Arquad® PC SV-60 PG surfactant is a multifunctional and versatile cationic conditioning agent made from renewable resources. It is a soy-based mono-alkyl quaternary ammonium compound in propylene glycol solvent. Due to its cationic nature and unique structure, Arquad® PC SV-60 PG surfactant is substantive to both hair and skin, providing excellent conditioning and emulsification performance.
Arquad® PC SV-60 PG surfactant improves detangling and wet combing of all hair types. It provides excellent wet feel while enhancing dry combing and leaving a smooth after feel. Arquad® PC SV-60 PG surfactant is compatible in a wide pH range allowing for stable formulations. Arquad® PC SV-60 PG surfactant provides benefits in a variety of hair care systems including temporary, semi and permanent hair colorant products. Arquad® PC SV-60 surfactant is a multi-functional, versatile conditioning agent that can be used in a wide range of personal care applications to provide the following benefits:
• Conditioning
• Static reduction
• Promotes deposition of silicones
• Emulsifies/stabilizes
• Provides unique texture
• Enhances sensory properties

Performance properties
The light color, low odor, and liquid form, as well as the stability of Arquad® PC SV-60 PG surfactant, provide the flexibility to prepare high quality hair care products
The conditioning benefits of Arquad® PC SV-60 PG surfactant are easily demonstrated in the following basic rinse-off conditioner formulation on European, damaged hair swatches. The Dia-stron MTT-160 instrument was utilized to measure the required force to comb through the hair swatches before and after the conditioner treatments, six swatches for each conditioner. The values obtained were then averaged and placed in a statistical analysis template to measure the percent combing force reduction. Values were reported at an 80% confidence level.
Wet combability (Dia-stron, damaged hair).
Wet combability performance of basic rinse-off formulations with 2% active Arquad® PC SV-60 PG surfactant on damaged hair using the Dia-stron 80% confidence level, LSD interval=1.1.
