Product Manufacturing Process
Quaternium-18 Hectorite is manufactured through the chemical modification of natural hectorite clay with quaternary ammonium compounds. This process enhances its thickening, stabilizing, and conditioning abilities. After extraction, the clay undergoes purification and is then treated with the quaternary compounds which introduce hydrophobic properties. The end product is a fine, free-flowing white powder ready for incorporation into various formulations. Studies have shown that this modification significantly improves product performance in terms of stability and user experience.
