Network formation
Microfibrils form a large number of contact points and create continuous low-cut structures.
Formulation with NatFibra® fiber
NatFibra® CC Mo
NatFibra® fiber forms a continuous three-dimensional network in the liquid phase, providing water holding, dispersion and structural support for the care of the hair.

01Product Overview
Structure material
Fermentation-derived NatFibra® fibers for conditioning hair-care systems
NatFibra® CC Mo is structured on the basis of NatFibra® fiber and is used for the development of conditioners, hair mask and other modems for hair protection.
Microfibrils are interwoven after the liquid phase, providing structural support for aqueous case, oil case and insoluble dispersible phase. Actual performance is influenced by an anion-modifier, oil case, surfactant, electrolyte, pH, cut condition and order of addition.
02Material structure
NatFibra® fiber micro-organism, cellulose chains and β-1,4 glycosidic bond.
NatFibra® fiber
high-aspect-ratio microfibrils constitute a continuous network
The cellulose is connected by glucose units through β-1,4 glycosidic bond. NatFibra® fiber is further assembled into nanoscale microfibrils and microfibrils structures.
The fibre diameter of 20-40 nm and the length of the micrometer class has led to the formation of microfibrils as more points of contact in aqueous case and to the gradual formation of a continuous three-dimensional network.

Structural support at rest and under low shear
NatFibra® fiber is interwoven in the liquid phase, limiting the movement of fine particles and droplets and providing continuous structure for the management of the anion, oil case and other nursing groups.
Dispersion support
Mitigation of deposition or upswing of particles, oil droplets and other dispersed phase.
Formulation validation
The state of the structure is confirmed through the test of yield condition, touch recovery and storage.
04Water holding
Water and cellulose network
Hydroxyl groups, hydrogen bonding and microfibril pores influence water distribution
The cellulose chain contains a large quantity of hydroxyl radicals that form hydrogen keys with water molecules. The pore and continuous network between microfibrils further limits water migration.
98%Highest water holding rate in the water holding evaluation of listed materials
This value corresponds to the test condition for the material and is not equivalent to the wetting efficiency indicator for the product. The performance of the finished product needs to be determined in combination with additions, adjustment systems, washing processes and beam testing.
05Fragmentation and suspension
Low shear structure
Suspended performance needs to be fully evaluated
The microfibrils network can limit the transport of fine particles and droplets and keep them more evenly distributed. The effect is derived mainly from low shearing structures and should not be judged solely by high-rotation viscosity.
- Observe stratification or deposition following static, centrifugal and cold thermal cycles;
- To measure viscosity at different cut rates with yield speed;
- Confirm the structural recovery after the cut has stopped;
- Record changes in the particle size, density and surface properties of the dispersed phase.
06Pickering Dairy
Soybean oil model system
Emulsion appearance at different NatFibra levels
NatFibra® fiber of high-spect-rate-rate can be distributed over the oil-water area and, together with the three-dimensional network in aqueous case, limit the migration of oil droplets.
>10%
The soybeans model system labels the sample of NatFibra with a content above 10% as stable emulsion. The figure does not indicate the oil water ratio, sampling process, storage temperature and observation time, and therefore cannot be recommended as an addition to hair protection.
