Description

Vp/Acrylates/Lauryl Methacrylate Copolymer is a synthetic polymer designed to deliver exceptional film-forming, binding, and water-resistant properties. This versatile copolymer is engineered to enhance the performance and durability of formulations across multiple industrial sectors. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, coatings, adhesives, and specialty chemical industries seeking to improve product texture, stability, and functional characteristics.

Application

• Hair Styling & Fixative Products: Provides strong hold, humidity resistance, and excellent film flexibility in gels, mousses, and sprays.
• Skin Care & Sunscreen Formulations: Acts as a film-forming agent and water-resistant barrier in creams, lotions, and SPF products.
• Color Cosmetics: Enhances the long-wear, transfer-resistance, and smooth application of foundations, mascaras, and lip products.
• Industrial & Protective Coatings: Imparts toughness, adhesion, and chemical resistance to coatings for metals, plastics, and textiles.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Used as a key component to improve bonding strength, flexibility, and environmental durability.
• Printing Inks & Overprint Varnishes: Contributes to gloss, rub resistance, and fast-drying properties.

Quality Control

Our Vp/Acrylates/Lauryl Methacrylate Copolymer is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure consistent performance, including parameters such as solids content, viscosity, pH, and residual monomers. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

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); ensure containers are sealed immediately after use to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect product performance.
