Abstract:
A method for reducing dust in particulate clay. The method comprises contacting clay particles with a polymer comprising at least 50 wt % polymerized units of acrylic acid and having Mw from 1,000 to 100,000.
Abstract:
A method for producing a crosslinked gel. The method comprises steps of: (a) combining (i) water, (ii) alginic acid, alginates, or mixtures thereof, (iii) carboxymethylcellulose, (iv) a salt of calcium, magnesium or zinc, (v) a nonionic surfactant and (vi) fragrance to form a gel having a surface; and (b) contacting with the surface of said gel an additional aqueous solution of a salt of calcium, magnesium or zinc.
Abstract:
A fragrance release composition comprising: (a) a polyolefin comprising polymerized units of ethylene and at least one C4-C12 alkene; and (b) a fragrance.
Abstract:
An aqueous composition comprising: (a) an aromatic-acrylic polymer comprising from 3 to 11 wt % polymerized units of C3-C6 carboxylic acid monomers and from 0.2 to 3 wt % polymerized units of anti-agglomerating monomers; (b) a reactive polyfunctional thermosetting resin; (c) a polyvalent metal ion; and (d) a polyfunctional curing agent, wherein the curing agent is stored separately from the thermosetting resin.
Abstract:
A skin care formulation which provides a skin lightening effect virtually immediately upon topical application to the skin and which includes a combination of one or more poly(ethylene) oxides and an acrylic emulsion polymer film former comprising emulsion polymers derived from one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an aqueous opaque coating formulation comprising (A) and aqueous solvent; (B) an inorganic material; and (C) a chelating polymer which comprises units derived from one or more aminocarboxylate compounds or their salts, one or more other polymerizable monomers, one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers and, optionally, one or more crosslinking monomers. For example, the aminocarboxylate compounds or their salts may be one or more of iminodiacetic acid (IDA), iminodisuccinic acid (IDS), ethylenediamine triacetic acid (ED3A) and ethylenediamine disuccinic acid (EDDS), or their salts. Suitable polymerizable monomers may be one or more of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), allyl glycidyl ether (AGE), vinylbenzyl chloride (VBC), allyl bromide, and their derivatives. The inorganic material may be a pigment, such as titanium dioxide (Ti02) or cadmium sulfide (CdS), or an extender or filler, such as talc (Mg3Si4Oio(OH)2), calcium carbonate (CaCO3) or mica, or even combinations thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to formulations for cleaning hard surfaces and leaving a glossy, streak-free finish thereon, the formulations comprising one or more liquid solvents, one or more film-forming polymers and one or more polymer surfactants comprising polymerized units derived from ethylene oxide and butylenes oxide.
Abstract:
Provided is a carrier material and its use in animal litter, where the carrier material exhibits reduced dust formation during handling. The carrier material comprises: bentonite clay; and a dust suppression agent coated on the bentonite clay, wherein the dust suppression agent is one or more alkoxylate materials of formula (I): R—O-(AO)2—H, wherein R is H, aryl (e.g., phenyl), or linear or branched C4-C24 alkyl; AO at each occurrence is independently ethyleneoxy, propyleneoxy, butyleneoxy, or random or block mixtures thereof; and z represents average number of moles of AO and ranges from 1 to 80.
