Abstract:

The present invention is directed to low volatile organic compound aerosol hair cosmetic compositions which contain nonionically derivatized starches optionally hydrolyzed and/or ionically modified, about 5-55% propellant, up to 50% solvent, and water. Such compositions provide a clear solution with a low viscosity, good spray caracteristics, a clear, non-tacky film, good stiffness, and improved humidity resistance.

10620501, 1062052, 10620572, 1062061, 1062101, 1062155

Abstract:

An aqueous, light weight paper laminating adhesive comprising a continuous aqueous phase of from about 15 to 50% by weight of polysaccharide material dispersed in water, the continuous phase polysaccharide material having a zero-shear viscosity of greater than 0. 07 PaÂs when measured at 26% (+/-1% solids) and a shear rate of 0. 1s ; a shear-thinning index of 0. 90 to 1. 1; and bleed time of greater than 15 seconds. Also disclosed is another adhesive composition, which is particularly useful in non-contact spay applications and comprises the continuous phase polysaccharide phase described above as well as a second component comprising a water swellable, insoluble polysaccharide particulate phase.

International Classification:

A61K 706

US Classification:

424 7011, 424 7013, 424 7015, 424 7016

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to low VOC, non-aerosol hair cosmetic compositions, which contain nonionically modified starches. The starch may be additionally hydrolyzed, particularly enzymatically hydrolyzed. Further, the starch may be modified using ionic substituents. Use of such starches is novel and advantageous in that they provide a clear solution with a low viscosity, and good pump spray characteristics. Further, the resultant composition provides a clear film which is not tacky, good stiffness, and improved humidity resistance.

Abstract:

Selectively cross-linked starches are disclosed that are useful as fluid loss control additives in subterranean treatment fluids comprising starches that cross-linked to a Brabender peak viscosity of about 800 to about 1250 Brabender units after about 40 to about 70 minutes at about 92Â C. and provide good fluid loss control over a temperature range of from about 20Â C. to about 160Â C. (68Â F. to 320Â F. ).

International Classification:

A61K 706

US Classification:

424 7015, 424 7016

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to a low VOC, non-aerosol, polyacrylic acid containing hair cosmetic compositions which contain stabilized starches, particularly those derivatized by alkylene oxides, about 01. -0. 0% polyacrylic acid, up to about 15% solvent, and water. The derivatized starch may be hydrolyzed, particularly enzymatically hydrolyzed by at least one endo-enzyme. In addition, the starch may be cationically modified with a low degree of substitution. Use of such starches is novel and advantageous in that they are compatible with polyacrylic acid, providing a clear, solution with a stable viscosity. Further, the resultant composition provides a clear film which is not tacky, good stiffness, and improved humidity resistance.

International Classification:

A23L 1238

US Classification:

426589, 426576

Abstract:

The present invention provides an efficient acid conversion process by which native and modified starches may be treated to afford products with low viscosity and a higher proportion of lower molecular weight compounds than the corresponding aqueous acid conversion processes. Such converted starches demonstrate unique properties and, accordingly, are useful in a variety of products.
