TRIETHYLAMMONIUM DMPA/IPDI COPOLYMER

Description

Triethylammonium DMPA/IPDI Copolymer is a synthetic polymer utilized in advanced haircare formulations. This innovative ingredient functions as a film-forming agent, providing essential benefits for hair styling and protection. The copolymer is composed of triethylammonium, dimethylolpropionic acid (DMPA), and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) units, resulting in a unique molecular structure.

This copolymer excels in creating a flexible, yet durable film on hair strands, enhancing manageability and style retention. It offers excellent humidity resistance, helping to maintain hairstyles in various environmental conditions. The ingredient also contributes to improved hair texture, imparting a smooth feel without excessive build-up or stiffness.

Triethylammonium DMPA/IPDI Copolymer is particularly effective in leave-in treatments, styling gels, and hairsprays. It aids in reducing frizz and flyaways while providing a natural-looking hold. The copolymer is compatible with a wide range of other haircare ingredients, allowing for versatile formulation options. Its water-soluble nature ensures easy removal during washing, preventing long-term accumulation on the hair and scalp.
