Abstract: An organic functional silane composition is shown and described herein. An organic functional silane composition comprises a mixture of organic functional silane monomers where at least one of the silane monomers comprises two or more alkoxy groups having C1-C2 alkyl groups and at least one of the silane monomers comprises two or more alkoxy groups having an alkyl group of three or more carbon atoms. The organic functional silane compositions can be employed in a coating composition and can improve one or more properties of the coating including, for example, scrub resistance.

Abstract: The present disclosures are directed to compositions comprising a polymer having branched silicone substituted by at least one alkylcarboxy group in a free or salt form and cross-linked with an alkyl functional cross-linker, which has the benefits of compatibility with hydrophilic ingredients and particulates in personal care components and the resultant personal care applications.

Abstract: A heterogeneous catalyst comprising a metal-containing polymer matrix covalently bonded to a support material and a method of making and using such catalysts. The metal-containing polymer matrix comprises metal nano-particles encapsulated in a polymer matrix, e.g., a siloxane. In one aspect, the metal-containing polymer matrix can be bonded to the support material via a hydrophobic group attached to the support material. The catalyst can be recovered after being used in a metal catalyzed reaction and exhibit excellent catalytic activity upon reuse in subsequent reactions.

Abstract: A personal care composition contains at least one personal care component and at least one end-functionalized ionic silicone.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a personal care composition which contains a crosslinked ionic silicone network wherein the crosslinked ionic silicone network is formed by the ring-opening polymerization of oxirane moiety.

Abstract: The present invention provides curable compositions that are free of metal catalysts including both tin and non-tin metal catalysts. The curable compositions employ a catalyst comprising curable polymers having reactive terminal silyl groups. In particular, a silylated carboxylic acid is an alternative to organotin or other metal catalysts. In addition, the catalyst may be used with an amino-containing adhesion promoter or a mixture of amine-containing adhesion promoters and an amino-containing siloxane. The combination of these materials accelerates the condensation curing of moisture curable silicones/non-silicones even in the absence of a metal-based catalyst.
