ACRYLIDONE LM is a high molecular weight, film-forming anionic terpolymer composed of vinylpyrrolidone and an acrylate backbone with a hydrophobic pendant C-12 chain. It is insoluble in ethanol and water until neutralized for easy dispersion. It exhibits synergistic thickening when combined with associative rheology modifiers.

GANTREZ™ S-97 BF POLYMER is a methyl vinyl ether/maleic anhydride copolymers produced by hydrolysis of (polymethylvinylether/maleic anhydride) copolymer. The free acid forms are water-soluble, giving clear and tacky films. Solution rheology can be modified by the addition of salts and bases. Gantrez polymers act as highly effective chelating agents for iron, magnesium, zinc and calcium ions; are excellent film formers and enhance hydrophilicity of surfaces. In hard surface cleaners, Gantrez S-97 polymer provides anti-fog properties and promotes long-lasting streak-free surfaces.

SURFADONE™ LP-300 WETTING AGENT is sparingly soluble in water (0.002 weight percent) and soluble in most organic solvents. It is a low-foaming, nonionic surfactant with an HLB of 3 and has no critical micelle concentration (CMC). Like its lower homolog, Surfadone™ LP-300 wetting agent interacts with anionic surfactants, forming mixed micelles, which greatly enhances its solubility, resulting in a synergistic surface tension reduction and wetting enhancement. Appropriate combinations of Surfadone™ LP-300 wetting agent and anionic surfactants produce viscous solutions and gels.

PVP K-60 SOLUTION is a hygroscopic, amorphous polymer supplied as a clear aqueous solution. It can be plasticized with water and most common organic plasticizers. It is considered to be physiologically inert. This product is cross-linkable to a water insoluble, swellable material either in the course of vinylpyrrolidone polymerization, by addition of an appropriate multifunctional comonomer or by post-reaction, typically through hydrogen abstraction chemistry.
