Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid detergent composition being excellent in detergency and dispersion stability and a process for producing the same. The invention provides a liquid detergent composition having a degree of separation by volume of 5% or less after storage for 1 month at 25° C., comprising a liquid phase as the phase (a), a polymeric dispersant as the component (b)] and at least one selected from the group consisting of a crystalline silicate compound and an aluminosilicate compound as the component (c), wherein the component (b) has a cation exchange capacity of not less than 120 CaCO3 mg/g when the water content of the composition is 5% by weight or less and then the aluminosilicate compound only is used as the component (c) or when the water content of the composition is larger than 5% by weight.

Abstract: The present invention provides a fiber product-treating agent which can impart an excellent wrinkle-resistant effect and an excellent durable press effect to the fiber product capable of being heated and being hardly effected with not only during wearing but also after washing. That is, the present invention provides the treating agent for imparting the durable press configuration on a fiber product by a heating treatment with e.g. an iron, which comprises a specific amount of (i) two or more compounds forming mutually a crosslinked structure by heating and/or (ii) a compound forming a self-crosslinked structure by heating, and water, wherein the content of a nonvolatile matter is 0.01 to 30%.

Abstract: A thermoplastic resin composition comprises a thermoplastic resin (A) and graft copolymer particles (B) having a hollow rubber portion and graft chain, in which a volumetric proportion of hollow part in the hollow rubber portion of the graft copolymer particles is 1 to 70% by volume. The thermoplastic resin composition contains the thermoplastic resin and the graft copolymer particles in a weight ratio (A)/(B) of 2/98 to 100/1. The hollow part in the graft copolymer particle functions to further improve impact resistance.

Abstract: A cationic group-containing copolymer is provided which possesses excellent thixotropy and exhibits high adsorbability to the skin, hair, etc. and, when incorporated as a thickener in cosmetic articles, manifests a very satisfactory tactile sensation. The cationic group-containing copolymer is characterized in that the viscosity at 25.degree. C. of the aqueous solution prepared by incorporating the copolymer in deionized water at a concentration of 0.5 wt. % is in the range of 0.3-20 Pa.multidot.sec. at a shear rate of 1 sec.sup.-1 and in the range of 0.01-5 Pa.multidot.sec. at a shear rate of 10 sec.sup.-1 and the viscosity at a shear rate of 1 sec.sup.-1 is higher than the viscosity at a shear rate of 10 sec.sup.-1.

Abstract: An organopolysiloxane which generates intramolecular or intermolecular cross-linking based on dipole-dipole interaction, hydrogen bonding or ion bonding, and which is not ruptured or plastically deformed at an extension ratio no more than 15% at a temperature of 20.degree. C. under relative humidity of 65%; and a method of setting hair using the same. Hair which is set by the method retains the given shape over time, and the organoplysiloxane imparts a soft touch to the hair. In addition, the shape given by the setting treatment can be easily restored to the original shape by ordinary shampooing.
