Description

Imidazolium, 3-Methyl-1-Vinyl-, Methyl Sulfate, Polymer With Butyl Acrylate And Styrene is a specialized cationic polymer derived from vinylimidazolium chemistry, offering unique surface-active and film-forming properties. This copolymer is engineered to provide exceptional performance as a modifier, dispersant, or conditioning agent in advanced material formulations. It is a critical raw material for industries requiring polymers with permanent cationic charge, moisture responsiveness, and compatibility with various substrates.

Application

• Paper & Packaging Coatings: As a wet-strength agent, retention aid, or surface sizing component to improve printability and water resistance.
• Textile & Fiber Treatment: Utilized as a softener, antistatic agent, or dye-fixing auxiliary to enhance fabric hand-feel and color fastness.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Serves as a conditioning polymer in hair care products (shampoos, conditioners) and skin care formulations for improved manageability and feel.
• Water Treatment: Acts as a flocculant or sludge dewatering aid in industrial and municipal wastewater treatment processes.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Functions as a tackifier or rheology modifier to adjust viscosity and improve adhesion to challenging surfaces.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Incorporated as a filming agent or anti-redeposition polymer in floor polishes and hard surface cleaners.

Quality Control

Our production of this cationic terpolymer adheres to strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency. Key parameters such as cationic charge density, solids content, viscosity, and residual monomer levels are rigorously monitored. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these specifications are provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect product performance.
