Request SDS →A silicone-backbone quaternary ammonium compound (CAS 134737-05-6), INCI name Quaternium-80. It pairs a dimethicone-type silicone segment with cationic quaternary groups and is used in personal-care formulations as a hair-conditioning and antistatic agent.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Quaternium-80 a silicone?
It is a silicone-backbone quaternary ammonium compound (CAS 134737-05-6). It pairs a dimethicone-type silicone segment with cationic quaternary groups, so it combines silicone chemistry with cationic conditioning behavior in a single molecule.
What is Quaternium-80 used for?
Quaternium-80 is used in personal-care formulations as a hair-conditioning and antistatic agent. It deposits on the hair shaft to improve wet and dry combing and is used as a cationic conditioning additive in both rinse-off and leave-on formats.
Is Quaternium-80 water soluble?
Quaternium-80 is a silicone-based cationic conditioning agent and is typically pre-dissolved in carriers such as propylene glycol and benzyl alcohol for ease of incorporation. Refer to the technical data sheet for the supplied form and recommended dispersion method in your formulation.
Why is Quaternium-80 often supplied with propylene glycol and benzyl alcohol?
The silicone quaternary itself is viscous, so it is commonly delivered in a propylene glycol and benzyl alcohol carrier system to aid handling and incorporation into formulations. The active component is the Quaternium-80 under CAS 134737-05-6.
What packaging and documentation are available for bulk Quaternium-80?
RawSource supplies Quaternium-80 to manufacturers in industrial bulk formats with a CoA and SDS on request. Pricing varies with volume and market conditions; submit a bulk RFQ with your target quantity for pack sizes, MOQ, and lead time.
