Catalog Number CI-SC-0540
Product Name Polyquaternium-69
CAS 748809-45-2
Description Polyquaternium-69 is a quaternary polymeric quaternary ammonium salt composed of vinyl caprolactam, vinylpyrrolidone, dimethylaminopropyl methacrylamide (DMAPA), and methacryloylaminopropyl lauryldimonium chloride. It acts as a fixative for hair care formulations. Provides enhanced styling benefits compared to traditional hair gel formulations, as well as all day hold with improved high humidity curl resistance. Can be used for hold and styling benefits, or to increase shine and luster of hair. Reduces frizz, long lasting stiff hold, and enhances shine. Has low VOC.

Case Study

Polyquaternium-69 as a Fixative Polymer for Enhanced Hair Styling

Rigoletto, Raymond, et al. Cosmetic Science Technology, 2007, 142-156.

This work reports performance data for Polyquaternium-69 and formulations, demonstrating that Polyquaternium-69 can be easily incorporated into a variety of styling products, such as clear gels and creams, aerosol and non-aerosol mousses, styling lotions and sprays.
· A systematic analysis of Polyquaternium-69's performance data including chemistry, rheology, synergy, on-hair performance, high humidity curl retention, hair Characteristics testing, hair flexibility and durability, dynamic hair spray analysis, cantilever 3-point bending, water resistance, hair shine, image analysis on shine, anti-frizz effects, and gel clarity.
· Polyquaternium-69 offers superior styling benefits compared to other styling resins like Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and copolymers of vinyl acetate or acrylates (VA). It maintains essential formulation attributes like clarity, stability, foam properties, and meets low VOC requirements.
· The polymer's hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance results in excellent curl retention in high humidity, longer-lasting hold, and anti-frizz effects in humid conditions. Its water-soluble nature allows for compatibility with various cosmetic ingredients, including anionic gellants. Experimental studies have shown that Polyquaternium-69's multi-functional properties outperform traditional polymers, meeting the styling needs of customers and the market.
