Efficient Conditioning Agents for Enhanced Performance in Hair Care Products
Evonik offers two new Aminopropyl Dimethicone products for cost-efficient and effective hair conditioning. ABIL® Soft AF 200 has been optimized for high-performance conditioning out of shampoo formulations. ABIL® Soft AF 300 is designed for the application in conditioning rinses.
The two aminosilicones provide excellent hair conditioning properties with superior hair feel, softness and smoothness. ABIL® Soft AF 200 and 300 (INCI: Aminopropyl Dimethicone) also give remarkable manageability and combability to the hair.
The new products are almost colorless liquids with low odor. Their low viscosities make them easy to handle and to process. The excellent performance of the new products is closely related to an innovative synthetic route which leads to an optimal alignment of the functional groups along the polymer and to excellent purity. The content of cyclic silicones, D4 and D5, is very low, and due to the absence of secondary amines there is no risk of nitrosamine formation.
