo over 300 kg with approximate 30‑day transit time (port‑to‑port). Order processing starts within 7 working days after order confirmation.

Q8: Are you capable of supplying relevant certification files for import customs clearance?

A8: Absolutely. We supply COA (Certificate of Analysis), SDS safety datasheet, packing list, commercial invoice. Extra documents can be prepared to satisfy different‑country import regulatory requirements.
