Novel conditioning polymers containing (meth) acrylamidopropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride, meth (acrylic acid) or 2-(meth)acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid and, optionally, a C-Calkyl (meth) acrylate and the use thereof in a cosmetically acceptable medium for the treatment of a keratin-containing substrate are disclosed.

Ampholyte polymers for use in personal care products

A lightweight concrete composition containing from 10 to 90 volume percent of a cement composition, from 10 to 90 volume percent of particles having an average particle diameter of from 0.2 mm to 8 mm, a bulk density of from 0.03 g/cc to 0.64 g/cc, an aspect ratio of from 1 to 3, and from 0 to 50 volume percent of aggregate, where the particles contain an antimicrobial agent; where the sum of components used does not exceed 100 volume percent, and where after the lightweight concrete composition is set it has a compressive strength of at least 1700 psi as tested according to ASTM C39 after seven days. The concrete composition can be used to make concrete masonry units, construction panels, dining tables, counter surfaces, bench tops, and/or examination tables as well as other articles.

Lightweight concrete compositions containing antimicrobial agents

Novel water soluble polymers in solution or water-in-oil emulsion form are disclosed containing quaternary ammonium monomers; and optionally (meth)acrylic acid or 2-(meth)acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid; methylene bis-acryamide and the like; and a C -C alkyl (meth) acrylate acrylamide or methacrylamide and the use thereof in hair, skin and nail conditioning; papermaking; and subterranean well drilling and well cementing operations.

Water soluble polymer composition and method of use

Novel branched or crosslinked polymers containing (meth)acrylamidopropyltrimethyl ammonium halide; (meth)acrylic acid or 2-(meth)acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid; methylene bis-acryamide and the like; and a C -C alkyl (meth) acrylate and the use thereof in papermaking, subterranean well drilling and well cementing operations is disclosed.

Ampholyte polymer composition and method of use

Disclosed are novel aqueous modified starch solutions, such solutions can contain high levels of the modified starch and remain stable such that on standing, the solution does not form a precipitate, become a non pourable gel, separate or spoil due to attack from microorganisms. The use of the novel aqueous modified starch solutions in a cosmetically acceptable medium for the treatment of a keratin-containing substrate is also disclosed.

Modified starch solutions and their use in personal care

Dispersing agents and their use

A hair conditioning shampoo composition is disclosed that contains (a) a surfactant component that can contain anionic surfactants and/or amphoteric surfactants (optionally including zwitterionic and nonionic surfactants), (b) a dispersed, insoluble, nonionic silicone hair conditioning agent, (c) a water soluble, organic, ampholytic polymer hair conditioning agent; and (d) an aqueous carrier. The conditioning shampoo composition optionally contains an organic, water insoluble, liquid.

Conditioning shampoo compositions

A keratin conditioning composition is disclosed that contains (a) a surfactant component that can contain anionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, cationic surfactants, nonionic surfactants and/or zwitterionic, (b) a water soluble, organic, ampholytic polymer conditioning agent, (c) a water soluble, organic, cationic polymer conditioning agent; (d) optionally a water insoluble liquid; and (e) an aqueous carrier. The conditioning composition optionally contains a silicone and/or an organic, water insoluble, liquid. The conditioning composition according to the present invention is useful in cleaning and/or conditioning keratin based substrates, such as hair, skin, and nails.
