MALEATED HEXENE/PROPYLENE COPOLYMER.

Insufficient Data CAS 1227182-24-2

Maleated Hexene/Propylene Copolymer is a synthetic polymer, chemically modified by the incorporation of maleate groups onto a hexene/propylene backbone. This modification enhances its functional properties within cosmetic formulations, particularly for film formation and binding.

Science

This copolymer likely functions primarily as a film former, creating a thin, flexible layer on the skin or hair surface, which can contribute to product longevity and feel. The maleate moieties introduce polar characteristics, potentially improving ingredient dispersion, emulsion stabilization, or adhesion within the formulation, thus enhancing texture and stability.
