ADIPIC ACID/METHYLPENTANEDIOL/HDI COPOLYMER.

Insufficient Data / FILM FORMING

A synthetic polymer, this ingredient primarily functions as a film-forming agent. It enhances durability and creates specialized aesthetic finishes like a matte effect, particularly in decorative cosmetics.

film former

Science

Upon application, it forms a continuous, flexible film through solvent evaporation or curing processes. This film provides structural integrity, improves pigment adhesion, and can be engineered for a matte aesthetic finish.
