Abstract:
A hair care formulation, comprising:(I) from about 0.5 to about 20 wt % on a dry basis, based on the total amount of the hair care formulation, of a hybrid-graft copolymer comprising:(A) about 2 to about 90 wt %, based on the total hybrid-graft copolymer weight, of a sulfopolyester comprising a condensation polymerization product of:(1) about 15 to about 26 mol % dimethyl-5-sodiosulfoisophthalate based on 100 mol % dicarboxylic acid;(2) about 60 to about 80 mol % isophthalic acid based on 100 mol % dicarboxylic acid;(3) about 10 to about 30 mol % of 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol based on 100 mol % of diol; and(4) about 70 to about 90 mol % diethylene glycol based on 100 mol % of diol, and(B) about 10 to about 98 wt %, based on the total hybrid-graft copolymer weight, of an acid-functional polymer segment comprising:(1) about 15 to about 50 wt %, based on the total amount of the acid-functional polymer segment, of an acid-functional monomer,(2) about 10 to about 80 wt %, based on the total amount of the acid-functional polymer segment, of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer, and(3) up to about 40 wt %, based on the total of the acid-functional polymer segment, of an amide-functional monomer; and(II) from about 80 to about 99.5 wt %, based on the total amount of the hair care formulation, of a liquid vehicle; and(III) up to about 80 wt %, based on the total amount of the hair care formulation, of at least one volatile organic compound; andwherein the pH of said hair care formulation ranges from about 6.0 to about 9.5.
