Abstract:
Hydrophobically modified polycarboxylate polymers of Formula 1: are useful for promoting soil release from fabrics, particularly cotton and cotton-containing fabrics, by contacting the fabrics with compositions comprising said polymers.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a fabric washing composition and aqueous treatment solution for inhibiting dye from transferring from one fabric to the same or different fabric in a fabric washing process. The fabric washing composition and aqueous treatment solution contain at least one dye deposition inhibiting polymer. The dye deposition inhibiting polymer contains, as polymerized units, from 5 to 100 weight percent of at least one vinyl amide monomer and from 0 to 95 weight percent of one or more vinyl ester monomers. The present invention also provides a method for inhibiting the deposition of dye by adding at least one of dye deposition inhibiting polymer useful in the present invention to a fabric washing process where dye may be released.

Abstract:
A plate washing system and method of cleaning pipes of the plate washing system. The plate washing system includes at least one manifold having a plurality of pipes configured to be provided within wells of a plate in order to wash the wells, at least one manifold having a plurality of pipes, a tank, an ultrasonic transducer mounted to the tank, and a control system. When tips of the pipes are positioned within the tank, the control system activates the ultrasonic transducer in order to vibrate a fluid within the tank.

Abstract:
A polymerizable composition including a late transition metal complex, a non-polar olefin, a polar olefin, and a free radical scavenger, wherein the polymerizable composition is capable of forming a linear poly[(non-polar olefin)-(polar olefin)] substantially free of free radical addition polymer, is disclosed. A method of copolymerizing a non-polar olefin with a polar olefin, catalyzed by a late transition metal complex in the presence of a free radical scavenger, to produce a linear poly[(non-polar olefin)-(polar olefin)] substantially free of free radical addition polymer is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A catalyst composition useful for catalyzing the polymerization of olefinic monomers is disclosed, along with a polymerization method using those catalyst compositions to prepare a variety of polyolefins from olefinic monomers. A method for preparation of the catalyst composition by combining an epoxy functional porous organic polymer, a catalytic component, and an activator component is also disclosed.
