Used in cosmetic products as film forming, hair fixing, plasticiser, skin conditioning and skin protecting. Polyurethane-58 is a complex polymer made by reacting polytetramethylene ether glycol, 2,2-dimethylolpropionic acid and meta-tetramethylenexylenediisocyanate to form a prepolymer. The prepolymer is dispersed in water with 2-dimethylamino-2-methylpropanol as neutralizer and chain-extended with ethylenediamine.
