Transfar PKO-S Empowers Next-Level Personal Care Product Innovation

In an era of consumption upgrades, gentleness, smoothness, anti-static performance, and advanced repair benefits have become key competitive advantages for premium hair care products.

Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine (PKO-S) is a functional hair care additive meticulously developed by Transfar Chemical. Featuring outstanding advantages including high stability, excellent compatibility, low irritation, and cost efficiency, PKO-S has become a preferred ingredient for formulation upgrades in shampoos, conditioners, hair masks, oil treatments, and hair coloring products. It helps brands create differentiated, high-quality hair care solutions with enhanced performance and user experience.

Superior Ingredient Quality for More Stable Formulations

Transfar PKO-S is a premium amide-based tertiary amine conditioning agent manufactured through stringent production processes. With high purity, low impurity levels, and excellent batch-to-batch consistency, it ensures precise control of key physicochemical parameters and effectively prevents formulation issues such as separation, discoloration, and performance degradation.

Featuring both cationic and non-ionic characteristics, PKO-S demonstrates excellent compatibility with a wide range of personal care formulation systems and blends well with various surfactants without antagonistic effects, ensuring enhanced formulation stability.

In addition, PKO-S is produced using plant-derived raw materials, offering good biodegradability and a greener, low-toxicity profile, aligning with the growing industry trends toward safe hair care and sustainable beauty solutions.

Four Core Benefits to Address Key Hair Care Challenges

Exceptional Smoothness and Easy Combability

PKO-S quickly forms a lubricating protective film on the hair surface, significantly reducing friction and improving manageability. It effectively helps address dryness, roughness, and damage caused by heat styling, perming, and coloring, delivering smoothness on both wet and dry hair with effortless combing and reduced tangling.

Long-Lasting Anti-Static Performance and Flyaway Control

PKO-S efficiently neutralizes static electricity on hair fibers and helps prevent frizz, flyaways, and unruly hair caused by dry environments, seasonal changes, and blow-drying. It provides long-lasting smoothness and creates a sleek, naturally flowing hair texture.

Gentle, Low-Irritation Performance for Enhanced Safety

Backed by strict safety evaluations, PKO-S offers a mild and low-irritation profile with minimal residue. It is suitable for sensitive scalps, fragile hair, and chemically treated hair, balancing effective repair performance with gentle conditioning care.

Formula Stabilization + Thickening and Performance Enhancement

PKO-S provides multiple functions including emulsification, thickening, and stabilization. It helps maintain product texture and consistency while reducing phase separation and viscosity changes under different temperature conditions.

It is also suitable for hair coloring formulations, supporting uniform color application while providing smooth conditioning benefits.

Easy Application and High Compatibility for Cost-Effective Formulation Optimization

With a simple and convenient production process, PKO-S can be dissolved and incorporated at 70–80°C, and can be flexibly formulated within citrate-based systems, significantly reducing formulation development and production adjustment complexity.

Thanks to its low dosage and high performance, PKO-S delivers multiple hair care benefits while optimizing formulation costs:

• Shampoos: recommended addition level of 0.2%–0.4% 

• Conditioners and hair treatment products: recommended addition level of 0.5%–2% 

Stearamidopropyl dimethylamine PKO-S is widely compatible with various personal care products, including hair care sprays, conditioners, hair masks, functional shampoos, and hair coloring products.
