The Whitaker Company > Products > Maquat C-2

SUMMARY

Maquat C-2 is an amber-colored liquid that combines coco bis(2-hydroxyethyl)methylammonium chloride with 2-propanol. Maquat C-2 is a versatile cationic surfactant with anti-static, dispersant, solubilizing, and foaming properties. Maquat C-2 serves various roles, from a grease-cutting emulsifier in degreasers to an anti-static agent in textile processing. Maquat C-2 also has applications in corrosion inhibition, pipeline drag reduction, and emulsion breaking in 28% HCl solutions.
