Description

Eastman AQ™ 48 Ultra Polymer is a sulfopolyester primarily used in hair care products, inks, paints & coatings, personal care & cosmetics packaging, and personal care ingredients. Here's an overview of its properties and uses:

Chemical Synonym: INCI: Polyester-5

Applications:

Hair care ingredients
Inks
Paints & coatings
Personal care & cosmetics packaging
Personal care ingredients

Key Attributes:

Excellent film formation with and without alcohol
Excellent hold under high-humidity conditions
Fast drying hairsprays
Good wash-out with shampooing
High gloss
Low film tack-wet or dry
Low-viscosity hairsprays

Product Description: Eastman AQ™ 48 Ultra polymer is a sulfopolyester that disperses directly in a mixture of ethanol and water at room temperature or warm water without the need for surfactants or other additives. It can form low-viscosity aqueous dispersions at concentrations up to 30% polymer solids. These dispersions have water-like viscosity at concentrations up to about 20% polymer. AQ polymers aid in the dispersion of hydrophobic ingredients in water-based formulations, and films formed from the dispersions are clear and glossy at room temperature.

AQ 48 Ultra polymer was specifically designed for use as a hair fixative in 55% VOC hairspray. It's more compatible with higher levels of alcohol than some other Eastman AQ™ polymers and has good wash-out with shampooing. It provides excellent hold under high humidity conditions in aerosol and pump hairsprays, as well as in clear styling gels. Eastman AQ 48 has a glass transition temperature (Tg) of about 48°C and is supplied as pellets.

Typical Properties:

Form: Pellets
Color: Pale amber
Glass Transition Temperature (Tg) - Dry Polymer: 40-50°C
Inherent Viscosity: 0.26-0.32 dL/g
Acid Number (mg KOH/g): <2
Hydroxyl Number: <10 mg KOH/g
Bulk Density: 6.9 lb/gal
