One Step Energy-Saving Manufacturing Process

The synthesis of ProCondition™ Sativa employs a novel one-step transamidation instead of the traditional amidoamine multi-step process. This saves energy in manufacture estimated to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 642 MB for every 1300 MT amidoamine produced.

ProCondition™ Sativa is an amidoamine with a predominantly C18 fatty acyl composition.

Fatty Acyl Composition
0 - 9% Palmitoyl (C16)
89 - 100% Stearoyl (C18)
0 - 3% Oleoyl + Linoleoyl + Linolenoyl (C18:1 - 18:3)

The amine functionality is cationically charged below pH 6.5. The cationic group binds to anionically charged hair fibers. The C18 tail group provides lubricity and conditioning benefits.

In emulsions, ProCondition™ Sativa forms lamellar liquid crystals (LLCs) when combined with fatty alcohol. These structures can stabilize high oil loads and provide a soft, powdery and non-greasy feel.
