Definitions
- This invention relates to multi-associative polymers, their production and their use as rheology modifiers for water-and/or oil-based compositions, especially for water-and/or oil-based personal care products.
- Rheology modifiers are used generally to adjust or modify the rheological properties of formulations. Such properties include, without limitation, viscosity, flow rate, stability to viscosity change over time, and the ability to suspend particles in such formulations.
- Thickeners are used extensively in personal care compositions such as cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations, to affect the aesthetics, product application and suspension and de- livery of the active raw materials.
- the aim of the present invention was to find a polymer, which has advantages over the prior art in important characteristics, such as good rheology properties but also good properties relating to the transparency of the formulations.
- Associative thickeners are well known. They comprise hydrophilic, water-soluble polymers with hydrophobic terminal groups or side chains.
- the hydrophobic terminal groups may be aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons and they are water insoluble. They can be joined to the hydrophilic polymer backbone by means of a hydrophilic spacer so that they remain flexible. Their structure is similar to that of surfactants. Interaction between the hydrophobic groups or side chains is what is considered to provide for very high viscosity.
- associative thickeners there are various types of associative thickeners but those that are of particular interest in connection with the present invention are the hydrophobic alkali-soluble emulsions in which the hydrophilic polymer backbone comprises an alkali soluble polyacrylate derived from monomers such as alkyl acrylates for example ethyl acrylate and methyl acrylate and acrylic acid and/or methacrylic acid.
- the hydrophobic side chains are attached to the polymer backbone by, for example, a polyoxyethylene oxide spacer.
- the thickening effect can be adjusted by altering the ratios of the monomers. All this is well known. Examples of associative thickeners used as paint thickeners, printing pastes and the like are disclosed in European Patent Specification

Description
Copolymers and their use as rheology modifier
This invention relates to multi-associative polymers, their production and their use as rheology modifiers for water-and/or oil-based compositions, especially for water-and/or oil-based personal care products. Rheology modifiers are used generally to adjust or modify the rheological properties of formulations. Such properties include, without limitation, viscosity, flow rate, stability to viscosity change over time, and the ability to suspend particles in such formulations.
Thickeners are used extensively in personal care compositions such as cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations, to affect the aesthetics, product application and suspension and de- livery of the active raw materials.
It is standard practice to include viscosifying (co-)polymers in personal care product composition in order to achieve optimum rheology characteristics. Various polymer types have been proposed for the purpose of increasing the viscosity of personal care compositions.
The aim of the present invention was to find a polymer, which has advantages over the prior art in important characteristics, such as good rheology properties but also good properties relating to the transparency of the formulations.
Associative thickeners are well known. They comprise hydrophilic, water-soluble polymers with hydrophobic terminal groups or side chains. The hydrophobic terminal groups may be aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons and they are water insoluble. They can be joined to the hydrophilic polymer backbone by means of a hydrophilic spacer so that they remain flexible. Their structure is similar to that of surfactants. Interaction between the hydrophobic groups or side chains is what is considered to provide for very high viscosity. There are various types of associative thickeners but those that are of particular interest in connection with the present invention are the hydrophobic alkali-soluble emulsions in which the hydrophilic polymer backbone comprises an alkali soluble polyacrylate derived from monomers such as alkyl acrylates for example ethyl acrylate and methyl acrylate and acrylic acid and/or methacrylic acid. The hydrophobic side chains are attached to the polymer backbone by, for example, a polyoxyethylene oxide spacer. The thickening effect can be adjusted by altering the ratios of the monomers. All this is well known. Examples of associative thickeners used as paint thickeners, printing pastes and the like are disclosed in European Patent Specification
0 216 479. Other associative thickeners are described in detail in European Patent Specifications 0 013 836 and 0 011 806. These can be used in the present invention subject to their being modified in accordance with the definition of the invention as set out above.
The novel and improved copolymer dispersions of the present invention are those obtained by aqueous emulsion copolymerisation of monomers defined below.

Typical examples of bacteria-inhibiting agents are preservatives that have a specific action against gram-positive bacteria, such as 2,4,4'-trichloro-2'-hydroxydiphenyl ether, chlorhexi- dine (1 ,6-di(4-chlorophenyl-biguanido)hexane) or TCC (3,4,4'-trichlorocarbanilide). A large number of aromatic substances and ethereal oils also have antimicrobial properties. Typical examples are the active ingredients eugenol, menthol and thymol in clove oil, mint oil and thyme oil. A natural deodorizing agent of interest is the terpene alcohol farnesol (3,7,11- trimethyl-2,6,10-dodecatrien-1-ol), which is present in lime blossom oil. Glycerol monolaurate
has also proved to be a bacteriostatic agent. The amount of the additional bacteria-inhibiting agents present is usually from 0.1 wt-% to 2 wt-%, based on the solids content of the preparations.
Perfume oils: There may be mentioned as perfume oils mixtures of natural and/or synthetic aromatic substances. Natural aromatic substances are, for example, extracts from blossom (lilies, lavender, roses, jasmine, neroli, ylang-ylang), from stems and leaves (geranium, patchouli, petit- grain), from fruit (aniseed, coriander, carraway, juniper), from fruit peel (bergamot, lemons, oranges), from roots (mace, angelica, celery, cardamom, costus, iris, calmus), from wood (pinewood, sandalwood, guaiacum wood, cedarwood, rosewood), from herbs and grasses (tarragon, lemon grass, sage, thyme), from needles and twigs (spruce, pine, Scots pine, mountain pine), from resins and balsams (galbanum, elemi, benzoin, myrrh, olibanum, opoponax). Animal raw materials also come into consideration, for example civet and cas- toreum. Typical synthetic aromatic substances are, for example, products of the ester, ether, aldehyde, ketone, alcohol or hydrocarbon type. Aromatic substance compounds of the ester type are, for example, benzyl acetate, phenoxyethyl isobutyrate, p-tert-butylcyclohexyl acetate, linalyl acetate, dimethylbenzylcarbinyl acetate, phenylethyl acetate, linalyl benzoate, benzyl formate, ethylmethylphenyl glycinate, allylcyclohexyl propionate, styrallyl propionate and benzyl salicylate. The ethers include, for example, benzyl ethyl ether; the aldehydes in- elude, for example, the linear alkanals having from 8 to 18 hydrocarbon atoms, citral, citron- ellal, citronellyl oxyacetaldehyde, cyclamen aldehyde, hydroxycitronellal, lilial and bourgeo- nal; the ketones include, for example, the ionones, α,α-isomethylionone and methyl cedryl ketone; the alcohols include, for example, anethol, citronellol, eugenol, isoeugenol, geraniol, linalool, phenyl ethyl alcohol and terpinol; and the hydrocarbons include mainly the terpenes and balsams. It is preferable, however, to use mixtures of various aromatic substances that together produce an attractive scent. Ethereal oils of relatively low volatility, which are chiefly used as aroma components, are also suitable as perfume oils, e.g. sage oil, camomile oil, clove oil, melissa oil, oil of cinnamon leaves, lime blossom oil, juniper berry oil, vetiver oil, olibanum oil, galbanum oil, labolanum oil and lavandin oil. Preference is given to the use of bergamot oil, dihydromyrcenol, lilial, lyral, citronellol, phenyl ethyl alcohol, α,α-hexyl cinna- maldehyde, geraniol, benzyl acetone, cyclamen aldehyde, linalool, boisambrene forte, am- broxan, indole, hedione, sandelice, lemon oil, tangerine oil, orange oil, allyl amyl glycolate, cyclovertal, lavandin oil, muscatel sage oil, α-damascone, bourbon geranium oil, cyclohexyl salicylate, vertofix coeur, iso-E-Super, Fixolide NP, evernyl, iraldein gamma, phenylacetic
acid, geranyl acetate, benzyl acetate, rose oxide, romillat, irotyl and floramat alone or in admixture with one another.
Colourants:
There may be used as colourants the substances that are suitable and permitted for cos- metic purposes, as compiled, for example, in the publication "Kosmetische Farbemittel" of the Farbstoffkommission der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft, Verlag Chemie, Wein- heim, 1984, pages 81 to 106. The colourants are usually used in concentrations of from 0.001 wt-% to 0.1 wt-%, based on the total mixture.
Other adjuvants: It is furthermore possible for the personal care composition to contain, as adjuvants, anti- foams, such as silicones, structurants, such as maleic acid, solubilisers, such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerol or diethylene glycol, opacifiers, such as latex, styrene/PVP or styrene/acrylamide copolymers, complexing agents, such as EDTA, NTA, alaninediacetic acid or phosphonic acids, propellants, such as propane/butane mixtures, N2O, dimethyl ether, CO2, N2 or air, so-called coupler and developer components as oxidation dye precursors, reducing agents, such as thioglycolic acid and derivatives thereof, thiolactic acid, cys- teamine, thiomalic acid or mercaptoethanesulphonic acid, or oxidizing agents, such as hydrogen peroxide, potassium bromate or sodium bromate.
There come into consideration as insect repellents, for example, N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide, 1 ,2-pentanediol or insect repellent 3535; suitable self-tanning agents are, for example, dihy- droxyacetone and/or erythrulose or dihydroxy acetone and/or dihydroxy acetone precursors as described in WO 01/85124 and/or erythrulose.
Ultraviolet Light Absorbers:
Ultraviolet Light Absorbers (UV absorbers) are employed in cosmetics to protect the product from chemical or physical deterioration induced by ultraviolet light. Sunscreen agents are OTC drug ingredients, which protect the skin from ultraviolet light. UV absorbers, like sunscreen agents, have the ability to convert incident ultraviolet radiation into less damaging infrared radiation (heat). Suitable UV absorbers are, for example:
Aetaminosalol, allantoin PABA, benzalphthalide, benzophenone, benzophenone-1 , -2,-3, -4, -5, -6, -7, -8, -9, -10, -1 1 , or -12, benzotriazolyl dodecyl p-cresol, 3-benzylidene camphor, benzylidenecamphor hydrolyzed collagen sulphonamide, benzylidene camphor sulphonic acid, benzyl salicylate, bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine, bornelone, bumetri- zole, butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, butyl PABA, callophyllum inophyllum seed oil, ca-
mellia sinensis leaf extract, carotenoids, ceria silica, ceria/silica talcum, cinoxate, DEA- methoxycinnamate, dibenzoxazoyl naphthalene, di-t-butyl hydroxybenzylidene camphor, diethylhexyl butamido triazone, diethylhexyl 2,6-naphthalate, digalloyl trioleate, diisopropyl methyl cinnamate, 1 -(3, 4-dimethoxyphenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-1 ,3-pentanediene, dimethyl PABA ethyl cetearyldimonium tosylate, dimorpholinopyridazinone, diphenyl carbomethoxy acetoxy naphthopyran, disodium bisethylphenyl triaminotriazine stilbenedisulphonate, disodium distyrylbiphenyl disulphonate, disodium phenyl dibenzimidazole tetrasulphonate, drometrizole, drometrizole trisiloxane, esculin, ethyl dihydroxypropyl PABA, ethyl diisopro- pylcinnamate, ethylhexyl dimethoxybenzylidene dioxoimidazolidine propionate, ethylhexyl dimethyl PABA, ethylhexyl ferulate, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, ethylhexyl salicylate, ethylhexyl triazone, ethyl methoxycinnamate, ethyl PABA, ethyl urocanate, etocrylene, ferulic acid, 4-(2-beta-glucopyranosiloxy) propoxy-2-hydroxybenzophenone, glyceryl ethylhexanoate dimethoxycinnamate, glyceryl PABA, glycol salicylate, hexanediol salicylate, homosalate, hydrolyzed lupine protein, isoamyl p-methoxycinnamate, isopentyl trimethoxycinnamate trisiloxane, isopropylbenzyl salicylate, isopropyl dibenzoylmethane, isopropyl methoxycinnamate, menthyl anthranilate, menthyl salicylate, 4-methylbenzylidene camphor, methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol, octocrylene, octrizole, PABA, PEG-25 PABA, pentyl dimethyl PABA, phenylbenzimidazole sulphonic acid, pinus pinaster bark extract, polyacrylamidomethyl benzylidene camphor, polysilicone-15, potassium methoxycinnamate, potassium phenylbenzimidazole sulphonate, red petrolatum, sodium benzotriazolyl butylphenol sulphonate, sodium isoferulate, sodium phenylbenzimidazole sulphonate, sodium urocanate, spirulina platensis powder, TEA-phenylbenzimidazole sulphonate, TEA-salicylate, terephthalylidene dicamphor sulphonic acid, tetrabutyl phenyl hydroxybenzoate, titanium dioxide, tocotrienols, triPABA panthenol, urocanic acid, VA/crotonates/methacryloxybenzophenone-1 copolymer and Vitis Vinifera (Grape) seed extract.
Polymeric beads or hollow spheres as SPF enhancers:
The combination of the UV-absorbers described above, with SPF enhancers, such as non- active ingredients like Styrene/acrylate copolymer, silica beads, spheroidal magnesium sili- cate, spherical polyamide powder such as n-lactam polymer (Orgasol® range, EIf Atochem) cross linked Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA; Micopearl M305 Seppic), can maximize better the UV protection of the sun products. Holosphere additives (Sunspheres® ISP, Silica Shells Kobo.) deflect radiation and the effective path length of the photon is therefore increased. (EP0893119). Some beads, as mentioned previously, provide a soft feel during
spreading. Moreover, the optical activity of such beads, e.g. Micropearl M305, cans modulate skin shine by eliminating reflection phenomena and indirectly may scatter the UV light.
When formulated in O/W emulsions, the preferably amount of such SPF enhancers should represent 1 wt-% to 10 wt-% of the total amount of the personal care composition. A typical O/W- based personal care composition comprises:
0.5 - 10 wt-% of at least one of the inventive copolymer
2 - 25 wt-% of at least one oil-component,
0 - 25 wt-% of at least one adjuvant and/or additive, water up to 100 wt-%. A typical oil-based personal care composition comprises
0.5 - 10 wt-% of at least one of the inventive copolymer
50 - 99 wt-% of at least one oil-component,
0 - 25 wt-% of at least one adjuvant and/or additive.
A soap has, for example, the following composition: 0.1 to 5% wt-% of at least one inventive copolymer
0.3 to 1 % wt-% of titanium dioxide
1 to 10% wt-% of stearic acid to 100 wt-% of soap base, for example the sodium salts of tallow fatty and coconut fatty acid or glycerols. A shampoo has, for example, the following composition:
0.1 to 5% wt-% of at least one inventive copolymer
12.0% wt-% of sodium laureth-2-sulphate,
4.0% wt-% of cocamidopropylbetaine,
3.0% wt-% of NaCI and water to 100 wt-%.
A deodorant has, for example, the following composition:
0.1 to 5% of at least one inventive copolymer
40% by weight of ethanol,
0.3% by weight of perfume oil and water to 100%.
The new polymers are also useful in thickening of printing paste and paints. The new polymers are obtainable by conventional polymerisation processes. The following examples are set forth merely to exemplify the invention and are not intended to limit the metes and bounds of the invention, which is set forth by the claims appended hereto.
