Overview
Guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride (CAS 65497-29-2 ) is a cationic guar derivative used across personal care and industrial markets. It deposits a conditioning film on negatively charged surfaces through electrostatic attraction.
This mechanism drives its use as a conditioning and rheology-modifying agent in rinse-off and leave-on formulations. In shampoos and conditioners, it reduces combing friction and improves wet detangling without weighing hair down.
Skin care formulators incorporate it into lotions and cleansers where it provides moisturization and a smooth after-feel. In textile processing, it functions as a softening and antistatic agent applied during finishing.
The chemical improves fabric handle and is also utilized by paper and leather manufacturers. These industries use it to modify surface charge and improve wet strength or binding performance in their respective processing steps.
Guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride is supplied as a free-flowing off-white to cream powder. It is available in cosmetic-grade specifications suitable for personal care formulations with varying charge densities.
Different grades are offered to provide specific viscosity profiles to suit unique application requirements. Industrial grades are also available for textile and paper processing end uses to ensure optimal performance.
