How long have QUATS been used?
The first QUATS were introduced almost one-hundred years ago. Similar to soap molecules, but with an opposite charge, they were sometimes called invert soaps. Over the years, a multitude of QUATS have been synthesized, generating a wide variety of these useful compounds. QUATS are formulated into many different types of products ranging from hair conditioners and sophisticated skin care products to cleaners and disinfectants.
