What is Quaternium-45?
Quaternium-45 (CAS 21034-17-3) is a quaternary ammonium compound for surface modification and stabilization in personal care formulations.
Where is Quaternium-45 used?
- Hair care: modifies surface charge on hair fibers, improving combability and reducing static
- Skin care and leave-on products: enhances ingredient adhesion and uniform distribution on the skin
- Emulsion-based formulations: stabilizing role, maintaining system integrity over shelf life
- Conditioning rinses and treatment masks may include it at low concentrations for targeted surface-active effects.
Good to know: Buyers should confirm grade documentation and batch consistency with suppliers. Manufacturers should ensure the specific grade meets internal quality control benchmarks for stability and compatibility within complex aqueous systems.
Commercial specifications
- Cosmetic-grade specification
- Purity levels suited to personal care manufacturing
- Supply volumes limited to small and mid-scale quantities
