Hi There

Does anyone have any information on the type of polymer used in encapsulation cleaning?
It is added to a formulation of surfactans and solvents, then applied to the carpet, agitated and left to crystalize. Once dry it is then vaccumed!

Any help would be greatly appreciated?

Hi robron,

There are literally hundereds of polymers which could be used. There is a very good chance that it is more than just one polymer.

Almost any polymer could be used with the correct side-chain and appropriate salting.

Sincerely,

Eugene

Hi Rob,

Unfortunately, no.

This you would need to perform your own research and development.

Sorry,
