Behenoyl PG-Trimonium Chloride

MAQUAT BPGTMC is a 70% solid (3-Behenoyloxy-2-hydroxypropyl) trimethyl ammonium chloride in a water/hexylene glycol low melting paste. With the unique substantive and anti-static properties of the behenyl moiety, BPGTMC is an easy to handle product for a superior conditioning ingredient in personal care products. MAQUAT BPGTMC imparts exceptional wetting, cleaning, conditioning, softening, suspending and emulsification.

With over 35 years quat manufacturing experience and using the highest quality raw materials, MAQUAT BPGTMC is characteristically low color, low odor and reliably consistent batch to batch.

MAQUAT BPGTMC is based on the primary lipid found on hair surfaces, making it a uniquely natural compliment for use in hair conditioners and rinses, skin creams and lotions. BPGTMC imparts smooth detangling, improves dry comb and fly away, while leaving a soft powdery afterfeel. In other applications, use Maquat BPGTMC as a cationic emulsifier. Look for PEG-4 Rapeseedamide in Phyto’s new Phytosesame Conditioner and PHYTOSPECIFIC Vital Force Creme Bath.

Maquat BPGTMC is non-flammable, non-VOC, non-DOT, biodegradable (aerobic >74% in 28 days, anaerobic >60%) with exceptional Ecotoxicological properties.

Damaged hair, especially permed hair can be difficult to comb, especially when wet. Hair Conditioner products are generally oil-in-water emulsions in which the lipophilic conditioning quaternium ammonium salt is the active ingredient. The conditioning quat, along with the fatty alcohols impart wet-comb performance to the formulation. The superior substantive properties of Maquat BPGTMC over other conditioning cationics significantly improves wet comb performance of these formulas, and others of their type, especially on damaged hair.
