Some of the polymers are novel substances.
Therefore the present invention also relates to these novel substances.
DE-A-32 27 334 ~1) relates to copolymers of from -- 2~a~63 - 2 - O.Z. 0050/41581 20 to 75 parts by weight of a C2-C20-alkyl ester of acrylic or methacrylic acid, from 5 to 50 parts by weight of a nitrogen-containing neutral water-soluble monomer, for example N-vinylcaprolactam or N-vinylpyrrolidone, from 1 to 25 parts by weight of a monomer which contains cationic groups, for example N-vinylimidazole, and from 1 to 25 parts by weight of a copolymerizable, olefinic-ally unsaturated C3-C5-carboxylic acid, for example acrylic acid or methacrylic acid. The copolymers are used as film formers in hair treatment compositions.
EP-B-074 191 (2) relates to a conditioning composition containing a terpolymer of a relatively large proportion of N-vinylcaprolactam, a relatively small proportion of N-vinylpyrrolidone and an ammonium deriva-tive monomer, for example a dialkylaminoalkyl acrylate.

The N-vinyllactam is preferably used in an amount of from 10 to 30 % by weight, based on the tetra-polymer. The tetrapolymers are used as film formers for surface coatings, textile sizes, adhesives, hair sprays and binders for sand grains and for manufacturing rocket sleeves.

- 3 - O.Z. 0050/41581 Hair products are increasingly sprays containing hydrocarbons instead of halogenated hydrocarbons as propellants. The prior art copolymers used as film formers in such sprays still need to be improved in some instances in respect of their compatibility ~ith the apolar hydrocarbons of the sprays; that is, the copolymers are still not sufficiently soluble in the hydrocarbons. Moreover, the hair setting effect of these copolymers usually still leaves something to be desired.
Also, the moisture uptake of hair treated with these copolymers is still frequently too high.
It is an object of the present invention to provide film formers for hair care which should be highly compatible with apolar propellants based on hydrocarbons and shoulcl also possess a good hair setting effect and a low moisture uptake.
We have found that this object is achieve~ by the hair settin~ compositions defined at the beginning.
Group I comprise~ N-vi.nylimidazole-containing polymers, group II the N-vinylim:idazole-free polymers.
For the purposes of the present invention N-vinylcaprolactam (monomer A) is ~-vinyl-~-caprolactam.
Suitable monomers D are in particular the methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-but:yl, i~obutyl, sec-butyl and tert-butyl ester~ o~ acrylic acid and of methacrylic acid. O~ these, preference is gi~en to the bu~yl esters, especially to the tert-butyl esters.
To achieve ~light modification of the properties of the pol~mer, further monomers E capable of free radical copolymerization may be present in an amount of up to 4 ~ by weight, in particular up to 3 ~ by weight.
Suitable monomers E are for example vinyl acetate, vinyl propionate and hydroxypropyl acetate.
Monomer F is acrylic acid or preferably methacry-lic acid.
Monomer G can be in particular the methyl, ethyl,n-propyl or n-butyl esters of acrylic or methacrylic acid 20~963 - 4 - O.Z. 0050~41581 which have an unsubstituted or preferably mono- or disubstituted amino group in paxticular at the end of the alkyl group. Particular preference is givento 2-(dialkyl-amino)ethyl methacrylates such as 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl and 2-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylates.
Carboxyl groups present in the polymers are neutralized in whole or in part, advantageously up to from 5 to 100 %, preferably from 30 to 90 ~, with an amine. The amine used is preferably - a mono-, di- or trialkanolamine having from 2 to 5 carbon atoms in the alkanol moiety, which may be in etherified form, for example mono-, di- or tri-ethanolamine, mono-, di- or tri-n-propanolamine, mono-, di- or triisopropanolamine, 2-amino-2-methyl-propanol or di~2-methoxyethyl)amine, - an alkanediolamine of from 2 to 5 carbon atoms, for example 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol or2-amino-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol, or - a primary, secondary or tertLary alkylamine of from 5 to 10 carbon atoms in total, for example N,N-diethylpropylamine.
Partic~llarly good results are obtained on neut-ralizing with 2-amino-2-methylpropanol, triisopropanol-amine and 2-amino-~-ethyl-1,3-propanediol.
Preferred polymers have the following composi-tions:
- from 96 to 100 % by weight of N-vinylcaprolactam (monomer A) and from 0 to 4 % by weight of mono- . .-mer E;
- from 35 to 100, preferably from 50 to 90, % by weight of monomer A, from 0 to 65, preferably from lO to 50, % by weight of N-vinylimidazole (mono-mer B) and from 0 to 4 % by weight of monomer E;
- from 35 to 100, preferably from 35 to 65, % by weight of monomer A, from 0 to 65, preferably from 35 to 65, % by weight of a mixture of from 5 to 50 parts by weight of monomer B and from 10 to ' ` ' 2 0 ~

- 5 - ~.Z. 0050/41581 60 parts by weight of N-vinylpyrrolidone (monomer C) and also from 0 to 4 % by weight of monomer E;

- from 35 to 100, preferably 35 to 75, % by weight of monomer A, from 0 to 65, preferably from 25 to 65, ~
by weight of a mixture of from 20 to 60 parts by weight of monomer D and from 5 to 15 parts by weight of monomer F, and also from 0 to 4 % by weight of monomer E;
lS - from 35 to 100, preferably from 45 to 80, ~ by weight of monomer A, from 0 to 65, preferably from 20 to 55, % by weight of a mixture of from 15 to 50 parts by weight of monomer D and from S to 15 parts by weight of monomer G, and also from 0 to 4 % by weight o~ monomer E.
Here the monomer combinations A + B + C and in particular A + B + D, A + D + F and also A + D + G, each with or without small amounts oE E, represent particu-larly preferred embodiments.
The polymers are prepareld by free radical poly-merization or copolymerization of monomers A to G. ~he customary polymerization techniques are employed, for examplel the methods of suspension, emulsion or solution polymerization.
A particularly advantageous choice is solution polymerization in an organic solvent, in general an alcohol. The polymerization is customarily carried out at from 60 to 130C, at atmospheric pressure or under autogenous pressure.
The initiators used for the free radical polymer-ization reaction are the customary peroxo or azo compounds, for example dibenzoyl peroxide, tert-butyl ` -`= 2~0~
- 6 - O.Z. 0050/41581 perpivalate, tert-butyl per-2-ethylhexanoate, di-tert-butyl peroxide, tert-butyl hydxoperoxide, 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(tert-butylperoxy)hexaneorazobisisobutyronitrile, advantageously in amounts of from 0.1 to 2 % by weight, S based on the weight of the monomers.
The amounts of monomer and solvent are advantage-ously chosen in such a way as to produce 30-80 ~ strength by weight solutions of the copolymers. Any organic solvent in the solution can be removed in a conventional manner, for example by distillation, and be replaced by water if a waterborne hair setting composition is desired.
The polymers should have K values of from 10 to 60, preferably from 20 to 55. The desired K value can be set in a conventional manner through choice of the polymerization conditions, for example the polymerization time and the initiator concentration. The K values are measured by the method of Fikentscher, Cellulosechemie 13 (1932), 58-64, at 25C in 1 % strength by weight in ethanol, and represent a measure of the molecular weight.
S-lch polymers customarily have glass transition temperatures of from 80 to 180, prefexably ~rom 90 to 150C.
Some of the polymers are novel substances. ~or this rea50n the pre~ent invention also provides copoly-mers obtainable by free radical polymerization of - from 35 to 95 % by weight of N-vinylcaprolactam ~monomer A) - from 5 to 65 ~ by weight of a mixture ~f from 5 to 15 parts by weight of N-vinylimidazole (monomer ~) and ~rom 10 to 35 parts by weight of monomer D
- from 0 to 4 ~ by weiyht of further monomer E capable of free radical copolymerization.
These polymers usually have K values of from 10 to 60, in particular from 20 to 55.

These polymers usually have K values of from 10 to 60, in particular from 70 to 55.
The hair setting compositions according to the present invention are employed for example in the form of lotions, mousses, gels and in particular sprays.
An advantageous formulation of a hair setting lotion contains:
15 - from 1 to 20 % by weight of the unneutralized or partially or completely neutralized polymer, - from 0 to 99 % by weight of a customary solvent such a~ in particular acetone, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol or 1-methoxy-2-~propanol or a mixture thereof, and - from 0 to 99 % by weight of water.
A preferred hair setting lotion is predominantly aqueous and contains from 2 to 15 % by weight of polymer, from 60 to 98 % by weight of water and optionally, as remainder to 100 % by weight, onl3 of the abovementioned solvents or mi~tures thereof.
An advantageous and convenient composition for hair mousse~ has the following recipe:
- from 1 to 15 % by weight, preferably from 2 to 10 ~
by weight, of the unneutralized or partially or completely neutralized polymer, - from S to 90 % by weight, preferably from 60 to 85 %
by weight, of water, - from 0 to 20 % by weight of a customary solvent such as in particular acetone, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol or l-~ethoxy-~-propanol or a mixture thereof, and - 2 0 ~
- 8 - O.Z. 0050/41581 - from 10 to 50 ~ by weight of a customary propellant such as propane, n-butane, isobutane, 2,2-dimethyl-propane, isopentane or dLmethyl ether or a mixture thereof.
These compositions have added to them, based on the total weight, from about 0.1 to about 1 % by weight of conventional foam formation and foam stabilization : assistants.
of course, the abovementioned hair setting lotions and mousses may contain further customary additives, such as scents, preservatives, etc., in the customary amounts.
As regards hair sprays, particular preference is given to those which contain the following constituents:
- from 0.1 to 20, preferably from 0.5 to 12, in particular from 2 to 10, % by weight of the un-neutralized or part~ally or completely neutralized polymer, - from 10 to 95, preferably from 20 to 60, in parti-cular from 25 to 50, ~ by weight of a customary solvent such as, in particular, ethanol and iso-propanol but also acetone, n-propanol, n-butanol, 2-methoxy-l-propanol, n-pentane, n-hexane, cyclo-hexane, n-heptane or dichloromethane or a mixture ~hereof, - from 5 to 90, pre~erably from 30 to 80, in parti cular from 45 to 70, ~ by weight of a customary propellant such as propane, n-butane, isobutane, 2,2-dimethylbutane, isopentane, dimethyl ether, 3~ fluorotrichloromethane, dichlorodifluoromethane or dichlorotetrafluoroethane or mixtures thereof. Of the propellants mentioned, in particular the hydro-carbons are used, especially pxopane and n-butane in a mixture in a weight ratio of for example from 40 : 60 or 25 : 75 or n-butane alone. If desired, one or more of the chlorofluorocarbons are included in the propellant mixture, but only in small 2 ~ 3 - 9 - O.Z. 0050/41581 amounts, say up to 20 ~ by weight, based on the propellant mixture.
Additionally these sprays may contain small amounts of perfume oils, for example from 0.1 to 5.0 % by weight.
The customary constituents and compositions of o~her hair setting products are ~nown to those skilled in the art and consequently need not be e~plained here at length.
The polymers of the hair setting compositions according to the present invention are highly compatible with the apolar propellants employed in sprays, in par~icular with hydrocarbons such as propane or n-butane or a mixture thereof. In general, they produce compat-ibility values within the range from 50 to 85, in parti-cular from 70 to 85, % by weight coupled with a remark-ably good hair setting effect, as evidenced by the high curl retention values, which in their case is normally within the range from 70 to 95 ~, in particular from 85 ~0 to 95 %. The moisture uptake of the treated hair is low, within the range from 3 to 18, in particular from 3 to 10, % by weight, as a result of which the hair is kept in place for longer and is less stick~.
Furthermore, the hair setting compositions according to the pre~ent invention are in fact notable for not causing the hair to stick together to any prac-tical extent; it remains readily comba~le. The treated hair has a natural appearance. The stiffening effeot achieved on the hair with compositions according to the 0 present invention is ger.erally good.
EXAMPLES
The known polymers used in the hair setting compositions according to tha present invention were prepared by the usual methods of solution polymerization.
In what follows, the preparation of the polymer of Example 10 will be described and should be taken as representative of all the other methods of preparation.

2 ~ 3 - 10 - O.Z. 0050/41581 Preparation of a polymer of 60 % by weight of N-vinyl-caprolactam, 10 % by weight of N-vinylimidazole and 30 %
by weight of tert-butyl acrylate.
A solution of 30 g of N-vinylcaprolactam, 5 g of N-vinylimidazole, 15 g of tert-butyl acrylate and 0.53 g of tert-butyl perpivalate (75 % strength by weight) in 275 g of ethanol was heated to 75C. Once the polymeriz-ation has started, as evidenced by an increase in the viscosity, a mixture of 270 g of N-vinylcaprolactam, 45 g of N-vinylimidazole, 135 g of tert-butyl acrylate and 100 g of ethanol and a solution of 2.4 g of tert-butyl perpivalate (75 ~ strength by weight) and 60 g of ethanol were added simultaneously in the course of 3 hours while the temperature was maintained at 77-80C with slow boiling. Thereafter a solution of 2.4 g of tert-butyl perpivalate (75 % strength by weight) in 60 g of ethanol was added dropwise at the same temperature in the course of a further 3 hours.
Then 3.0 g of 2,5-dLmethyl-2,5-di~tert-butyl-peroxy)hexane were added all at once. The reaction vessel was sealed pressure-tight, heatedlto 130C and maintained at that temperature for 3 hours.
Properties of the polymers Tables 1 to 6 below show the composition, K
value, hydrocarbon compatibility, hair setting effect and moisture uptake of the polymers used in the compositions according to the present invention.
The K value was measured at 25C on a 1.0 strength by weight solution in ethanol.
The hydrocarbon compatibility, determined with a 25 : 75 w/w mixture of propane and n-butane, indicates the maximum weight percentage of this propellant gas mixture-which may be present in a spray formulation which,:besides ethanol as solvent, contains 3 % by weight of the copolymer, whose carboxyl groups, if it has any, ar~: 7~ % neutralized with 2-amino-2-methylpropanol, without causing cloudiness at 0C.

- 2 0 ~
11 - O.Z. ~050/41581 The hair setting effect is measured in terms of curl xetention. Curl retention is measured in an in vitro test on curls formed from approximately 15 cm long strands of hair by a customary shalnpoo-and-set treatment and sprayed with the particular spray formulation from a distance of 10 cm for 4 seconds. After the suspended curls have been conditioned in 2 conditioning cabinet at 25C and 90 % relative humidity for 5 hours, the relative opening-out or uncurling of the curls is determined relative to their original shape. A high value denotes high shape retention; that is, a value of 100 % would denote that the original shape was completely retained.
The curl retention values for the pol~ners designated in Tables 1 to 6 were determined in each case with the following standard spray formulation:
6.3 % by weight of polymer which, if any carboxyl groups were present, has been 75 ~
neutralized with 2-amino-2-methyl-propanol, 33.7 % by weight of ethanol and 60.0 % by weight 25:75 propane/n-butane.
The moisture uptake of the polymer-treated hair from the surrounding air was measured after 7 days at 75 % relati~e humidity.
