Abstract:
A silicone composition having the formula (I) wherein R 1 are independently selected from the group consisting of: an alkyl having 1-5 carbon atoms, a substituted alkyl having 1-5 carbon atoms optionally substituted by one or more fluorine atoms, and a phenyl, and R 2 is selected from the group consisting of: hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 45 carbon atoms, substituted alkyl of 1 to 45 carbon atoms optionally substituted by one or more fluorine atoms, aryl, a partially esterified ester-containing group represented by the formula (II) and a reverse ester thereof represented by the formula (III) and the formula (IV), and a reverse ester thereof represented by the formula (V) provided that if R 1 is anything but methyl or ethyl, then R 2 must be a methyl, ethyl or butyl.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a series of alkyl quaternium silicone compounds having both alkyl groups and fatty quaternary nitrogen groups attached in one molecule, and the intermediates formed during the production thereof, that are suitable for use in personal care and other applications. These compounds by virtue of their unique structure provide outstanding micro-emulsions and provide outstanding hair conditioning. The compounds of the present invention are represented by Formula: (I); wherein, a is an integer ranging from O to 200: b is an integer ranging from 1 to 40; c is an integer ranging from 1 to 40; n is an integer ranging from 1 to 50; x is an integer ranging from 0 to 21; and R is Formula: (II); or R is Formula: (III).
