Fixate™ Superhold Polymer
INCI Name:
Polyacrylate-2 Crosspolymer
Fixate™ Superhold polymer provides stiff hold and superior humidity resistance.
This innovative, patent-pending polymer enables the creation of novel, cost-effective, low-to-high viscosity styling products with high clarity, excellent shine on hair, strong resistance to flaking and superior texture and aesthetics.
Fixate Superhold polymer is a branched acrylate copolymer of C1-4 alkyl(meth)acrylate, (meth)acrylic acid and a proprietary amphiphilic package that contains silicone side chains and associative hydrophobic chains. Soft, hydrophobic domains randomly combined with hard, hydrophilic domains form the backbone of this polymer, which offers an optimized balance of properties.
Key Benefits of Fixate Superhold Polymer:
- Stiff hold
- Superior high humidity resistance
- Strong resistance to flaking
- High shine
- No tack after drying
- Excellent compatibility with Carbopol® polymers and other thickeners, and commonly used styling additives
- Efficient, cost effective and easy-to-use
Fixate Superhold polymer can easily be formulated into a wide variety of product forms such as:
- Hair Gels
- Hair Mousses
- Pump Sprays
- Curl Enhancing Crèmes
- Styling Waxes
- Pastes, Putties, Puddings, Glues
