Technical Details & Test Data
- Formulary
Flexicare HP-1230 is a low viscosity acrylic emulsion polymer designed for use in pump and low-VOC aerosol mousse hair fixative and styling products. When neutralized, HP-
1230 delivers a practically colorless film forming solution that allows a formulator to produce hair sprays, hair gels and styling mousse products with volume, humidity resistance and dry combability.
HP-1230 delivers firm hold performance and curl retention with humidity resistance and good wash-out removability for no residue or buildup. The emulsion form allows very low viscosities in high water formulations, with molecular weights optimized for humidity resistance, imparting a light, cushiony feel and an enhanced tactile experience in use.- Technical Information
Flexicare HP-1230 is an efficient, cost effective and easy-to-use hair care polymer suitable for use in formulations which demand superior performance, exceptional appearance, smooth flow shear-thinning) and suspending or stabilizing properties in hair fixative systems.
Flexicare HP-1230 is supplied as a milky-white aqueous liquid emulsion for ease of use for mixing into any hair fixative formulation. This, along with broad compatibility with typically used cosmetic ingredients, makes the HP-1230 polymer ideal for use in hair and skin care applications.- Flexible hold hair care polymer
Flexicare HP-1230 is an efficient, cost effective and easy-touse hair care polymer designed to optimize all performance properties required for low VOC hair fixative systems. Flexicare HP-1230 is supplied as a milky-white aqueous liquid emulsion for ease of use for mixing into any hair fixative formulation.
Flexicare HP-1230 produces a clear to translucent solution in ethanol/water when neutralized >85%. Combine with nonionic polymers for increased viscosity. Care must be taken in degree of neutralization for compatibility with other anionic polymers, cationic ingredients and cationic polymers with high charge density.- Neutralization
The % neutralizing agent required to neutralize a given formula % of HP-1230 can be readily calculated from the ratio of the HP-1230 Acid Value (AV), eg. HP-1230 = 23-31, and the Base Value (BV) eg. AMP=630, of the neutralizing agent:
% neutralizing agent = % HP-1140 x AV/BV x Desired degree of neutralization/100
for example 10% HP-1230 with an Acid Value (AV) of 25 is 90% neutralized with 0.36% of AMP with a Base Value (BV) of 630:
%AMP = 10% HP-1230 x (25/630) x (90/100) = 0.36%
Base Value can be determined directly by titration of the neutralizing agent expressed in mgKOH/g or calculated by:
BV = (56,100/MW) of neutralizing agent x concentration of neutralizing agent/100
for example AMP (MW = 89.1):
BV = (56,100/89.1) = 630
or 50% AMP:
BV = (56,100/89.1) x (50/100) = 315
