Merquat™ 740 Polymer
INCI Name:
Polyquaternium-7
Merquat™ 740 polymer is an aqueous cationic copolymer developed for improved compatibility and clarity in anionic surfactant systems. This highly substantive copolymer is recommended to improve wet and dry properties of hair care products and to enhance feel in skin care products. Merquat™ 740 polymer is a high solids, low molecular weight paraben free polymer.
