POLYQUATERNIUM-7

POLYQUATERNIUM-7 SUPPLIER FOR COSMETIC & PERSONAL CARE MANUFACTURERS
 

ACTA Chemicals supplies Polyquaternium-7 (PQ-7, CAS 26590-05-6), a water-soluble cationic conditioning polymer widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations.
 

Our product, FLOCARE™ C107 LM PF, is based on Polyquaternium-7, a copolymer of diallyldimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC) and acrylamide.
 

As a Polyquaternium-7 supplier, ACTA Chemicals supports manufacturers developing shampoos, body washes, shower gels, liquid soaps, hair conditioners, and other compatible personal care products.
 

Polyquaternium-7 is valued for its conditioning, antistatic, and foam-enhancing properties. It helps improve hair combability, softness, and manageability while contributing to a rich, creamy foam in suitable surfactant formulations.
 

Its water-soluble structure makes it convenient for incorporation into compatible aqueous cleansing formulations.
 

POLYQUATERNIUM-7 (PQ-7) – KEY PROPERTIES

Polyquaternium-7 is a water-soluble, positively charged polymer produced through the copolymerization of DADMAC (Diallyldimethylammonium Chloride) and acrylamide monomers.
 

This cationic structure provides conditioning, antistatic, and sensory benefits in compatible hair care and skincare formulations.
 

• Shampoos: Helps improve hair combability, reduce static electricity, and enhance shine.

• Shower Gels & Body Washes: Contributes to a softer, smoother, and moisturized skin feel.

• Shaving Gels: Improves lubrication during shaving and may help reduce friction-related discomfort.

• Facial Cleansers: Helps reduce the feeling of tightness after cleansing and supports a pleasant skin feel.

This versatile cationic polymer can deliver conditioning benefits at relatively low concentrations.
 

Its compatibility with suitable cold processing methods can also simplify manufacturing and potentially reduce processing time and energy requirements.
