Quaternium-18 Supplier Malaysia
- Also known as
- Dihydrogenated Tallow Dimethyl Ammonium Chloride
- Di(hydrogenated Tallow) Dimethyl Ammonium Chloride
- DHTDMAC
Quaternium-18 is the INCI name for di(hydrogenated tallow) dimethyl ammonium chloride, a long-chain cationic active catalogued for formulation enquiries in Malaysia. Also known as DHTDMAC, it contains saturated C16-C18 alkyl chains and is selected for conditioning, softening, antistatic and organoclay duties.
Commercial formats include high-active paste, waxy solid or flakes, plus liquid grades in a specified carrier. Buyers should define active content, carrier identity, physical form and alkyl-chain profile because these factors affect handling and formulation compatibility.
Applications include hair conditioners, fabric and textile softeners, antistatic treatments, organophilic clay manufacture for drilling fluids and coatings, and selected asphalt or emulsion additives. Quaternium-18 is not an esterquat, quaternium-15, DDAC, DADMAC, benzalkonium chloride, a disinfectant active or the separate C18-specific ingredient distearyldimonium chloride.
Send the required active content, carrier or physical form, application, quantity and delivery location with the enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation, delivery arrangements and quotation validity are confirmed for the stated requirement.

Quaternium-18 applications
Common questions about quaternium-18
What is quaternium-18?
Quaternium-18 is the INCI name for di(hydrogenated tallow) dimethyl ammonium chloride, a long-chain cationic conditioning, softening and antistatic active.
Is quaternium-18 the same as an esterquat?
No. Quaternium-18 is a dialkyl dimethyl ammonium chloride, while esterquats contain ester-linked structures and form a separate softener chemistry.
Is distearyldimonium chloride an alias for quaternium-18?
No. Distearyldimonium chloride is a related C18-specific ingredient with a separate INCI identity and should be requested by its own name when required.
How should a quaternium-18 grade be specified?
State the required active content, carrier, paste, flake or solution form, alkyl-chain profile and application. Packing, documents and commercial details are confirmed with the quotation.
