ABIL ME 45 suitable for broad range of applications


Evonik, a successful manufacturer of organomodified silicones, has developed ABIL® ME 45, a new patent-protected multiple benefit silicone microemulsion. This PEG- and preservative-free product provides excellent and intensive conditioning, which leads to extraordinary manageability and smoothness of hair.

Furthermore, ABIL® ME 45 significantly improves the wash fastness of dyed hair and shows outstanding heat protecting properties. Even at low dosage ABIL® ME 45 achieves a high level of performance.

Delivered as a microemulsion, the hydrophobic silicone quat is very easy to process. The low viscous liquid can be added to the formulations just by simple stirring. The microemulsion is very stable and keeps its color appearance over time and in the presence of perfumes. In addition, the very homogeneous distribution of the silicone quat in the microemulsion offers a significant competitive advantage in the final formulations, enabling for example brilliantly clear shampoo formulations and reducing the risk of build–up effects on hair fibres.

ABIL® ME 45 is suitable for a broad range of applications in the hair care market, including hair conditioning rinses, conditioning shampoos, leave-in conditioners, hair & body shampoos, styling products and hair dyes. With ABIL® ME 45, Evonik presents a premium easy-to-process, multiple benefit silicone conditioning agent, that efficiently maintains and regenerates the healthy look and soft feel of hair.
