• Hand Sanitizers The Suga®Quat Series demonstrates very unique properties when compared to
traditional cationic conditioning agents. Most notable is the significant reduction
• Relaxers in eye irritation versus traditional quats as well as no skin irritation at all in our
• Shower Gels testing.
The Suga®Quat Series are very compatible in anionic shampoo formulations
making them an ideal choice for 2 in 1 shampoos. The Suga®Quat Series do not
inhibit from the foam of the shampoo and in fact contribute to foaming properties.
Useful over a broad pH range, Suga®Quat Series are stable in all types of personal
care formulations.
Some of the Suga®Quat Series have excellent microbial activity. This could make
Suga®Quat products useful in preservative free and reduced preservative personal-
care formulations.
Suga®Quats are light color, low odor and easy to use in a variety of personal care
formulations.
If you are looking for natural, renewable resource derived conditioning agents, the
Suga®Quat Series is where you need to look. If your formulations demands milder
ingredients the Suga®Quat Series of products is where you need to look.

 toxicological properties
Eye
The evaluation of Suga®Quats as an eye irritant was performed using the chorioallantoic membrane technique. This test
utilizes the inner membrane of a hen’s egg to gauge the irritation potential of a compound by visual observation of injurious
changes in the membrane. Suga®Quat S-1210 was rated to be milder than a leading brand of baby shampoo.
Skin
A study was performed adhering to ICH Guideline E6 and 21 CFR parts 50 and 56. Fifty-seven (57) volunteers, males
and females, ranging in age from 16 to 76 were subjected to a patch test. A 1″ by 1″ absorbent pad was moistened with
0.2 ml of liquid and applied to the backs of the subjects between the scapulae. The patch sites were inspected at 48 hours
for gross changes. It was observed that there was a complete absence of skin change. The test sites were evaluated again
at 72 hours. Once again the observation was negative skin changes. Under the condition of this test, the test materials,
Colonial Suga®Quats, did not indicate a potential for dermal irritation.

antimicrobial properties
A study was done to compare the performance of several of the Suga®Quat products against strains of bacteria, yeast
and mold. This study by an outside microbiological laboratory is shown below.

Suga®Quat S-1210 and S-1218 were seen to have broad-spectrum killing properties in this study; this makes these
products useful in self preserved and preservative free system for personal care. Our own testing continues in this
unique application area for validation of Suga®Quats in preservative free systems. We suggest any use of Suga®Quats
in such applications be challenge tested for verification.

Suga®Quats ZONE INHIBITION STUDY – PROJECT #60720

8/2/06
BIO-CONTROL CONSULTANTS, INC.• 43 MOHICAN DRIVE • WESTFIELD, NJ 07090
PURPOSE: To determine the antimicrobial capability of two (2) Suga®Quat (alkyl polyglucoside) variations utilizing the zone
inhibition technique. The test materials were evaluated for gross antimicrobial activity against a series of three (3) test organisms:
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Gram negative bacteria); Candida albicans (yeast) and Aspergillus niger (mold). Results of the assays are
presented below.

TEST SAMPLES:

1) Suga®Quat S-1210 13678D06 (2.0% and 1.0% concentrations).

2) Suga®Quat S-1218 RJC-02-081 (2.0% and 1.0% concentrations).

COMBINED ACTIVITY SUMMARY

SCORING: 1 = Excellent; 2 = Very Good; 3 = Good; 4 = OK (moderate); 6 = Poor; 8 = No Activity

TEST SAMPLE Psa Ca An Score Comments

1. Suga®Quat S-1210 1 2 3 10 Excellent Psa; V Good Yeast; Good Mold

2. Suga®Quat S-1218 1 1 2 7 Excellent Activity

Note: The lower the score, the greater the activity.

COMMENTS

• Suga®Quat S-1218 demonstrated very good antimicrobial activity against all three of the test organisms employed. This
material compares favorably to the general antimicrobial profile of a commercial product known for antimicrobial activity at both the
1.0% and 2.0% concentrations.

• Both Suga®Quat S-1210 and Suga®Quat S-1218 demonstrated excellent activity at the 2.0% level, however, significant
differences were observed with yeast and fungal activity at the lower concentration.

• Overall, the Suga®Quats look very promising providing that the use concentration is maintained at a high enough level. This
should not present an issue since the normal recommended formula use recommendation above a 2.0% concentration.
