Amodimethicone

Amodimethicone (CAS 68554-54-1) is an amino-functional silicone polymer for personal care and industrial textile applications.

Where is Amodimethicone used?

• Hair care: deposits on chemically treated or porous hair, rebuilding smoothness and reducing friction at the fiber surface in shampoos, conditioners and leave-in treatments
• Textile finishing: soft hand feel and fiber lubricity without compromising breathability
• Leather processing: surface conditioning that enhances suppleness and uniformity of the finish
• Paper treatment: film-forming behavior improves surface slip and release properties in specialty coatings
• Its amine groups bond selectively to damaged or negatively charged surfaces.

Good to know: Standard grades meet COSMOS or ISO 16128 compliance requirements; technical grades serve textile and industrial end uses.
