- 0.5 - 5% (for Hair spray formulations), 0.5 - 18% (for Styling aids)
- Recommended Applications
- Balance® Extra polymer was primarily designed as a hair fixative for the concentrated low VOC aerosol hair spray systems.
- The polymer functions across all styling applications to deliver hard holding films.
- Balance® Extra polymer uses our low corrosion technology, which reduces the level of corrosion typically associated with emulsion polymers in high water aerosols.
- In addition, Balance® Extra polymer is supplied as a 45% active liquid which is preservative free.
- Compatability Data
Balance® Extra polymer can be blended with our other resins to tailor the formulation to your needs. If more stiffness and hold are desired, then blends with Amphomer® polymer family or Resyn® 28-2930 polymer can be made.
