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.
