In the competitive field of homecare, especially in fabric softener formulations, the choice of active ingredients directly impacts product efficacy and consumer satisfaction. Hony TE90-C, with its INCI Name Dialkylester Ammonium Methosulfate and CAS No. 91995-81-2, emerges as a standout esterquat, redefining standards through its advanced properties and proven performance.
The Role of Esterquats in Homecare
Esterquats, such as Dialkylester Ammonium Methosulfate (CAS No. 91995-81-2), are critical components in fabric softeners. Their unique molecular structure, combining hydrophobic alkyl chains and hydrophilic quaternary ammonium groups, enables them to adsorb onto textile fibers. This adsorption reduces fiber-to-fiber friction, imparting softness and smoothness, while the quaternary ammonium groups neutralize static charges, enhancing fabric manageability. For homecare applications, this translates to textiles that feel softer, are easier to handle, and maintain quality over time — key factors driving consumer preference.
Hony TE90-C is a next-generation esterquat tailored for fabric softener formulations, boasting a range of attributes that set it apart:
- Sourced from palm oil, it supports hot mix processes and is non-flammable, ensuring operational safety and manufacturing flexibility.
- It delivers excellent softness and antistatic ability, addressing core consumer needs for comfortable, static-free fabrics.
- The product exhibits strong compatibility, dispersion, and rewettability, ensuring seamless integration into various formulations.
- With outstanding biodegradability, Hony TE90-C aligns with growing demands for eco-friendly homecare solutions.
Comparative Performance: Hony TE90-C vs. brand TE90
Rigorous testing conducted on August 18, 2023, using 100% cotton towels (Jieliya brand-China) validated Hony TE90-C’s superiority against brand TE90. The results are summarized in the table below:
Evaluation Metric | Hony TE90-C | Brand TE90 | Performance Difference |
Smoothness | 12 | 12 | Equivalent |
Softness | 30 | 26 | Hony TE90-C: 3% better |
Finished Product Score | 10 | 6 | Hony TE90-C: Higher |
Fabric Conditioning | 25 | 15 | Hony TE90-C: 3% better |
Comfort | 20 | 10 | Hony TE90-C: 4% better |
Total Score | 100 | 54 | Hony TE90-C: Significantly higher |
Dissolution Time | 9 min | 16 min | Hony TE90-C: Faster by 7 min |
Pour Point | 34°C | 40°C | Hony TE90-C: 6°C lower |
Setting Point | 29°C | 32°C | Hony TE90-C: 3°C lower |
The data confirms Hony TE90-C’s comprehensive excellence. While matching the brand TE90 in smoothness, it outperforms in softness, fabric conditioning, and overall comfort. Its total score of 100 — nearly double that of the brand — reflects its superior performance across all critical metrics. Additionally, faster dissolution and favorable pour/setting points enhance its practicality in formulation processes.
