Description

Polyquaternium-55 is a high-performance cationic polymer belonging to the polyquaternium family of conditioning agents. This compound is valued for its exceptional ability to provide superior conditioning, antistatic properties, and film-forming capabilities in a wide range of formulations. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, home care, and industrial chemical sectors seeking to enhance product performance and stability. Its unique cationic nature makes it highly effective for depositing active ingredients onto various substrates, including hair, skin, and fabrics.

Application

• Hair Care Formulations: Primarily used as a conditioning agent in shampoos, conditioners, and hair masks to improve manageability, reduce static, and impart a silky feel.
• Skin Care Products: Functions as a skin conditioning agent and emulsifier in lotions, creams, and serums, enhancing skin feel and formulation stability.
• Color Cosmetics: Serves as a film-former and binder in mascaras, eyeliners, and foundations to improve wear, water resistance, and pigment dispersion.
• Fabric & Home Care: Used in fabric softeners and laundry detergents as a softening and antistatic agent, providing a smooth feel to textiles.
• Industrial Applications: Acts as a flocculant, retention aid, and drainage aid in paper manufacturing and water treatment processes.

Quality Control

Our Polyquaternium-55 is manufactured under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance. Quality is verified through a series of analytical tests including assay, viscosity, pH, and residual monomer content. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications and industry standards.

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 strong oxidizing agents. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption.
