Product Description

VP/VA copolymer is a synthetic polymer, or large molecule, used in skin care and hair care preparations primarily as a film-forming agent. This category of ingredients creates a coating over the area of application which helps reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and creates a smooth feeling.

VP/VA copolymer is created through the combining of two smaller molecules, vinyl acetate and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). Hair care products commonly use this multi-industry ingredient to help fix hair into place, which is why it’s commonly incorporated into hair sprays.

Application of VP/VA Copolymer

Pharmaceuticals

It is mainly used as water soluble and drying adhesive agent when making grain and pressing tablet directly. It will be used in film coating and cover-taste agent. It can prevent sugar coating from split and make bottom coating avoid dampness.

Cosmetics

VP/VA Series play a good role in film-former and hair-fixing agent. Its hygroscopicity decreases with the increase of the proportion of vinylacetate in the molecular. This property of VP/VA is extremely useful as it works in hair sprays and hair-set lotion. If it is mixed with PVP K-30, the effect of hair-fixing would be changed a lot.

Other Utility

VP/VA series can be used in remoistenable adhesive and other adhesives for paper or viscosity-enchancing agent and protecting colloid for printing ink. VP/VA series can also act as emulsifying agent, protecting colloid for planting-protecting chemicals, other dispersing systems and binder in coating.

FAQ

Q: What is the benefit of VP VA copolymer?

A: VP/VA Copolymer does not allow the shafts to absorb any further moisture and thus lose any styling done on them. VP/VA Copolymer also forms a thin coat on hair that helps them retain its shape.

Q: Is VP VA copolymer safe?

A: VP/VA copolymer, also known as polyvinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer, is generally considered safe for use in cosmetics and personal care products at current usage concentrations, according to the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel. The CIR has assessed the safety of this ingredient multiple times and reaffirmed its safety based on various studies. While it's generally safe, some individuals may experience mild irritation, especially with higher concentrations or on sensitive skin, so a patch test is recommended.

Q: What is the source of VP VA copolymer?

A: VP/VA Copolymer is a synthetic polymer made from vinylpyrrolidone and vinyl acetate, featuring excellent film-forming, binding, and fixing properties, and is widely used in cosmetics and skincare products.

Q: What is a copolymer made of?

A: What are Copolymers? A copolymer is a polymer that is made up of two or more monomer species. Many commercially important polymers are copolymers. Examples include polyethylene-vinyl acetate (PEVA), nitrile rubber, and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS).

Q: What is VP VA copolymer used for?

A: VP/VA Copolymer is employed in shampoos and conditioners for its film-forming and conditioning attributes. Vinylpyrrolidone / Vinyl Acetate Copolymer (VP/VA Copolymer) is used in cosmetics like mascaras, eyeliners, and foundations to provide lasting wear and adherence.

Q: What are the properties of a copolymer?

A: General properties of copolymers include their ability to be thermoplastic or thermoset and elastic. Other properties include a copolymer's ability to be chemical resistant. Chain length and branching influence the strength of a copolymer chain.
