1. Product Overview
PTM is a quaternized cationic conditioning agent, a high-performance polyquaternium derivative specially designed for personal care. It combines excellent conditioning, moisturizing, antistatic, and film‑forming properties in one ingredient.
PTM rapidly adsorbs onto the surface of hair and scalp, forming a smooth, breathable, non-greasy protective film. It effectively reduces hair friction, prevents tangling and breakage, deeply replenishes moisture and nutrients, and improves dryness, frizz, and brittleness.
It shows excellent compatibility with various surfactants, stable performance in different formula systems, and significantly enhances the conditioning effect of finished products, leaving hair soft, shiny, smooth, and easy to comb.
It is a highly efficient, multifunctional conditioning additive widely used in hair care and skin care products.
