Phosphate acrylate copolymer zinc complex: ColgateRecent Research Landscape

Thermodynamic instability in single-phase mixtures leads to ingredient degradation and reduced shelf life. Maintaining distinct aqueous phases prevents premature reaction of incompatible actives to ensure maximum therapeutic delivery.

What technical problems is Colgate addressing in Phosphate acrylate copolymer zinc complex?

Inadequate active ingredient delivery

(2)evidences

Chemical instability or premature reaction between ingredients prevents effective delivery in a single-phase system. Separating components into two aqueous phases ensures potency and shelf-life stability.

Cationic active ingredient instability

(2)evidences

Moisture and saliva interfere with the formation of stable bonds between dental materials and biological tissues. Overcoming this failure mode ensures long-term retention of restorations in wet environments.
