Cationic surfactants

Cationic surfactants are a type of cleaning agents made up of molecules with a positive charge. They are effective at removing dirt, grease, and bacteria by breaking down oily substances and disrupting microbial cell membranes. Commonly found in fabric softeners, disinfectants, and hair conditioners, cationic surfactants also help soften fabrics and reduce static. Their positive charge allows them to bind well to negatively charged surfaces, such as skin or fabric fibers, enhancing their cleaning and conditioning properties. Overall, they are valued for their antimicrobial action and ability to improve texture and softness in various products.
