A controlled delivery system for active ingredients, like a fragrance, for use in fabric softener products, such as tumble dryer sheets, rinse added liquids, and similar products, is disclosed. The delivery system enhances performance of an active ingredient, such as a fragrance. The controlled delivery system contains polymeric micro-particles highly loaded with the active ingredient. Other active ingredients that can be incorporated into a fabric softener composition using the delivery system include ironing aides, silicone fluids, antiwrinkle agents, antistatic agents, optical brighteners, fabric crisping agents, bleaching agents, germicides, fungicides, flow agents, and surfactants.
摘要:
Geocomposite articles that can provide a barrier against high conductivity water e.g., ocean water, are described and their method of manufacture, for waterproofing surfaces that contact high conductivity water. The geocomposite article mat includes a woven or non-woven geotextile sheet or mat containing a powdered or granular partially cross-linked acrylamide/acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer across its entire major surface(s). The powdered or granular copolymer has an unexpectedly high free-swell when hydrated with High Conductivity water, such as ocean water. A liquid-impermeable cover sheet is adhered to the upper major surfaces of the filled copolymer-carrying geotextile to provide a primary high conductivity water barrier layer that, if ruptured, is sealed by the swell of an underlying layer of water-insoluble, partially cross-linked acrylamide/acrylic acid copolymer.
摘要:
A single dose dispensing package (100) having a backing (102) for maintaining the package in a substantially flat orientation is disclosed. A score (106) through the backing allows the package to open upon flexure. At least one additional score on the opposite side provides at least one metered opening in the package. Absorbent material (112) placed over the score, and adhered to the dispensing package only in the area of the score, provides controlled dispensing and application of the contents using essentially an entire surface of the absorbent material as an applicator.
摘要:
A cleansing or a surface-conditioning composition comprising a mixture of (i) and (ii) in water: i) a surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic, non- ionic, zwitterionic, cationic, and mixtures thereof; and ii) a hydrophobic benefit agent in a particulate form having a mean particle size in the range of i - 1,000 micron, and a specific gravity of > l, not encapsulated within a film or a capsule-like enclosure, the particulate hydrophobic benefit agent comprising: a) a physically- modified form of the hydrophobic benefit agent; and b) a deposition-aid material bonded to the surface of the physically-modified benefit agent, wherein the bonding between the benefit agent and the deposition-aid material is achieved prior to addition to i), wherein said deposition-aid material is not a surfactant having a weight average molecular weight of less than 5,000 Dalton.
摘要:
Compositions containing a delivery system including polymeric microparticles capable of undergoing a visual change, such as a color change, after application to a substrate are disclosed. The delivery system informs a consumer that the composition has been properly applied and/or has performed its intended function.
摘要:
A tri-block copolymer is disclosed for use as an impact modifier in polyamide compounds also containing a compatibilizer, preferably also having reinforcing organoclay exfoliated and dispersed therein. The tri-block copolymer comprises an aromatic monomer, an olefin monomer, and a alkyl (meth)acrylate monomer.
摘要:
An improved production water treatment system and method are disclosed. The treatment apparatus includes a vertically oriented vessel (11) with tangentially disposed injection nozzles including one or more water input inlets (P1,P2) for the introduction of production water and one or more recycle fluid/sparge gas inlets (R1,R2,R3,R4) for the introduction of recycled water from the vessel (11) and a sparge gas. The tangential orientation of the injection nozzles creates a cyclonic flow within the vessel for improved sparge gas bubble/hydrocarbon contact. A hydrocarbon-rich layer migrates to the top surface (14) of the liquid in the vessel (11) where it is removed about a center axis of the vessel (11). The resulting hydrocarbon-lean production water has a sufficiently low hydrocarbon content that it is eligible for more intensive processing, such as with organophillic clay cartridges.
摘要:
Concentrated suspensions of smectite clays are obtained as either relatively “thin” or highly shear-thinning slurries that are easy to pump, by adding one or more of certain cationic polymers whose weight average molecular weight, Mw, is 50,000 or higher. It was found during the course of the invention that a cationic polymer with an Mw of 10,000 did not work, while the same polymer with a bimodal Mw of 50,000 and 30,000 worked satisfactorily. To achieve the full advantage of the present invention, the cationic polymer preferably has 1 to 10 milliequivalents of cationic charge per gram of the polymer, and more preferably 5 to 10 milliequivalents of cationic charge per gram of the polymer, and most preferably 6 to 8 milliequivalents of cationic charge per gram of the polymer.
摘要:
By applying a polymerization catalyst or polymerization initiator directly to a liquid-absorbent or liquid-adsorbent (hereinafter collectively referred to as "liquid-sorbent") substrate, preferably a porous geotextile in sheet material form, to form a polymerization-initiating substrate or sheet material, a slurry of a monomer and a water-absorbent clay that is subsequently embedded in the porous substrate will have its monomer content sufficiently contacted by the polymerization catalyst or polymerization initiator for complete polymerization of the embedded monomer to form embedded polymer solids and clay, without the monomer partially polymerizing before contacting the substrate. It has been found that polymerization of the monomer while in contact with the substrate achieves best results in retention of embedded and interlocked polymer and clay solids. Preferably only the polymerization catalyst or polymerization initiator, and optionally a cross-linker for the monomer, and/or a polymer neutralizing agent, together with any carrier, such as water or an organic solvent, are applied to the liquid-sorbent substrate prior to embedding the monomer into the substrate. In another embodiment, the cross-linker and/or the polymer neutralizing agent are embedded into the substrate together with the polymerization catalyst and/or polymerization initiator.
