SYNTRAN PC 5100

A unique bimodal polymer technology was designed to form an interpenetrating network delivering both cationic and anionic functions in the same aqueous vehicle.  The result is a reversible, cross-linked polymer complex achieved by the ionic associations of the two types of functional groups attached to polymer chains which provide both holding power and ease of removal.  The anionic chain contributes to the polymer’s removal properties and the cationic chain imparts polymer substantivity.  Bimodal polymers have film formation temperatures that are balanced to provide flexible, humidity resistant films with good adhesion to the stratum corneum.
