Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A pigment suspension is provided. In one example, the pigment suspension includes a) at least one colorant compound selected from the group of pigments, b) at least one C 1 -C 10 alcohol, c) at least one diol, d) at least one thickening agent, and e) water. A method for dyeing keratinous material and a multi-component packaging unit (kit-of-parts) for dyeing keratinous material including a pigment suspension are also provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A pigment suspension comprising: a) at least one colorant compound selected from the group of pigments, wherein the at least one colorant compound comprises a pigment with a synthetic fluorophlogopite mica substrate, b) at least one C 1 -C 10 alcohol, c) at least one diol, d) at least one thickening agent, and e) water. 2. A pigment suspension according to claim 1 , wherein the pigment comprises a substrate platelet, wherein the substrate platelet comprises a metal, a metal alloy, natural mica, synthetic mica, or glass. 3. A pigment suspension according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one thickening agent is selected from the group of carboxymethyl cellulose, carboxymethylhydroxyethylcellulose, sulfoethylcellulose, carboxymethylsulfoethylcellulose, hydroxypropylsulfoethylcellulose, hydroxyethylsulfoethylcellulose, methlylsulfoethylcellulose, ethylsulfoethylcellulose, or mixtures thereof. 4. A pigment suspension according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one C1-C10 alcohol is selected from the group of ethanol, 2-propanol, or mixtures thereof. 5. A pigment suspension according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one diol is selected from the group of ethylene glycol, 1,2-propylene glycol, 1,3-propylene glycol, or mixtures thereof. 6. A pigment suspension according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one thickening agent is selected from the group of propyl cellulose, methyl ethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, methyl hydroxyethyl cellulose, ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, carboxymethylhydroxyethylcellulose, sulfoethylcellulose, carboxymethylsulfoethylcellulose, hydroxypropylsulfoethylcellulose, hydroxyethylsulfoethylcellulose, methylethylhydroxyethylcellulose, methlylsulfoethylcellulose, ethylsulfoethylcellulose, or mixtures thereof. 7. A method for dyeing keratinous material comprising the following steps: applying an agent (a) to the keratinous material, wherein the agent (a) comprises: (a1) at least one organic C 1 -C 6 -alkoxysilane, wherein the agent (a) comprises the at least one organic C 1 -C 6 -alkoxysilane in an amount of from about 50 to about 65 weight percent, based on a total weight of the agent (a), and applying an agent (b) to the keratinous material, wherein the agent (b) comprises: (b1) at least one sealing reagent, wherein at least one of the agent (a) and the agent (b) further comprises a pigment suspension comprising; a) at least one colorant compound selected from the group of pigments, b) at least one C 1 -C 10 alcohol, c) at least one diol, d) at least one thickening agent, and e) water. 8. The method for dyeing keratinous material according to claim 7 , wherein the agent (a) comprises one or more organic C 1 -C 6 -alkoxysilanes of the formula (S-I) and/or (S-II) and/or (S-IV), R 1 R 2 N-L-Si(OR 3 ) a (R 4 ) b   (S-I) where R 1 , R 2 independently represent a hydrogen atom or a C 1 -C 6 alkyl group, L is a linear or branched, divalent C 1 -C 20 alkylene group, R 3 , R 4 are independent of each other for a C 1 -C 6 alkyl group, a, represents an integer from 1 to 3, and b is the integer 3-a, and (R 5 O) c (R 6 ) d Si-(A) e -[NR 7 -(A′)] f -[O-(A″)] g -[NR 8 -(A″′)] h -Si(R 6 ′) d′ (OR 5 ′) c′   (S-II), where R 5 , R 5′ , R 5″ , R 6 , R 6′ and R 6′ ′ independently represent a C 1 -C 6 alkyl group, A, A′, A″, A″′ and A″″ independently represent a linear or branched C 1 -C 20 divalent alkylene group, R 7 and R 8 independently represent a hydrogen atom, a C 1 -C 6 alkyl group, a hydroxy-C 1 -C 6 alkyl group, a C 2 -C 6 alkenyl group, an amino-C 1 -C 6 alkyl group or a group of formula (S-III), (A″″)-Si(R 6 ″) d ″(OR 5 ″) c ″  (S-III), c, stands for an integer from 1 to 3, d stands for the integer 3-c, c′ stands for an integer from 1 to 3, d′ stands for the integer 3-c′, c″ stands for an integer from 1 to 3, d″ stands for the integer 3-c″, e stands for 0 or 1, f stands for 0 or 1, g stands for 0 or 1, h stands for 0 or 1, with the proviso that at least one of the radicals from e, f, g and h is different from 0, and/or R 9 Si(OR 10 ) k (R 11 ) m   (S-IV), where R 9 represents a C 1 -C 12 alkyl group, R 10 stands for a C 1 -C 6 alkyl group, R 11 stands for a C 1 -C 6 alkyl group k is an integer from 1 to 3, and m stands for the integer 3-k. 9.
