International Classification:

A61K 711

US Classification:

424 47, 424 45, 424 7011, 424 7013, 424 7015, 424 7016, 424DIG 1, 424DIG 2

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to low volatile organic compound aerosol hair cosmetic compositions which contain nonionically derivatized starches optionally hydrolyzed and/or ionically modified, about 5-55% propellant, up to 50% solvent, and water. Such compositions provide a clear solution with a low viscosity, good spray caracteristics, a clear, non-tacky film, good stiffness, and improved humidity resistance.

International Classification:

C08J 328

US Classification:

522 80, 522149, 525 90, 525314

Abstract:

Provides high vinyl, radial multi-block styrene-butadiene-styrene-containing hot melt adhesive compositions that are radiation-curable to yield pressure-sensitive adhesive films with improved peel adhesion and cohesive strength, especially at elevated temperatures. These pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes are ideally suited for tape and label applications requiring good cohesive strength at elevated temperatures and yet are readily removed from painted or other surfaces leaving no adhesive residue.
