  • Use of high solids solution of a cationic copolymer in personal care formulations and personal care formulations obtained therefrom
    Patent number: 7951763
    Abstract: Use of an aqueous solution of a cationic copolymer in a personal care composition, characterized in that the cationic copolymer is formed from a cationic monomer and a nonionic monomer, wherein said cationic copolymer has an average molecular weight in the range 30,000 to 300,000 and the aqueous solution has a concentration of 20 to 50% by weight and a viscosity of less than 10,000 cP at 25° C. The invention also comprises cosmetic compositions obtained from the aqueous solution of the cationic copolymer.

  • Fine particle size lime slurries and their production
    Patent number: 7740743
    Abstract: A polymer comprising i) a synthetic polymeric component that has been formed from an ethylenically unsaturated water-soluble or potentially water-soluble monomer and an ethylenically unsaturated monomer carrying a reactive group, wherein the reactive group is directly reactive with a cellulose binding domain protein; and ii) a protein component consisting of a cellulose binding domain protein, wherein the cellulose binding domain protein. The polymer is particularly suitable as a dry strength resin in a paper making process. It can also be used as a wet strength resin, internal sizing agent or surface sizing agent.
