Polyquaternium-11

The Structure of Polyquaternium-11

General Information

  • Product Name: Polyquaternium-11
  • CAS: 53633-54-8
  • Catalog: SUR-CAT-010
  • Applications: Hair styling products, conditioning agents, others

Introduction

Polyquaternium-11, a cationic copolymer, is synthesized from vinyl pyrrolidone and dimethyl aminoethyl methacrylate quaternized with methyl chloride. Its molecular structure imparts unique characteristics that make it invaluable in formulations aimed at improving hair texture and manageability.

Characteristics

Polyquaternium-11 exhibits several remarkable characteristics that make it highly valuable in personal care applications:

  • Film Formation: One of the defining features of polyquaternium-11 is its ability to form a transparent, non-sticky, and flexible continuous film.
  • Compatibility with Surfactants: Polyquaternium-11 demonstrates excellent compatibility with a wide range of surfactants, including nonionic, anionic, and amphoteric varieties.
  • Affinity to Hair: The cationic nature of polyquaternium-11 imparts a strong affinity to hair fibers. This positive charge allows it to adhere effectively to the negatively charged surfaces of hair, providing conditioning benefits.
  • Minimal Buildup: A significant advantage of polyquaternium-11 is its minimal accumulation on hair fibers.

Applications

Polyquaternium-11 finds extensive applications in various hair care products, leveraging its unique properties to deliver superior performance:

  • Hair Styling Products: In hair styling products, Polyquaternium-11 acts as an effective film-forming agent. Its ability to form a flexible yet durable film provides long-lasting hold and shape retention without stiffness. This makes it ideal for products like hair gels, mousses, and sprays, where styling control and natural appearance are desired.
  • Conditioning Agents: Polyquaternium-11 is a valuable conditioning agent in shampoos, conditioners, and long-lasting perm solutions. Its strong affinity to hair fibers ensures thorough coating and conditioning, resulting in improved hair texture and manageability. Additionally, it enhances the sensory attributes of hair, making it feel softer and smoother.

Packaging and Storage

  • Packaging Options: Typically packaged  in 50 kg or 125 kg plastic drums and 1,000 kg intermediate bulk containers, customizable according to customer requirements.
  • Storage Conditions: Stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to maintain the compound's integrity and efficacy.
