All microplastics are polymers – but not all polymers are microplastics

Liquid polyurethane: environmentally- and performance-wise so much to offer

Meeting the challenge: high performance and biodegradable products

Liquid polymers such as polyurethanes are used in the cosmetics industry for hair styling products, in color cosmetics or in sun protection products. Like all other cosmetic ingredients, these polymers end up in water: either with waste water into a sewage treatment plant or – in some cases – directly in the natural water circle. The cosmetics industry is therefore facing major challenges due to consumers' changed environmental awareness and the growing demand for biodegradable products that simultaneously provide optimal properties. Our liquid PU film formers offer both: outstanding performance and biodegradability, thus resulting in a more ecologically friendly solution for cosmetic producers and a more sustainable choice for cosmetics consumers.
