Abstract
Disclosed is a novel composition which is a non-pressure-sensitive adhesive at room temperature (20.degree. C.) and which contains a copolymer which has pendant polysiloxane grafts. Also disclosed are applications to the hair or body of an animal containing the novel composition.
Claims14
A non-pressure sensitive adhesive composition comprising:
- (a) a copolymer having a Tg of at least 20.0.degree. C. which comprises repeating A, B, and C monomers wherein:
- A is at least one free radically polymerizable methacrylic monomer present as at least 30% by weight of all monomer present;
- B is at least one polar monomer copolymerizable with and different from A, the amount by weight of B monomer being from 3 to 30% of the total weight of all monomers in said copolymer;
- and
- C is a monomer present as from 3 to 30% by weight of all monomer present and having the general formula
- X(Y).sub.n Si(R).sub.3-m Z.sub.m
- wherein:
- X is a vinyl group copolymerizable with the A and B monomers;
- Y is a divalent linking group;
- R is hydrogen, lower alkyl, aryl, or alkoxy;
- Z is a monovalent siloxane polymeric moiety having a number average molecular weight of at least about 500 and is essentially unreactive under copolymerization conditions;
- n is zero or 1;
- m is an integer of from 1 to 3;
- and
- (b) from 0 to about 500 parts by weight of compatible solvent or plasticizer per 10 parts copolymer.
