W5-PG (Silanized Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein) – Advanced Hair and Skin Repair Agent
Introduction
W5-PG is a high-performance silanized hydrolyzed wheat protein, synthesized by reacting hydrolyzed wheat protein with 3-glycidyloxypropylmethyldiethoxysilane. This innovative modification combines the natural benefits of wheat protein peptides with the superior film-forming properties of silane compounds, resulting in a multifunctional ingredient that enhances hair and skin conditioning. W5-PG is designed to repair damaged hair, improve moisture retention, and boost shine while ensuring compatibility with a wide range of cosmetic formulations.

Key Features and Benefits
1, Deep Repair and Protection
W5-PG effectively replenishes lost proteins and lipids in damaged hair, repairing split ends and restoring hair strength. Its unique silane structure forms a flexible, smooth film on the hair shaft, protecting against heat styling and environmental stressors.
2, Enhanced Moisturization
The hydrolyzed wheat protein peptides provide exceptional humectant properties, significantly increasing hair and skin hydration levels. This makes W5-PG ideal for dry, frizzy, or chemically treated hair.
3, Improved Shine and Manageability
The silanization process enhances the reflective properties of the hair cuticle, delivering instant shine and smoother texture. It also reduces tangling, improving combability and reducing breakage.
4, Formulation Versatility
Compatible with anionic, cationic, and amphoteric systems, W5-PG is suitable for transparent and opaque products, including shampoos, conditioners, leave-in treatments, and skin care lotions. Its stable water solubility ensures easy incorporation into wash-off and rinse-off formulations.
