PQ47 POLYMER is a high-performance cationic conditioning polymer based on Polyquaternium-47, specially developed for personal care formulations. As a multifunctional quaternized copolymer, it integrates excellent conditioning, anti-static, moisturizing and irritation-mitigating properties. It can rapidly adsorb onto hair and skin surfaces, forming a smooth, non-greasy protective film, effectively improving hair combability and skin smoothness, while reducing the irritation caused by surfactants in cleansing products. It features outstanding compatibility with various surfactants and stable performance in different formula systems, widely used in hair care and skin care products.

Core Benefits
- Superior Hair Conditioning: Significantly improves wet and dry combability, enhances hair softness and manageability, reduces tangling and breakage caused by combing.
- Excellent Anti-static & Anti-frizz: Neutralizes static electricity, eliminates hair flyaways and frizz, leaving hair smooth, docile and with long-lasting luster.
- Skin-friendly & Mild: Effectively reduces the irritation caused by surfactants in cleansing products, enhances skin smoothness and comfort after washing, suitable for sensitive skin and scalp.
- High Formulation Stability: No precipitation or delamination in various formula systems, suitable for both transparent and opaque personal care products.
- Moisturizing & Film-forming: Forms a breathable protective film on hair and skin, locks in moisture, improves dry and rough hair/skin texture without causing greasiness.
3. Application
- Recommended Dosage: 1.0-5.0% (based on total formulation weight)
- Usage Recommendation: It is recommended to add in the later stage of product preparation (below 60°C) to avoid high temperature affecting its conditioning and irritation-mitigating performance. Stir evenly at low speed to ensure uniform dispersion for optimal efficacy.
- Formula Application:
- Hair care: Shampoos, conditioners, hair masks, hair care essences, perm and hair dye products
- Skin care: Body washes, facial cleansers, hand sanitizers and other mild cleansing products
