Hey guys how r you? Gotta question what is a polymer? and how does it work?
What is it?

This is quote from an online dictionary.
"Any of numerous compounds of usually high molecular weight and consisting of up to millions of repeated linked units, each a relatively light and simple molecule."
In a polymer sealant, the polymers bond to the paint at the molecular level, creating longer lasting and better paint protection.

The Old Grey Whistle Test
Polymer:
Polymers [: a chemical compound with many repeating structural units]
Quality products contain polymers and /or co-polymers, amino functional resins, they are usually a blend of resins and a small percentage of wax that initially adheres by surface tension and then after a cross-linking period (the solvents in the carrier system vaporize (outgas) after which the polymers form a molecular bond to the paint. Fracture/evaporation temperatures (Melting point) - Polymers 350oF+,
A molecular bond is formed when polymers cross-link to each other, resulting in a solid, durable protective layer. Polymer sealant comprises an open linked molecule, unlike Carnauba wax molecules, which are closed- linked, which means that they only butt up together to protect the surface. The open linked polymer molecules join together to create a mesh like effect. Polymer sealants also have greater life expectancy and a much higher fracture/evaporation point than Carnauba wax, dependant upon the percentage of polymer in the formula
The presence of oil or water inhibits the cross-linking process of a polymer or linking together of the chains (monomers or building blocks) to form a â€Ëœstructureâ€â„¢ by acting as a barrier and will compromise its strength, durability, cross-linking and adherence.
~Hope this helps~
