STYRENE/ACRYLATES COPOLYMER
INCI: Styrene/acrylate copolymer
What is Styrene/acrylate copolymer?
Styrene/acrylate copolymer is a polymer of styrene and monomers of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid. It is a fine white powder, hydrophobic in nature. It is used as a useful ingredient in many cosmetic products.
Use & Benefits:
- Film-forming Agent: Creates a pliable, cohesive, and continuous coating on the hair or skin, leaving it feeling silky and smooth.
- Water-binding Capabilities: The formed layer/film has water-binding capabilities, enhancing hydration.
- Hydrophobic Property: Useful in products like mascara and sunscreens due to its hydrophobic nature.
- Versatility: Used in formulations of mascara, sunscreens, moisturizers, and other skin and hair care products.
- Pigment-binding Characteristics: Excellent for binding pigments in cosmetics.
- Binder for Paints: Utilized as a binder for interior and outdoor paints, providing gloss, film strength, durability, and detergent resistance.
- Modifiability: The amount of styrene can be adjusted to modify properties like water absorption and flexibility.
- Low Maintenance Coatings: Coatings made with styrene/acrylate copolymers have a low tendency to pick up dirt and require relatively little maintenance.
