Laurdimonium hydroxypropyl hydrolyzed wheat protein

Laurdimonium hydroxypropyl hydrolyzed wheat protein (CAS 130381-06-5), also referred to commercially as Laurdimonium hydroxypropyl hydrolyzed wheat, is a cationic conditioning agent derived from wheat protein hydrolysate.

It is modified with a quaternary ammonium group to combine substantivity to negatively charged surfaces with moisturizing peptide functionality. This makes it a practical ingredient for hair and skin conditioning systems.

In rinse-off and leave-in hair care formulations, it deposits on damaged or chemically treated hair to improve combability and reduce static. It helps restore a smooth surface feel in shampoos and conditioners.

Protein treatment masks use it to deliver both immediate conditioning and longer-term moisture retention through the peptide fraction. In textile processing, it functions as a fiber softener and antistatic agent.

Home care and industrial cleaning formulations can incorporate it where surface wetting and mild conditioning of treated substrates are required. It is often used alongside detergency in these applications.

Supplied as a liquid solution, typically in aqueous form at varying active concentrations, it is suited for direct incorporation. Cosmetic-grade material is the standard commercial specification.

This material is aligned with personal care industry requirements for high-performance additives. Buyers should confirm active content and hydrolyzed protein molecular weight range with their chemical suppliers.

These specific parameters directly affect conditioning performance and formulation stability. Proper documentation ensures the ingredient meets the necessary standards for professional manufacturing and distribution.
