  • Patent number: 10357439
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for protecting the skin against UV rays, using two cosmetic compositions for protecting against UV rays, the sun protection indices of which are different from each other, this method consisting in applying to the skin, before or during exposure to sunlight, a first composition having a certain sun protection index, and then in applying, during exposure to sunlight, onto the residual deposit of the first composition, the second cosmetic composition having a sun protection index lower than that of the first composition. This method advantageously makes it possible to not reapply the first composition, but to use a second product that is much more pleasant to use, while at the same time obtaining the level of protection afforded by the deposit of the initial first composition.

  • Patent number: 8541531
    Abstract: The invention is based on the discovery that addition of certain carboxylic acid derivatives of siloxanes to thermosetting adhesive compositions and die-attach pastes renders such compositions and pastes extremely resistant to resin bleed. The present invention provides siloxane-carboxylic acid compounds useful as anti-bleed additives. Also provided are adhesive compositions and pastes containing the compounds of the invention, which are particularly useful in applications that require little to no resin bleed prior to curing of the compositions (such as e.g., electronic packaging applications).
