Cola®Quat DQ

CTFA/INCI: Dilinoleyl amidopropyl trimonium chloride

Patent # 6,979,744

DESCRIPTION
Cola®Quat DQ is a high molecular weight cationic surfactant based on dilinoleic acid.
This unique molecule features viscosity-building properties with sulfates with the added
benefit of conditioning due to the presence of twin linoleyl groups on a cationic site.
Cola®Quat DQ is a free flowing liquid that is low in color, naturally derived, and
oxidatively stable. It is highly compatible with anionic surfactants and can be formulated
into any high foaming personal care cleanser without sacrificing foam qualities.
