Colonial 18-S is fatty amido-functional tertiary amine in flaked form. It may be neutralized with a variety of acids to form a cationic amine salt. This product is produced from a high purity vegetable-derived grade of stearic acid.Colonial 18-S is useful as the primary ingredient for a conditioner, finishing rinse, or cream rinse. Amine salts offer a major advantage over quaternary ammonium compounds in that they can more easily be rinsed from the hair and reduce conditioner buildup. Blended with a proper co-emulsifier, both opaque or pearly conditioner formulations can be commercially developed.
