Some synonyms for the term "cationic detergent" include quaternary ammonium compounds, alkylbenzyldimethylammonium compounds, and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide. Other variations of cationic detergents include fabric softeners and hair conditioners, which utilize these compounds to impart a soft and silky feel to textiles and hair.
