description
Gafquat™ cationic conditioning copolymers are film formers with enhanced substantivity and are specially designed for use in hair care applications like hair mousses, leave-on detangling products and hair gels, to provide multifunctional benefits such as styling and conditioning. Gafquat™ series, developed by Ashland, provides hair styling with a smoother, more conditioned hair feel and helps to protect against thermal and mechanical damage caused by brushing and blow drying.
key features
- styling and conditioning in one step
- flexible hold
- thermal protection from brush and blow dry styling applications
- resistance to high humidity
- excellent detangling effect
- easy wet combing
- enhances natural shine and luster
- no tack during dry down
quaternized copolymer with enhanced substantivity
- gafquat™ 755 N is a high molecular weight product (20% solution)
- gafquat™ 440 is a medium molecular weight product (30% solution)
- gafquat™ hs-100 is a high molecular weight product (20% solution)
formulation ideas
Gafquat™ series polymer can be used in mousses, gels, serums, pomades, waxes, pastes, styling sprays, conditioning rinses, leave-in treatments, and detangling sprays.
