These polymers form flexible, easily removable, high gloss films that feel pleasantly crisp with no flaking or build-up. They are also ideal for water-based skin care products and fingernail enamels. This innovative technology combines two unique polymer chains, intertwined to achieve a balance between powerful hold, easy removability and film formation properties. Interpolymer says these polymers are compatible with virtually all cosmetic raw materials and can be added to sprayable/pumpable formulas at room temperatures in order to lower VOC levels. The Interpolymer bimodal platform - consisting of Syntran PC 5100, PC 5112, and EX-107 polymers - aims to allow formulators to attain new levels of quality and consistency.

A new selector guide is available free from Interpolymer. It aims to help formulators choose the right polymer or polymer group for their application. The eight-page book highlights Interpolymer’s comprehensive product line of patented Syntran and Megatran polymers while also providing an overview of the company’s philosophies, technologies, and capabilities.
