Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an acidic hard surface treatment composition which provides a cleaning and disinfecting benefit comprising: an acidic constituent which comprises water soluble organic acid; at least one anionic surfactant constituent; at least one nonionic surfactant constituent; at least one organic solvent constituent; optionally one or more further constituents and the balance, water. The compositions exhibit surprising efficacy against various gram positive and gram negative type pathogenic bacteria, as well as against fungi in the absence of known cationic quaternary ammonium compounds known to be effective against pathogenic bacteria, as well as other known-art antimicrobial constituents and bleach are excluded
Abstract:
Principal solvents, especially mono-ol and diol principal solvents, having a ClogP of from about 0.15 to about 0.64, preferably from about 0.25 to about 0.62, and more preferably from about 0.40 to about 0.60, are disclosed that have the ability to make clear aqueous fabric softener compositions containing relatively high concentrations of fabric softener actives having ester linkages in their long, hydrophobic chains. The fabric softener actives are either unsaturated, or have intermediate length chains (˜C12-14) and the said principal solvents are used at levels of less than about 40%. Other solvents may be present. Some of the said principal solvents are novel compounds and/or novel mixtures. Premixes of the fabric softening actives, the principal solvents, and, optionally, other solvents are useful in the preparation of complete formulations by obviating/limiting the need for heating.
Abstract:
According to one feature of the present invention there is provided a composition comprising at least one alcohol, at least one long-chain alkyl polyamine. According to a further feature of the present invention there is provided a composition comprising at least one long-chain alkyl polyamine and at least one halogen. Both compositions being suitable for application to a surface and substantially all of the microbial contamination.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a non-cationic antimicrobial agent containing composition which blooms when added to water. The compositions have good cleaning, disinfecting and bloom properties.
Abstract:
A cleaning composition for cleaning particulate contamination from small dimensions on microelectronic device substrates. The cleaning composition contains dense CO2 (preferably supercritical CO2 (SCCO2)), alcohol, fluoride source, anionic surfactant source, non-ionic surfactant source, and optionally, hydroxyl additive. Such cleaning composition overcomes the intrinsic deficiency of SCCO2 as a cleaning reagent, viz., the non-polar character of SCCO2 and its associated inability to solubilize species such as inorganic salts and polar organic compounds that are present in particulate contamination on wafer substrates and that must be removed from the microelectronic device substrate for efficient cleaning. The cleaning composition enables damage-free, residue-free cleaning of substrates having particulate contamination on Si/SiO2 substrates.

The present invention provides a non-cationic antimicrobial agent containing composition which blooms when added to water. The compositions have good cleaning, disinfecting and bloom properties.
Abstract:
A process for the production of a flowable suspension containing phthalimidoperoxyhexanoic acid by combining phthalimidoperoxyhexanoic acid in granular form with a liquid alcohol and grinding the combination to form a flowable suspension of the phthalimidoperoxyhexanoic acid in the alcohol.
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to compositions and methods for cleaning hard surfaces. More particularly, the present invention relates to cleaning compositions which can be used in automotive applications for removing organic soils that accumulate on automotive surfaces without causing surface paint damage. Such cleaning compositions of the present invention are environmentally safe and contain no or low amounts of volatile organic compounds.
Abstract:
This invention concerns products for cleansing and other applications that comprise a sheet of absorbent material, in particular of non-woven material, such as a wipe, to which are applied a lipid and an aqueous phase. The invention further concerns the manufacture and use of such products.
Abstract:
Contaminant solubilizing compositions are provided that are suitable for use in a variety of textile applications, including dyeing applications. The contaminant solubilizing compositions generally include at least one C1 to C4 ester of lactic acid, at least one surfactant and at least one solvent. The contaminant solubilizing compositions may be used either alone or within larger textile cleaning compositions to remove contaminants from the surfaces of textile articles or the manufacturing equipment used to process textile articles, including dyeing equipment.
