Myristyl Gamma Picolinium Chloride

Myristyl Gamma Picolinium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound used as a cationic surfactant with strong conditioning and antimicrobial properties. It appears as a white to off-white powder or solid, soluble in water, and stable under normal storage conditions. It exhibits good surface activity, film-forming ability, and compatibility with cosmetic systems.
It is mainly used in personal care formulations such as shampoos, conditioners, and hair treatments, where it provides excellent hair conditioning, softness, and anti-static effects. It also helps improve manageability and reduces frizz in hair care products. In some formulations, it shows mild antimicrobial activity, contributing to product preservation. Additionally, it can be used in textile softeners and specialty industrial formulations where conditioning and surface modification are required. Its dual function as a conditioning agent and surfactant makes it valuable in advanced cosmetic applications.
