SNF polymers are used as an ingredient in various auto care product formulations. These polymers offer unique properties that can enhance product performance, including improving cleaning and protection capabilities, altering viscosities, and improving user experience. From wash detergents to polishing wax, SNF offers performance polymers that act as rheology modifiers, foam boosters, and surface modifiers in formulations.

Overall, water-soluble polymers play a crucial role in enhancing the performance and effectiveness of auto care products, making them indispensable components in maintaining and protecting vehicles.

Polymers used in fuel gels act as thickening & gelling agents to adjust viscosity & texture of the fuel. When added to alcohols (in combination with water), these polymers form a gel-like substance that reduces the risk of spills providing a safer alternative to liquid fuels. The polymers also lessen the evaporation rate and assist in maintaining a desirable burn rate, which results in a longer burn.

Superabsorbent polymers are used in gel air fresheners to control the release of fragrance over time. As the gel gradually releases the fragrance, the superabsorbent polymers help to prevent the fragrance from evaporating too quickly, ensuring that the scent lasts longer.

In addition, based on the composition of the aqueous-compatible fragrance, SNF’s range of polymers can help dial in the desired characteristics of your product, such as rate of swelling and heat resistance. Overall, using superabsorbent polymers in gel air fresheners is an effective way to create a longer lasting and more consistent fragrance experience.
