20140213727 | WATER SOLUBLE HIGH SYNDIOTACTIC POLYVINYL ALCOHOL - A water soluble polyvinyl alcohol copolymer having a diad syndiotacticity of greater than about 60% and less than about 70%. In some embodiments, the water soluble polyvinyl alcohol copolymer is soluble in water at a concentration of at least 1 wt % at a temperature of less than 100° C. In other embodiments, the composition is soluble in water at a concentration of at least 5 wt % at a temperature in the range from about 90° C. to less than 100° C. The high solubility of the high syndiotactic poly vinyl alcohols disclosed herein may provide various advantages as described herein, including ease of processing and decreased use of harmful solvents. | 07-31-2014 |
20140163134 | PVOH COPOLYMERS FOR PERSONAL CARE APPLICATIONS - Epilatory compositions may be formed from: 40 to 80 wt % water; 5 to 30 wt % of a mixture of at least one polyvinyl alcohol and at least one polyvinyl alcohol copolymer; 1 to 15 wt % plasticizer, where the plasticizer is a linear or branched composition having from 3 to 15 wt % OH; and up to 40 wt % of one or more additives. Pore strip, keratonic plug removal, and other cosmetic applications may be formed from a similar composition, where the plasticizer is a linear, cyclic, or branched composition having greater than 25 wt % OH; and up to 40 wt % of one or more additives. The adhesive properties of the formulations may be tailored, where a low OH content may result in increased adhesion relative to plasticizers having a high OH content. | 06-12-2014 |
20140161752 | PVOH COPOLYMERS FOR PERSONAL CARE APPLICATIONS - Various cosmetic compositions are disclosed that may be useful in face masks, epilatories, and pore strips. Also disclosed is a method of designing a cosmetic composition that may include: receiving a request to tailor a cosmetic composition to have a selected property or a selected property set. The method may be used to design and manufacture cosmetic compositions, such as epilatory compositions, face or skin care mask compositions used for cleansing and/or exfoliating the skin, and eyeliners, among others, having advantageous properties. | 06-12-2014 |
20140110301 | PVP COPOLYMER FOR HARSH CHEMICAL PACKAGING - A water soluble film useful in unit-dose chemical packaging is disclosed. The film may include: a water soluble saccharide and a polyvinyl alcohol copolymer consisting essentially of: (a) from 80 to 99 mole percent of vinyl alcohol and vinyl ester monomer; and (b) from 1 to 20 mole percent of a pyrrolidone comonomer. Such compositions may be used to provide a water-soluble film simultaneously satisfying requirements in regard to water solubility, biodegradability, and physical properties, even when used for packaging of harsh, oxidizing chemicals. | 04-24-2014 |
