Description

Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride is a cationic derivative of guar gum, engineered to impart substantive conditioning and film-forming properties. This modification is critical for enhancing the performance and sensory feel of rinse-off and leave-on formulations. It is an essential ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care and cosmetics industries seeking to improve hair manageability, softness, and shine. Its cationic nature ensures excellent compatibility with anionic surfactants, providing stable and effective conditioning systems.

Application

• Hair Conditioners & Cream Rinses: Primary conditioning agent for detangling, reducing static, and improving wet and dry combability.
• Shampoos (2-in-1 Formulas): Provides conditioning benefits in cleansing systems without compromising foam.
• Leave-in Hair Sprays & Serums: Acts as a film-forming polymer to provide hold, shine, and frizz control.
• Skin Care Lotions & Creams: Functions as a cationic emulsifier and skin-conditioning agent, enhancing skin feel and moisturization.
• Color Cosmetics: Used in mascaras and eyeliners to improve adhesion, texture, and water resistance.
• Industrial Applications: Potential use as a flocculant, retention aid, or conditioning agent in paper manufacturing and textile processing.

Quality Control

Our Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets specifications for key parameters such as cationic substitution degree, viscosity, and residue on ignition. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these results is provided with every shipment. We support compliance with global standards including REACH and can supply grades suitable for cosmetic (INCI) 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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed immediately after use to prevent caking or degradation due to moisture absorption. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
