    Re: HC-110 new formula? Any comments on performance?

    It seems to perform for me just like the old yellow version, of which I have three bottles remaining. I can tell you that you should NOT store the new version in a refrigerator, as I have done with the old versions going on 30 years. It will turn into a slush kind of like what you’d find in a cooler after a long picnic. Warming it up to room temperature helps a lot, but there will still be some solids left in it.

    For those who say it has disappeared from the market, Freestyle does have it in stock.

    I thought I'd add a little more information. As above, some of the new HC-110 did partially break down with some large cup-like chunks coming out of solution when stored just above freezing. Even warmed up, and after a few months, some of the solid chunks remained.

    I tried using it today, taking the free-flowing liquid part from the bottle and not worrying about the chunks. It seems to work just fine that way.
