Description

Title of the invention: Two-component oxidation powder hair color comprising a combination of thickeners

[0001] The present invention lies in the field of cosmetic hair coloring and relates to a kit for the oxidation coloring of keratin fibers, in particular human hair, comprising an anhydrous oxidation composition (OZ) containing sodium percarbonate or sodium perborate and, separately from the oxidation composition (OZ), an anhydrous cosmetic coloring composition (FZ) containing oxidation dye precursors, a selected alkalizing agent based on selected sodium silicates or sodium metasilicates, at least one polysaccharide selected from sodium carboxymethylcellulose and xanthan gum, and mixtures thereof, as a first thickener, and further precipitated silica as an additional thickener, wherein an oxidation hair coloring agent can be prepared by mixing the components of the kit with water without the need to additionally add hydrogen peroxide..

[0002] Another object of the present invention is a process for coloring by oxidation of keratin fibers, in particular human hair, using the aforementioned anhydrous kit components and water.

[0003] Changing the color of keratin fibers, especially hair, is an important area of ​​modern cosmetics. Thus, the appearance of the hair can be adapted both to current fashion trends and to the specific wishes of each person. When it comes to changing hair color, various possibilities are available to the specialist in the field.

[0004] Through the use of direct dyes, hair color can be temporarily changed. In this case, ready-to-use dyes diffuse from the coloring agent into the hair fiber. Coloring with direct dyes causes little damage to the hair, but has a disadvantage, namely the low durability and rapid washing out of the colors obtained with direct dyes.

[0005] If the consumer desires a long-lasting color result or a shade lighter than their natural hair color, oxidative color modifying agents will generally be used. Oxidative coloring agents are used to achieve intense, permanent colorations with good color authenticity properties. These coloring agents usually contain oxidation dye precursors, called "developing constituents" and "coupling constituents" which, under the action of the oxidizing agents - generally hydrogen peroxide - interact to form the dyes themselves. same. Oxidative coloring agents are characterized by both excellent and long-lasting coloring results.

[0006] Oxidative color modifying agents are generally marketed as two-component agents, in which two different preparations are packaged separately in two separate packages and are only mixed just before application. The first component of common coloring agent kits is an aqueous composition - acidic for stability reasons - containing dissolved hydrogen peroxide as the oxidizing agent in concentrations ranging from 1.5 to 24% by weight. These aqueous oxidizing agent compositions are frequently in the form of an emulsion or dispersion and are generally provided in a plastic bottle with a resealable neck (developer bottle).

[0007] This oxidizing agent formulation of known coloring kits is mixed with a second preparation before application. This second preparation is an alkaline formulation which is often in the form of a cream or gel and which also contains at least one oxidation dye precursor if a color change is desired at the same time as lightening. This second preparation is often packaged in a tube or in a plastic or glass container.

[0008] In the common form of application described above, the second preparation, which contains the alkalizing agent and, if desired, the oxidation dye precursors, is transferred from the tube or container into the developer bottle and then mixed by stirring with the hydrogen peroxide preparation already present in the developer bottle. In this way, the mixture to be applied is prepared in the developer bottle. Application to the hair is then carried out via a small spout or neck provided at the top of the developer bottle. After stirring, the spout or neck is opened and the mixture to be applied can be extracted by squeezing the flexible developer bottle.

[0009] When preparing the mixture to be applied in a bowl, the two components - the first preparation containing the oxidizing agent and the second preparation containing an alkalizing agent and, if desired, oxidation dye precursors - are transferred entirely into a bowl or similar container and then stirred using a brush, for example. The mixture to be applied is then extracted from the mixing bowl using the brush. In this form of application, the use of a bulky and expensive developer bottle is not necessary.

[0010] However, filling hydrogen peroxide solutions into such packages is associated with problems due to the reactivity of hydrogen peroxide, which may gradually decompose to form oxygen (i.e. gas) depending on the storage conditions and possibly the presence of impurities having a decomposition action

[0011] As a rule, the developer bottles known from the prior art are filled with the oxidizing agent composition to a maximum of only half, usually only one third of their internal volume. As a rule, the developer bottles are made of polyethylene. Since polyethylene is permeable to both water vapor and gases, there is no or very little excess pressure in the developer bottle. In addition, the developer bottles are usually provided with thick, robust walls and a solid screw closure, so that the diffusion of water vapor or gas through the wall thickness is reduced and a very slight increase in pressure inside the bottle has no negative effect.

[0012] As a result, the packaging is usually bulky, which is detrimental to sustainability and the preservation of the environment and resources. The use of a solid as an oxidizing agent is advantageous, since the solid can be activated by the addition of water alone without the need to also add hydrogen peroxide. Sodium percarbonate and sodium perborate are known as solid oxidizing agents for coloring preparations, for the activation of which the addition of water instead of a hydrogen peroxide solution is sufficient. These are salts. However, the use of salts has a disadvantage for adjusting the viscosity of the ready-to-use hair coloring agent. This is because polyelectrolytes such as xanthan gum, which lose their viscosity-increasing effect as the salt(s) content increases, are often used as thickeners.If the ready-to-use hair coloring agent has too low a viscosity, it is more difficult to apply and can flow more easily from the hair during the processing time, which is not desirable.

[0013] The objective of the present application is to provide a hair coloring agent comprising a solid oxidizing agent, activatable with water, the hair coloring agent having no disadvantages in terms of handling, in particular in terms of the viscosity of the ready-to-use hair coloring agent. Furthermore, the hair coloring formulations must be packaged in a safe and space-saving manner in order to ensure high storage stability and to provide a coloring agent that is as resource-efficient as possible. In addition, the use of the coloring agent must be as safe as possible for the consumer.

[0014] The objective of the invention is achieved by a kit for coloring by oxidation of keratin fibers, in particular human hair, comprising

[0015] (i) an anhydrous oxidation composition (OZ), containing at least one oxidizing agent solid, activatable with water, chosen from sodium percarbonate and sodium perborate, and containing no polysaccharide,

[0019] - at least one polysaccharide as thickener, chosen from carboxymethyl- sodium cellulose and xanthan gum and mixtures thereof,

[0020] the kit not comprising any constituent having a persulfate content,

[0021] characterized in that at least one of the compositions (FZ) or (OZ) contains precipitated silica.

[0022] Another object of the present invention is a process for coloring by oxidation of keratin fibers, in particular human hair, comprising the following steps:

[0023] (i) providing an anhydrous oxidation composition (OZ), containing at least one solid oxidizing agent, activatable with water, selected from sodium percarbonate and sodium perborate, and containing no polysaccharide, and separately therefrom, providing an anhydrous cosmetic coloring composition (FZ), the coloring composition (FZ) containing:

[0024] - at least one developer-type oxidation dye precursor and at least one coupler-type oxidation dye precursor, as well as

[0025] - at least one alkalizing agent chosen from sodium silicates and meta- sodium silicates, each having a SiO2 / Na2O molar ratio of 0.8 to 3.7, preferably of 1.0 to 3.6, particularly preferably of 2.5 to 3.5, as well as

[0026] - at least one polysaccharide as thickener, chosen from carboxymethyl- sodium cellulose and xanthan gum and mixtures thereof,

[0027] (ii) mixing the composition (OZ), the cosmetic coloring composition (FZ) and water to form a ready-to-use coloring agent,

[0028] (iii) directly after step (ii), application of the ready-to-use coloring agent to the keratin fibers, in particular to human hair,

[0029] (iv) applying the ready-to-use coloring agent to the keratin fibers, in particular to human hair, for 5 to 60 minutes, preferably for 15 to 45 minutes, particularly preferably for 30 minutes,

[0030] (v) then rinsing with water the keratin fiber coloring agent, even actually washing the fibers with a cleaning agent containing a surfactant, conditioning the fibers with a conditioning agent and / or drying the fibers,

[0031] no persulfate being used in the process,

[0032] characterized in that the weight ratio between the sum of the weights of the compositions (OZ) and (FZ) and the weight of the amount of water used in step (ii), [(OZ)+(FZ)] / [water], is in the range of 10:100 to 28:100, preferably 11:100 to 24:100, particularly preferably 12:100 to 22:100, very particularly preferably 13:100 to 20:100, even more preferably 14:100 to 19.6:100, exceptionally preferably 16:100 to 18.1:100,

[0033] further characterized in that at least one of the compositions (FZ) or (OZ) contains precipitated silica as a thickener.

[0034] By "keratin fibers", "keratin-based fibers" or "keratin fibers" is meant furs, wool, feathers and in particular human hair. Although the agents according to the invention are primarily suitable for lightening and coloring keratin fibers, nothing in principle prevents their use in other contexts.

[0035] The kit according to the invention is a kit for the modification of color by oxidation of keratin fibers, that is to say a product which is applied to the human head after mixing with water in order to achieve coloring by oxidation or tinting of the hair. In this context, we speak of "tinting" when the result is a color lighter than the original color of the hair. Throughout the present application, the term "cosmetic coloring composition (FZ)" is used as a synonym for the term "preparation (FZ)" or "coloring composition (FZ)".

[0036] The kit according to the invention comprises, as first component, an anhydrous oxidation composition (OZ), containing at least one solid oxidizing agent, activatable with water, chosen from sodium percarbonate and sodium perborate, and containing no polysaccharide.

[0037] The compositions (OZ) and (FZ) designated as "anhydrous" of the coloring kits according to the invention and preferred according to the invention have a water content of 0 to 8% by weight, preferably 0.1 to 5% by weight, particularly preferably 0.5 to 2.5% by weight of water, in each case relative to the weight of the compositions (OZ) or (FZ). With the water contents mentioned in the range of 0 to 8% by weight, the compositions (OZ) and (FZ) are by definition considered anhydrous within the meaning of the present application. These indications relate to the free water content. This does not take into account the content of water bound at the molecular level or water of crystallization, potentially associated with individual powder constituents.The water content can be measured with a moisture analyzer or a moisture meter, for example a moisture meter from Mettler, model Mettler HS 153, the loss on drying being determined at 105 °C, stop criterion 50 seconds with a product weight of 1 to 1.5 grams.

[0038] In one embodiment of the invention, the anhydrous oxidation composition (OZ) of the coloring kit according to the invention and preferred according to the invention contains the agent solid oxidant sodium percarbonate. Sodium percarbonate is understood to mean an addition product of H2O2 with the formula 2 Na2CO3-3 H2O2. When mixed with the coloring composition containing the alkalizing agent (FZ) and water, the ready-to-use coloring agent is obtained, in which the sodium percarbonate develops its effect as an oxidizing agent.

[0039] The preferred coloring kits according to the invention and the preferred coloring methods according to the invention are characterized in that the sodium percarbonate is contained in the oxidation composition (OZ) in a total amount of 20 to 100% by weight, preferably 40 to 90% by weight, preferably 45 to 80% by weight, in particular 55% to 70% by weight, relative to the weight of the oxidation composition (OZ).

[0040] It may be preferred in an exceptional manner according to the invention that the sodium percarbonate is contained in the oxidation composition (OZ) in a total amount of 100% by weight, relative to the weight of the oxidation composition (OZ).

[0041] In another preferred embodiment of the coloring kit according to the invention and of the coloring method according to the invention, the sodium percarbonate is present in coated form, preferably coated with at least one salt chosen from sodium carbonate, sodium hydrogen carbonate or sodium chloride and mixtures of these salts.

[0042] Another preferred embodiment of the coloring process according to the invention is characterized in that the ready-to-use coloring agent contains 1.0 to 7.0% by weight, preferably 1.5 to 6.0% by weight, preferably 2.5 to 5.2% by weight, in particular 2.7 to 4.7% by weight, exceptionally preferably 3.0 to 3.6% by weight of sodium percarbonate, in each case relative to the weight of the ready-to-use coloring agent.

[0043] In another embodiment of the invention, the anhydrous oxidation composition (OZ) of the coloring kit according to the invention and preferred according to the invention contains the solid oxidizing agent sodium perborate. When mixed with the coloring composition containing the alkalizing agent (FZ) and water, the ready-to-use coloring agent is obtained, in which the sodium perborate develops its effect as an oxidizing agent.

[0044] The preferred coloring kits according to the invention and the preferred coloring methods according to the invention are characterized in that the sodium perborate is contained in the oxidation composition (OZ) in a total amount of 20 to 100% by weight, preferably 40 to 90% by weight, preferably 45 to 80% by weight, in particular 55% to 70% by weight, relative to the weight of the oxidation composition (OZ).

[0045] It may be preferred in an exceptional manner according to the invention that the perborate of sodium is contained in the oxidation composition (OZ) in a total amount of 100% by weight, relative to the weight of the oxidation composition (OZ).

[0046] Another preferred embodiment of the coloring process according to the invention is characterized in that the ready-to-use coloring agent contains 1.0 to 7.0% by weight, preferably 1.5 to 6.0% by weight, preferably 2.5 to 5.2% by weight, in particular 2.7 to 4.7% by weight, exceptionally preferably 3.0 to 3.6% by weight of sodium perborate, in each case relative to the weight of the ready-to-use coloring agent.

[0047] The use of at least one solid oxidizing agent, activatable with water, chosen from sodium percarbonate and sodium perborate, makes it possible to eliminate the addition of a hydrogen peroxide solution. The coloring kits according to the invention are therefore more stable during storage and safer compared to coloring kits comprising a hydrogen peroxide solution. Persulfates, such as sodium persulfate, ammonium persulfate and potassium persulfate, cannot be activated solely with water, but require the addition of a solution containing hydrogen peroxide. The coloring kits and coloring methods according to the invention are therefore free of persulfate.

[0048] The physical state "solid" refers to standard conditions, namely 20 °C and 10 5Pa. Unless otherwise indicated, all indications relating to the physical state refer to these standard conditions.

[0049] The oxidation composition according to the invention (OZ) is further characterized in that it does not contain any polysaccharide. It has surprisingly been found that the joint storage of an oxidizing agent, chosen from sodium percarbonate and sodium perborate, with polysaccharides results in disadvantages for both ingredients in terms of long-term stability.

[0050] One embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the oxidation composition according to the invention (OZ) contains precipitated silica as a thickener. The precipitated silica used according to the invention is in powder form. The preferred precipitated silica according to the invention has a tapped density in the range of 100 to 400 g / l, preferably in the range of 200 to 300 g / l, particularly preferably in the range of 230 to 260 g / L, preferably measured according to DIN ISO 787-11 of October 1995. The preferred precipitated silica according to the invention is further characterized in that its 5% by weight suspension reacts weakly acidically in water, i.e. it has a pH in the range of 6.0 to 6.9, preferably in the range of 6.3 to 6.7, extremely preferably 6.5, preferably measured according to DIN ISO 787-9 of September 2019.

[0051] The use of precipitated silica as a thickener produces a stable viscosity, independent of the salt content of the ready-to-use coloring agent obtained by mixing the oxidation composition (OZ) with the coloring composition (FZ) and water. This improves the application properties of the final product, as it allows the ready-to-use coloring agent to remain on the hair for the duration of the application time without running. Another advantage of precipitated silica as a thickener is its ecological balance: the raw material is based on natural raw materials and is not a microplastic.

[0052] The preferred coloring kits and coloring methods according to the invention are characterized in that the anhydrous oxidation composition (OZ) contains precipitated silica as a thickener at a concentration of 0.2 to 80.0% by weight, preferably 1.0 to 60% by weight, particularly preferably 5 to 25% by weight, exceptionally preferably 8 to 15% by weight, in each case relative to the weight of the oxidation composition (OZ).

[0053] A variant of the embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the coloring composition according to the invention (FZ) contains precipitated silica as a thickener. The precipitated silica to be used in (FZ) has the same characteristics as those described above in relation to (OZ).

[0054] The preferred coloring kits and coloring methods according to the invention are characterized in that the anhydrous coloring composition (FZ) contains precipitated silica as a thickener at a concentration of 0.2 to 50.0% by weight, preferably 1.0 to 35% by weight, particularly preferably 5 to 10% by weight, in each case relative to the weight of the coloring composition (FZ).

[0055] Further preferred coloring kits and coloring methods according to the invention are characterized in that the anhydrous coloring composition (FZ) contains precipitated silica as a thickener in a concentration of 0.2 to 50.0% by weight, preferably 1.0 to 35% by weight, particularly preferably 5 to 10% by weight, in each case based on the weight of the coloring composition (FZ), and the anhydrous oxidation composition (OZ) contains precipitated silica as a thickener in a concentration of 0.2 to 80.0% by weight, preferably 1.0 to 60% by weight, particularly preferably 5 to 25% by weight, exceptionally preferably 8 to 15% by weight, in each case based on the weight of the oxidation composition (OZ).

[0056] In another preferred embodiment of the coloring kit according to the invention and of the coloring method according to the invention, the oxidation composition (OZ) contains at least one adjuvant chosen from fillers, anti-caking agents and drying agents as well as mixtures of these adjuvants. These adjuvants are intended to prevent clumping or sticking of the powder components of the anhydrous compositions (OZ) and (FZ).

[0057] Particularly preferred fillers are chosen from sodium sulfate and sodium chloride and mixtures thereof. Sodium chloride is particularly preferred because it can enhance the oxidizing effect of sodium percarbonate. This is particularly desirable for achieving light shades.

[0058] Particularly preferred anti-caking agents are chosen from pyrogenic silicic acids, diatomaceous earth, calcium phosphate, calcium silicates, aluminum oxide, magnesium oxide, magnesium carbonate, zinc oxide, stearates and mixtures thereof.

[0059] Particularly preferred drying agents are chosen from sodium sulfate, sodium carbonate, magnesium sulfate, calcium chloride and pyrogenic silicic acids and mixtures thereof.

[0060] The preferred coloring kits according to the invention and the preferred coloring methods according to the invention are characterized in that the oxidation composition (OZ) contains at least one adjuvant chosen from fillers, anti-caking agents and drying agents as well as mixtures of these adjuvants, in a total amount of 0.5 to 80% by weight, preferably 5 to 65% by weight, preferably 10 to 55% by weight, in particular 20 to 35% by weight, relative to the weight of the oxidation composition (OZ).

[0061] The anhydrous coloring composition (FZ) of the coloring kit according to the invention and preferred according to the invention contains at least one developer-type oxidation dye precursor (developer constituent) and at least one coupler-type oxidation dye precursor (coupler constituent).

[0062] The preferred developer constituents according to the invention are chosen from the group consisting of toluene-2,5-diamine, 2-methoxymethyl-p-phenylenediamine, 2-(2,5-diaminophenyl)ethanol, p-phenylenediamine, 2-(1,2-dihydroxyethyl)-p-phenylenediamine, N,N-bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)-p-phenylenediamine, 4,5-diamino-1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1H-pyrazole, 4-aminophenol, 3-methyl-4-aminophenol, N-(4-amino-3-methylphenyl)-N-[3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)propyl]amine, N,N'-bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N,N'-bis-(4-aminophenyl)-1,3-diamino-propan-2-ol, bis-(2-hydroxy-5-aminophenyl)methane, l,3-bis-(2,5-diaminophenoxy)propan-2-ol, N,N'-bis-(4-aminophenyl)-l,4-diazacycloheptane, l,10-bis-(2,5-diaminophenyl)-l,4,7,10-tetraoxadecane, 2,4,5,6-tetraaminopyrimidine, 4-hydroxy-2,5,6-triaminopyrimidine, 2-hydroxy-4,5,6-triaminopyrimidine, 2,3-Diamino-6,7-dihydro-lH,5H-pyrazolo-[l,2-a]-pyrazol-l-one and their physiologically acceptable salts and their mixtures.

[0070] The coloring composition according to the invention (FZ) is further characterized in that it contains at least one alkalizing agent chosen from sodium silicates and sodium metasilicates, each having a SiO2 / Na2O molar ratio of 0.8 to 3.7, preferably 1.0 to 3.6, particularly preferably 2.5 to 3.5. The solid alkalizing agents can be suitably incorporated into the anhydrous coloring composition (FZ). Upon dissolution of the coloring composition (FZ) in water, these alkalizing agents produce the alkaline pH necessary for the activation of the sodium percarbonate.

[0071] The preferred coloring kits according to the invention and the preferred coloring methods according to the invention are characterized in that the coloring composition (FZ) contains at least one alkalizing agent selected from sodium silicates and sodium metasilicates, each having a SiO2 / Na2O molar ratio of 0.8 to 3.7, preferably 1.0 to 3.6, particularly preferably 2.5 to 3.5, in a total amount of 5 to 50% by weight, preferably 8 to 40% by weight, particularly preferably 10 to 35% by weight, exceptionally preferably 15 to 25% by weight, in each case relative to the weight of the anhydrous coloring composition (FZ).

[0072] Another preferred embodiment of the coloring process according to the invention is characterized in that the ready-to-use coloring agent contains at least one alkalizing agent selected from sodium silicates and sodium metasilicates, each having a SiO2 / Na2O molar ratio of 0.8 to 3.7, preferably 1.0 to 3.6, particularly preferably 2.5 to 3.5, in a total amount of 0.8 to 5.0% by weight, preferably 1.0 to 4.0% by weight, particularly preferably 1.2 to 3.5% by weight, in each case relative to the weight of the ready-to-use coloring agent.

[0073] Further preferred coloring kits according to the invention and preferred coloring methods according to the invention are characterized in that the coloring composition (FZ) contains basic magnesium carbonate (magnesium carbonate hydroxide) as secondary alkalizing agent. Basic magnesium carbonate (magnesium carbonate hydroxide) has several advantages within the scope of the invention: it has a weaker alkaline effect than sodium silicates and metasilicates, which each have a SiO2 / Na2O molar ratio of 0.8 to 3.7, preferably 1.0 to 3.6, particularly preferably 2.5 to 3.5, and thus buffers the alkalinity of the ready-to-use coloring agent. Adjusting the pH value preferred according to the invention of the ready-to-use coloring agent with only one of the aforementioned sodium (meta)silicates can produce undesirable foaming when preparing the application mixture.This phenomenon is limited by the addition of basic magnesium carbonate (magnesium carbonate hydroxide). In addition, basic magnesium carbonate (magnesium carbonate hydroxide) has very good adsorption properties. These can be used to extract dust from . the anhydrous coloring composition (FZ) with an oil. The adsorption of an oil added for dust extraction binds the fine powder particles of the individual components of the coloring composition (FZ), so that a low-dust or dust-free powder is obtained. In addition, the ready-to-use coloring agent forms a fine creamy mass in the presence of basic magnesium carbonate (magnesium carbonate hydroxide).

[0074] The preferred coloring kits according to the invention and the preferred coloring methods according to the invention are characterized in that the coloring composition (FZ) contains 5 to 16% by weight, preferably 6 to 14% by weight, particularly preferably 8 to 11% by weight of basic magnesium carbonate (magnesium carbonate hydroxide), in each case relative to the weight of the anhydrous coloring composition (FZ).

[0075] Another preferred embodiment of the coloring process according to the invention is characterized in that the ready-to-use coloring agent contains 0.5 to 2.0% by weight, preferably 0.6 to 1.2% by weight, particularly preferably 0.7 to 1.0% by weight, of basic magnesium carbonate (magnesium carbonate hydroxide), in each case relative to the weight of the ready-to-use coloring agent.

[0076] The anhydrous coloring composition (FZ) of the coloring kit according to the invention and preferred according to the invention further contains at least one polysaccharide as thickener, chosen from sodium carboxymethylcellulose and xanthan gum and their mixtures.

[0077] The preferred coloring kits according to the invention and the preferred coloring methods according to the invention are characterized in that the anhydrous cosmetic coloring composition (FZ) and the anhydrous composition (OZ) containing sodium percarbonate are present in a weight ratio of [FZ] / [OZ] in the range of 1:1 to 6:1, preferably 1.1:1 to 4:1, particularly preferably 1.5:1 to 3:1.

[0078] The combination of the thickener and the alkalizing agent used according to the invention leads to easier handling of the ready-to-use coloring agent which can be prepared from the kit according to the invention and water.

[0079] When mixing the anhydrous components of the kit according to the invention (OZ) and (FZ) with water, the mixture remains of low viscosity during the first few seconds of mixing, so that mixing can be carried out easily and quickly. The viscosity then increases and the ready-to-use coloring agent can be easily applied to the keratin fibers due to the higher viscosity. After the usual time required for mixing and application, maximum viscosity is reached. The already applied mixture does not run off the hair. As the combination of thickener and alkalizing agent used according to the invention develops progress- sively the viscosity of the ready-to-use agent, the ready-to-use coloring agent which can be prepared from the kit according to the invention is easier to handle.

[0080] According to the invention, "xanthans" means natural polysaccharides obtainable from sugar substrates using bacteria of the genus Xanthomonas. Preferably, the xanthan d-glucose, d-mannose, d-glucuronic acid, acetate and pyruvate used according to the invention contains a molar ratio of 28:30:20:17:5.1-6.3, the main chain consisting of glucose units linked to the [3-1,4 (also called cellulose chain).
