Definition:
Polyacrylate Polymer
Polyacrylate Polymer is a film former that works in combination with rinsing water to keep surfaces cleaner longer. It is especially good at helping prevent soap scum from adhering to shower and sink surfaces. It works by first attaching to the surface, and then helping to prevent soils from attaching so that they can be washed away by water. It can also be used as a cleaning agent for soft surfaces, such as clothes, where it works by attaching to soils so they can be more easily washed away.
