Polyurethane-101
Used in cosmetic products as viscosity controlling. Polyurethane-101 is a urethane polymer that is prepared by a multi-step process. First, Isophorone Diisocyanate is reacted with polyester polyol made by condensing Adipic Acid with Glycol. The resulting polymer is reacted with Dimethylolpropionic Acid then neutralized with Triethylamine and dispersed into water.
