Description

Ethanaminium, N,N,n-Trimethyl-2-(1-Oxo-2-Propenyl)Oxy-, Chloride, Polymer With 2-Ethylhexyl 2-Propenoate And 2-Propenamide is a specialized cationic copolymer designed to provide superior performance as a film-forming and conditioning agent. This polymer is engineered to deliver excellent substantivity, manageability, and a smooth feel in a variety of formulations. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care and cosmetic industries, particularly for hair styling and treatment products.

Application

• Hair Styling Products: A key film-forming polymer in hair gels, mousses, and spritzes, providing strong hold, curl retention, and humidity resistance.
• Hair Conditioners & Treatments: Acts as a cationic conditioning agent in rinse-off and leave-in conditioners, improving combability, reducing static, and imparting softness.
• 2-in-1 Shampoos: Used in conditioning shampoos to deposit conditioning agents onto hair, enhancing manageability and shine without compromising cleansing.
• Skin Care Lotions & Creams: Functions as a cationic emulsifier and stabilizer, improving texture and skin feel in moisturizing formulations.
• Color Cosmetics: Employed in mascaras and eyeliners to enhance waterproofing, wear longevity, and smooth application.
• Industrial Coatings: Serves as a binder and rheology modifier in specialty coatings requiring cationic charge characteristics.

Quality Control

Our Polyquaternium-55 is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets consistent specifications for viscosity, solids content, pH, and cationic charge density. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters to support your quality assurance protocols. Production adheres to cGMP guidelines suitable for cosmetic and personal care applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents. For long-term storage, ensure the container is properly sealed to prevent moisture absorption or skin formation.
