Adsorptive, protein-binding aluminum oxyhydroxides are prepared by mixing carbonate-free, highly hydrated, aluminum oxyhydroxide containing aqueous suspensions with water soluble additives that furnish coordinating moieties with the aluminum compound and drying the resultant mixture. The protein-binding aluminum oxyhydroxides can be made resuspendable by acidifying to a pH value of between about 4 and about 6.5. Such acidification can occur either before or after drying.

Co-dried aluminum oxyhydroxides

Two-thirds to five-sixths basic aluminum chlorides having enhanced antiperspirant efficacy are produced by heating an aqueous solution containing about 40 to about 50 weight percent of the basic aluminum chloride to a temperature of at least about 130 degrees C. for about one to twelve hours in a closed vessel, with the heating time being inversely proportional to the temperature. Five-sixths basic aluminum chlorides treated in this manner are characterized by a size exclusion chromatogram having a single major peak with its apex at a relative retention time of about 0.75-0.79. The basic aluminum chlorides may be incorporated into any of the conventional antiperspirant forms with non-toxic, dermatologically acceptable carriers.

Basic aluminum bromides having a basicity of about 5/6 have been found to be readily soluble in cosmetic solvents such as anhydrous ethanol, to have a high degree of compatibility with halogenated hydrocarbons, and to have excellent astringent characteristics. These properties make the 5/6 basic aluminum bromides particularly suitable for use in anti-perspirant compositions, especially the aerosol sprays.

Basic zirconium gels may be used to form complexes with conventional aluminum and/or zirconium antiperspirant systems. The freshly prepared basic zirconium gels provide both a buffer for the highly acidic aluminum-zirconium complexes and an additional source of zirconium as an active ingredient in the antiperspirant. The preferred basic zirconium gels are basic zirconium-amino acid compounds, particularly basic zirconium glycinates, and the compounds are preferably added to aluminum-zirconium systems in the form of a wet gel. The preferred basic zirconium glycinate is formed by first reacting sodium carbonate with glycine, and then reacting the resulting sodium glycinate with a zirconium oxy or zirconium hydroxy compound to precipitate out the zirconium basic glycinate gel. Zirconium basic carbonates, prepared by reacting sodium carbonate with a zirconium oxy or hydroxy salt, are useful in preparing antiperspirant complexes with lower basic aluminum chlorides (e.g. 1/3 or 2/3 basic), as well as the highly acidic aluminum chloride. Buffers such as urea, amino acids, salts of amino acids, magnesium carbonate, etc. may also be included in the complexes to maintain a pH of at least about 3 in aqueous solutions of the complex. The various complexes of the invention may be used in conventional antiperspirant forms, including aqueous solutions, aerosol sprays, powder-in-oil aerosol sprays, creams, lotions, cream sticks, etc.

Improved antiperspirant stick compositions are provided which comprise a substantially anhydrous, homogeneous mixture of an alcohol soluble astringent basic aluminum compound as the active ingredient in a solid or semi-solid system including an alkylene polyhydric alcohol, a normally solid higher fatty acid amide of an alkylolamine in which the fatty acid radical contains at least 12 carbon atoms and the alkylol groups of the alkylolamine contain from 2 to 3 carbon atoms, and a non-toxic dermatologically acceptable non-aqueous solvent, such as ethanol, for the astringent basic aluminum compound. The mixture provides a highly esthestic, stable and quite effective antiperspirant in stick form suitable for application to the human axilla.

Anhydrous antiperspirant stick compositions

Antacid tablets prepared by codrying certain basic aluminum bicarbonate-carbonate compositions with di- or trihydroxy alcohols suitable for oral ingestion, to obtain a powder material, and forming such a material suitably along with tablet forming ingredients into tablets which have superior mouth feel and which yield faster reaction velocities than prior antacid tablets.

Antacid tablets

Antacid compositions prepared by drying a wet, compressed aluminum hydroxide gel to solid form which are capable of being readily resuspended to yield an opaque, aqueous suspension which reflects the properties of the original compressed gel, are produced by codrying a hydrous, gelatinous aluminum hydroxide material with a di- or trihydroxy alcohol.

Methods of making basic zirconium complexes

Alkali metal and ammonium zirconyl carbonates (AZC) may be used as active antiperspirant ingredients when converted to complexes with various acidic antiperspirant agents, including particularly the highly acidic zirconium compounds. The acidic antiperspirant agent activates the zirconium in the zirconyl carbonate to an acidic, active antiperspirant species. The zirconyl carbonate comprises about 2 to 35 weight percent of the complex, and the antiperspirant activating agent is present in such an amount that the pH of a 5 to 20 weight percent aqueous solution of the complex will be about 3 to 6. Potassium and ammonium zirconyl carbonates are preferred, but sodium may also be used if the complex is kept in solution. The acidic, antiperspirant activating agent is preferably a zirconium oxy salt or zirconium hydroxy salt, such as a zirconium hydroxy halide. However, other water soluble, polyvalent metal salts of strong acids may be used, particularly aluminum halides and basic aluminum compounds. In addition, the complex may include organic complexing agents such as urea, amino acids and hydroxy carboxylic acids. The complexes may be used in various conventional antiperspirant forms, including aqueous solutions, aerosol sprays, powder-in-oil aerosol sprays, creams, lotions, cream sticks, etc.

Staining and discoloration of painted wood surfaces, as a result of bleeding into the top or finish coat of soluble coloring matter and tannins naturally present in the wood, is prevented by coating or impregnating the wood with a basic aluminum compound, particularly with a water soluble basic aluminum halide or derivative thereof. The basic aluminum compound may be applied in aqueous solution or non-pigmented emulsion for prefinishing building lumber, or applied in the form of a pigmented emulsion as a primer coat. The present invention relates to novel methods and compositions for application to the surfaces of woods, particularly to stain-susceptible woods, to prevent their staining or discoloring as a result of tannin and tocopherol or other waste-soluble coloring matter present in the raw wood, bleeding or migrating into a subsequently applied preservative or decorative paint film.

Astringent compositions useful as antiperspirants are provided by forming a complex of a magnesium salt and an astringent zirconium compound, particularly zirconium oxy and hydroxy salts, such that the weight ratio of the zirconium content to the magnesium content in the complex expressed as the oxides will be in the range of about 30:1 to 1:1. The preferred amount of magnesium, expressed as the oxide, in an aqueous antiperspirant solution containing an effective amount of the complex will be greater than about 3 weight percent. Preferred compositions include complexes of magnesium-amino acid salts, such as magnesium glycinate, plus zirconyl hydroxy chloride in which the ratio of zirconium to magnesium is about 10:1 to 3:1 and the total content of magnesium plus zirconium is about 5 to 15 weight percent and preferably about 5 to 10 weight percent, both expressed as the oxides. Buffers such as urea, amino acids, salts of amino acids, etc. may also be included in the complexes to maintain a pH of at least about 3 in aqueous solutions of the complex. The various complexes of the invention may be used in conventional antiperspirant forms, including aqueous solutions, aerosol sprays, powder-in-oil aerosol sprays, creams, lotions, cream sticks, etc.
