Evonik is promoting ABIL Care XL 80, a novel silicone based oil-in-water emulsfier; and ABIL T Quat 60, a premium silicone conditioning agent. ABIL Care XL 80 provides a notable combination of performance and aesthetics.
Formulations based on this new emulsifier feel very velvety and silky and have a light, smooth after-feel on the skin. In addition, its innovative molecular architecture results in outstanding emulsifying and stabilising properties. Creams, lotions and sprays containing all types of active ingredients or UV filters can easily be formulated with ABIL Care XL 80. It is suitable for both hot and cold processing and is a flexible and powerful tool for developing skin care emulsions with premium characteristics. The new ABIL T Quat 60 is a premium silicone conditioning agent with excellent substantivity to hair keratine, outstanding conditioning features and impressive heat protection properties for universal use in conditioning shampoos, hair rinses, balms, body washes and leave-in formulations. ABIL T Quat 60 is highly suitable for clear formulations. In surfactant formulations, it shows a significantly reduced thinning effect compared to standard silicone derivatives, provides a superior skin feel and improves foam properties.
