ISOBAM™ – Water soluble polymer

ISOBAM™ is the trade name of an alternative copolymer of isobutylene and maleic anhydride developed by KURARAY using their POVAL® (polyvinyl alcohol) technology. ISOBAM™ is an alkaline water soluble polymer with outstanding characteristics which have never been acquired by conventional water soluble polymers such as polyvinyl alcohol and cellulose derivatives.
ISOBAM™ is a white powder in appearance. It is generally used as a water soluble polymer reacting with sodium hydroxide, ammonia and amine. Various useful reactants are obtained by the reaction of ISOBAM™ with alcohol, amine and epoxy compounds.
