A process is described for making substantially homogeneous copolymers comprising 20-99% of vinyl pyrrolidone (VP) and 1-80% of N-3,3-dimethylaminopropyl methacrylamide, (DMAPMA), preferably 50-95% VP and 5-50% DMAPMA, and, most preferably, about 80:20, by weight, having a weight average molecular weight of about 200,000 to 1,500,000, as a clear, low viscosity aqueous solution of the homogeneous copolymer, at a 5-20% solids level, preferably about 10-15%, by weight of the solution, having a viscosity of about 5,000 to 80,000 cps, preferably about 10,000 to 70,000 cps. The solution obtained herein has lower viscosity and better clarity, and provides hair care products with enhanced curl retention (hold), when compared to non-homogeneous copolymers of the same composition, or related existing commercial products.

Process for making substantially homogeneous copolymers of vinyl

A process is described for increasing the viscosity and high humidity curl retention of aqueous solutions of homogeneous copolymers of 20-99% vinyl pyrrolidone (VP) and 1-80% N-3,3-dimethylamino-propyl methacrylamide (DMAPMA). The high viscosity solutions are particularly useful as the active component of hair care products.

This invention relates to substantially colorless and odorless vinyl lactam polymers containing less than 100 ppm residual vinyl pyrrolidone and less than 1000 ppm vinyl caprolactam monomers and to the process for producing said polymers in the above state of purity which comprises contacting a vinyl pyrrolidone and/or vinyl caprolactam polymer containing excessive residual monomer with between about 0.1 and about 9 wt. % of porous resin having a sulfonic and/or carboxylic functionality wherein said resin has a particle size between 5 and 500 mesh.

Vinyl pyrrolidone polymers substantially free of vinyl lactam monomers

Low VOC hair spray resin compositions containing homogeneous terpolymers of vinyl pyrrolidone, vinyl caprolactam and 3-(N-dimethylaminopropyl) methacrylamide are described. The hair spray compositions are made using a solution of the terpolymer which is clear and low in viscosity, and which provides a spray of relative small particle size. The hair spray compositions exhibit an effective high humidity curl retention property.

Charge imbalanced polyelectrolyte composition

A solvent for producing emulsifiable concentrates from agriculturally active chemicals which are insoluble in water comprises an alkoxyalkyl lactam such as butoxy propyl pyrrolidone. An agriculturally active chemical and the alkoxyalkyl lactam are admixed optionally with co-solvents, emulsifiers and surfactants to produce a stable emulsifiable concentrate. The concentrate is dilutable with water at the point of use to produce either macro or micro emulsions which are themselves stable to assure even application.
