Silicone Free Cationic Polymer Shampoo Polyquaternium 78 2000PR cas 1023302-86-4
Polyquaternium-78 Cationic Polymer for Silicone-Free Hair Care Formulations
Product Description:
2000 PR is an advanced cationic polymer derived from the polymerization of natural alkyl glycosides, designed to deliver exceptional conditioning and moisturizing benefits for hair care formulations. Its unique structure combines high charge density with superior keratin affinity, making it ideal for shampoos, conditioners, styling products, and perming treatments. Particularly effective in silicone-free systems, it enhances wet combing, reduces static, and imparts a lightweight, silky finish while promoting optimal deposition of conditioning agents.

Key Features & Benefits
1. Superior Hair Conditioning Performance
Intense Moisturization: The polyalkyl glycoside chain provides deep hydration, repairing damaged hair and improving elasticity.
-Enhanced Wet Combability: Reduces friction for effortless detangling and minimizes breakage during washing.
Silicone-Free Efficacy:Acts as a standout alternative to silicones, offering excellent slip and rinseability without buildup.
Heat & Chemical Protection: Ideal for perming/bleaching formulations, helping to maintain hair integrity.
2. Sensory & Functional Advantages
Lightweight Smoothness:Leaves hair shiny, soft, and static-free with a non-greasy feel.
High Charge Density: Boosts deposition of actives (e.g., oils, proteins) for targeted conditioning.
Wide pH Tolerance (3.5–5.5): Stable in acidic to neutral formulations, compatible with anionic/amphoteric surfactants.
3. Technical Specifications
Appearance: Colorless transparent liquid with a characteristic odor.
Active Content: 29.0–31.0%.
Viscosity:500–2,000 mPa.s (25°C), ensuring easy blending.
Recommended Applications
Shampoos/Conditioners: Especially clear, silicone-free formulas (**Usage: 0.5–5.0%**).
Styling & Perming Products: Enhances hold while reducing frizz and flaking.
Damage-Repair Treatments: Bonds to keratin to restore strength and shine.
Formulation Guidelines
Compatibility: Mixes well with betaine and other amphoterics for transparent solutions.
Processing:Add during cooling (avoid high shear); for Carbopol® systems, incorporate post-neutralization.
Clarity Tip: Pre-disperse in amphoteric surfactants to optimize transparency.
Packaging & Storage
Packaging:25 kg/plastic drum.
Storage: Keep in a cool, ventilated area.
Conclusion
2000 PR (Polyquaternium-78) redefines hair care performance with its natural-derived, cationic efficiency. Whether for moisturizing shampoos, resilient perms, or lightweight conditioners, it delivers unparalleled sensory and functional benefits.
Suggested Dosage: Start at 0.5% (adjust per formulation goals).
