AQ™ 48 Ultra is a solid, water-dispersible, sulfopolyester resin. It is commonly used as a fixative for hair care products and as a film former in coatings and inks.
Eastman AQ™ 48 Ultra is a sulfopolyester resin that disperses directly in water without the aid of surfactants or additives. Dispersions of AQ™ 48 Ultra are made up of very small particle aggregates that allow for rapid formation of clear and glossy films at room temperature that are low in tack. AQ™ 48 Ultra, also known as polyester-5, was designed to be used as a fixative in hair sprays and gels. It has good compatibility with alcohols, resists sweat, and has good wash out with shampooing.
