Texique® PQ37
Whether you’re producing products for skin, hair, or body care, Texique PQ37 can condition and improve viscosity all in one. It is a preservative free cationic acrylic homopolymer dispersion using naturally derived hemisqualane to deliver excellent performance as both a conditioning agent and rheology modifier.
As a conditioning and thickening polymer ideally suited for a diverse range of applications, Texique PQ37 is a great addition to any number of formulations. As well as skin and hair care, it is also excellent in sun creams and lotions as well as aqueous systems. As a stabilising and suspending agent, it opacifies and is also cold-processable without requiring neutralisation.
