Abstract:
The present invention relates to a liquid softening through the wash laundry detergent composition comprising: (a) at least 0.5% by weight of the composition, of a fabric softening silicone; and (b) a fatty acid; and (c) a surfactant system, the surfactant system comprising: (i) at least 75% by weight of the surfactant system, of a non-alkoxylated anionic surfactant; and (ii) less than 25% by weight of the surfactant system, of an alkoxylated surfactant; and (d) one or more laundry detergent adjunct ingredients.
Abstract:
Heavy duty liquid detergent compositions containing an anionic surfactant component, fatty acid and a quaternary ammonium fabric-softening agent of the formula ##STR1## The anionic surfactant component comprises, by weight of the composition, from about 5% to 40% of alkyl polyethoxylate sulfates and no more than about 5% of alkyl benzene sulfonates. The compositions are substantially clear and isotropic, provide excellent cleaning of soils and provide softening through the wash and anti-static benefits. The compositions preferably also contain an ethoxylated nonionic surfactant, a detergent builder and enzymes.

Abstract:
Liquid compositions, particularly for use as hard surface cleaners, comprise terpenes, benzyl alcohol and abrasives. The compositions provide excellent cleaning of both greasy and particulate soils from hard surfaces without streaking or filming, excellent formulation homogeneity, stability and viscosity characteristics, as well as good suds control.
Abstract:
Aqueous laundry detergent compositions containing surfactants and fatty acid, having a pH of from about 6 to about 11 and containing a polymer having a number average molecular weight of from about 700,000 to about 4,000,000 and comprising monomeric units including: nonionic monomers selected from acrylamide, N,N-dialkyl acrylamide, methacrylamide, N,N-dialkylmethacrylamide, hydroxyalkyl acrylate and vinyl pyrrolidone, vinyl acetate, vinyl alcohol, and mixtures thereof; cationic monomers selected from N,N-dialkylaminoalkyl methacrylate, N,N-dialkylaminoalkyl acrylate, N,N-dialkylaminoalkyl acrylamide, N,N-dialkylaminoalkylmethacrylamide, methacylamidoalkyl trialkylammonium chloride, acrylamidoalkylltrialkylammonium chloride, vinylamine, quaternized vinyl imidazole and diallyl dialkyl ammonium chloride, and mixtures thereof; and anionic monomers selected from acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, maleic acid, vinyl sulfonic acid, styrene sulfonic acid, acrylamidopropylmethane sulfonic acid (AMPS), salts thereof, and mixtures thereof; in a specified mole ratio.
Abstract:
The present invention relates a unit dose fabric treatment product comprising a non-aqueous liquid fabric treatment composition contained in a single compartment water-soluble pouch. The inner space of said pouch comprises (A) a cleaning system comprising more than 5% by weight of the fabric treatment composition of at least one anionic surfactant; and (B) a fabric softening system comprising at least one non-cationic fabric softening active selected from the group consisting of fabric softening clays, fabric softening silicones, and mixtures thereof, wherein the fabric softening clay is added as a premix comprising the clay and a solvent; wherein the fabric softening silicone is added as a premix comprising the silicone and a solvent or wherein the fabric softening silicone is added as pure compound without any solvent.The invention further relates to a method of producing such compositions and to the use of such compositions to impart fabric-cleaning and fabric-softening benefits via single compartment water-soluble pouches to fabrics treated therewith.
Abstract:
A composition in a water-soluble pouch, the pouch comprises at least two compartments, and each compartment contains a different component of the composition, wherein a first compartment contains a first component and the first component comprises a liquid matrix and a source of peracid.
Abstract:
A water-soluble pouch containing a liquid composition wherein the water-soluble pouch is made from a film comprising a co-polymer of vinyl alcohol and a carboxylic acid, wherein the liquid composition contained within said pouch comprises at least one dissolved ionic component selected from the group consisting of carboxylates, phosphonates, and mixtures thereof, and from 5% to 15% by weight of the liquid composition of water, and wherein said pouch is processed using a vacuum formed, horizontal form-fill-seal process.
