100% active esterquat (solvent-free)
Liquid at room temperature
Based on rapeseed oil
Readily biodegradable (OECD-Test 301 F, > 60%)
Lower ecotox compared to common benchmark
Excellent conditioning properties
Easy to process
Additional thickening benefit in shampoos
Universally applicable in various hair care formulations, e.g. conditioners, shampoos, leave-in sprays
Cold processable – easy to process
Competitive cost/performance ratio
Improved sustainability features
Formulation hints
Conditioners
Due to its liquid form, VARISOFT® EQ 100 is not as compatible with solid fatty alcohols (needed as consistency enhancers)
Emulsifier necessary for stability, e.g. a solid quat like VARISOFT® EQ 65 MB; or TEGO® Care PBS 6 MB, dermofeel® NC MB
Higher levels of fatty alcohol beneficial for stability (>5% fatty alcohol per 1% VARISOFT® EQ 100)
Addition of low level Oleyl Alcohol (10% of total fatty alcohol content) beneficial for stability
Low level of polymers beneficial for stability, e.g. 0.05% Carbomer; 0.05% Alginate
Antioxidant agent (e.g. Propyl Gallate, Oxynex LM) recommended for color stability at higher temperatures
pH recommendation: 3 – 4.5 (as low as possible)
Shampoos
Clearly soluble in standard surfactant systems in combination with e.g. PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate (ratio 1 : 1)
Thickener level can be reduced
pH recommendation: 4 – 5.5 (as low as possible)
