The effect of allyl derivatives of muconic, malonic, and isocyanuric acids, as well as some other unsaturated compounds on the properties of adhesives based on ethyl- and allyl-α-cyanoacrylates, is studied.

The invention relates to a method for producing glycerol carbonate methacrylate in the presence of metal-chelate catalysts of the metal ion-1,3-diketonate type.

A substantially transparent, liquid cleaning product for hard surfaces, comprising at least 15% by weight of a surfactant and one or more abrasive materials selected from the group consisting of polymers having a diameter of from 0.6 to 4 mm, natural materials having a diameter of from 0.05 to 4 mm, and mixtures thereof.

A decorative artificial eyelash hair (10) has an artificial eyelash hair (12) with a base portion ( 14), a tip portion (16) and an outer surface (18). A decorative applique (20) is adhered to at least a portion of the outer surface (18) of the artificial eyelash hair (12). The applique includes a decorative component (28) fixed to the outer surface (18) of the hair (12) by an adhesive (24). The decorative component (28) is made of very small, reflective particles adhered to the outer surface of the individual artificial eyelash hair.

Adhesive properties of β-vinyl-α-cyanoacrylates and their anionic copolymerization with α-cyanoacrylates are studied. The ability of bifunctional β-vinyl-α-cyanoacrylates to enhance the thermal stability of cyanoacrylate adhesives is demonstrated.

The present invention provides a cyanoacrylate composition comprising a cyanoacrylate component; and a core shell rubber component having a particle size in the range of 3 nm to 1,000 nm dispersed in a curable (meth)acrylate matrix.

This invention relates to toughened cyanoacrylate compositions which exhibit improved peel strengths and fixture speeds. The toughened cyanoacrylate compositions include a toughening agent comprising poly(vinychloride-co-vinyl acetate) and poly(methylmethacrytlate).

A process for producing a monomer comprising thermally cracking a pre-polymer in the presence of a stabiliser to form a monomer as a distillate , the stabiliser preventing the re-polymerisation of the monomer during cracking while not being carried over in the distillate in normally detectable amounts.

Under solvent free conditions between 40-50 °C, BF3.SiO2, a mild solid acid catalyst, is applied to regio-chemo and stereoselective Claisen-Schmidt condensation. The procedure is very simple and the products are isolated with an easy workup in good to excellent yields.

The present disclosure relates to a cosmetic composition for treating keratin fibers, for instance human keratin fibers such as the hair, comprising at least one liquid organic solvent, at least one electrophilic monomer and at least one organofluorine compound comprising at least 4 carbon atoms, with the exception of polytetrafluoroethylene, and pigments coated with fluoro compounds.
