20080260673Conditioning Composition - The present invention is related to composition for conditioning keratin fibres especially human hair with reduced bulk density. The inventors of the present invention have found out that a conditioning composition comprising at least one shear thickening polymer and at least one conditioning compound and having reduced bulk density solves the above mentioned problems in an outstanding environmental compatible way. Since the reduced bulk density the composition is perceived light which for example cause no weigh down effect. The reduced bulk density at the same time improves and optimizes spreadability of the composition to the applied sites and therewith optimizes as well the uptake, in other words, the effect of such composition. Accordingly the subject of the present invention is an aqueous conditioning composition for keratin fibres especially human hair comprising at least one shear thinning polymer, at least one conditioning compound, at least one gas and having a bulk density in the range of 0.3 to 0.9 g/ml measured at 20° C. wherein composition is not released or stored under pressure.10-23-2008
20090041706CONDITIONING COMPOSITION FOR HAIR - The present invention is related to a conditioning composition for hair comprising at least one polyphenol and at least one silicone quaternary compound. The conditioning composition of the present invention can be in the form of a shampoo, cleansing—conditioning composition, or in the form of a conditioner used after washing hair with cleansing compositions. It has surprisingly been found out that a composition comprising at least one polyphenol and at least one silicone quaternary compound protects hair from environmental influences and hair treated with such a composition looks attractive and has its natural excellent shine, volume and body, elasticity and it is easily manageable. Accordingly the first object of the present invention is a conditioning composition for hair comprising at least one polyphenol and at least one silicone quaternary compound.02-12-2009
20090041707CONDITIONING COMPOSITION FOR HAIR - The present invention is related to a conditioning composition for hair comprising at least one arylated silicone and at least one silicone quaternary compound. The conditioning composition of the present invention can be in the form of a shampoo, cleansing-conditioning composition, or in the form of a conditioner used after washing hair with cleansing compositions. It has surprisingly been found out that a composition comprising at least one arylated silicone and at least one silicone quaternary compound gives hair its natural excellent shine, volume and body, elasticity and it is easily manageable.02-12-2009

20100031799Method and Tool for Producing a Surface of Predetermined Roughness - For producing a cylindrical surface that has a surface structure of predetermined geometry suitable for application of material by thermal spraying, a geometrically predetermined groove structure of minimal depth and width is introduced into the surface by a tool embodied as a follow-on tool in that a groove cross-section is processed successively to a final size. In order for the surface to be producible in mass production with constant quality, the groove structure is worked in such that first a base groove is introduced with a groove bottom width that is smaller than the groove bottom width of the finished groove. Subsequently, at least one flank of the base groove is processed for producing an undercut groove profile by a non-cutting action or cutting action wherein the introduced groove structure is deformed in such a way that the groove openings are constricted by upsetting deformations of material.02-11-2010
