Abstract:
A process for making a free-flowing, compressible powder by spraying a selected amount of an aqueous solution of polyvinylpyrrolidone onto a fluid bed containing a predetermined admixture of starch and polyvinylpyrrolidone therein, and drying. An active-containing tablet then is provided by adding an active material, optionally with a lubricant, to such powder, and compressing the admixture into a commercially acceptable tablet.
Abstract:
Natural feel polymers exhibit an advantageous blend of flexibility and a strong affinity to natural fibers imparting a natural feel when applied to keratinbased fibers, e.g. hair, skin, or textiles, e.g. cotton, wool, and are watersoluble and water-resistant. The polymers include repeat units of a monomer (e.g. a-olefin) maleic anhydride alkyl half-ester or full acid, maleamic acid and maleimide, which are derivatized with a polyether amine, optionally, in admixture with a carboxylic acid-containing compound or polymer.
Abstract:
What is described herein is a tough yet flexible polymer which is polyvinyl alcohol grafted with a water or alcohol soluble monomer. The grafted polymer has strong holding properties and high humidity resistance, which are particularly suitable for use in hair styling and skin care products. The grafted polymer preferably is made in a solvent such as water, alcohol and water-alcohol mixtures, in the presence of an initiator.

Abstract:
What is described herein are derivatized polymers of α-olefin-maleic anhydride alkyl half-ester or full acid, preferably the isobutylene compound, optionally with repeat units of maleamic acid and/or its corresponding maleimide therein. These polymers are useful as fixatives in personal care products, such as hair spray compositions, particularly as one-phase, low VOC formulations in pump and aerosol systems, and in anhydrous, alcoholic, aqueous-alcoholic and in high hydrocarbon tolerant solvent formulations. In use, these hair spray compositions dry down to form clear, continuous and defectless films.
