Abstract

Cationic surfactant compound comprising, in the form of a quaternary ammonium salt, a product of condensation between, on the one hand a fraction of saturated or unsaturated fatty acids, or of derivatives of said acids chosen from the group comprising esters, anhydrides and acid chlorides, and on the other hand at least one tertiary amine, characterized in that, in combination: PA1 the alkyl chains of the tertiary amine together contain from 4 to 12 carbon atoms PA1 the alkyl chains of the tertiary amine together contain from 1 to 4 functions each chosen from the group comprising hydroxyl and amine functions PA1 the fatty acids fraction/tertiary amine mole ratio is between 1.85 and 1.40 PA1 the fatty acids each possess a hydrocarbon chain in which the number of carbon atoms is between 5 and 23.
