  • Alkyl allyl amines and low voc hair styling compositions using same
    Patent number: 6361801
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to alkyl allyl amine monomers and their use as a polymerizate in a low VOC hair spray formulation. The hair spray formulation preferably includes a polymerizate of an alkyl allyl amine monomer, preferably an alkyl diallyl amine monomer alone or in combination with other known monomers. The hair spray formulation preferentially satisfies low VOC requirements while maintaining characteristics desired in a hair fixative product.
