DISPERSIBLE NON-BORATE METAL SALT OR CHELATE TREATED POLYGALACTOMANNAN POLYMERS FOR USE IN PERSONAL CARE AND HOUSEHOLD CARE APPLICATIONS.

摘要

The present invention relates to polygalactomannan compositions, and more particularly guar gum compositions, which, when crosslinked with organic chelating agents, such as non-borate metal salt or chelates, to form discrete guar particles which are capable of being easily dispersed in water which permits subsequent processing of the guar, such as washing. The guar and its derivatives are desirable for use in applications such as personal care and household care products.
