BIS-HEA POLY(GLYCOL/1,4-BUTANEDIOL ADIPATE)/IPDI COPOLYMER

Description

BIS-HEA Poly(Glycol/1,4-Butanediol Adipate)/IPDI Copolymer is a synthetic polymer used in advanced haircare formulations. This innovative ingredient functions as a film-forming agent, providing a protective barrier on hair strands. Its unique molecular structure allows for enhanced durability and flexibility, making it particularly effective in leave-in treatments and styling products.

The copolymer's composition includes a combination of bis-hydroxyethyl acrylate (BIS-HEA), polyglycol, 1,4-butanediol adipate, and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI). This blend results in a polymer with excellent adhesion properties and resistance to water and humidity. When applied to hair, it forms a thin, imperceptible film that helps to smooth the cuticle, reduce frizz, and improve overall manageability.

Key benefits of BIS-HEA Poly(Glycol/1,4-Butanediol Adipate)/IPDI Copolymer include long-lasting hold, enhanced shine, and protection against environmental stressors. It is compatible with a wide range of haircare ingredients, making it versatile for use in various product types, including serums, creams, and sprays. The polymer's non-greasy feel and ability to disperse evenly contribute to its popularity in high-performance hair styling formulations.
