Behentrimonium Methosulfate 50 (BTMS-50)

Behentrimonium Methosulfate 50 (BTMS-50) is a conditioning agent and mild emulsifier derived from rapeseed oil. It is a quaternary ammonium salt that is widely used in hair care and skincare formulations due to its gentle nature, excellent conditioning properties, and ability to improve combability without leaving a greasy residue. Known for its ability to detangle and soften hair, BTMS-50 is often found in high-end conditioning and leave-in products.

Applications:

• Hair Care Products: Commonly used in conditioners, detanglers, hair masks, and leave-in treatments due to its exceptional ability to condition and soften hair. It provides slip and makes hair easier to comb, helping reduce breakage and frizz.
• Skincare Products: Used in lotions, creams, and emulsions as an emulsifier that creates a smooth texture and enhances skin feel. It also helps stabilize oil and water mixtures.
• Other Uses: It can be found in beard conditioners, baby care products, and other personal care formulations where mild conditioning is required.

Handling and Storage:

• Handling: Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, and protective clothing when handling large quantities. Avoid inhalation of dust from the pellet or flake form. Ensure good ventilation in work areas.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Keep the container tightly closed and away from sources of heat and moisture. Protect from direct sunlight and prevent exposure to high humidity to avoid clumping. Store away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
