Where is Quaternium-52 used?

• Hair care: deposits onto negatively charged hair surfaces to improve combability, reduce static, and provide conditioning in rinse-off and leave-on products
• Textile and leather processing: softening and antistatic finishes applied to fabric and hide during wet processing
• Home care and industrial cleaning: modifies surface wetting behavior
• Paper manufacturing: surface treatment agent influencing sheet softness and charge balance
• It functions as an emulsifier, conditioning agent, and surface modifier.

Commercial specifications
