The MP polymers are a mixed sodium and calcium salt of methyl vinyl ether and maleic anhydride copolymer supplied as a powder. The polymer is slowly soluble in water resulting in amber-colored solutions with high viscosity and adhesion. Cations form salt bridges which crosslink the polymer chains.
Applications: MP955 polymer can be used directly in formulation of a denture adhesive. In denture adhesives, the salts provide excellent wet adhesive strength and duration of hold.
Product Types or Functions: Excellent wet adhesive strength, Long-lasting hold, Mucous adhesive that enables delivery to mucous membranes.
