Abstract:
The present invention provides greater than 99 % pure bis(triorganosilyl)hydroxycarboxylates of the general formulae: R3SiO-CHR -COO-SiR3 and R3SiO-CHR -R COO-SiR3 wherein each R is independently a monovalent straight or branched chain alkyl or alkenyl group having from 1 to about 6 carbon atoms, or an aryl group, R may be hydrogen, a monovalent straight or branched chain alkyl group having from 1 to about 18 carbon atoms, or an aryl group, and R is a divalent straight or branched chain alkyl group having from 1 to about 18 carbon atoms, an aryl group, or a straight or branched chain alkaryl group having from 7 to about 18 carbon atoms; a process for producing the bis(trimethylsilyl)-hydroxycarboxylates comprising the trimethylsilylation with hexamethyldisilazane of the corresponding hydroxy carboxylic acids; cosmetic formulation comprising the greater than 99 % pure bis(trimethylsilyl)hydroxycarboxylates dissolved in aprotic media; and a method of delivering hydroxycarbxylic acids to the epidermis without apparent irritation or inflammation of the epidermis or stratum corneum.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to cosmetic or dermatological compositions containing PQQ or its esters, methods of treating or promoting skin changes by topical application of these compositions, and methods of synthesis of PQQ esters. The PQQ ester-containing compositions of the present invention are unexpectedly effective in treating skin, particularly with respect to skin tolerance. When included in a topical composition, the PQQ esters of the present invention have an antioxidant effect that is useful in treating a skin change.

Abstract:
Temperature control device for controlling a temperature of a substance to obtain a first temperature (T1) and to change to a second temperature (T2). The system has a first heating block (27(1)) and a second heating block (29(1) and a heating device (47). The heating device (47) heats the first heating block (27(1)) to the first temperature (T1) and heats the second heating block (29(1)) to the second temperature (T2). The temperature control device has a first material (27(2)) opposing the first heating block ((27(1)) such as to define a first space between them arranged to receive the substance and to define a first temperature zone (27(3)) having substantially the first temperature (T1). The temperature control device has a second material (29(2)) opposing the second heating block ((27(1)) such as to define a second space between them arranged to receive the substance and define a second temperature zone (29(3)) having substantially the second temperature (T2), the first and second spaces being arranged such that the substance can be moved from the first temperature zone ((27(3)) to the second temperature zone ((29(3)).
Abstract:
There are provided aqueous emulsions useful for rendering porous substrates water repellent comprising a) a hydrolyzable silane and/or siloxane, b) an organopolysiloxane resin consisting of R3SiO0.5 siloxane units and SiO2 siloxane units, or R3SiO0.5 units, R2SiO units, and SiO2 siloxane units, c) a filler having a surface area of at least 40 m2/g, d) an emulsifying agent, and e) water. Such compositions are especially useful on masonry exposed to wind-driven rain.
