TALLOWTRIMONIUM CHLORIDE

TALLOWTRIMONIUM CHLORIDE

Tallowtrimonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt.
Tallowtrimonium Chloride is the quaternary ammonium salt that conforms generally to the formula: 
[RN(CH3)3}+Cl-, where R represents the alkyl group derived from tallow.

Origin(s): Synthetic
INCI name: TALLOWTRIMONIUM CHLORIDE
EINECS/ELINCS number: 232-447-4
Classification: Quaternary ammonium cation, Regulated

Sources/Uses
Typical uses of category members include surfactants, intermediates, anti-scaling agents, fabric softeners, multifunctional laundry detergents, antistatic sprays, germicides, deodorizers, emulsifiers, hair-care products, industrial lubricants, and corrosion inhibitors; 
Used as a surfactant in pesticide formulations;
Permitted for use as an inert ingredient in non-food pesticide products;

Ingredient on the basis of beef tallow and / or fatty acids obtained from it.

"Trimonium..." refers to a quaternary trimethyl ammonium salt, often based on fatty amines. Examples: "steartrimonium..." contains a stearyl-(C18-) carbon chain; "laurtrimonium..." contains a lauryl-(C12-) hydrocarbon residue.

Chlorides are salts of hydrogen chloride (hydrochloric acid).

Function(s) of this ingredient in cosmetic products

ANTISTATIC
Reduces electrostatic charges (eg of the hair)

HAIR CONDITIONING
Leaves the hair easy to comb, supple, soft and shiny and / or imparts volume

PRESERVATIVE
Protects cosmetic products from microbial spoilage

SURFACTANT - CLEANSING
Surface-active agent to clean skin, hair and / or teeth

"Tallow" refers to fat components from animal tallow (bovine tallow) (see under tallow), "trimonium" a quaternary trimethylammonium salt as a reaction product.
Tallowtrimonium chloride is used in cosmetic formulations. 
The substance mixture acts as a surfactant (washing-active substance; improves the even distribution of products during application), antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface of, for example, hair), hair conditioning agent.
