MACKERNIUM® HQ-400G

1 of 25 products in this brand
MACKERNIUM® HQ-400G is a polymeric quaternary ammonium salt of hydroxyethyl cellulose that delivers excellent conditioning, combability, and anti-static benefits in shampoos and conditioners due to its cationic nature. In skin cleansers, it provides softness and slip for a smoother application. However, MACKERNIUM® HQ-400G has a low ability to build viscosity when used alone in formulations.
