Polyquaternium-46 (Polyquats) are polycationic polymers designated by the International Nomenclature for Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI) for use in the personal care industry.
They are polymers containing a quaternary ammonium cation which is positively charged.
Polyquaternium-46 are commonly found in hair products as antistatic agents to neutralize charge build-up in the hair as well as skin products as film-forming agents.
Different Polyquaternium-46 and quaterniums tend to be chemically distinct from each other and have a wide range of uses.

Polyquaternium-46 find particular application in conditioners, shampoo, hair mousse, hair spray, hair dye, personal lubricant, and contact lens solutions.
Because they are positively charged, they neutralize the negative charges of most shampoos and hair proteins and help hair lie flat.
Their positive charges also ionically bond them to hair and skin.
Some have antimicrobial properties.
Polyquaternium-46 is an organic compound in the polyquaternium class of chemicals and used in the personal care industry.
Polyquaternium-46 is the copolymer of acrylamide and the quaternary ammonium salt diallyldimethylammonium chloride.
Polyquaternium-46 is the designation established with the original association, Cosmetics, Toiletries, and Fragrance Association (CTFA), now known as the Personal Care Products Council. There are an abundance of product names containing the same or a similar active ingredient for applications outside the cosmetics and personal care industry.
Polyquaternium-46 is applied in waste treatment for laundry, emulsion breaking, sludge dewatering and drainage and retention aid.
Polyquaternium-46 is a cationic polyelectrolyte.
Polyquaternium-46 is used as modifier, for example in shampoo, hair conditioner, hair spray, mousse, soap, gel, styling agent, shaving product, deodorant and antiperspirant.
The DADMAC monomer is highly hydrophilic.
Absorption of moisture from the air lends "conditioning" properties to the products that contain the copolymer such as shampoos, hair and skin conditioners and other personal care products including some bar soaps.
Polyquaternium-46 is considered to be a conditioner if it improves the quality of the surface to which it is applied, particularly if this improvement involves the correction or prevention of certain aspects associated with surface damage.
Conditioning of the hair and skin must be a continuous process, as both substrates are in a constant cycle of shedding and renewal.
The main difference between hair and skin is that skin is basically a living organ that replaces its outermost layer on a frequent basis.
Hair, in contrast, is basically dead material derived from a few live cells deep within the skin surface.
Polyquaternium-46 is a very efficient, multinational polymer for use in a variety of cleansing products to improve the wet combability of the hair and prevent electrostatic charging when the hair is dry.
Polyquaternium-46 also protects the hair by forming a shield around each hair so that its surface is less readily attacked.
Polyquaternium-46 conditions and provides a smooth silky feel to the hair.
The lather creaminess is significantly improved.
There are no drawbacks with fine hair regarding volume, accumulation and build-up when used at recommended use levels.
