Advantage™ Plus

Advantage™ Plus polymer is a terpolymer of vinyl acetate, mono-n-butyl maleate and isobornyl acrylate. In sun care applications, incorporating Advantage™ Plus polymer into anhydrous spray formulations offers enhanced performance and feel. Depending on the type of neutralizer, Advantage™ Plus polymer can be used to formulate aerosol formulations containing 50 percent or more hydrocarbons. This self-adapting polymer helps boost formula SPF and improves water resistance, while providing a low-shine finish on the skin. Study results show that Advantage™ Plus polymer boosts initial SPF and improves water-resistant benefits for higher SPF retention. In hair care,Advantage™ Plus polymer is used for hair spray applications where it delivers stiff, hard-holding performance. Styling effects are long-lasting even in a high humidity environment. Depending on the type of neutralizer, Advantage Plus polymer can be used to formulate aerosol hairsprays containing 50 percent or more hydrocarbons.
