TILAMAR® Quat 2240 (INCI: Polyquaternium-22) is a conditioning polymer with high wet detangling properties and excellent removability, preventing a build-up effect. Hair softness is featured with very good feel and combability on both wet and dry hair. In hair care, TILAMAR® Quat 2240 is recommended for formulations in shampoos (it can be readily formulated for clear shampoos), conditioners, bleaches, dyes, relaxers, styling products, and permanent waves. In skin care, TILAMAR® Quat 2240 is recommended for use in moisturizing lotions, creams, bath gels, liquid soaps, soap bars, shaving products, antiperspirants, and deodorants. TILAMAR® Quat 2240 is a highly charged aqueous solution copolymer comprised of diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride and acrylic acid. It is a clear to hazy, viscous liquid.
The diverse PQ-22 grades differ from each other in respect of molecular weight and the related viscosity.
