Branched polylysine polymer architecture: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Chemical damage and protein buildup degrade hair texture and scalp health, which is mitigated through targeted enzymatic hydrolysis. This approach replaces harsh chemical surfactants with bio-catalytic degradation to improve fiber integrity.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Branched polylysine polymer architecture?

Poor active ingredient deposition

(19)evidences

Aggressive alkaline treatments in hair relaxing cause structural degradation and protein loss. Reducing this damage maintains fiber integrity and scalp health during chemical processing.

Microbial biofilm accumulation

(9)evidences

Microbial resistance and rapid degradation of active agents limit long-term efficacy in oral and topical environments. Enhancing persistence and activity levels prevents premature loss of therapeutic function.

Inefficient benefit agent deposition

(3)evidences

Chemical processing during dyeing and bleaching causes irreversible degradation of hair proteins. Preventing this structural failure maintains fiber integrity and tactile quality during harsh treatments.
