What is Polyquaternium-7?
Polyquaternium-7 (CAS 108464-53-5), also known as dimethyldiallylammonium chloride acrylamide polymer, is a cationic conditioning polymer used in personal care and industrial cleaning formulations.
Where is Polyquaternium-7 used?
- Shampoos and conditioners: reduces combing friction
- Body washes and skin cleansers: smooth, conditioned after-feel on skin
- Home care and institutional cleaning: soil-release and surface-conditioning agent
- Hard surface cleaners and fabric care formulations
- Liquid formulations: rheology modifier for viscosity stability and suspension of active ingredients
- It deposits onto negatively charged surfaces such as hair, skin, and hard substrates to deliver conditioning, detangling, and film-forming effects.
Commercial specifications
- Active concentrations 5% to 12%
