Ester Quats(CAS no 91995 81 2), also known as Ester Quaternary Ammonium Salt, is a cationic surfactant that is derived from vegetable origin. Ester Quats (CAS 91995 81 2) can be used in home care products. Its surfactant properties make it effective in cleaning and care applications. It can be found in products such as detergents, cleaning sprays, and other household cleaning products. The versatility and effectiveness make Ester Quats, or Ester Quaternary Ammonium Salt a valuable ingredient in various industries. Despite its chemical nature, the fact that it is made from vegetable origin makes it a more environmentally friendly option compared to other surfactants.

It functions by causing the cell membrane of bacteria to rupture, which kills them. This method causes increased permeability and subsequent leaking of internal components by binding to the negatively charged phospholipids in the cell membrane. DDAC 80 also hinders the growth of bacteria by obstructing crucial metabolic functions like protein synthesis and DNA replication.
