Esterquat is defined as reaction products of long chain DEEDMAC of different origin with substituted ammonium compounds.
Esterquats are a widely used class of cationic surfactants. They were introduced in the early 1980s when concerns were raised about the environmental profile of DHTDMAC (Di-Hardened Tallow DiMethyl Ammonium Chloride) a fabric conditioner. Esterquats are similar to DHTDMAC except that ester links were introduced into the headgroup of the molecules, making them more subject to degradation by hydrolysis and greatly facilitating biodegradation.
Most, if not all, fabric conditioners marketed in Europe are now comprised of the three Esterquat groups, TEAQ (triethanol amine quat), DEEDMAC (diethyloxyester dimethylammonium chloride), and HEQ ((Z)-2 hydroxy-3-[(1-oxo-9-octadecenyl)oxy] propyltrimethylammonium chloride).
They combine a good environmental profile, especially in terms of ready and ultimate biodegradability (OECD criteria), with the structural features required for an effective fabric conditioner.
