THE STORY OF NANOQUAT BMS
Nanoquat BMS: The Gentle, Premium Conditioning Emulsifier
Nanoquat BMS (BTMS) is acationic conditioning emulsifier known for its mildness, luxurious slip, and velvety after-feel on hair and skin. Unlike harsher quats, BTMS is exceptionally gentle, making it the preferred conditioning agent for premium hair masks, leave-in creams, and skin lotions.
Plant-Derived Conditioning Active from Rapeseed Oil
Nanoquat BMS is produced by reacting behenyl fatty acid (from rapeseed oil) with methosulfate to form a mild, hair-compatible quaternary ammonium compound. TRCkem supplies BTMS-25 and BTMS-50 grades, standardized for high purity, low odor, and predictable melting behavior in emulsions.
Silky Slip. Deep Conditioning. Lightweight Feel.
Nanoquat BMS offers multiple benefits:
✅ Superior detangling & comb-through slip
✅ Reduces frizz, static, and breakage
✅ Lightweight conditioning — no buildup
✅ Adds softness to both hair & skin emulsions
✅ Ideal for curly, damaged, or color-treated hair
Commonly used in: deep conditioners, leave-ins, creams, beard balms, co-wash formulations, skin conditioners, lotion bars.
Formulator-Friendly, Mild & Globally Compliant
Typical use level:
•2–6%in rinse-off conditioners
•3–10%in leave-on creams & masks
•5–20%in solid conditioner bars & anhydrous balms
Must be melted intooil phase at 65–75°Cfor proper emulsification.
Mild, non-irritating, readily biodegradable, and accepted under global regulations for rinse-off and leave-on products.
