Silico®-N323 Dual-Amino Silicone Fluids
Silico®-N323 is a dual-amino silicone oil with self-crosslinking ability, forming durable films or elastomers. It offers excellent film formation and adsorption. With a molecular structure containing methoxy or alkoxy groups and aminoalkyl groups, it bonds strongly to hair and fibers (cotton, wool, silk, linen), creating a protective layer that enhances softness, gloss, and durability, with superior abrasion, bending, and wash resistance compared to Silico®-N322.
Introduction
Silico®-N323 is a dual-amino silicone oil with self-crosslinking ability, forming durable films or elastomers. It offers excellent film formation and adsorption properties. Its molecular structure is:
R₁R₂(CH₃)SiO[(CH₃)₂SiO]ₘ[(R₃)(CH₃)SiO]ₙSi(CH₃)R₁R₂
R₁R₂: Methoxy or alkoxy groups
R₃: Aminoalkyl group containing primary and secondary amines
Silico®-N323 provides superior bonding to hair and fibers (cotton, wool, silk, linen), forming a strong protective layer that enhances softness, smoothness, gloss, and durability. It offers improved abrasion, bending, and wash resistance compared to Silico®-N322, with stronger self-crosslinking properties.
