Abstract:
This application is directed to compositions of particular combinations of antimicrobial components which may be incorporated into a polymeric molding compositions or polymeric coating compositions. The antimicrobial components include a alkylaminoalkyl(meth)acrylate polymer (b) and antimicrobial metal (a) containing components which lead to improved antimicrobial effects. The compositions are of special interest to durable touch surfaces found in hospitals and clinics. The compositions are also suitable for use in biomaterials such as catheters and the like.
Abstract:
The invention relates to personalcare compositions comprising dye-polymer complexes. Additionally, methods for colouration of personalcare compositions using said dye-polymer complexes are disclosed.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to an antimicrobial metal composite formed by vaporizing an antimicrobial metal or antimicrobial metal salt such as silver, copper or salts thereof using an plasma system and cooling the formed vapor in the presence of a fluidized gas of filler powder. Alternatively, the filler or a filler precursor is entrained with the antimicrobial metal or antimicrobial metal precursor and vaporized and then upon cooling the antimicrobial metal vapor and filler vapor condense to form the composite. The composite shows high antimicrobial activity and can be incorporated into or onto polymers, coatings, textiles, paper, gels (for example for wound care), lubricants, adhesives and cosmetics or pharmaceutical, especially medical devices.
Abstract:
The claims encompass hard surface cleaner and hard surface treatment compositions containing particular ampholytic polymers which impart not only good residua! cleaning properties but in particular give fast drying properties to the cleaning compositions. The polymers are for example terpolymers formed from diallydialkyammonium chloride, anionic monomers and N,N Cdi-C 1 -C 8 alkyl (meth)acrylamides.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to the use of hydrophilic terpolymers in hard surface cleaners which provide easier cleaning for surface soils such as hard water stains, soap scum, limescale, mud, food, toilet stains, oil, grease, particulates and the like as well as anti-fog effects on hard surfaces such as glass, mirrors, ceramic and plastic by causing water droplets to coalesce into a film.

Abstract:
Stable emulsions are obtained via the incorporation of a hydrophobically modified copolymer comprised of diallyldimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC) and diallylamine (DAA) and an optional third monomer. The polymeric emulsifying agent is an effective emulsifier at very low concentration and can be used as a part of, or in the preparation of personal care formulations.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to home or fabric care compositions comprising certain dye-polymer complexes. Additionally, methods for colouration of home or fabric care compositions using said dye-polymer complexes are disclosed.
Abstract:
Cleaning/protectant compositions containing a polyorganosiloxane having one or more piperidinyl functions are useful in the protection of vinyl, plastic and other hard surfaces from environmental exposure such as UV- or oxidation-induced damage.
