TRIS-HEA IPDI ISOCYANURATE TRIMER
Description
TRIS-HEA IPDI Isocyanurate Trimer is a specialized polymer used in advanced skincare formulations. This synthetic ingredient is derived from the reaction of tris(hydroxyethyl)amine (TRIS-HEA) with isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) isocyanurate trimer. Its unique chemical structure provides excellent film-forming properties, making it valuable in various cosmetic applications.
The compound offers superior water resistance and durability, enhancing the longevity of skincare products on the skin's surface. It forms a flexible, breathable barrier that helps protect against environmental stressors while allowing natural skin functions to occur. TRIS-HEA IPDI Isocyanurate Trimer is particularly effective in sunscreen formulations, where it aids in creating uniform, stable films that improve UV protection efficacy.
This ingredient also demonstrates compatibility with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients, facilitating its incorporation into diverse product types. Its low irritation potential makes it suitable for sensitive skin formulations. However, as with any synthetic polymer, patch testing is recommended for individuals with known sensitivities. The use of TRIS-HEA IPDI Isocyanurate Trimer in skincare products is subject to regulatory guidelines, and its concentration is typically limited to ensure product safety and efficacy.
