Disulfide azomethine chromophore crosslinking: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Inconsistent pigment penetration and fiber damage during bleaching lead to poor color fastness and hair degradation. This cluster controls the chemical stoichiometry and pH of oxidative agents to ensure uniform color deposition while maintaining structural integrity.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Disulfide azomethine chromophore crosslinking?

Hair fiber structural degradation

(4)evidences

Chemical straightening processes typically cause permanent structural degradation and loss of tensile strength. Mitigating this damage preserves hair integrity while achieving desired shape modification.

Poor colorant wash fastness

(1)evidences

Chemical degradation and poor wash fastness lead to rapid fading of treated hair. Enhancing color retention and structural integrity prevents premature pigment loss.
