Ashland brings an enduring dimension to hair repair and conditioning with the introduction of N-DurHance™ A-1000 conditioning polymer. Based on acrylate chemistry, the all-new polymer serves to restore hair typically damaged by certain cleansing regimens, treatments and heat styling back to the look of virgin hair.
Providing a conduit for in situ controlled flocculation (ISCF™), N-DurHance A-1000 conditioning polymer returns damaged hair strands with hydrophilic properties back to a state of hydrophobicity. Excess positive charges emanating from the polymer will control in situ post flocculation on hair from the arrival of surfactants and conditioning agents, lending hydrophobicity to hair in a way that is both efficient and comprehensive.
N-DurHance A-1000 conditioning polymer is a preservative-free aqueous solution of a highly charged cationic homopolymer of (3-Acrylamidopropyl) trimethylammonium chloride. It has been developed especially for use as a substantive and durable conditioning polymer for hair. It is supplied as an easily processable, ready to use 20% aqueous solution that requires no heating or pH adjustments. It is compatible with a wide range of cationic and nonionic surfactants and some anionic surfactants.
Healthy virgin hair has a hydrophobic surface and is most often described as smooth, shiny and silky. Restoring hydrophilic damaged hair from dull-looking back to same hydrophobicity as virgin hair will significantly help to renew the hair look and feel.
In tests with various silicone-free (non-conditioning) shampoo, conditioner formulations containing 1% N-DurHance A-1000 conditioning polymer, improved the hydrophobicity of bleached hair to levels virtually the same as virgin hair.
Manufacturers of rinse-off and leave-on conditioner systems now have new choices - enduring choices - to help consumers revitalize and restore their hair to the look and feel of virgin hair. N-DurHance A-1000 conditioning polymer offers consumer-perceivable hair repair and conditioning effects that last longer and perform better than silicone alone. In formulations containing silicone (or other conditioning ingredients), the polymer works by in situ controlled flocculation (ISCF™) to post entrap the conditioning ingredients from any shampoo used.
Moreover, the benefits of N-DurHance A-1000 conditioning polymer actually improve over the course of 5 rinse-off cycles when used at 0.5% in test formulations. In contrast, no silicone-containing test formulations showed any improvement with continued use.

N-DurHance A-1000 conditioning polymer is enduring in both form and function. When used in rinse-off conditioning formulations with or without silicone conditioning technology, wet comb performance is outstanding. Wet comb energy tests on bleached hair demonstrate how the polymer chemistry contributes to both the look and behavior of hydrophobic virgin hair.
Moreover, N-DurHance A-1000 conditioning polymer may be used on its own to achieve hair repair and conditioning effects in ways that is not possible with commercially available silicone compounds.
The polymer technology with optimized charge characteristics may be used in a range of formulation types to achieve nearly the same hydrophobic properties as healthy virgin hair, without build-up.
