On whether poly-quaternary ammonium salt-10 is a formaldehyde releasing agent
There are various opinions about whether poly-quaternary ammonium salt-10 is a formaldehyde releasing agent. To understand the reason, it is necessary to explore in detail.

The properties of poly-quaternary ammonium salt-10 are widely used in many fields, such as hair care and skin care products in daily chemical industry. Its unique structure, formed by specific polymerization reaction, has good stability and special properties, can increase product viscosity and flexibility, and is valued by the industry.

However, the theory that it is a formaldehyde releasing agent is suspected from some research and testing. There are tests showing that under specific conditions, products containing polyquaternary ammonium salt-10 may have trace amounts of formaldehyde detected. The reason is that the impurities in the synthesis process of polyquaternary ammonium salt-10 are not net, or the storage environment and use conditions cause it to decompose and produce formaldehyde. However, this situation is mostly extreme or specific conditions, and it is not a common phenomenon.

There are also many studies showing that under normal use and storage conditions, polyquaternary ammonium salt-10 is extremely stable, and there is no risk of formaldehyde release. Many products that have been strictly tested and certified contain polyquaternary ammonium salt-10 and the formaldehyde content meets safety standards, and are widely used without the harm of formaldehyde.

In summary, polyquaternary ammonium salt-10 is not a natural formaldehyde emitter. Although formaldehyde may be released under certain extreme conditions, in normal applications, as long as the production, storage and use are carried out in accordance with specifications, its safety can be guaranteed, and it cannot be identified as a formaldehyde emitter because of its occasional latent risk. It should be regarded with a scientific and objective attitude.
