Polyquaternium 24

Polyquaternium-24 (CAS 98616-25-2), also marketed as Quatrisoft LM 200 and Amerchol LM 200, is a quaternized cellulose polymer for personal care and industrial formulations.

Where is Polyquaternium 24 used?

• Shampoos and conditioners: deposits onto negatively charged hair fibers to reduce static and improve combability
• Skin care: film-forming behavior supports moisture retention in lotions and serums
• Textile processing: modifies fiber surfaces for softness and antistatic performance
• Paper and leather: enhances surface uniformity and substrate-coating interaction
• It functions as a conditioning agent, film former and rheology modifier.

Commercial specifications

• Aqueous solution, typically around 10%
• Bulk supply standard; smaller quantities for development
