BIS-HEMA POLY(BUTYLENE/HEXAMETHYLENE CARBONATE)/IPDI COPOLYMER.

Optional / FILM FORMING

This polymer functions primarily as a film-forming agent, creating a continuous barrier on skin, hair, or nails. It is specifically engineered as a non-sensitizing alternative to HEMA monomers, particularly for nail applications.

Film-forming

Science

Its large, complex molecular structure significantly reduces penetration into biological tissues, contributing to low reactivity and a non-volatile profile. This copolymer is designed to polymerize and form a hard, plastic-like film, especially when cured under UV or LED light.
