Organosilicon polymer film network: HenkelRecent Research Landscape

Standard keratin dyes suffer from poor wash fastness and uneven pigment distribution on hair fibers. This technology engineers a durable surface coating using organosilicon compounds and film-forming polymers to lock effect pigments onto the keratinous substrate.

What technical problems is Henkel addressing in Organosilicon polymer film network?

Poor color wash fastness

(22)evidences

Keratinous fibers suffer from rapid color loss and pigment detachment during repeated washing cycles. Improving adhesion durability ensures long-lasting aesthetic results without frequent reapplication.

Poor pigment wash fastness

(8)evidences

Pigment-based hair colorants suffer from rapid degradation and removal during standard washing cycles. Enhancing the durability of the color attachment prevents premature fading and maintains aesthetic longevity.

Poor pigment adhesion durability

(5)evidences

Keratinous surfaces suffer from inadequate retention of coloring agents and effect pigments. Enhancing the mechanical stability and wash-fastness of the coating prevents premature fading and uneven color distribution.
