What is POLYURETHANE-35 used for?

Polyurethane-35 has quite unique properties making it a versatile ingredient in the world of personal care and cosmetics. It can primarily be found in hair care products, sunscreens, and moisturizers.

Hair care: It is used to provide hold, volume, and flexibility to hairstyles. It is found in various formulations such as hairsprays, mousses, gels, and styling creams. Polyurethane-35 helps to create a strong hold on hair while still allowing for natural movement, and it offers flexibility, which means that the hair can be easily restyled throughout the day
Skin care: It forms a protective film on the skin, which enhances water resistance and prolongs the efficacy of the products. It also improves the texture of the formulations, providing a smooth and silky feel to the skin
Decorative makeup: It is also commonly used in cosmetic products such as foundations, concealers, and other makeup products. It helps to improve the texture of the formulations, providing a smooth and even finish. It also enhances the staying power of the makeup, ensuring that it lasts longer

Origin

Polyurethane-35 is made through a process called polymerization, which involves linking together molecules of a monomer called diisocyanate with a molecule called a polyol. This results in a polymer with repeating units of urethane.
