- Esterquats: the novel class of cationic fabric softeners
Esterquats, which are quaternary ammonium compounds having two long (C(16)-C(18)) fatty acid chains with 2 weak ester linkages, represent a new generation of fabric softening agents, having replaced the dialkyldimethylammonium salts (e g DTDMAC and DSDMAC)

Abstract: Esterquats, which are quaternary ammonium compounds having two long (C 16-C 18) fatty acid chains with 2 weak ester linkages, represent a new generation of fabric softening agents, having replaced the dialkyldimethylammonium salts (e g DTDMAC and DSDMAC) The inclusion of ester linkages into the
- Quaternary ammonium cation - Wikipedia
In organic chemistry, quaternary ammonium cations, also known as quats, are positively-charged polyatomic ions of the structure [NR4]+, where R is an alkyl group, an aryl group [1] or organyl group
- Rethinking the Esterquats: Synthesis, Stability, Ecotoxicity . . .
Esterquats constitute a unique group of quaternary ammonium salts (QASs) that contain an ester bond in the structure of the cation Despite the numerous advantages of this class of compounds, only two mini-reviews discuss the subject of esterquats:
- Quaternary Ammonium Compounds Fact Sheet - TURI
Quaternary ammonium compounds (“QACs” or “quats”) are a broad class of several hundred chemicals QACs were first discovered in the early 1940s and used mainly as active ingredients in antimicrobials, disinfectants, sanitizers, and surfactants
- Quaternary Ammonium Compounds: Simple in Structure, Complex . . .
Quaternary ammonium compounds, referred to as QACs, are cationic substances with a structure on the edge of organic and inorganic chemistry and unique physicochemical properties The purpose of the present work is to introduce QACs and their wide application potential
