Sensomer™ CI-50 Conditioning Polymer

Sensomer™ CI-50 polymer is developed with naturally derived polysaccharide to supply superior conditioning properties and unique benefits to hair and skin care formulations. Sensomer CI-50 polymer (INCI name starch hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride) is a liquid derived from food-grade potato starch that is simple to use.

Comprised of approximately 30 percent solids and containing a cationic charge, Sensomer CI-50 polymer has a molecular weight of 2000000 and is preserved with food grade sodium benzoate.

Sensomer CI-50 polymer is easily incorporated into clear formulations. Heating, pH adjustment or neutralization is not required, offering cost savings in formulation time and energy requirements. It is compatible with a variety of surfactants and maintains good clarity. Sensomer CI-50 polymer can be thickened with salt, and can accommodate almost any order of addition with temperature less than 40°C (104°F).
