Polytrap® is a free-flowing white amorphous polymeric powder that adsorbs high levels of lipophilic materials while providing an elegant skin feel. Polytrap is capable of providing a variety of functional benefits to topical formulations used in personal care products.
STRUCTURE: Polytrap consists of unit particles of less than one micron, which are associated into agglomerates of 20 to 80 microns. These agglomerates are electro-statically aggregated into macroparticles 200 -1200 microns in size. Since these aggregates are weakly associated, Polytrap breaks down upon rubbing on the skin – conveying a lubricous skin feel and allowing the particles to “disappear” on the skin.
