The new film-forming polymer equips formulators with the know-how to manufacture hair sprays with firm and lasting hold.
The hair styles secured by the new dispersion spray retain a natural appearance and flexible binding, despite the dispersion’s strong fixing effect, Bayer MaterialScience said.
The company said even curls formed of strands treated with the new polyurethane change their length and shape only minimally; even in high humidity.
The polymer forms a highly elastic film on hair, like its predecessor Baycusan C 1001, which has been proved using the ‘omega loop method.’
It is supplied in a ready-to-use for, and is compatible with many other components in hair sprays – be it in formulations with a high propellant or solvent content, or those with a high water content.
Bayer MaterialScience head of Global Business Development for cosmetic raw materials Sophie Viala said Baycusan C 1008 gives hair better hold since it is designed to combine with ethanol/water mixtures to yield the clearest possible solutions, and form stable solutions with common propellants such as dimethyl ether even at very low temperatures.
Bayer MaterialScience will present the Baycusan C 1008 polyurethane dispersion at the In-Cosmetics 2011 trade show in Milan this March.
