Abstract: A fluid personal care product, such as a shampoo or a liquid soap, comprising a fragrance, which fragrance is at least partially dissolved in a silicone oil. Preferably the silicone oil-soluble components of the fragrance are pre-dissolved in silicone oil and added separately from the non-soluble components. The fragrance in such a product remains substantially longer on skin and hair than is the case with conventional products with the same fragrance.

Abstract: A composite coating for objects subjected to high thermal stresses.This composite coating comprises a first layer made of a material suitable for ensuring heat control, an intermediate layer made of a transparent, amorphous inorganic substance insensitive to water and alcohol, and a third layer, or outer layer, made of a conducting transparent material, the coefficient of thermal expansion of the transparent, amorphous inorganic substance forming the intermediate layer being between the coefficients of thermal expansion of the materials forming the first and third layers of the composite coating. A process for the production of a composite coating of this type.Application to satellites and spacecrafts.
