POLYESTER-36.

Insufficient Data CAS 229495-23-2 / FILM FORMING

POLYESTER-36 functions primarily as a film-forming agent, creating a resilient, flexible layer upon application. This property enhances product longevity and performance by contributing to water and smudge resistance, particularly beneficial in formulations designed for extended wear.

Summary

Film Forming

Science

Mechanism of Action

As a large molecular weight polymer, POLYESTER-36 forms a clear, non-occlusive film on the skin's surface. This precisely engineered film aids in stabilizing hydrophobic ingredients within aqueous systems, provides a smooth glide during application, and significantly boosts a product's resistance to water and smudging, thereby extending its functional wear time.
