Ecopol-17S

Ecopol-17S is a highly substituted cationic (quaternary) guar gum polymer offered by Economy Polymers & Chemicals in the United States. The polymer provides both conditioning and thickening functions for hair and skin care formulations. It is derived from a renewable vegetable source and features a high molecular weight that enhances substantivity to anionic surfaces.

Typical highly substituted cationic guar gums exhibit charge densities between 0.6 and 0.9 mmol g⁻¹ and viscosity values from 4 000 to 12 000 mPa·s at 1 % concentration and 25 °C. The quaternary ammonium groups give strong attraction to hair keratin and skin proteins, improving slip and film formation. Standard storage temperature is 15 - 30 °C, and the polymer remains stable across a pH range of 4 to 8. Being sourced from renewable raw material, the product aligns with green formulation trends.

Formulators of hair conditioners, skin moisturisers and leave‑in treatments commonly select Ecopol‑17S for its dual performance. The supplier indicates flexible packaging options and can arrange shipment under FOB or CIF terms. Buyers should confirm the exact batch specifications, any available certifications and the lead time before finalising the purchase.

Economy Polymers & Chemicals is located at 435 E. Anderson Road, Houston, Texas 77047, United States.
