Abstract

Abstract A composition for use in the dyeing of keratinous fibre such as hair includes an aqueous anaerobic solution of an aryldiamine and a substituted catechol. Optionally, an aromatic coupling agent can also be incorporated in the composition to modify the shade of color produced. Anaerobic storage conditions can, for example, be maintained by packing the composition in an aerosol container with a halocarbon propellant.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 161 words
A composition for use in the dyeing of keratinous fibres which comprises an aqueous anaerobic solution of (i) from about 0.1 to about 6% by weight of an aryldiamine or a salt thereof having the structure ##STR5## where R 1 and R 2 are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C 1 -C 4 alkyl and C 1 -C 4 alkoxy, and where R 3 is selected from the group consisting of C 1 -C 4 alkyl and C 1 -C 4 alkoxy; and (ii) from about 0.1 to about 6% by weight of a substituted catechol having the structure ##STR6## where R is selected from the group consisting of amino, C 1 -C 4 alkylamino, C 1 -C 4 alkyl, C 1 -C 4 alkoxy, C 1 -C 4 hydroxyalkyl, C 1 -C 4 aminoalkyl and C 1 -C 4 alkoxyalkyl, the molar ratio of aryldiamine to substituted catechol in the solution being from about 1:8 to about 4:1.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 161 words
A composition for use in the dyeing of keratinous fibres which comprises an aqueous anaerobic solution of (i) from about 0.1 to about 6% by weight of an aryldiamine or a salt thereof having the structure ##STR5## where R 1 and R 2 are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C 1 -C 4 alkyl and C 1 -C 4 alkoxy, and where R 3 is selected from the group consisting of C 1 -C 4 alkyl and C 1 -C 4 alkoxy; and (ii) from about 0.1 to about 6% by weight of a substituted catechol having the structure ##STR6## where R is selected from the group consisting of amino, C 1 -C 4 alkylamino, C 1 -C 4 alkyl, C 1 -C 4 alkoxy, C 1 -C 4 hydroxyalkyl, C 1 -C 4 aminoalkyl and C 1 -C 4 alkoxyalkyl, the molar ratio of aryldiamine to substituted catechol in the solution being from about 1:8 to about 4:1.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 22 words
A composition according to claim 1, wherein the aryldiamine is selected from the group consisting of 2-methyl-1,4-diaminobenzene, its salts and mixtures thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 29 words
A composition according to claim 1, wherein the substituted catechol is selected from the group consisting of 3-methylcatechol 4-methylcatechol 4-n-propylcatechol 3-isopropylcatechol 4-isopropylcatechol 3-methoxycatechol 4-t-butylcatechol 4-aminocatechol 4(N-methyl)aminocatechol and mixtures thereof.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 60 words
A composition according to claim 1, wherein the solution additionally comprises from 0 to about 6% by weight of a coupler selected from the group consisting of: 2,4-diaminophenol 2,4-diaminotoluene resorcinol m-phenylenediamine 2,4-diamino anisole m-aminophenol α-naphthol m-methoxyphenol 6-methyl-3-aminophenol 2,5-xylenol 2,6-xylenol 1phenyl-3-methylpyrazolone catechol and mixtures thereof; the molar ratio of aryldiamine to coupler in the solution being from 1:0 to about 1:2.
