A polymeric composition is disclosed for use in personal care products. The composition is, at room temperature, a solid solution of a long-chain alcohol having ten to fifty carbon atoms and a polyalkyl[meth]acrylate polymer having some alkyl side chains pendant the ester group having ten to thirty carbon atoms and other alkyl side chains pendant the ester group having one to eight carbon atoms. The polymer can be formed by a transesterification reaction of a polyalkyl[meth]acrylate and the long chain alcohol in the presence of a catalyst.

Polymeric compositions for personal care products

A composition includes at least one hydrophilic polymer containing primary (&#x2014;NH) and/or secondary (&#x2014;NHR) amine groups and at least one saccharide containing a reducible function. A method of increasing the strength of paper includes the step of contacting the paper with a composition comprising (i) at least one hydrophilic polymer containing at least two groups which are independently the same or different a primary amine group or a secondary amine group and at least one saccharide containing a reducible function. A hydrogel composition is formed from a mixture of at least one hydrophilic polymer containing at least two groups which are independently the same or different a primary amine group or a secondary amine group and at least one saccharide containing a reducible function.

Cellulosic composition

Certain substituted amines, alkylenediamines or polyamines, and derivatives of these, are suitable for use in preventing, inhibiting, or otherwise modifying crystalline gas hydrate formation. These inhibitors include compounds from any of the following groups.  The substituents R-Rmay be hydrocarbyl groups or, in some cases, polyhydroxyalkyl groups or (CH)&#x2014;COOin which p is either 1 or 2.

Method for increasing the strength of a cellulosic product

An MDI/polypropylene polyether prepolymer composition consisting essentially of at least 80 wt % perfect prepolymers and less than 2 wt % free MDI monomer suitable for use in polyurethane adhesive compositions optionally also comprising a curative for isocyanate groups.

MDI-based polyurethane prepolymer with low monomeric MDI content

Improved aqueous emulsion vinyl acetate-ethylene (VAE) polymer adhesives for use in packaging applications and on difficult to bond surfaces such as polyethylene, poly(ethylene terephthalate), and oriented polypropylene. The VAE polymers contain about 55-80 wt % vinyl acetate, 15-45 wt % ethylene, and 0-30 wt % of one or more additional ethylenically unsaturated copolymerizable monomer, based on the total weight of monomers. Cast films of the VAE emulsion polymers of this invention should have a tensile storage modulus (test frequency of 6.28 rad/sec) within the area encompassed by the following data points: 1.times.10.sup.5 and 2.times.10.sup.7 dynes/cm.sup.2 at 23.degree. C., and 1.times.10.sup.3 and 2.times.10.sup.6 dynes/cm.sup.2 at 70.degree. C.; preferably within the area encompassed by the following data points: 1.times.10.sup.6 and 1.5.times.10.sup.7 dynes/cm.sup.2 at 23.degree. C., and 3.times.10.sup.4 and 9.times.10.sup.5 dynes/cm.sup.2 at 70.degree. C.
