The ingredient you describe is better known here in the USA as CETAC, or cetrimonium chloride, and usually sold as a 30% solution. A useful alternative would be stearalkonium chloride (octadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride) and sold as wither a 25% dispersion or 85% solid wax. Both are soluble in water at 75 - 80C. Few manufacturers exist for these “quats”, and I do not know the market you are in, but Stepan, Pilot-Mason, Lonza and Croda are distributed internationally.
