Technical Details & Test Data
- Science Behind
- Kerazyne™ MB is a polyesteramine.
- This chemistry provides hair conditioning through multiple mechanisms:
- Non-quat cationic sites are attracted to anionically charged hair fibers
- Ester linkages provide secondary attractive forces to hair fibers
- Alkyl group provides a protective, conditioning layer once bound to hair
- The combined effects result in emolliency and gloss characteristic of an ester and adhesion properties comparable to traditional amines.
- In cleansing applications, polyesteramines interact with surfactant molecules and reduce the interaction of individual surfactant molecules with the skin's lipid bilayers. The result is a reduction in skin irritation during cleansing.
- Improvement in Flyaway Reduction
Addition of Kerazyne™ MB Improves Flyaway Reduction
