  Polyimide 1 replacement

  Posted by cossci21 on October 22, 2014 at 6:13 pm

  Hello all,

  I am making a hair gel and looking for a replacement for polyimide-1? It is a polymer which provides a lot of flexibility and even makes the product a bit flexible. This ingredient is only from one supplier and the pack size is too large.
  Is there any alternatives suitable for a clear hair gel?

  Thanks

  I’ve never used it, so I couldn’t say. Look into the Noveon urethane fixatives (now Lubrizol) for starters.
