Polyquaternium 69

Polyquaternium-69 (CAS 748809-45-2), commercially available as Aquastyle 300 and Aquastyle 300AF, is a cationic conditioning polymer used in personal care and home care formulations. It delivers simultaneous moisturization, rheology control, and surface modification within a single ingredient, reducing the need for multiple additives in complex chemical formulations.

In hair care, it deposits on the hair surface to improve combability, reduce frizz, and enhance conditioning performance in shampoos, conditioners, and leave-in treatments. Skin care formulators incorporate it into lotions and serums where it builds a moisture-retaining film while adjusting product texture and flow for better application.

In home care and industrial cleaning products, its surface-modifying properties improve substrate wetting and aid in uniform product distribution across various surfaces. It is also used in rinse-off formulations where substantivity to hair or skin must be maintained despite dilution, ensuring long-lasting benefits for the end user.

Polyquaternium-69 is supplied as an aqueous solution and is available in cosmetic-grade specification suitable for high-performance personal care applications. Packaging options typically include drums and IBCs for industrial-scale procurement, ensuring efficient logistics and storage for large manufacturing facilities.
