Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine

MACKINE® 301U is an amido amine that provides excellent conditioning and combability properties in hair conditioning applications. It can be neutralized with a variety of acids such as citric acid or lactic acid to form a cationic amine salt. The major advantage that amine salts offer over quaternary ammonium compounds is that they have lower environmental impact. MACKINE® 301U requires less water than traditional quats to dilute to a concentration with no foreseeable impact on aquatic species, making it a sustainable, conditioning choice. It is also rinsed more easily from the hair, thus reducing the possibility of buildup and increasing volume.

MACKINE® 301U MB is an amido amine that provides excellent conditioning and combability properties in hair conditioning applications. It can be neutralized with a variety of acids such as citric acid or lactic acid to form a cationic amine salt. It is produced from a high purity, vegetable derived grade of stearic acid with a minimum of 90% C-18 content. The major advantage that amine salts offer over quaternary ammonium compounds is that they have lower environmental impact. MACKINE® 301U MB requires less water than traditional quats to dilute to a concentration with no foreseeable impact on aquatic species, making it a sustainable, conditioning choice. It is also rinsed more easily from the hair, thus reducing the possibility of buildup and increasing volume. When blended with the proper co-emulsifier, e.g. cetyl alcohol, PEG 400 distearate, both pearly or opaque type conditioners can be developed.
