Key Advantages

Enhanced Plating Performance

As a superior leveling agent, Polyquaternium-2 promotes uniform thickness in zinc and zinc alloy electroplating baths, especially in alkaline cyanide-free zinc plating solutions, leading to improved coating quality.

Superior Conditioning for Personal Care

In hair and skin care, Polyquaternium-2 acts as an excellent conditioning agent, leaving hair with a soft, silky feel and skin with a smooth, velvety texture. It helps manage static and improves manageability.

Effective Water Treatment Solution

With its bactericidal and algicidal properties, Polyquaternium-2 is an efficient biocide and slime-stripping agent for industrial circulating water systems, preventing microbial growth and maintaining system efficiency.

Key Applications

Zinc Electroplating

Used as a leveling agent to ensure consistent coating thickness in alkaline zinc plating baths, improving the overall quality and appearance of plated parts.

Cosmetics and Personal Care

Functions as a hair conditioner, skin conditioner, antistatic agent, and preservative in shampoos, conditioners, skincare products, and cleaning agents, providing a desirable sensory experience.

Industrial Water Treatment

Acts as a biocide and slime-stripping agent to control microbial growth in circulating cooling water systems, preventing fouling and maintaining operational efficiency.

Metalworking Fluids

Can be employed as a settling agent in metal cutting fluids, helping to chelate metal powders and keep coolants clear, thus preserving cooling performance.
