  Structure XL: Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate

  Posted by LuisJavier on February 11, 2020 at 6:24 pm

  A chemist has let me know that Structure XL is an alternative to Aristoflex AVC. Have you worked with Structure XL? What are your opinions on it?

      Means they are different in every regard. Different does not mean better or worse….just means different.

      Haptics are 98% subjective. Test it.

      I use Hydroxypropyl starch phosphate almost exclusively now, and I consider myself pretty picky. I was actually pushed into it…with my affinity to cationic co-emulsifiers and use of electrolytes.
