Specification

The invention relates to the field of the preparation of aqueous compositions comprising rheology-modifying agents, including the preparation of cosmetic or detergent aqueous compositions having thickening and clarity of improved properties as well as good properties suspensi lowing.

In particular, the invention relates to a rheology modifier which is a copolymer obtained by polymerization of at least one crosslinking monomer with at least one anionic monomer comprising at least one ethylenic unsaturation Polymerization sand and at least one hydrophobic nonionic monomer comprising at least one polymerizable ethylenic unsaturation.

Known rheology modifiers, also called thickeners or viscosity agents. Generally, they are present in the cleaning compositions, for example in care compositions or personal hygiene, including cosmetic compositions, or in care compositions, including detergents. Usually, these compositions are rich in surfactant compounds.

These agents influencing the rheological properties of the formulation, especially the viscosity, as well as optical or aesthetic properties, such as clarity. These agents also influence the ability to suspend and stabilize the particles in the formulation.

Among the rheology modifiers commonly used in aqueous formulations that may be mentioned the copolymers soluble or swellable in an alkaline medium (ASE polymers for Alkali-Soluble or Alkali-Swellable Emulsions Emulsions). May also be mentioned the copolymers soluble or swellable in an alkaline medium and hydrophobically modified (HASE polymers for Hydrophobically modified Alkali-Soluble Emulsions or Hydrophobically modified Alkali-Swellable Emulsions).

Also known are aqueous compositions comprising copolymers ASE or HASE copolymers as rheology modifiers.

For these aqueous compositions, one seeks in particular to improve their properties or performance for a wide range of pH. In particular, it seeks to provide aqueous compositions having high clarity, good properties in terms of thickening effect and good properties suspensi lowing.

The viscosity control and obtaining aqueous compositions in the form of a continuous and clear phase are particularly desired, in particular for a wide range of pH.

Thus, the properties and performance of aqueous compositions should be implemented at both pH values ​​of acid at neutral or basic pH values.

An aqueous composition has good suspensivantes properties or good suspending power when it is capable of maintaining particles suspended in the continuous phase. This ability must last over time to obtain stable aqueous compositions, for example during storage.

Generally, suspensivantes properties are evaluated by applying an application test suspension for determining the value of the elastic modulus G ', the value of Tan (δ) and the value of the yield strength of the aqueous composition comprising a rheology modifier.

Generally, the particles to be suspended in the continuous phase of the aqueous composition are solid bodies, solid or hollow. These particles to be suspended may also be immiscible liquids entities with the continuous phase of the aqueous composition or encapsulated body or gaseous substance that can be characterized by shapes, textures, structures, compositions, colors and different final properties.

For information, include exfoliating particles such as polyethylene particles, crushed fruit shells, pumice stones. Mention may also be nourishing particles, for example spheres of collagen and the nacrantes particles, e.g., titanium mica, glycols di stearates, or aesthetic particles, for example air bubbles, flakes, optionally pigments.

Usually, the particle suspension can be quite variable size. For example, air bubbles may have a size of 1, 2 or 3 mm.

The clarity or clearness aqueous compositions can be evaluated by measuring their transmittance, usually expressed as a percentage. A composition is considered clear or clear if it has a transmittance for a 500 nm wavelength, at least 60%, preferably at least 70% and even more preferably at least 80%.
