AKA: AMP-Acrylates Copolymer
Synthetic
Not Clean
OriginComposed of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, and alkyl acrylate monomers from petroleum-derived chemical feedstocks. Synthesized through free radical polymerization of multiple monomers to form a cross-linked copolymer film-former.
AMP-Acrylates/C1-18 Alkyl Acrylate/C1-8 Alkyl Acrylamide/Hydroxyethylacrylate Copolymer is a polymer of C1-18 alkyl acrylate or C1-18 alkyl methacrylate, C1-8 alkyl acrylamide, hydroxyethylacrylate, and the aminomethylpropanol salt of a monomer consisting of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid or one of their simple esters
