Abstract: A multicomponent composition for coloration of materials such as keratin fibers, keratin material, keratin textiles including but not limited to hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, skin, nails and animal fiber textiles is disclosed. The multicomponent composition comprises a first component of a CDI link compound having inert or reactive termini and having at least two groups capable of in situ combination with carbodiimide which preferably are acid groups, a second component of a polycarbodiimide terminated by inert or reactive groups, a third component of a polyamine. Optional additional components are also disclosed.

Abstract: A film coating for keratin fibers is described. The film coating is produced by applying to the keratin fibers a pretreatment composition and a film forming composition and curing the compositions to produce the film coating. The coating may be clear and function as a styling, conditioning and holding. The coating alternatively may contain pigment particles and provide a color coating.

Abstract: Aspects of the invention are directed to characteristics and parameters of color coatings on keratin fibers. The color coatings are produced from compositions of several kinds of polymers that enable the color coatings to exhibit adherence, remanence, wear fastness and resistance to environmental attack.

Abstract: A coating, preferably a color coating, method for keratin fibers is described which includes three steps: activation, pretreatment and binding. The activation step includes one or both of a Praeparatur procedure and a Fundamenta procedure to produce modified fibers. The pretreatment step applies a pretreatment composition of at least a PTH alkoxysilane with PTH as a thiol, a protected thiol or a group complementarily reactive with thiol to the modified fibers to form pretreated fibers. The binding step applies a film forming composition to the pretreated fibers to form the color coating.

Abstract: The instant disclosure generally relates to a multicomponent composition for coloring mammalian or synthetic substrate material and textiles, the composition comprising a first and second components and a third component. The first and second components comprise first and second silicone polymers respectively. Any one or more of the first, second and third components may also comprise pigment microparticles. The first, second and third compounds meld together on substrate material and textiles and especially on hair to form a highly remanent colored coating. The multicomponent composition formed and set in situ as a solid linked coating has a substantially permanent pigment lastingness and minimally alters the substrate material and textiles.

Abstract: The methods and compositions of the present invention are directed to coloration of anagenic hair. The methods involve priming and deep cleaning the anagenic hair followed by coating the hair strands with a composite pigment containing film of a small molecule and a film forming composition which covalently interact to form an intimate three dimensional silicone network incorporating the pigment on the surfaces of the hair.
