Abstract
The present invention is directed to bimodal polymer compositions and personal care fixatives containing bimodal polymer compositions. The present invention includes a bimodal polymer composition having a first polymer with anionic character and a second polymer with cationic character and wherein the polymers form an interpenetrating polymer network. In one embodiment, the present invention also includes personal care fixatives (e.g., health care, hygiene or cosmetic compositions) containing the bimodal polymer composition. The present invention also includes methods for forming bimodal polymer compositions.
Claims28
A bimodal polymer composition, comprising:
- a first polymer with anionic character, said first polymer having a molecular weight ranging from about 1,000 daltons to about 1,000,000 daltons;
- aqueous ammonia;
- and
- a second polymer with cationic character, wherein the polymers form an interpenetrating polymer network, said second polymer having a molecular weight ranging from about 1,000 daltons to about 1,000,000 daltons.
