Polyquaternium-6 (PolyDADMAC) Color Fixing Agent and Cationic Flocculant Polyelectrolyte for Textile Wastewater Treatment
Polyquaternium-6 (PolyDADMAC) Color Fixing Agent and Cationic Flocculant for Textile Wastewater Treatment
Bluwat Chemicals — textile auxiliaries and effluent treatment polymers
Overview
Bluwat Chemicals supplies Polyquaternium-6, also known as PolyDADMAC or PDADMAC, for dual use in the textile industry. It works as a color fixing agent in fabric finishing to improve fastness, and as a cationic flocculant in textile wastewater treatment to reduce color and suspended solids. With high charge density and multiple grades, it provides reliable performance across diverse textile processes and effluent treatment systems.
Why Polyquaternium-6 for Textile Applications
- Enhances dye uptake, improves wash fastness, and reduces back staining on fabrics.
- Removes residual dye color from reactive, disperse, and vat dye effluents.
- Acts as a strong cationic flocculant in ETP coagulation, cutting COD and turbidity.
- Effective across a broad pH range (liquid ~0.5–14, powder ~5–14).
- Can be used alone or paired with PAC for enhanced performance.
- Reduces sludge volume and improves dewatering efficiency.
