Abstract
Abstract Water-insoluble alkyl half ester interpolymers and water-insoluble ammonium and amine salts thereof, and hair spray compositions made therefrom; said interpolymers consisting essentially of the structural units: --CH-CH2-CH-CH-- and --CH-CH2-CH-CH-- ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ OO=CC=O OO=CC=O ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ R1XY R2XY Unit I Unit II obtained by interpolymerizing maleic anhydride with two different alkyl vinyl ethers, R1-O-CO=CH2 and R2-O-CH=CH2, followed by partial esterification with an alkanol having 1 to 8 carbon atoms.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
180 words
A water-insoluble interpolymer consisting essentially of the structural units: ##EQU3## wherein R 1 represents an alkyl radical having from 8 to 18 atoms; wherein R 2 represents an alkyl radical having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms; and wherein X and Y each independently represent a radical selected from the group consisting of (1) an alkoxy radical having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms and (2) the hydroxy radical; the proportion of alkoxy radicals in the total number of X and Y radicals being from about 40 percent to about 60 percent; there being from about 0.01 to about 43 mole percent of Unit I and from about 57 to about 99.99 mole percent of Unit II in the interpolymer, based on the total number of moles of structural Units I and II in the interpolymer; the Brookfield viscosity of said interpolymer being from about 100 cps. to about 4,000 cps. at 25°C. and at 30% concentration in ethanol using a No. 2 spindle with a 250 cc. beaker, the percentage being based on the weight of the total solution.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
180 words
A water-insoluble interpolymer consisting essentially of the structural units: ##EQU3## wherein R 1 represents an alkyl radical having from 8 to 18 atoms; wherein R 2 represents an alkyl radical having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms; and wherein X and Y each independently represent a radical selected from the group consisting of (1) an alkoxy radical having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms and (2) the hydroxy radical; the proportion of alkoxy radicals in the total number of X and Y radicals being from about 40 percent to about 60 percent; there being from about 0.01 to about 43 mole percent of Unit I and from about 57 to about 99.99 mole percent of Unit II in the interpolymer, based on the total number of moles of structural Units I and II in the interpolymer; the Brookfield viscosity of said interpolymer being from about 100 cps. to about 4,000 cps. at 25°C. and at 30% concentration in ethanol using a No. 2 spindle with a 250 cc. beaker, the percentage being based on the weight of the total solution.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
149 words
A water-insoluble interpolymer, according to claim 1, wherein the free carboxyl groups of said interpolymer have been neutralized by ammonia, a primary, secondary, or tertiary alkylamine, alkanolamine, or alkylalkanolamine of the formula ##STR5## where Z 1 , Z 2 , and Z 3 are all hydrogen to make up ammonia, where Z 1 , Z 2 , and Z 3 are individually selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and of alkyl radicals having 1 to 18 carbon atoms to make up the alkylamine, where Z 1 , Z 2 , and Z 3 are individually selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and of hydroxyethyl and hydroxypropyl radicals to make up the alkanolamine, or where Z 1 , Z 2 , and Z 3 are mixtures of alkyl and hydroxyalkyl groups as described to make up the alkylalkanolamine, to give the ammonium or amine salts of said interpolymer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
A water-insoluble interpolymer, according to claim 2, wherein from about 5 to about 50 percent of the free carboxyl groups of said interpolymer have been neutralized to form the ammonium, alkylamine, alkanolamine, or alkylalkanolamine salts.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
50 words
A water-insoluble interpolymer, according to claim 1, wherein the Brookfield viscosity is from about 200 cps. to about 3000 cps. at 25°C and at 30 percent concentration in ethanol using a No. 2 spindle with a 250 cc. beaker, the percentage being based on the weight of the total solution.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
A water-insoluble interpolymer, according to claim 1, wherein R 1 is a stearyl radical and wherein R 2 is an ethyl radical.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
29 words
A water-insoluble interpolymer, according to claim 5, wherein the free carboxyl groups have been neutralized according to claim 3 to give the ammonium or amine salts of said interpolymer.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
54 words
A water-insoluble interpolymer, according to claim 6, wherein X and Y each independently represent a radical selected from the group consisting of (1) an ethoxy radical and (2) an hydroxy radical; the proportion of ethoxy radicals in the total number of X and Y radicals being from about 40 percent to about 60 percent.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
29 words
A water-insoluble interpolymer, according to claim 7, wherein the free carboxyl groups have been neutralized according to claim 3 to give the ammonium or amine salts of said interpolymer.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
22 words
