Polyquaternium-10
Polyquaternium-10 is a polymeric quaternary ammonium salt of hydroxyethyl cellulose.
Polyquaternium-10 is a synthetic polymer, and like other polymers, it consists of repeating units, resulting in a range of molecular weights rather than a single value. The specific molecular weight can vary depending on the degree of polymerization (the number of repeating units).
