Abstract:
Clear, high load water miscible emulsions of pyrethroid insecticides or triazole fungicides, as a single phase, translocatable composition which is free of xylene and alkylphenol ethoxylate surfactants and concentrate matrix for the active agricultural component at between about 5 and about 25 wt. % active concentration.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a biocidal composition resistant to the formation of a gel and to the method for stabilizing a concentrate containing, in addition to the biocide, a carbodiimide in monomeric or polymeric form or a mixture thereof and a lipophilic/hydrophilic emulsifier mixture having a HLB of at least 7 comprising an oil and an alkoxylated ester of a polyhydroxylated compound, by adding to the concentrate between about 0.5 and about 15 wt. % of a saturated, aliphatic compound having a molecular weight of less than 400, selected from the group consisting of a polyhydroxyated alkanol and/or a polyhydroxylated ketone.
Abstract:
A stable, non-aqueous gum slurry which can be readily pumped or metered into a given formulation without swelling the gum or causing an excessive increase in viscosity, comprising a gum, a low molecular weight liquid polyethylene glycol as a non-solvent, and dissolved therein, a high molecular weight, solid polyethylene glycol as viscosifier.
Abstract:
A polymer useful in oral care compositions which has a reactive group covalently bonded to a bactericide, flavorant and/or essential oil compound, said bond being hydrolyzable in aqueous solution to slowly release said compound into said composition.
Abstract:

Abstract:
Described herein is a class of non-homopolymers polymerized from at least: (A) 10-22 mole percent of at least one N-vinyl lactam, (B) 30-35 mole percent of at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, and combinations thereof, (C) 40-52 mole percent of at least one (meth)acrylate of a straight- or branched-chain alkyl alcohol, and (D) 5-20 mole percent of at least one (meth)acrylate of a saturated or unsaturated cyclic alcohol having 6 to 20 carbon atoms. In one embodiment, the non-homopolymers exhibit solubility in the lower molecular weight alcohols. The non-homopolymers may be used in personal care or performance chemicals compositions. In one embodiment, the polymers are used in various personal care formulations, such as used for skin, sun, hair, and preservatives.
