Abstract: A spray can product capable of preventing leakage where used or stored in a tilted or an inverted position, and keeping good safety and liquid retention even where a flammable liquefied gas is used. The spray can product is formed by filling a spray can having an ejection opening with a liquefied gas and an absorbing body for retaining liquid, and the absorbing body is composed of an assembly of cellulose fibers containing at least 45 mass % of fine cellulose fibers having a fiber length of 0.35 mm or less. The absorbing body compressed into a block-shaped configuration corresponding to that of the spray can is accommodated within the spray can while defining a space on the side of an ejection opening, and a lid-like member is provided between the space and the absorbing body to protect a surface of the absorbing body in a gas permeable manner.

Abstract: An electrically neutral composition in the form of a water-in-oil or an oil-in-water emulsion is imparted with a unipolar electrostatic charge on spraying from an aerosol spray device by incorporating into the composition a non-ionic surfactant and at least one polar or ionic or aromatic or linearly conjugated compound. The amount of the polar or ionic or aromatic or linearly conjugated compound included in the composition is about 0.01 to about 80% w/w based on the non-ionic surfactant, but is such that the theoretical conductivity of the emulsion is less than the bulk conductivity of the emulsion.

Abstract: An adhesive composition of between 10-70% by weight of a latex emulsion, between 30-80% by weight of an acrylic, between 0.05-5% by weight of a surfactant, and between 1-50% by weight of water, and an adhesive application system for applying the adhesive composition having the adhesive, a propellant, a pressure container for containing the adhesive and the propellant under pressure, and a valve system to regulate the flow of the adhesive and propellant out of the pressure container.

Abstract: An aqueous suspension, stable in physiological medium, of nanoparticles for delivering active principles such as insulin. The delivery particles are based on a three-block copolymer: polyethylene glycol/hydrophilic polyaminoacid/hydrophobic polyaminoacid. These three-block copolymers can be associated with an active principle without denaturing it, and perform a controlled and long-term release of the active principle in vivo, and thus provide the active principle with a very prolonged release. Also disclosed is a powder form solid from which are derived the delivery particles, the preparation of the powder-form solid, a suspension of delivery particles based on the three-block copolymer, and pharmaceutical specialties obtainable from the delivery particles filled with active principle.

Abstract: An aerosol composition which is prepared from a biliquid foam, an aqueous phase and a propellant, and wherein an oil soluble functional material is incorporated into the biliquid foam during preparation to enable this material to be more readily incorporated into the composition. The aerosol composition can be contained in a pressurized aerosol can and can be a polish, an air freshener, a repellant. a pre- or post-shave preparation, a shaving preparation or a follicle softener.

Abstract: An aerosol composition, which is prepared from a biliquid foam, an aqueous phase and a propellant. The incorporation of an oil soluble functional material into the biliquid foam during the preparation of the aerosol composition enables this material to be more readily incorporated into the composition.

Abstract: Disclosed are azeotrope-like compositions comprising 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane and at least one C3 or C4 hydrocarbon, and optionally water, said compositions are environmentally desirable for use as refrigerants, aerosol propellants, metered dose inhalers, blowing agents for polymer foam, heat transfer media, and gaseous dielectrics.

Abstract: A pressurized device comprising an “ultrafine” foaming oil-in-water emulsion wherein the particle size of the oil particles constituting the oil phase ranges from 50 to 1000 nm, the ultrafine emulsion being preferably obtained according to the so-called “phase inversion” technique. These ultrafine oil-in-water emulsions can be employed in particular for cleansing and care of the skin and they are rich in oils, fluid, pressurizable, foaming and translucent.
