MAQUAT BTMC-85% imparts exceptional wetting, cleaning, conditioning, softening, suspending and emulsification.

With over 35 years quat manufacturing experience and using the highest quality raw materials, MAQUAT BTMC-85% is characteristically low color, low odor and reliably consistent batch to batch.

MAQUAT BTMC-85% is based on the primary lipid found on hair surfaces, making it a uniquely natural compliment for use in hair conditioners and rinses, skin creams and lotions.

Damaged hair, especially permed hair can be difficult to comb, especially when wet. Hair Conditioner products are generally oil-in-water emulsions in which the lipophilic conditioning quaternium ammonium salt is the active ingredient. The conditioning quat, along with the fatty alcohols impart wet-comb performance to the formulation. The superior substantive properties of Maquat BTMC-85% over other conditioning cationics significantly improves wet comb performance of these formulas, and others of their type, especially on damaged hair.
