Polyquaternium-7 (PQ-7)

Formula: (C8H16ClN)n(C3H5NO)m GOST/CAS: CAS: 26590-05-6

Polyquaternium-7 is a highly concentrated cationic polymer widely used in the cosmetic industry as a conditioning agent. The product is a transparent, viscous liquid that is perfectly soluble in water and compatible with most anionic surfactants. Due to its unique molecular structure, PQ-7 forms a protective film on the surface of hair and skin, providing excellent slip, softness, and an anti-static effect without weighing them down.
