Organosilicon hydroxycarboxylic ester complex: HenkelRecent Research Landscape

Pigment washout and fiber damage during keratin coloring lead to poor color longevity and texture degradation. These innovations utilize organosilicon-based sealing and alkaline pre-treatment to chemically lock pigments into the hair structure.

What technical problems is Henkel addressing in Organosilicon hydroxycarboxylic ester complex?

Poor dye wash fastness

(15)evidences

Keratinous fibers suffer from rapid pigment loss and insufficient dye adhesion during repeated washing. Enhancing the durability of the color attachment prevents premature fading and maintains aesthetic integrity.

Poor dye wash fastness

(13)evidences

Pigment-based colorants suffer from insufficient adhesion and rapid loss during washing cycles. Enhancing durability ensures long-lasting aesthetic results and reduces the frequency of re-application.

Poor hair dye washfastness

(6)evidences

Conventional coloring processes suffer from poor pigment retention and rapid fading during thermal exposure. Improving color fastness and structural integrity during heat treatment prevents premature pigment leaching.
