Abstract: The invention presented in this application relates to a fragrance deposition system for high surfactant applications such as shampoo and body wash. The system will provide a long lasting release of the fragrance and is more efficient at low levels and does not deposit particles that can cause adverse properties.

Abstract: Method for preparing an active-containing starch matrix and the free flowing, dry powder that results from such a process. The active ingredients can be released (deposited) onto a surface by normal triggering mechanisms, which include the action of a liquid or by friction or rubbing. The fixative systems described herein provide the ability to control high load levels and protection of the active while still being able to delivery this to a substrate when triggered. Additionally, ingredients incompatible and reactive with each other can be blended together as sold/used as a one piece system and no reactions will occur until the matrix is broken or triggered.

Abstract: A fiberglass non-woven binder composition containing a carboxy-functional copolymer binder crosslinker and a compound capable of forming a hydrogen-bonding complex with the carboxy-functional copolymer binder. The binder composition provides a strong, yet flexible bond that allows a compressed fiberglass mat to easily expand once the compression is released. The binder composition is capable of being cured at lower cure temperatures than those binders prepared using conventional crosslinkers.

Abstract: The present invention provides an efficient acid conversion process by which native and modified starches may be treated to afford products with low viscosity and a higher proportion of lower molecular weight compounds than the corresponding aqueous acid conversion processes. Such converted starches demonstrate unique properties and, accordingly, are useful in a variety of products.

Abstract: The present invention relates to biodegradable chemical compositions wherein core substrates, particularly oil well chemicals, are adsorbed onto particulate starch, particularly granular starch, providing a stable, controlled release formulation suitable for use in oil field applications. The invention further relates to the process of preparing obtaining these compositions.

Abstract: A stable, solid product of selected starches, active agricultural agents and optionally surfactants and or adjuvants which is readily dispersible in aqueous medium and compatible when dispersed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a liquid starch dispersion for paper coating where the dispersion has 5 to 50 percent by weight of starch, and the starch contains from 20 to 100 percent by weight of at least one cationic starch. The liquid starch composition is characterized in that a 25 percent by weight starch solids dispersion has a 25° C. viscosity of from 500 to 2500 cps both initially, and also upon storage at room temperature for 90 days. The dispersion preferably contains a blend of cationic starch and ASA starch. The liquid starch dispersion is useful in paper and paperboard coating processes, as a rheology modifier, a structurant, and/or a binder, all at the same time. The liquid starch dispersion provides good coating holdout, gloss, and stiffness properties. The cationic nature of the starch coating improves printability with anionic inks, and makes the coatings useful for ink-jet and photographic papers.

Abstract: A stable, solid product of selected starches, active agricultural agents and optionally surfactants and or adjuvants which is readily dispersible in aqueous medium and compatible when dispersed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a film, particularly an oral film, which contains starch as the main component. Such film is useful for delivering a variety of agents to humans and other animals to produce a therapeutic, organoleptic, or cosmetic effect, including breath fresheners, flavors, fragrances and pharmaceuticals.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a low VOC, non-aerosol, polyacrylic acid containing hair cosmetic compositions which contain stabilized starches, particularly those derivatized by alkylene oxides, about 01.-0.0% polyacrylic acid, up to about 15% solvent, and water. The derivatized starch may be hydrolyzed, particularly enzymatically hydrolyzed by at least one endo-enzyme. In addition, the starch may be cationically modified with a low degree of substitution. Use of such starches is novel and advantageous in that they are compatible with polyacrylic acid, providing a clear, solution with a stable viscosity. Further, the resultant composition provides a clear film which is not tacky, good stiffness, and improved humidity resistance.

Abstract: Selectively cross-linked starches are disclosed that are useful as fluid loss control additives in subterranean treatment fluids comprising starches that cross-linked to a Brabender peak viscosity of about 800 to about 1250 Brabender units after about 40 to about 70 minutes at about 92° C. and provide good fluid loss control over a temperature range of from about 20° C. to about 160° C. (68° F. to 320° F.).

Abstract: The present invention is directed to low VOC, non-aerosol hair cosmetic compositions, which contain nonionically modified starches. The starch may be additionally hydrolyzed, particularly enzymatically hydrolyzed. Further, the starch may be modified using ionic substituents. Use of such starches is novel and advantageous in that they provide a clear solution with a low viscosity, and good pump spray characteristics. Further, the resultant composition provides a clear film which is not tacky, good stiffness, and improved humidity resistance.
