SoftCAT™ Polymer SX-1300X

A versatile conditioning solution

As part of a high-performance portfolio, SoftCAT™ SX-1300X conditioning polymer is recommended for strong to extra-strong conditioning formulations and for hair types that need extra conditioning such as extremely curly and frizzy types. In some formulations, it outperforms cationic guar in deposition of actives such as silicones. It is recommended for use in shampoos with or without silicones.

SoftCAT™ Polymers are based on a cellulosic backbone derived from natural renewable wood and/or cotton sources.

SoftCAT™ conditioning polymers make it possible to deliver active ingredients that rinse off easily and evenly, leaving hair soft, smooth and ready to style. The range of Dow conditioning polymers can help customers meet all performance and cost targets, from light to intense conditioning, and low-budget to extravagant haircare options.
