Binary polymer mixtures of albumin and glycosaminoglycan and ternary polymer mixtures of polyionic polypeptide and high molecular weight and highly charged polyanions are useful for managing skin including wrinkles or other irregularities. Aqueous compositions of the ternary mixtures have pH dependent phase change properties and provide skin activated films.

Polymer mixtures useful in skin care

The present invention discloses an improved method for forming stable dispersions of particulate matter. In particular, the present invention relates to a method of forming stable dispersions of particulate matter in both organic and silicone-based fluids.

Antifreeze composition and composition concentrates are disclosed which comprise an alcohol, such as, for example ethylene glycol, a surface modifier, such as, for example, an organophosphate which adheres to the interior surfaces of a cooling system, and a pseudo oil, such as, for example a polypropylene glycol, which forms a film on the surface-modified, interior surfaces of the cooling system. Also disclosed are methods of making and using the composition and composition concentrates.

Antifreeze composition concentrate containing oxyalkylene compound and

A durable, effective foam suppressant composition produced through free-radical polymerization of mixtures of polydiorganosiloxanes, silica and a free radical polymerization initiator, and optionally, vinyl monomer(s) and pendant vinyl modified silicone oil, followed by dilution of the resulting reaction product with a low viscosity polysiloxane is disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for its production and use in suppressing foams in liquid mediums.

Silicone antifoams

Topical, particularly light selective, compositions and methods using evaporative solvent, and a 0.5:1 to 20:1 ratio of film-forming polymer to topically active agent provide a microdispersion of agent in a polymer film exhibiting enhanced topical activity.

Potentiation of topical compositions wherein a uniform microdispersion

A process for enhancing the fabrication of thermoplastic polymers entailing the addition of from 0.01 to 1 part, per hundred parts of thermoplastic polymer, of a processing aid, said processing aid comprising a processing additive, such as a silicon or a polyol, and a processing adjuvant, such as a phosphate.

Process for processing thermoplastic polymers

Combinations of glycosaminoglycan and certain cationic polymers provide modified glycosaminoglycan properties and can provide substantivity to keratinous material, compatibility, stability, humectancy, rheology and other properties useful in personal care or medical applications.

Processes for managing keratinous material using glycosaminoglycan and

An environmentally safe method is provided for the removal and disposal of residual water soluble polymers, particularly polyethers, from aqueous waste streams, wherein a pretreated inert inorganic substrate is contacted with the waste stream and the polymer contained therein adsorbed onto the substrate. Thereafter, the polymers are removed from the substrate as CO.sub.2 and water by combustion and the substrate subjected to regenerative conditions for recycling.

A process for enhancing the fabrication of thermoplastic polymers entailing the addition of from 0.01 to 1 part, per hundred parts of thermoplastic polymer, of a processing aid, said processing aid comprising a processing additive, such as a silicone or a polyol, and a processing adjuvant, such as a phosphate.

Glycosaminoglycan and cationic polymer combinations

A process for the selective concentration of metal values in solution wherein said metal-containing solution is contacted with a multiple-phase system having a common solvent, thereby causing the preferential migration of metal values into one phase of said multiple-phase system. The phases of the system may then be isolated and the metal values recovered therefrom by conventional techniques.

Process for the recovery of metal values

A process for the recovery of enzymes from an aqueous system having at least two aqueous phases wherein the partition coefficient with respect to an enzyme may be improved through the addition of organo-compatible, compounds having anionic functionality, such as polyacrylic acid, polyvinyl sulfonate and sodium dodecylsulfate.

Method for improving the partition coefficient in enzyme-containing

A method is provided for increasing the solubility of an enzyme in an aqueous solution comprising providing a water-soluble anionic surfactant to the solution and further providing the solution with a pH above that which result in the formation of an enzyme/surfactant precipitate. The application is further directed to an aqueous solution containing an anionic surfactant and having an enzyme concentration contained therein which is higher than that possible in the absence of the surfactant.

Method of increasing solubility of enzymes

This invention relates to a process for the separation and recovery of particulate matter having an average diameter of about 1 micron or less through the use of aqueous hi-phase systems and the modification of the surface properties of the particulate matter through use of a surfactant to modify its tendency to selectively migrate to one phase of the bi-phase system.

Process for the separation of solid particulate matter

Oil-in-alcohol microemulsion-containing composition concentrate stabilized by at least one emulsifier and containing at least one organic hydrophobizing agent having a metal adsorbing moiety therein. The composition concentrate, when diluted with water, is useful in automotive coolant systems as an antifreeze.
