Abstract

The instant disclosure generally relates to a multicomponent composition for coloring mammalian or synthetic keratin fibers, the multicomponent composition comprising first, second, third and fourth components. The first component includes an organic polymer, the second component includes an in situ linking material, the third component includes a base compound and the fourth component includes a catalyst or other substance. One or more of the components includes pigment microparticles. The multicomponent composition in situ links upon application, forms a solid coating on treated material such as hair and has a substantially long color remanence following development. Methods of using such compositions are also described herein.

Claims (26)

1. A method for applying a multicomponent composition to keratin material comprising:

(a) applying a third component as a pretreatment to the keratin material to form pretreated keratin material;

(b) applying first and second components sequentially or simultaneously or premixed to the pretreated keratin material; wherein:

the first component comprises an organic polymer;

the second component comprises an in situ linking material;

the third component comprises a base compound;

each of the first, second and third components comprise a medium;

one or more of the first, second and third components comprise pigment particles;

the organic polymer of the first component comprises units of a hydrophobic monomer and a hydrophilic monomer, wherein the hydrophobic monomer comprises a C1-C6 alkyl linear or branched (meth)acrylate monomer, styrene or a combination thereof wherein the styrene is present at a weight percentage amount of from none up to about 50 wt % relative to the total weight of the organic polymer; and the hydrophilic monomer comprises an olefinic acid selected from (meth)acrylic acid, and a hydroxyalkyl olefinic ester selected from hydroxymethyl or hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate or any combination thereof,

the organic polymer of the first component has a weight average molecular weight in the range of about 2 KDa to about 100 MDa;

the acid number of the organic polymer of the first component is in a range of about 7 to about 90;

the hydroxyalkyl olefinic ester portion of the organic polymer of the first component is in a range of about 1-5 wt % relative to the total weight of the organic polymer;

the in situ linking material of the second component comprises hexamethylene diisocyanate, bis isocyanatocyclohexyl methane or uretdione hexamethylene diisocyanate;

the base compound of the third component comprises linear polyethyleneimine or branched polyethylene imine wherein the base compound has a weight average molecular weight of about 150 Da to about 1 MDa;

the molar ratio of isocyanate groups of the second component to hydroxyl groups of the first component is in a range of about 0.5:2 to 25:1.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the base compound is polyethyleneimine at a concentration of 0.1-5% in medium relative to the total weight of the combination of the base compound and the medium.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the weight percentage of the organic polymer and the in situ linking material is between 1-20 wt. %, of the combined first and second components.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the organic polymer comprises ethyl (meth)acrylate, hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate and (meth)acrylic acid and styrene at a weight percentage relative to the total weight of the organic polymer of from none up to about 30 wt %.

5. The method of claim 4 wherein the organic polymer is completely free of styrene.

6. A kit, comprising in separate storage compartments:

a first component comprising an organic polymer comprising a units of a hydrophobic monomer and a hydrophilic monomer, wherein the hydrophobic monomer comprises a C1-C6 alkyl linear or branched (meth)acrylate monomer, styrene or a combination thereof wherein the styrene is present at a weight percentage amount of from none up to about 50 wt % relative to the total weight of the organic polymer; and the hydrophilic monomer comprises an olefinic acid selected from (meth)acrylic acid, and a hydroxyalkyl olefinic ester selected from hydroxymethyl or hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate or any combination thereof; the organic polymer having a weight average molecular weight in the range of about 2 KDa to about 100 MDa; the acid number of the organic polymer being in a range of about 7 to about 90; and the hydroxyalkyl olefinic ester portion of the organic polymer being in a range of about 1-5 wt % relative to the total weight of the organic polymer;

a second component comprising an in situ linking material; the in situ linking material comprising hexamethylene diisocyanate, bis isocyanatocyclohexyl methane or uretdione hexamethylene diisocyanate;

a third component comprising a base compound; the base compound comprises linear polyethyleneimine or branched polyethylene imine wherein the base compound has a weight average molecular weight of about 150 Da to about 1 MDa;

wherein the first, second and third components comprise a medium;

one or more of the first, second and third components comprises pigment particles stabilized in the medium by one or more dispersants;

wherein the molar ratio of free isocyanate groups of the second component to hydroxyl groups of the first component is in a range of about 0.5:2 to 25:1.
