Ammonium Styrene/Acrylates/Ethylhexyl Acrylate / Lauryl Acrylate CopolymerAmmonium is the ammonium salt of Styrene/Acrylates/Ethylhexyl Acrylate / Lauryl Acrylate Copolymer Science: Functions: Film Forming Safety Ratings: CIR: Safe as used
Form
Liquid
Plant-Derived
Synthetic. Synthesized from styrene, acrylic acid derivatives, ethylhexyl acrylate, and lauryl acrylate monomers from petroleum feedstocks. Produced through free-radical polymerization of these monomers, then neutralized with ammonia to form the ammonium salt.
