Gafquat™ copolymer
Two VP/DMAE MA copolymers are quaternized with diethylsulfate, producing Gafquat 755/755N and Gafquat 734 which give transparent, glossy, tack free, flexible films. The polymers are substantive to
negatively charged surfaces and compatible with anionic and amphoteric surfactants.
