Technical Details & Test Data
- High humidity curl retention BALANCE RCFg polymer gels
After 24 hours, all of the gels containing Balance® RCFg polymer have superior high humidity curl retention compared to both PVP K-90 gel formulations.- Viscosity vs pH
Viscosity vs. pH
Maximum viscosity can be achieved at the pH 7-8 range.

Formulators can use 50% less Balance® RCFg polymer than PVP K-90 to generate similar stiffness with improved on-hair sensory properties:
• Easier dry combing
• Less on-hair flaking
