Ethylene/propylene copolymer is a linear copolymer which is prepared with a catalyst obtained by contacting a hydrocarbon-soluble compound of a group IVa, Va or VIa metal with an organometalic compound of a group I or IIa metal or aluminium, It is a polyene with simple hydrocarbon structures with no functional groups other than alkenes or alkanes, produced by the polymerisation of vinyl monomers such as ethylene or propylene, copolymer obtained from the polymerisation of ethylene and octene. It is a polymeric ingredient using an ethylene unit.
The name defines the structure of the molecule
Description of the raw materials used in its production.
Step-by-step summary of its industrial chemical synthesis process.
It takes the form of a white crystalline powder or a yellowish transparent liquid. Flammable and incompatible with halogens, chlorinated solvents, oxidants. Insoluble in organic solvents or water, soluble only in special organic solvents.
What it is used for and where
Cosmetics
Film-forming agent. Produces a very thin continuous film with an optimal balance of cohesion, adhesion and adhesiveness on skin or hair.
Agente di aumento della viscosità, non acquoso. Poiché la viscosità è importante per aumentare la stabilità chimica e fisica del prodotto, l'Agente di aumento della viscosità non acquoso costituisce un importante fattore di dosaggio in gel, sospensioni, emulsioni, soluzioni. Aumentare la viscosità rende le formulazioni meno sedimentose e più omogeneamente addensate.
Slightly abrasive on the skin.
Other uses
Used in plasticisers and coatings with reactive additives.
Abrasives. Biomedical sector.
Packaging Material. Ethylene/Propylene Copolymer is used in the production of plastic films for food and non-food packaging.
Rubber Component. Used in the production of rubbers to improve elastic and mechanical properties.
Plastic Additive. Used to enhance the properties of plastics, such as resistance and flexibility.
Personal Care Products. Used in cosmetics and personal care products as a viscosity agent and film-former.
Building Product Component. Used in building products, such as waterproofing membranes and insulation materials.
Please note that Ethylene/Propylene Copolymer is generally considered to be a safe and effective ingredient in various products, but it is always important to check the regulations in your area.
