What chemicals are in a fixer / hairspray?
Hey, I am doing a project in chemistry and chemistry apply to our lives as far as I am an artist, I chose to do so on fixer and the reactions it has with feathers (I do not paint pen). Here's an example: http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn115/birdsingerkrista/P9270423.jpg Anyhoo, if anyone has any suggestions about the chemical composition in a fixative (I use Prismacolor Premier: matte fixative), I love it! and you do not have to do tons of research ... but if you just know one of the chemicals, I am indebted to you forever. - Phoenix
fixative spray and hair spray are the same. Here is a summary of a patent for an improved hair spray, "An improved tolerance hydrocarbon resin composition of aerosol hair spray fixative comprises a polymer which is composed mainly tetrapolymer (1) neononanoate of vinyl acetate, vinyl neodecanoate (2) or vinyl (3) monoisobutyl maleate and (4) Nt-butyl acrylamide, Nt-octyl acrylamide, or isobornyl (meth) acrylate in a molar ratio of 10:10:15:1 in 26:1:15:1, preferably in a molar ratio of 12.5:7.5:15:1, exhibitions advantageous Small particles of spray adhesive and short drying time, and hydrolytic stability, which are the performance characteristics desired on the hair.
