BIS(GLYCERYL DIMETHACRYLATE) PYROMELLITATE

Description

BIS(GLYCERYL DIMETHACRYLATE) PYROMELLITATE is a synthetic polymer used in advanced haircare formulations. This multifunctional ingredient acts as a film-forming agent and conditioning polymer, providing both protective and aesthetic benefits to hair products.

The compound is formed through the reaction of glyceryl dimethacrylate with pyromellitic dianhydride, resulting in a unique molecular structure that allows it to form a flexible, resilient film on the hair shaft. This film helps to smooth the cuticle, reduce frizz, and enhance shine while providing a protective barrier against environmental stressors.

In hair care products, BIS(GLYCERYL DIMETHACRYLATE) PYROMELLITATE is particularly effective in leave-in treatments, serums, and styling products. It offers excellent humidity resistance, helping to maintain hairstyles in various climatic conditions. The ingredient also contributes to improved manageability and easier detangling of hair.

Its film-forming properties make it suitable for use in color-protection formulations, as it helps to seal the hair cuticle and prevent color fade. Additionally, the polymer can enhance the overall performance of other conditioning agents in the formulation, leading to superior hair feel and appearance.
