SENSOMER® Natural Liquid Conditioning Polymers
SENSOMER CI-50 combines the expertise used in developing the highly acclaimed Merquat® polymers with a naturally derived polysaccharide to supply superior conditioning properties to hair and skin care formulations. SENSOMER CI-50 (INCI name starch hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride) is an easily used liquid derived from food-grade potato starch.
Comprised of approximately 30 percent solids and containing a cationic charge, SENSOMER CI-50 has a molecular weight of 2 x 106 and is preserved with food grade sodium benzoate.
SENSOMER CI-50 is easily incorporated into clear formulations. Heating, pH adjustment or neutralization are not required, offering cost savings in formulation time and energy requirements. It is compatible with a variety of surfactants, as well as cellulosic thickeners. SENSOMER CI-50 can be thickened with salt, and can accommodate almost any order of addition with temperature less than 40°C (104°F).
