  • Patent number: 8202608
    Abstract: A printing method and composition that is constructed from an electrostatically charged sheet having a top and bottom surface and a backing sheet. The backing sheet includes a sheet of paper having top and bottom surfaces. The top surface includes a binding material preferably having a dielectric constant greater than that of the paper. The top surface of the backing sheet is in contact with the bottom surface of the electrostatically charged sheet and retained by an attractive force. The binding material is preferably chosen to provide an electrostatic attraction between the electrostatically charged sheet and the backing sheet of approximately between 4 g/inch and 80 g/inch. The charged sheet can be constructed from plastic polymers, while the binding material can be constructed from a mixture of polymers, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyurethane.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5281409
    Abstract: An aerosol antiperspirant composition capable of being dispensed from aerosol containers with reduced mistiness and dustiness is provided, which comprises by weight:(A) from about 0.1 to about 5.0% of a compound comprising by weight (1) from about 60% to about 95% of a silicone gum and (2) about 5% to about 20% of an untreated reinforcing silica filler or about 5% to about 40% of a treated reinforcing silica filler;(B) from about 3% to about 20% of a diluent fluid selected from a volatile silicone or organic fluid and a mixture of a volatile silicone fluid and a non-volatile organic or silicone fluid;(C) an antiperspirant salt in an amount within the range from about 2 to about 20%; and(D) a liquefied propellant in an amount within the range from about 50% to about 90%.Preferably, the composition further comprises about 0.1% to about 3% of a bulking agent and about 0.1% to about 3% of a polar organic solvent.

  • Patent number: 4725658
    Abstract: There are provided novel silicone-ester waxes having the general unit formula ##EQU1## where R is hydrogen or an organic radical, R.sup.1 is an ester-containing radical having at least 12 carbon atoms, a and b are independently selected integers from 0 to 3 inclusive, and the sum of a+b has an average value from about 1.0 to about 3.0, with the proviso that there is present at least one R.sup.1 radical.
