摘要:
Cyclodextrin complexes are prepared utilizing processes in which the cyclodextrin/active complex is prepared under concentrated reaction conditions in which there is no more than about 40% solvent, e.g., water, with mechanical working, to provide a complex ultimate particle size of less than about 12 microns and the resulting complex reaction mixture is incorporated, preferably without further operation, into at least one fabric conditioning material, preferably cationic fabric conditioning active, preferably in liquid (molten) form, preferably at a temperature between about 60 and about 95.degree. C., and mechanically worked to reduce complex aggregate particle size below about 200 microns. The resulting complex/fabric conditioning material mixture is used to prepare, e.g., dryer-added fabric softener article, e.g., sheet. The mixture of complex and fabric softener material preferably contains a small amount of an anionic surfactant to help avoid deposition of, e.g., unreacted cyclodextrin onto the equipment used to prepare the fabric conditioning composition and/or article (sheet).
摘要:
Cyclodextrin complex is suspended in polyalkylene glycol carrier material that does not displace the included material. The preferred perfume/cyclodextrin complexes, either alone or admixed with solvent (e.g., water), are preferably suspended in the carrier and then incorporated into solid, dryer-activated, fabric treatment (conditioning) compositions, preferably containing fabric softeners, more preferably cationic and/or nonionic fabric softeners. The perfume complexes provide fabrics with perfume benefits when they are rewetted after drying. Volatile perfume materials, including those materials that are commonly associated with "freshness" can be applied to the fabrics in an effective way.
摘要:
Fabric softening compositions, preferably in liquid form, for use in the rinse cycle of home laundry operations are improved by: (a) using certain protected water sensitive materials, especially particulate complexes of cyclodextrins and perfumes, which are protected in fabric softening compositions and/or detergent compositions, by e.g., imbedding said particulate complex in relatively high melting protective material that is substantially water-insoluble and, preferably, non-water-swellable and is solid at normal storage conditions, but which melts at the temperatures encountered in automatic fabric dryers (laundry dryers); (b) using soil release polymers to help suspend water-insoluble particles in aqueous fabric softening compositions; and/or (c) preparing the said protected particulate water sensitive materials (complexes) by melting the said high melting materials, dispersing the said particulate complexes, or other water sensitive material, in the molten high melting protective material and dispersing the resulting molten mixture in aqueous media, especially surfactant solution or aqueous fabric softener composition, and cooling to form small, smooth, spherical particles of the particulate complexes, or other water sensitive material, substantially protected by the high melting material.
摘要:
Polymeric soil release agents that have high viscosities when molten are difficult to process. Certain organic materials can be added to such agents to lower the viscosity and improve processing. Examples of such organic materials include fatty acids, some nonionic ethylene glycol derivatives, polyethylene or polypropylene glycols and their short alkyl chain ethers, certain polyhydroxy and alkyl ether solvents, and aryl ethers of propylene glycol.
摘要:
Dryer-added fabric conditioning articles and methods utilizing a fabric conditioning composition which is released in the dryer by a dispensing means, the fabric conditioning composition comprising an improved uniform and stable mixture of: a polymeric soil release agent, particularly a higher molecular weight or a higher viscosity polymeric soil release agent, a dispersing aid, a fabric softening agent, and a viscosity control agent. The dispersing aid is used to improve the stability and the uniformity of the fabric conditioning composition.

A tamper-evident securement device for use in securing closed a drawer of a furniture, comprising: a flexible extending closure member comprising an at least partially flexible attaching portion disposed within the furniture, and a flexible locking portion comprising a distal end section that traverses a gap between the drawer and a drawer opening when the drawer is closed, and provides an aperture that is disposed outside the furniture; and a securement member disposed within the furniture that attaches the extending closure member to an inner surface of a top side of the furniture; wherein a lock device can be inserted through the aperture of the flexible locking portion. The tamper-evident securement device may employ a shield plate. For installation of the tamper-evident securement device, an implement may be utilized.
摘要:
New sandwich product, particularly a fast food sandwich product that contains appreciable amounts of salad ingredients, and to a salad insert suitable for use in such sandwich product to improve the diet of the consumer. The sandwich product can include a layer of a meat or protein portion with the layer of a wrapped salad portion that are placed on or enclosed between a bread portion. The wrapped salad portion uses an edible wrapper to enclose the salad ingredients. The edible wrapper can be an edible processed wrapper such as rice paper or soy paper, or an edible natural wrapper such as a lettuce leaf or cabbage leaf, or a combination thereof. An edible humectant can be used in the source of water used for moistening a dried sheet of a rice paper for improving the resistance to drying of a moistened rice paper. Salad dressing can be injected through the outer layer of the wrapped salad portion using a needle.
