Balance® 47, a unique, hydrophobically modified acrylic resin, has been specially designed to produce superior performance in low volatile organic compound (VOC) aerosol and pump hair sprays that contain water. In such systems, the negative effects of water are well known. Water contributes to both increased viscosity and increased surface tension resulting in wetter sprays with a larger particle size. These sprays are inefficient in coating the hair. Water also affects initial curl droop, drying time, polymer holding properties, and stiffness of the hair. Furthermore, the increased viscosity due to the water can limit the polymer solids of the spray and can result in actuator blockage. Due to its unique composition and molecular weight distribution, Balance® 47 polymer hair fixative overcomes the effects of water over abroad range of hair spray VOC content.

Balance® CR polymer is a film forming hair fixative primarily designed for low VOC aerosol hair spray systems. It is supplied as an easy to use liquid emulsion, provides very low viscosities in high-water formulations, and its molecular weight has been optimized for superior stiffness and high humidity hold. Films of the polymer are hard but provide a more natural, flexible feel on the hair compared to the AMPHOMER polymer technology. Balance® CR polymer uses Nouryon's low-corrosion technology, which reduces the level of corrosion that is typically associated with emulsion polymers.

Balance® RCFg polymer is a multifunctional film former and rheology modifier that provides cost-effective thickening and versatile performance in a variety of hair styling and surfactant containing systems.

Balance® Extra polymer is a high molecular weight acrylate film-forming polymer specially engineered for low VOC aerosol systems and hair gel formulations. Its versatility extends to various hair styling products, including hair gels and aerosol hairsprays. This polymer excels in delivering stiffness and a strong, long-lasting hold even in humid conditions. Whether you're seeking the perfect hairstyle in any weather, Balance® Extra polymer is your solution.
