DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.

DMAPA acrylates/acrylic acid/acrylonitrogens copolymer is a mixture of substances used in cosmetic preparations. The copolymer acts as a film former (forms a film on skin, hair or nails when applied).

Note(s)This section has been translated automatically.

DMAPA is an acronym for dimethylaminopropylamine. Dimethylaminopropylamines contain one primary and one tertiary amine group. If DMAPA is heated with a fatty acid, for example, fatty acid amides with a tertiary amine group are formed. Such amides are starting products for detergents and foaming agents.

Copolymers are polymers which are composed of 2 different monomer units.
