Silsense™ Q-Plus Silicone

1 of 8 products in this brand
Silsense® Q-Plus Silicone is a 100% active, quaternary silicone compound that combines the conditioning benefits of traditional silicones and cationic quaternary compounds in a single molecule. SilSense Q-Plus silicone will add conditioning benefits to personal care products without the stability concerns that may be present with silicones or the irritancy that is often associated with quaternary ammonium compounds. Unlike traditional silicones, this silicone quarternary compound does not defoam and can even enhance foaming when used in hair care products. It is water-soluble, lending to enhanced ease-of-use in a wide range of shampoos, conditioners, and personal cleansers.

Product Highlights

Silicone Quaternary Compounds

By marrying traditional quaternary chemistry with silicones, we’ve created a multifunctional silicone quaternary compound that allows for effective conditioning with decreased irritancy and enhanced ease of use. Our silicone quaternary compound is pro-foaming when used in shampoos and personal cleansers. Compared to traditional quats, its enhanced water solubility and compatibility with anionics makes SilSense® Q-Plus silicone an excellent choice to boost conditioning in surfactant systems.
