• 

  Celquat® SC-230M

  High viscosity cationic conditioning polymer suitable for a wide variety of applications. It shows an excellent coacervation profile and deposition performance. With Celquat SC 230-M, formulators can achieve effective thickening performance and significantly better clarity.

• 

  Arquad® PC SV-60 PG

  A multifunctional cationic conditioning agent made from renewable resources. It improves detangling and wet combing of all hair types, delivering wet feel, enhancing dry combing and leaving a smooth after-feel. It is compatible in a wide pH range allowing for stable formulations and offers benefits in a variety of hair care systems, including temporary, semi and permanent hair colorant products.

• 

  Armocare® VGH-70

  Readily biodegradable, sustainable vegetable-derived conditioning agent that provides conditioning without build-up. Easy to process, it enables minimal energy consumption. Available in Asia only.

• 

  Elfan® AT84 G

  Non-dusty granules for easy handling in the manufacturing process. Suitable for soap bars, giving excellent foam creaminess.

• 

  Hydrovance®

  Delivers moisturization efficacy comparable to the leading market benchmarks while offering non-greasy aesthetics, hair cuticle repair, and cost effectiveness.

• 

  Celquat® SC-240C

  A surfactant compatible, low viscosity cationic polymer that provides medium conditioning with optimal usage in shampoo and pourable body formulations.

• 

  Armocare® APA-18V

  An amidoamine, derived from vegetable source. It provides outstanding sensorial properties with instantaneous conditioning and detangling of hair. Due to its high substantivity it provides wet detangling, wet and dry comb, wet and dry after-feel as well as anti-static properties. Available in South America and Asia only.

• 

  Elfan® AT84

  Mild sulfate-free surfactant that provides high foam build up while maintaining outstanding clarity. Enables dense, creamy and stable foams in soft and hard water.

• 

  Flexan® II

  This highly anionic polymer can be used to forms clear, flexible films that quickly dissipate static charges to tame flyway and frizz or to remove cationic build-up from the hair. As the film shrinks upon itself while drying, it can also provide a thermal shield on the hair to prevent excessive damage from heated styling implements.

Rheology modifiers are essential ingredients to define product form and function. They affect the flow and feel of a product, determine application properties, and enable the creation of products with consumer preferred textures and visual appeal.

• 

  Structure® XL

  An easy to use nonionic naturally derived, biodegradable multifunctional rheology modifier that offers thickening, emulsion stabilization, and sensory enhancement. This product can provide improvements to foam in cleansing systems as well as lighter sensory in conditioners.

• 

  Elfacos® GT282S

  This versatile nonionic polyalkylene derived associative thickener provides effective rheology modification over a broad pH range (2-12). This product is compatible with a wide range of surfactants and is an excellent choice for difficult to thicken applications like sulfate-free surfactants.

• 

  Structure® 2001

  Associative thickener ideal for high viscosity systems with exceptional shear-thinning properties. Very stable in presence of solvents and counter ions. Recommended for hydrophilic hair color, relaxers, gels and depilatories.

• 

  Structure® 3001

  Associative thickener with lower viscosity profile. Outstanding tolerance to salt, solvents and counter ions. Provides gel-like texture, yet very workable. Recommended for hydrophobic hair color, permanent waves and depilatories.

• 

  Structure® ZEA

  An easy to use nonionic naturally derived, biodegradable multifunctional rheology modifier that offers thickening, emulsion stabilization, and sensory enhancement. Structure ZEA is a lower viscosity version of Structure XL that is more tolerant to extreme processing conditions such as high shear and acidic conditions.

• 

  Ethomid® HP/60

  Unique vegetable-derived surfactant that provides enhanced wetting properties and excellent dispersion in hair colorants. Its high-electrolyte tolerance opens a wide range of formulation possibilities.

• 

  Akucell® and Cekol®

  Akucell® and Cekol® are one ot he most comprehensive cellulose gum product lines in the world, providing formulations of shampoos, gels and hair conditioners with unique properties such as thickening, rheology and film forming.
