Strong consumer demand for more diverse styling products has been at the foundation of recent DSM Personal Care research and development work on Tilamar Fix A140.

In addition to its aerosol and spray applications, this ingredient now enables hair care formulators to create diverse styling products such as mousses, waxes, creams and fluids, according to the company. Due to the new manufacturing process, this multifunctional polymer is now preservative free.

DSM’s innovative styling polymer makes the formulation of different styling products, including aerosols, sprays, clear waxes, mousses, and other diverse styling forms, possible with just one polymer.

The product also proved to deliver high performance in the presence of water, essential for pump spray applications, demonstrating its multifunctionality.

 Thanks to a closed production system, high-tech packaging with zoning and laminar flow facility and the implementation of Hazard Analysis and Critical Points in the manufacturing process, DSM is now able to provide its customers with a new version of Tilamar Fix A140 without preservative.
