OriginPolyurethane-62 is a synthetic polymer derived from the chemical family of polyurethanes, created through reactions of isocyanates and polyols. It is synthesized by condensation polymerization, combining these reactive components under controlled conditions to form the polymer chain.
Polyurethane-62 is a copolymer of hexamethylene diisocyanate, PEG-200, Methyl Gluceth-10 and Trideceth-6 monomers, end-capped with a fatty alcohol containing 16 to 20 carbons.
