Silsense™ A-21 Silicone

Silsense® A-21 Silicone is a 100% active, water-dispersible, amino-functional, and cationic silicone prepared by the alkoxylation of amino-functional silicones. The introduction of amine functionality into a silicone polyether creates a cationic, conditioning silicone. This modification enhances the molecules' ability to form ionic bonds with keratinaceous substrates. SilSense A-21 silicone can be easily formulated into clear aqueous systems without adversely impacting clarity and is readily incorporated into products without the need for elaborate emulsification or stabilization systems. It is recommended for use in a wide range of conditioning products.

Product Highlights: Amino-Functional Silicones

The introduction of amine functionality into a silicone polyether creates water soluble, cationic silicones that are substantive to skin and hair. They are easy to formulate in clear systems and feature excellent compatibility with many anionic surfactants. SilSense® A-21 silicone adds conditioning to a wide range of rinse-off products without the formulating difficulties that are often associated with amodimethicone.
