Science
Mechanism of Action
It forms a resilient, water-resistant film. Its dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate component provides cationic properties for enhanced substantivity, while HEMA improves film flexibility and hydrophilicity.

Stability
Highly stable in aqueous systems; however, significant shifts in pH, high ionic strength, or presence of salts can affect viscosity and film integrity.
Conflicts
- Strongly anionic surfactants (may cause precipitation due to the cationic nature of the amine group)
- High concentrations of electrolytes (salts)
- Strong oxidizing agents
Safety
Safety Profile
Considered safe when formulated to be non-irritating; meticulous control of residual monomer levels is crucial to prevent sensitization.
