SOLAMER® UV Absorbing PolymersSOLAMER® UV Absorbing Polymers
A unique, proprietary Nalco polymer developed to provide broad spectrum UV-protection in leave-on and rinse-off hair care applications, SOLAMER GR8 UV-absorbing Polymer for Hair Care Technology represents a quantum leap in effective UV protection for hair.
SOLAMER GR8 is a multifunctional UV-absorbing polymer, for use in both leave-on and rinse-off hair care products, including shampoos, conditioners and non-aerosol hair styling products. Engineered to provide substantive, broad-spectrum UV-A and UV-B protection to hair, SOLAMER GR8 protects the hair fiber structure, both inside and out, against damage caused by sun exposure. It maintains the tensile strength of hair after UV exposure, and it works in leave-on and rinse-off formulations over a broad pH range, from 4 to 10.
SOLAMER GR8 provides an excellent toxicity profile, is fully water soluble, and is also compatible with a variety of surfactants and in formulations containing up to 95 percent alcohol.
