Poly (methacrylamidopropyltrimethylammonium) Chloride
 
 

MAQUAT PQ-125 is a 25% active Poly-methacrylamidopropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride in water. MAQUAT PQ-125 is a highly substantive, film forming Poly Quaternary that provides effective conditioning and body without build-up. Use in Conditioners and Relaxers, Conditioning Volumizing Shampoos, Skin Lotions, and Styling Gels, Mousses and Sprays.

MAQUAT PQ-125 is a unique high molecular weight cationic homopolymer that provides effective conditioning and flexible hold at low use concentrations, imparting non-greasy detangling, improves dry comb and fly away, while building volume and sheen, especially with colored, permed, sun dried and damaged hair. With a greater cationic charge density than found in traditional Hair/Skin Care Quaternaries, PQ-125 is also effective as a cationic emulsifier, and as an anti-static and softening agent in crèmes, lotions and other personal care products. Look for Polymethacrylamidopropyl Trimonium Chloride in P&G’s new DAILY Renewal 5x Revitalize SHAMPOO with “advanced 5x clean rinse technology.”

Maquat PQ-125 is non-flammable, non-VOC and TSCA, CDSL, EINECS, AICS listed.
