XIAMETER(TM) OFX-8220 Fluid

1 of 35 products in this brand
XIAMETER(TM) OFX-8220 Fluid is an amino functional polydimethylsiloxane. The highly basic nature of the primary amine groups on trimethylsilylamodimethicone causes this silicone polymer to develop a net positive charge in aqueous systems over a wide pH range (approximately 1 to 10.5). Consequently XIAMETER(TM) OFX-8220 Fluid is substantive to hair and useful for delivering shine, gloss, combing, and smoothness benefits in hair care applications. XIAMETER™ OFX-8220 Fluid is also suitable for clear products such as clear conditioning shampoos.
