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.

The first and second components comprise first and second compounds 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 keratin material and textiles and especially on hair to form a coating that can be formulated to provide temporary coverage or provide permanent coverage. The multicomponent composition formed and set in situ as a solid linked coating ranges from ready removability to substantially permanent lastingness.

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.

Abstract: The present application provides a low-temperature process to reduce S—S and/or S—H bonds in organic compounds, including sulfur-cured elastomers, which for example, permits the de-crosslinking of the elastomer and recovery of organic polymers from inorganic constituents.

Abstract: The present application relates to polymers of Formula (I), (II) and (III) which, when combined with a silicone elastomer or a silicone pre-elastomer, modifies the properties of the elastomer, for example, by delivering to the elastomer surface enhanced hydrophilic (wettable) and/or antimicrobial properties. The present application also relates to polymers of Formula (I), (II) and/or (III), which have antimicrobial activities. Methods of using the polymers and silicone elastomers coated with the polymers are also included in the application.

Abstract: A disabling device includes an adhesive layer and/or a self-hardening material. The adhesive layer or self-hardening material contacts electrical contacts of an electrical interface.

Abstract: The present application relates to polymers of Formula (I) and (II) which, when combined with a silicone elastomer or a silicone pre-elastomer, modifies the surface properties of the elastomer, for example by making the elastomer surface more hydrophilic or reactive to other compounds resulting in the functionalization of the elastomer surface. Methods of using the polymers and silicone elastomers coated with the polymers are also included in the application.

Abstract: Moisture curable RTV-1 silicone elastomers with hydrophilic surfaces are produced from crosslinkable compositions containing a polyoxyethylene ether glycol terminated with both a C6-22 hydrocarbon group and an alkoxysilyl group.

Abstract: Compounds of the formula where R1 each individually is identical or different and is a hydrocarbon radical, R2 each individually is hydrogen or a methyl radical, n is an integer from 6 to 11, and m is 0 or 1, with the proviso that the sum of the number of carbon atoms in the three radicals R1 in the compound of the formula (I) is 6 to 24, can be admixed with curable polymer compositions to form products with hydrophilic surfaces, or can be applied to surfaces to render them hydrophilic.
