The Noverite™ functional polymers are water soluble, multi-functional ampholytic polymers that provide a variety of benefits. The polymer architecture and polymerization reaction enable varying degrees of charge density and types, as well as molecular weights to influence the performance in formulated solutions. Hydrophilic fibers and surfaces can be created leading to unique product designs in laundry detergents, fabric softeners, and hard surface cleaners. Anti-fog, longer-lasting foam, reduced water spotting, water sheeting, lime scale prevention, fiber loft, and fiber lubrication are a few of the benefits that can be delivered.
