Abstract: The present invention describes a means for fixing skin care ingredients on the surface of non-woven webs and cellulosic mats. The active ingredients can be released (deposited) onto the skin by normal triggering mechanisms, which include the action of water or urine or by friction or rubbing. The fixative systems described herein provide the ability to control high load levels while not interfering with the wettabliity of the fabric or paper. Additionally, incompatible/reactive ingredients can be treated onto the same web and are kept as separate particles fixed to the surface until released.

Abstract: This invention relates to a two-part system useful for treating proteinaceous substrates. The two-part system has a first part comprising a water-soluble/dispersible reactive polyimido compound and a second part comprising a nucleophilic catalytic agent. The polyimido compounds may be selected from the group consisting of polysuccinimide compounds, polyglutimide compounds, and copolymers of thereof. The polyimido compound may also comprise a functionalizing moiety that provides functionality to the polyimido compound and is preferably derived from a nucleophilic moiety selected from the group consisting of amines, alcohols, phenols, thiols, and carboxylates; and a water-solubilizing/dispersing moiety that provides water-solubility and/or water-dispersibility to the polyimido compound and is preferably derived from a nucleophilic moiety selected from the group consisting of amines, alcohols, phenols, thiols, and carboxylates.

Abstract: This invention relates to water-soluble/dispersible reactive functionalized imido and polyimido compounds, wherein the polyimido compounds may be selected from the group consisting of polysuccinimide compounds, polyglutimide compounds, and copolymers of thereof. The polyimido compound comprises a functionalizing moiety F that provides functionality to the polyimido compound and is preferably derived from a nucleophilic moiety selected from the group consisting of amines, alcohols, phenols, thiols, and carboxylates; and a water-solubilizing/dispersing moiety that provides water-solubility and/or water-dispersibility to the polyimido compound and is preferably derived from a nucleophilic moiety selected from the group consisting of amines, alcohols, phenols, thiols, and carboxylates. The invention also pertains to a proteinaceous substrate to which the imido or polyimido compound has been covalently bonded and to a method for treating a proteinaceous substrate with the imido or polyimido compound.

Abstract: This invention relates to flexible epoxy resins that have a structural composition comprising an oligomeric backbone of alkylene or alkyleneoxy repeat units, terminated with an aromatic moiety bearing one or more epoxy functionalities.

Abstract: A coating composition for concrete that is an effective water barrier and that is relatively easily removed comprises an acrylic copolymer or a styrene copolymer latex and a polysaccharide. The polysaccharide makes the coating composition susceptible to enzyme action and thus easily removable by flooding the surface of the coated concrete with a dilute solution of enzyme reactive with the polysaccharide.
