Sensomer

* CT-400 PolymerProduct Description:

Sensomer CT-400 polymer is a naturallyderived, multifunctional polymer for use in haircare formulations providing improved deposition,distinctive sensory and enhanced conditioning.When used in shampoos, Sensomer CT-400polymer deposits silicone more efficiently andconditions hair more effectively than standardcationic conditioning polymers. The improved

efficiency of the polymer allows formulators toreduce the amount of silicone and cationicpolymer needed to produce formulations thatgenerate smooth, silky, healthy looking hair thatis alluring to the eye and to the touch.

Sensomer CT-400 polymer is a cationicderivative of cassia gum, a galactomannan with along history of use in Ayurvedic medicine to treatskin ailments, indigestion and pain.

INCI Designation:

Cassia Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride

Benefits:

Very efficient silicone deposition aid

Good surfactant compatibility to generateformulations with medium clarity

Generates high levels of coacervation

Highly substantive polymer Enhances comb properties of hair in both the

wet and dry stage

Generates clean and fresh wet sensory

Leaves dry hair feeling soft and conditioned

Effective frizz control to leave hair lookingsmooth and silky

Enhances viscosity of anionic surfactant-based formulations

Enhances foam richness to generate a longlasting creamy foam in surfactant-basedformulations

Versatility to provide enhanced conditioningfor a wide variety of hair types

Applications:

Conditioning shampoos

Hair treatments

Smoothing shampoos

Body washes

Hair conditioners

Facial cleansers

Due to the high charge density of these naturally derivedpolymers, best results are obtained when surfactantconcentration is >12%.

Chemistry:Sensomer CT-400 polymer is a cationicderivative of cassia gum. Cassia gum is anatural, vegetable-based carbohydrate based

on mannose and galactose sugars and is amember of the galactomannan family ofpolysaccharides. The cassia gum used toproduce Sensomer CT-400 polymer is basedon a combination of cassia tora and cassiaobtusifolia which grow wild in tropical zonesaround the world.

Cassia gum is modified with the quaternaryammonium compound, hydroxypropyl trimethyl-ammonium chloride, to generate SensomerCT-400 polymer. The chemical identity of

the polymer is 2-hydroxypropyl-3-trimethyl-ammonium chloride cassia. The combination ofcationic charge and unique molecular structureprovides Sensomer CT-400 polymer with itsunique deposition characteristics and distinctivesensory.

Storage and Handling:
