  • Patent number: 5961669
    Abstract: A process for dying materials containing natural or synthetic polyamides is disclosed. The process includes immersing the materials to be dyed in a dye bath containing an acid dye. The pH of the dye bath is initially at a level that substantially inhibits the dye from being absorbed by the polymer. In accordance with the present invention, however, an acid producing composition is added to the bath which gradually reduces the pH of the bath and allows for uniform diffusion of the dye into the polymer. The acid producing composition of the present invention is a maleate ester, which, in one embodiment, is the reaction product of maleic acid or maleic anhydride and a glycol.

  • Patent number: 5888251
    Abstract: Hair upon the scalp or eyelashes are treated with hair coloring or mascara compositions in hair or eyelash coloring methods. The hair is typically colored with a mascara brush to achieve streaking and a non-homogenous coloring of the hair upon the scalp or the eyelash. A copaiba resin and a metal containing pigment are combined to obtain the hair coloring product. The resultant product is applied to the hair upon the scalp or the eyelash to effect coloring of the hair upon the scalp or the eyelash.
