Chromabond™ polymers
Chromabond polymers are vinylpyridine-based polymers that contain either nitrogen oxide (Chromabond S-400 and S-403E polymers) or betaine (Chromabond S-100 polymer) functionalities.
Chromabond polymers are premium dye-transfer inhibitors developed and used in color-safe laundry detergents. These polymers demonstrate superior complexing of fugitive dyes at cost-effective levels under different temperatures and surfactant environments.
Its chemical structure promotes dye complexation up to 60°C, while resisting interaction with anionic surfactants. Chromabond polymers are soluble in water and water-alcohol mixtures but insoluble in most other solvents.
