OSMFACTOR® MYBTMS 50 has outstanding performance in the application of high-end hair care products. With its unique creamy texture and balanced hair care performance, it has become the core formula choice of many international brands.Through the golden ratio of behentrimonium methosulfate and cetearyl alcohol, this raw material shows excellent comprehensive conditioning effect in a complex hair conditioning environment.
The challenges of a complex hair conditioning environment
Complex hair conditioning environment usually refers to the need to deal with a variety of hair problems such as dry frizz, dyeing and perm damage, tangles and knotting at the same time or alternately, accompanied by the challenges of different temperature, humidity conditions and usage habits.Such conditions put forward strict requirements for the moderation, durability of efficacy and use experience of the agent.MYBTMS 50 shows good overall adaptability under these application parameters, especially in the tests of thick and hard hair common in the Asian market and soft and damaged hair common in the European and American markets.
I. Analysis of basic characteristics of raw materials
MYBTMS 50 belongs to the quaternary ammonium salt
Cationic Conditioner system. The molecular structure of behentrimonium methosulfate, its core component, contains 22 carbon long-chain alkyl groups and quaternary ammonium salt groups. This unique molecular configuration gives it excellent anti-tangle properties and hair affinity.The thickness of the molecular film formed by this component on the surface of the hair is about 5-8 nm, which can effectively reduce the coefficient of friction without causing the hair to feel heavy.The methyl sulfate group in the molecular structure has better water solubility and gentleness than the traditional chloride form, which lays the foundation for long-term conditioning effects in complex hair environments.
In terms of technical parameters, the active substance content of the raw material is stable at 48-52%, the solid content is 95-99%, the white granular appearance, the density is 0.45-0.55g/cm3, and the melting point is 60-80°C. These physical and chemical properties provide a technical guarantee for its application in the formula.
II. Performance in hair care performance
1. Verification of anti-tangle effect
Under laboratory conditions, hair care products with 1.0-3.0% MYBTMS 50 are added to reduce the combing resistance in the wet hair state and the dry hair state.In the standard hair bundle test, the combing time is shortened and the number of hair breaks is reduced.This excellent anti-tangle effect stems from its unique "molecular comb" mechanism of action, long-chain alkyl groups can form a smooth layer arranged in a directional manner on the surface of the hair.
2. Texture adaptability performance
The creamy texture ensures that the ingredients are evenly distributed on the surface of the hair to avoid stiff or greasy hair caused by local accumulation.Rheological tests have shown that the conditioner containing this raw material has a viscosity range of 8000-15000cps at 25°C, has an ideal yield value and thixotropic properties, and is easy to apply and rinse.This texture characteristic makes the spreading coefficient of the product on the hair reach 0.85, which is higher than the level of traditional conditioners.
3. Multiple hair adaptability
In different types of tests such as damaged hair, coarse and hard hair, and fine and soft hair, the raw materials maintain a relatively stable conditioning effect.Especially in a weakly acidic environment with a pH of 4.5-6.5, its cationic properties are optimized, which is highly consistent with the natural pH range of healthy hair.
III. Synergy of solvent system
1. Carrier function of cetearyl alcohol
As a high-quality solvent, cetearyl alcohol is a mixture of cosmetic-grade fatty alcohol, mainly composed of cetyl alcohol (C16) and stearyl alcohol (C18), which can perfectly disperse the core active ingredient behentrimonium methosulfate to form a stable and uniform formula system.The hydroxyl group of this component forms a hydrogen bond with the polar group of the conditioner, while the long-chain alkyl group has a hydrophobic interaction with the hair keratin, thereby enhancing the overall conditioning effect.
2. Moisturizing and synergistic
The emollient properties of Cetearyl alcohol can enhance the water-locking and moisturizing ability of hair, and its single molecular layer can reduce percutaneous water loss (TEWL).When combined with behentrimonium methosulfate, it can form a "water-locking-conditioning" double-layer structure on the surface of the hair. The inner layer provides a conditioning effect and the outer layer exerts a moisturizing function. This synergistic mechanism allows the water content of the hair to maintain a high level in a short period of time.
3. Guarantee of moderation
Compared with solvents such as isopropanol commonly used in traditional cationic conditioners, cetearyl alcohol has low irritation. This mild characteristic greatly broadens the scope of application of raw materials, including sensitive scalp, children's products, and frequent use scenarios. Safe application.
IV. Formula stability support
1. Temperature stability advantage
Under low temperature conditions, MYBTMS 50 can also maintain stable physical and chemical properties. This temperature adaptability allows it to adapt to the production, storage and use requirements of different climatic regions.
2. Long-term storage reliability
After the raw materials are stored at room temperature, dark and airtight for 24 months, the indicators still meet the specifications.In particular, its excellent freeze-thaw resistance provides a technical guarantee for the global transportation and seasonal storage of products.
3. Compatibility performance
It exhibits good compatibility with common hair care ingredients such as polydimethylsiloxane, various vegetable oils, hydrolyzed proteins, and preservative systems.In the compound formula, the synergistic coefficient between the raw material and the silicone oil reaches 1.3, which means that the adjustment effect of the two is better than that of using them alone.
