Description

Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Vinyl Formamide Copolymer is a high-performance synthetic polymer known for its exceptional film-forming, thickening, and conditioning properties. This copolymer is particularly valued for its ability to provide long-lasting, substantive effects on surfaces like hair and skin, even in the presence of surfactants and salts. It is a critical ingredient for formulators in the personal care and cosmetics industry seeking to enhance product performance and sensory attributes. The compound is identified by CAS number 58374-69-9.

Application

• Hair Care Products: As a primary film-former and conditioning agent in shampoos, conditioners, styling gels, mousses, and hair sprays for superior hold, shine, and manageability.
• Skin Care & Cosmetics: Used in creams, lotions, sunscreens, and makeup to improve texture, provide a smooth, non-tacky feel, and enhance water resistance.
• Color Cosmetics: Functions as a binder and film-former in mascara, eyeliners, and foundations to improve wear time, waterproofing, and pigment dispersion.
• Personal Cleansers: Provides conditioning benefits and viscosity modulation in body washes and facial cleansers without being stripped away by surfactants.
• Technical Applications: Employed as a rheology modifier and stabilizer in various industrial formulations requiring robust performance in challenging ionic environments.

Quality Control

Our Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Vinyl Formamide Copolymer is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, performance, and compliance with relevant cosmetic and industrial grade specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, assay, residual monomers, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the original container tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture which may affect product performance.
