Products in Hand Hygiene: Silicones

Poly Suga®Sil C-800P starts from a naturally derive building block, alkyl polyglucoside, and is derivatized with dimethicone to make a product that has excellent feel and conditioning. When used in shampoos, body washes, and other personal care formulation, it actually contributes to the foam of the formulation.

Siltech®1050 is a very high viscosity silanol diluted in a low viscosity dimethylsiloxane.

Silquat®Di-30-F4D is a silicone quaternary compound for use as a conditioning and cleansing agent for hair and skin care products.

TC-204 is a yellowish to colorless liquid safe water-soluble surfactant at normal usage, with good moisturizing, foam-stabilizing and conditioning capacity. It can be applied as hair conditioner to provide hair a silky feel, also used as skin emollient widely applied in 2 in 1 shampoo, styling product, soap, shaving product, skin lotion, make-up foundation and antiperspirant.

Silsoft Silk™ Conditioning Agent can help deliver outstanding softness to damaged thick or wavy hair without leaving it heavy, limp, greasy or with excess residue. This technology was developed as a lightweight conditioning additive (especially for shampoos) and provides easy formulation and dilution stability. Silsoft™ Silk conditioning agent’s high actives level and quat density can make it more efficient than other conditioning polymers. It is a versatile candidate to consider for a broad range of hair care applications.

Silsoft™ 860 Conditioning Agent is a member of the Silsoft™ dimethicone copolyol family of multifunctional surface tension reducing molecules. The dimethicone portion can deliver remarkable sensory qualities to skin care formulations. The polyether component can contribute to emulsification, differential solubility and compatibility. It can produce products with a wide range of foaming, solubility, emulsification and dispersing properties and ability to provide excellent wetting benefits.

Momentive Performance Materials SF1388 Silicone Fluid is a water soluble silicone wax useful for enhancing soft silky feel and boosting foam in water base products such as shampoos, conditioners, and body wash. It is the ABA type copolymer with the substitution of polyethylene oxide on a silicone polymer. Additionally, SF1388 enhances wash ability of antiperspirants.

TC-206 is a safe water-soluble surfactant at normal usage, with good moisturizing, foam-stabilizing and conditioning capacity. It can be used as hair conditioner to provide hair a silky feel, also used as skin emollient, widely applied in 2 in 1 shampoo, styling product, soap, shaving product, skin lotion, make-up foundation and antiperspirant.
