Disclosed are novel thickened organic fluid/surfactant compositions that are uniform, flowable and dispersible in water. Also disclosed are novel pesticidal compositions comprising a pesticide and the novel thickened organic fluid/surfactant composition.

Thickened organic fluid/surfactant compositions and use thereof in pesticidal compositions

A clear cosmetic gel composition comprising: (a) an aqueous phase comprising: (i) water, and (ii) at least one cosmetically active ingredient; (b) a coupling agent; (c) an oil phase comprising: (i) a silicone-containing solvent, and (ii) an isoparaffin solvent having a boiling range between about 100 to 340&deg; C., wherein the isoparaffin constitutes between about 1 to 75% by weight, of the total of the oil phase; and (d) silicone-containing surfactant.

Use of isoparaffin extenders for clear gel cosmetic compounds

A crosslinking composition including, (a) a major amount of a high molecular weight linear oligomer with at least one functional group and a number average molecular weight per functional group of at least about 1000; (b) a crosslinking agent reactive with the functional groups of the high molecular weight linear oligomer; and (c) a low molecular weight di-(poly)-functional compound having a number average molecular weight per functional group of less than about 400, the functional groups of the low molecular weight di-(poly)-functional compound also being reactive with the cross-linking agent. Crosslinking of the high molecular weight oligomer in the presence of a small amount of the low molecular weight di-(poly)-functional compound provides a crosslinked composition displaying an improved balance of hardness and flexibility.

Composition with improved crosslinking

Polyesterdiols having low viscosities of less than 3500 cps, high content of non-volatile matter in excess of 96 wt %, and narrow molecular weight distribution of less than about 1.4 are prepared by esterification of one or more aliphatic dicarboxylic acids or ester derivatives thereof using at least a 1.5 molar excess of one or more aliphatic diols until an acid number of less than 20 is achieved, and stripping excess diol from the polyesterdiol reaction product. Where esterification catalyst is used, catalyst is substantially removed prior to stripping excess unreacted diol from polyesterdiol reaction product. The polyesterdiols so produced are useful as (i) curable components in thermosettable resin compositions, particularly compositions essentially free of volatile organic solvent and also containing a crosslinking agent and a reactive hardening agent: and/or (ii) useful as coatings, paints and adhesives, providing coatings with very low content of volatile organic compounds.
