  • Applications

    Luviquat Hold, CAS 174761-16-1, is a cationic polymer used primarily in cosmetics and personal care as a conditioning agent and film-forming/holding polymer for hair styling. In hair care formulations such as shampoos, conditioners, gels and styling sprays, it provides conditioning while contributing to hold and smoothness; it can improve combing and manageability. It is also employed as a rheology modifier and thickener in cosmetic emulsions and ready-to-use styling products, helping to stabilize dispersions and control viscosity. In fabric care, it can be formulated into fabric softeners and anti-static treatments to improve hand feel and reduce cling. In industrial applications, it may serve as a binder or film-forming additive in coatings or inks and as a viscosity modifier in various emulsions and specialty formulations. Subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
