Abstract:
This application relates to laundry care compositions comprising thiophene azo carboxylate fabric shading dyes and methods of treating a textile comprising such laundry care compositions.
Abstract:
This invention relates to bis-azo colorants for use as bluing agents, laundry care compositions comprising bis-azo colorants that may serve as bluing agents, processes for making such bluing agents and laundry care compositions and methods of using the same. The bluing agents are generally comprised of at least two components: at least one chromophore component and at least one polymeric component. These bluing agents are advantageous in providing a whitening effect to fabrics, while not building up over time and causing undesirable blue discoloration to the treated fabrics.
Abstract:
This application relates to thiophene azo dyes for use as hueing agents, laundry care compositions comprising such thiophene azo dyes, processes for making such thiophene azo dyes, and laundry care compositions and methods of using the same. The thiophene azo dyes contain a formally charged moiety and are generally comprised of at least two components: at least one chromophore component and at least one polymeric component. Suitable chromophore components generally fluoresce blue, red, violet, or purple color when exposed to ultraviolet light, or they may absorb light to reflect these same shades. These thiophene azo dyes are advantageous in providing a hueing effect, for example, a whitening effect to fabrics, while not building up over time and causing undesirable blue discoloration to the treated fabrics. The thiophene azo dyes are also generally stable to bleaching agents used in laundry care compositions.
Abstract:
This invention relates to cleaning compositions comprising organic catalysts having enhanced enzyme compatibility and processes for making and using such cleaning compositions.
Abstract:
A novel class of ionic liquids and methods for their preparation are disclosed. Specifically, these novel ionic liquids can be derived from surfactants, such as betaines, amine oxides. The present invention also relates to compositions containing these novel ionic liquids and method of using the same.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to organic activators having the following general formula (I): wherein R 1 is a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl or aryl moiety comprising at least five carbons, R 2 is a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl moiety comprising less than five carbons, R 3 is a suitable bridging moiety, R 4 is a charged moiety, N is nitrogen, each G is, independently, an oxygen containing moiety and Z, when present, is a charge balancing counter ion. The present invention also relates to cleaning compositions comprising said organic activators, and processes for making and using the aforementioned organic activators and cleaning compositions.

Abstract:
A laundry detergent composition comprising: (a) detersive surfactant; (b) bluing agent, and (c) a clay and soil removal/anti-redeposition agent; and (d) optionally, one or more additional laundry detergent ingredients.
Abstract:
Laundry detergent composition comprising: a specific bleach catalyst a hueing dye, and a source of peracid, wherein either Y/X is below 0.8, with X being the weight percentage of hueing dye of the detergent composition that is released in the wash liquor after 1 min, and Y being the weight percentage of said bleach catalyst that is released in the wash liquor after 1 min, when 10 g of said laundry detergent composition are mixed with 1 l of deionised water at 25C to form a wash liquor, or wherein Z/X is below 0.8, with X being the weight percentage of hueing dye of the detergent composition that is released in the wash liquor after 1 min, and Z being the weight percentage of peracid that is released in the wash liquor after 1 min, when 10 g of said laundry detergent composition are mixed with 1 l of deionised water at 25C to form a wash liquor.
Abstract:
The present disclosure describes processes for producing cyclohexenes using Lewis acidic ionic liquids comprising the steps of providing to a reactor an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl dienophile, providing to the reactor a 1,3-diene, providing a Lewis acidic ionic liquid to the reactor; and reacting the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl dienophile with 1,3-diene to form a substituted cyclohexene product. The α,β-unsaturated carbonyl dienophile can be mesityl oxide, the 1,3-diene can be piperylene; and the Lewis acidic ionic liquid can be AlCl 3 :[C 2 mim]Cl; AlCl 3 :[C 8 mim]Cl; or mixtures thereof.
