Innovative Quaternary Conditioners
from Croda Inc
As ingredients, quats are a mainstay in hair care and are growing in popularity in skin care. Their widespread use is due to their substantive nature, high lubricity, ability to fight static, and conditioning effects such as detangling, combability, and silky feel.
 
Croda is a global leader in quat technology and is known for the innovation of its quats. We have an intensive quat development program and spend a considerable amount of research time characterizing the behavior and properties of these compounds to create products that target specific hair care problems, such as damage caused by cuticle abrasion or UV exposure. To assist formulators who work with these compounds, we have condensed our research data into chart form and issued Innovative Quaternary Conditioners from Croda Inc a great new reference guide for formulators who want to remain revolutionary and cutting edge in their product lines
What makes our quat chart such a valuable tool?
● Fold-out comprehensive reference chart to Croda’s complete line of quats
● Applications section matching quat to product type
● Easy-to-follow data trail giving physical and chemical descriptions, major conditioning effects, compatibility, regulatory, and more
 
● A brief tutorial on quats and their functionality

“Quaternary Ammonium Conditioners: Their Utility and Value in Personal Care”, an article written by Croda’s Joe Pavlichko, Marketing Director-Personal Care, is a comprehensive overview of Croda’s core competencies in quat technology that complements our quat chart.  The article summarizes the entire range of quats via chemical classification and product functionality as related to chemical structure, and provides data that translates into real “value-in-use” for the formulator. It also includes a review of hair morphology and a description of the testing capabilities of our PVCS (Product Validation and Claim Substantiation) lab. “Quaternary Ammonium Conditioners: Their Utility and Value in Personal Care” appeared in the 2002 issue of Cosmetics and Toiletries Manufacturing Worldwide magazine.
