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.

GANTREZ™ S-95 35% SOLUTION POLYMER is a methyl vinyl ether/maleic acid copolymer produced by hydrolysis of (polymethylvinylether/maleic anhydride) copolymer. The free acid forms are water-soluble, giving clear and tacky films. The polymers acts as highly effective chelating agents for iron, magnesium, zinc and calcium ions, and controls mineral scale. In automatic diswashing products, Gantrez S-95 polymer replaces phosphates resulting in spot -free surfaces. In laundry and fabric care products, the polymer acts as s a calcium encrustation inhibitor to improve color protection and reduce graying of fabrics.

PLASDON K29/32 polymer by Ashland Specialty Chemical acts as a rheology modifier. It is a stable, water-soluble polyvinylpyrrolidone that meets U.S., European and Japanese pharmacopoeia specifications for Povidone. It forms complexes with catechins, just as it does with many other compounds that cause discoloration of teeth. The polymer can be effectively used to bind and remove stains through hydrogen bonding with chemical compounds.

PVP K-12 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.
