Silsoft * Q and Silsoft Q NP cationic silicone terpolymers Product Description Silsoft Q and Silsoft Q NP cationic silicone terpolymers are non-yellowing, 2% active, microemulsion of a patented quaternized silicone terpolymer ( silicone quat ) that can help deliver a unique dry softness and volume to hair. Silsoft Q and Silsoft Q NP cationic silicone terpolymers unique phase behavior with water relates to excellent lubricity in wet combing and unique softening performance benefits. They are very versatile candidate to consider for a broad range of hair care applications. Silsoft Q and Silsoft Q NP silicone quats also demonstrated unique sensory attributes in shower and bath products by modifying lather properties and providing a differentiated after-wash skin feel. Silsoft Q and Silsoft Q NP cationic silicone terpolymers are the same product, with different preservation systems. Throughout this document, all information applies to both products.

Generic Structure of Silsoft Q cationic silicone terpolymer Block Copolymers Quat-Groups Polyethers Silicone Quat Density Polyether Blocks Polydimethylsiloxane Blocks Orientation of Linear Block Copolymers QUAT or POLYETHER HAIR Surface Affinity, Antistatic Hydrophilicity, Antistatic, Formulatibility Lubricity, Spreading SILICONE Linear structures are favored for their sensory benefits. The cationic quaternary ammonium is substantive to keratinaceous substrates, such as hair, forming a soft, flexible film with no build-up. The silicone aligns itself along the hair shaft to help provide a smooth, healthy-looking shine and a dry, soft feel to hair. Its unique affinity with water allows the polymer to spread very well during rinse in contrast to silicone gum. This confers a very high lubricity in wet combing and unique softness feel triggered by fingertip moisture. Silicone Quaternium-18 Silicone Gum (dimethiconol/dimethicone) Performance from a Conditioner Formulation Wet Combing Performance Reducing damage to the hair shaft during wet combing is important to maintain the appearance of smooth, healthy-looking hair that shines. The conditioning benefits of Silsoft Q cationic silicone terpolymer were evaluated by comparing the conditioning formulation containing Silsoft Q cationic silicone terpolymer at 1% active silicone content versus a commercial benchmark formulation. The Simple Conditioner control formulation contained no silicone.

Performance from a Conditioner Formulation (continued) Dry Combing Performance Silsoft Q silicone quat was formulated into the conditioning base described above at 1.4% active and compared against amodimethicone. Dry combing force was determined using virgin Caucasian hair tresses with a Diastron apparatus in a humidity controlled chamber at 5% RH. Reduction of combing force was calculated with respect to the combing force of the baseline tresses washed with 1% SLES solution. Reduction of combing force was also compared to commercial benchmark conditioner. The Ultra peak force correlated with a remarkable soft feel at the hair tips. Performance from a Shampoo Formulation Silsoft Q silicone quat was also formulated into a conditioning shampoo at 1.% active and compared against a set of control tresses treated with the same conditioning shampoo formulation, minus the silicone.

Performance from a Shampoo Formulation (continued) Improved Dry Sensory It was observed during a preliminary study that the hair tresses treated with Silsoft Q cationic silicone terpolymer were remarkably softer than the control tresses. A sensory panel evaluated the dried tresses from a study that evaluated the resulting softness through extreme delivery systems, such as hair coloring. Results were analyzed on a scale of 1-8, with 8 being the softest.

Fragrance Longevity Dry Skin Feel-Residue Product Consistency 1 8 6 4 2 Lather Amount Lather Creaminess Shower and Bath Since Silsoft Q cationic silicone terpolymer has a quaternary functional substitution, its positive charge is able to interact with surfaces that are negatively charged, such as skin and hair. This attribute establishes Silsoft Q silicone quat as an excellent candidate to consider for shower and bath products. It can improve the creaminess of lather and deliver a luxurious after-wash skin feel. Dry Skin Feel-Soft Rinse Properties Control Silsoft Q cationic silicone terpolymer Used in a shower gel, Silsoft Q cationic silicone terpolymer can help deliver a profusion of lather with a creamier texture than the control, with a quicker rinse off. Silsoft Q cationic silicone terpolymer can also help provide a differentiated after-wash experience that leaves skin with a soft dry feel. P. 4 Momentive Performance Materials
