Function in Industry
|
Cosmetics and Personal Care: It is widely used as a conditioning agent in hair care products like shampoos, conditioners, and hair styling products. It can improve the manageability of hair, reduce static, and enhance softness. In skin care products, it can act as a humectant, helping to retain moisture and improve skin feel. Textile Industry: Used for fabric softening and anti – static treatment. It adheres to the fabric surface, providing a soft and smooth handfeel and reducing the build – up of static electricity during use. Water Treatment: Can be used as a coagulant aid. The cationic nature of Polyquaternium – 1 can interact with negatively charged particles in water, facilitating the coagulation process and improving the efficiency of water purification.
