Reductive keratin fiber decolorizing agents: HenkelRecent Research Landscape
Residual dyes in industrial wastewater or recycled textiles prevent material reuse and increase processing costs. These innovations employ specific reductive chemical pathways to break chromophore structures for efficient color elimination.
What technical problems is Henkel addressing in Reductive keratin fiber decolorizing agents?
Oxidative fiber structural damage
(7)evidences
Chemical treatments for color modification cause structural degradation and loss of hair integrity. Minimizing this degradation preserves fiber quality and improves application safety.
Incomplete artificial pigment removal
(6)evidences
Standard cleansing fails to remove organosilicon-based pigments and oxidative dyes from the hair shaft. Eliminating these residues allows for corrective color services without damaging the keratin structure.
Insufficient color intensity and durability
(4)evidences
Inadequate pigment formation and poor wash fastness in keratin fibers. Enhancing these factors ensures vibrant long-lasting results and prevents premature fading.
Oxidative hair fiber damage
(3)evidences
Melanin and artificial pigments resist degradation during chemical processing. Achieving high lift while maintaining fiber integrity is a significant performance bottleneck.
