Description
VARISOFT® EQ 65 Pellets is an ester quat based on high purity stearic acid and is compounded with cetearyl alcohol. It is a readily biodegradable conditioning agent with a high flash point. VARISOFT® EQ 65 pellets improves the conditioning properties of the wet and dry hair, and can also act as an emulsifier providing a sensory profile typical of cationic emulsions.
Conditioners including VARISOFT® EQ 65 MB Pellets have a very rich and creamy appearance. In a cream rinse treatment, this ester quat showed an excellent rinsability and was more easily rinsed out of hair when compared to Behentrimonium Chloride (VARISOFT® BT 85 Pellets), a high-performance conditioning agent.
This product can be dispersed in water at approximately 75°C. The addition of nonionic emulsifiers such as Ceteareth-25 would improve the processability of this product in water.
