Patent ID: 7585513

Claim:
Composition in the form of a styling mousse, packaged in an aerosol device, comprising a liquid phase comprising, in an aqueous or aqueous/alcoholic medium, (a) at least one fixing film-forming polymer comprising 26 to 36 mol % of acrylic acid, 27.5 to 30.5 mol % of n-butyl acrylate, 33.3 to 45.3 mol % of methacrylate acid and 0.48 to 0.92 mol % of allyl methacrylate, and (b) at least one other fixing film-forming polymer other than the fixing film-forming polymer of (a), said at least one other fixing film-forming polymer being a copolymer of methacrylic acid (50) and ethyl acrylate (50) or being a terpolymer of vinylpyrrolidone (23), acrylic acid (68) and lauryl methacrylate (9), the fixing film-forming polymer of (a) being present in an amount of 0.5 to 5% by weight with respect to the total weight of the liquid phase and the other fixing film-forming polymer of (b) being present in an amount of 0.1 to 5% by weight with respect to the total weight of the liquid phase; one or more surface-active agents chosen from nonionic, cationic, anionic and zwitterionic surface-active agents in an amount of 0.1 to 4% by weight with respect to the total weight of the liquid phase; and at least one propellant selected from the group consisting of dimethyl ether, C 3-5 alkanes, 1,1-difluoroethane, a mixture of dimethyl ether and C 3-5 alkanes, and a mixture of 1,1-difluoroethane, dimethyl ether and optionally C 3-5 alkanes, wherein the ratio by weight of the liquid phase to the propellant is between 85/15 and 96/4.
