Lupasol, it's a chemical chameleon The unique structure and chemistry of Lupasol. polyethylenimine. promotes the binding between similar and dissimilar materials of almost any kind — whether it's used as an adhesive promoter, a dye fixative, helping plastics to adhere to paper, binding paints to walls, or anchoring enzymes and microorganisms to inert supports. We've taken a monomer consisting of two carbons and a nitrogen connected in sequence and created a
polymer that is highly branched, spherical and easily protonated, forming the most highly charged cationic polymer available. Lupasol strongly binds onto anionic and polar surfaces, forming ionic and/or Hydrogen bonds. It can be chemically reacted as any amine to form a variety of products with unusual properties. Lupasol can be altered to make it suitable for a large variety of applications in a wide range of industries. It makes things stick better by creating a tighter bond; it has the
ability to alter a molecule's cationic charge, and its VOC content is low. From lamination to adhesion, coatings to cosmetics, there's a good chance you can find out how Lupasol gives you an advantage over the competition. Try Lupasol — our word is our bond.
