Product Name:Silicone fluid NV-PC4130

INCI: Silicone Quaternium -18 (and) Trideceth-12,Trideceth-6

Chemical Informations:

Main Composition: Silicone Quaternium -18; Trideceth-12; Trideceth-6

Chemical Character: Cationic silicone micro-emulsion.This polymer features a silicone backbone with terminal or side-chain quaternary ammonium groups, combining the film-forming properties of silicone with the high substantivity of a "quat."

Cas No.: - (Silicone Quaternium-18); 24938-91-8 (Trideceth-6/12)

Product Description:

NV-PC4130 is a transparent to slightly turbid micro-emulsion of Silicone Quaternium-18. Due to its extremely small particle size, it remains stable and clear in aqueous systems. It is engineered to provide superior conditioning and color protection without the heavy buildup associated with traditional silicones. It is an ideal ingredient for transparent shampoos, leave-in conditioners, and intensive hair treatments where optical clarity and high performance are required.

Typical properties:

Appearance: transparent to slight turbidite liquid

Solid content(%):30±2

pH: 6-9

Solubility:Readily dispersible in water

Key Benefits & Features:

Superior Color Protection: Dramatically improves the wash-fastness of hair dyes and reduces color fading.

Optical Clarity: Maintains the transparency of clear shampoos and liquid hair treatments.

Heat Protection: Shields the hair fiber from damage during heat styling (blow-drying, flat-ironing).

Enhanced Combability: Provides excellent wet and dry combing, reducing mechanical hair damage.

Volume Maintenance: Unlike standard amodimethicones, it provides conditioning without "weighing down" the hair, maintaining natural volume.

Antistatic Effect: Eliminates "fly-away" hair by neutralizing surface charges.

Applications:

Transparent Shampoos: Provides conditioning while keeping the formulation crystal clear.

Leave-on Sprays: Perfect for lightweight, water-based detangling and shine sprays.

Hair Colorants: Used in pre-treatments or post-dye conditioners to lock in color.

Conditioning Mousses & Gels: Ideal for clear styling products with hair care benefits.

Formulation Guide:

Processing: Easily incorporated into water-based systems. It is recommended to add the product during the final stage of formulation with gentle stirring.

Compatibility: Excellent compatibility with cationic, non-ionic, and most anionic surfactant systems. When used in anionic systems, it is recommended to check for long-term stability and clarity.

Processing Temperature: Suitable for cold processing. If heating is required, ensure temperatures remain below 50°C.

Dosage:

Clear Shampoos: 1.0%–4.0%

Leave-in Conditioners: 0.5%–2.0%

Intensive Hair Masks: 2.0%–5.0%

Handling & Precautions:

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. Protect from freezing and extreme heat (5°C – 35°C).

Homogeneity: If the product appears slightly turbid due to low-temperature storage, gentle warming and stirring will restore its transparency.

Safety: Use standard industrial safety protocols (safety glasses and gloves).

Packaging & Shelf Life:

Packaging: Typically available in 25kg, 50kg, or 200kg plastic drums.

Shelf Life: 12 months from the date of manufacture when stored in the original, unopened container.
