Abstract: The invention relates to a polyesteramide resin containing ester groups and at least one amide group in the back-bone characterized in that it has at least one hydroxyalkylamide endgroup, and a Tg<0° C.

Abstract: There is disclosed certain hyperbranched polyester amides with a cloud point of at least 50° C. in water with end groups selected from: two or more i] tertiary amine functional end groups ii) ammonium functional end groups, iii) polyalkylene glycol functional end groups; iv) quaternary ammonium zwitterionic end groups and/or v) other ionic groups (such as phosphate or sulfate), that are useful in various end uses such as a flocculant.

Abstract: There is disclosed certain hyperbranched polyester amides with a cloud point of at least 50° C. with end groups selected from: betaine-type end groups useful in various end uses such as a flocculant.

Abstract: The invention relates to aqueous compositions comprising an anionic surfactant and a hyperbranched polyesteramide having at least one quarternized amine end-group. The compositions, in particular in the form of shampoo preparations are suited for increasing the volume of hair treated therewith. Furthermore, such compositions provide styling attributes and increase the wet-combability of hair.

Abstract: There is disclosed use of hyperbranched polyester amides as a foamer to stabilize mixtures of oil and water especially for mixtures found in gas and/or oil wells to facilitate extraction of the well contents.
