Organosilicon pigment dissociation agents: HenkelRecent Research Landscape

Standard bleaching agents fail to remove persistent organosilicon-based colorants, leading to fiber damage from over-processing. These methods utilize specific chemical triggers to selectively decouple the organosilicon-pigment network from keratin surfaces.

What technical problems is Henkel addressing in Organosilicon pigment dissociation agents?

Persistent artificial hair pigmentation

(3)evidences

Permanent coloration from organosilicon-pigment complexes resists standard removal methods. Overcoming this binding allows for non-destructive color correction and hair re-styling.

Incomplete artificial pigment removal

(2)evidences

Artificial pigments bond strongly to keratin structures making them difficult to extract without damaging the fiber. Removing these pigments effectively allows for safe color correction or complete restoration of the natural substrate.
