Behentrimonium Chloride (BTAC) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- BTAC
- Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride
- Behenyl Trimethyl Ammonium Chloride
Behentrimonium chloride is a long-chain cationic surfactant supplied for conditioning and antistatic formulation enquiries in Malaysia. It is also known as BTAC, docosyltrimethylammonium chloride and behenyl trimethyl ammonium chloride. Buyers commonly specify it for hair conditioners, treatment masks and compatible rinse-off systems where substantivity and detangling performance are required.
Commercial behentrimonium chloride may be offered as high-active flakes, pellets or a waxy solid, as well as a liquid, paste or dispersion in a stated carrier system. The selected form affects heating, dilution and incorporation, so active content, carrier and physical format should be defined rather than assuming every BTAC grade is interchangeable.
Personal-care formulators use it as a conditioning and antistatic active, while selected textile and technical formulations use the same cationic character for softening or surface treatment. Behentrimonium chloride is a separate identity from quaternium-18, benzalkonium chloride and other quaternary ammonium products.
Send the required active content, form or carrier, application, quantity and delivery location with the enquiry. A 20 kg packing option can be requested, while current availability, packing, documentation, delivery route and timing are confirmed with the quotation.
- Grade
- personal-care conditioning grade, high-active solid grade, solution or dispersion grade
- Appearance
- white to pale-yellow waxy solid, flakes, pellets or formulated liquid, depending on grade
Behentrimonium Chloride grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Personal-care conditioning grade | waxy flakes, pellets or a readily dispersible concentrate | active content confirmed for the selected grade | Cationic conditioning and antistatic active for hair conditioners, treatment masks, rinse-off products and compatible conditioning systems. | 20 kg can be requested; current packing is confirmed with the quotation |
| High-active solid grade | flakes, pellets or waxy solid | high-active content defined by the grade specification | Formulation from a concentrated cationic active where the manufacturer controls dilution, heating and incorporation into the finished product. | 20 kg can be requested; current packing is confirmed with the quotation |
| Solution or dispersion grade | liquid or paste in a specified carrier system | active content and carrier confirmed with the offered grade | Easier incorporation into conditioning, antistatic and speciality formulation systems that require a pumpable or pre-dispersed format. | confirmed with the quotation |

Behentrimonium Chloride applications
Common questions about behentrimonium chloride
What is behentrimonium chloride used for?
It is a long-chain cationic conditioning and antistatic active used mainly in hair conditioners, treatment masks and related rinse-off systems. It can also be specified in selected textile and technical antistatic formulations where compatibility has been established.
Is BTAC the same as behentrimonium chloride?
BTAC is a common abbreviation for behentrimonium chloride, also described as docosyltrimethylammonium chloride or behenyl trimethyl ammonium chloride. The abbreviation alone does not define active content or carrier, so those details should be stated in the enquiry.
Which behentrimonium chloride form should I request?
High-active flakes, pellets or waxy solids suit formulators who control heating and dilution, while liquid, paste or dispersed grades can be easier to incorporate. Send the process conditions and target active content so the grade can be matched to the formulation.
Is behentrimonium chloride the same as quaternium-18 or benzalkonium chloride?
No. They are related cationic materials but have different alkyl structures and commercial uses. Request behentrimonium chloride by its own identity rather than treating another quaternary ammonium compound as a direct substitute.
Can 20 kg packing be requested for behentrimonium chloride?
A 20 kg option is known for this product family. State the preferred pack size and quantity in the enquiry, and current packing availability and documentation will be confirmed with the quotation.
