Abstract:
An inverse dispersion comprising i) at least one cationic polymer obtainable by the polymerization of a) at least one cationic monomer and optionally at least one nonionic monomer (compound A), b) optionally at least one crosslinker (compound B), c) optionally at least one chain transfer agent (compound C), ii) at least one stabilizing agent, wherein the stabilizing agent has one or more hydrophobic chains with more than 30 carbon atoms, iii) at least one non-aqueous carrier.
Abstract:
A process for obtaining a cationic polymer is disclosed. The cationic polymer is obtained by polymerization of at least one cationic monomer, at least one crosslinker and optionally further monomers, such as nonionic monomers, associative monomers and/or chain transfer agents. The cationic polymer has an at least bimodal molecular weight distribution with at least one first peak (P1) and at least one second peak (P2), wherein the first peak has a lower average sedimentation coefficient of 100 Sved and the second peak has a higher average sedimentation coefficient of 1000 Sved. The polymerization is carried out in two subsequent steps I) and II). In step II), the crosslinker is either completely absent or present in a very limited amount. Step II) is carried out after the polymerization of step I) is finished or vice versa.

Poly(oxyalkylene)urethane surfactants of the formula (I) R2—X—OCHN—[R1—NHCO—O—[(CH2)q—O]x—CONH—]nR1—NHCO—X—R2 (I) in which R1: an alkylene radical, a cycloalkylene radical or an arylene radical; X: —O— or —NH—; R2: a linear or branched (C1-C4)-alkyl radical, monosubstituted by a group selected from: sulfo, carboxyl and [N,N-di-(C1-C4)-alkyl]amino, or disubstituted by: carboxyl; carboxyl and hydroxyl; carboxyl and mercapto; or, if X=—O—, R2 may also be defined as [R3—O—CONH—R1—NHCO—O—]mR4 in which R3: a linear or branched (C1-C4)-alkylene radical, monosubstituted by COOH, especially a —CH2—[C(COOH)(CH3)]—CH2— radical, R1 is as defined above, and R4: C2-C22-alkyl or a —CH2—[C(COOH)(CH3)]—CH2—OH radical, and m=an integer from 1 to 10; n=an integer from 1 to 7; q=an integer from 3 to 5; and x=an integer from 10 to 70; and the water-soluble or water-dispersible salts thereof are described as a solubilizer and stabilizer in active ingredient formulations.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an inverse dispersion including at least one cationic polymer and at least one stabilizing agent as well as at least a tri- and/or polyfunctional crosslinker wherein the stabilizing agent has one or more hydrophobic chains with more than 30 carbon atoms. The polymer is obtainable by polymerizing at least one cationic monomer and optionally at least one nonionic monomer. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a process for manufacturing the inverse dispersion by inverse emulsion polymerization.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to hydrophobically modified cationic polymers obtainable by the polymerization of one or more cationic ethylenically unsaturated monomers with an ethylenically unsaturated monomer having anhydride, imide, lactone, carboxylic acid, isocyanate or blocked isocyanate group and a reactive siloxane and processes for preparing them. These polymers are useful i.a. as a depositioning aid of hydrophobic actives onto fibrous substrates.
