Poly(Alpha-Olefins)
Poly(Alpha-Olefins) are binders that can also be found in shampoos and soaps. Poly(Alpha-Olefins) are added to products so that when other ingredients are compressed, they hold together in a solid shape. As a result, Poly(Alpha-Olefins) are used to improve the thickness of liquid or gel products or to stabilize foams.
