Abstract:
A substantially non-aqueous concentrated rinse-aid composition for the heat-free drying of plastic-ware and other dishwashing items, the composition comprising at least 20% by weight of one or more super-wetting surfactants. The composition provides excellent finishing and care of the dishwashing load.
Abstract:
Methods of formulating enzyme cocktails based on the presence of enzyme-hydrolysable components in a target stain and/or soil. More specifically, the formulation of an enzyme cocktail comprising a specific enzyme for each component in a target stain and/or soil, optionally wherein each enzyme is incorporated at a level corresponding to the level of an enzyme-hydrolysable component in said target stain and/or soil. Further, enzyme cocktails for removing egg-based and grass-based stains, optionally formulated in accordance with the methods disclosed herein. Moreover, compositions and products comprising the enzyme cocktails disclosed herein and methods of using same.
Abstract:
Detergent or bleach composition comprising a host-guest complex of diacyl and/or tetraacyl peroxide bleaching species in the form of an aggregate having a weight average particle size of at least 106 μm and an anti-deposition polymer.
Abstract:
Detergent or bleach composition for use in automatic dishwashing comprising a colour stain cleaning system comprising diacyl and/or tetraacyl peroxide bleaching species and a co-bleaching surfactant wherein the diacyl peroxide bleaching species is selected from diacyl peroxides of the general formula: R 1 -C(O)-OO-(O)C-R 2 in which R l represents a C 6 -C 18 alkyl group and R 2 represents an aliphatic group compatible with a peroxide moiety, such that R l and R 2 together contain a total of 8 to 30 carbon atoms; the tetraacyl peroxide bleaching species is selected from tetraacyl peroxides of the general formula: R 3 -C(O)-OO-C(O)-(CH 2 )n-C(O)-OO-C(O)-R 3 in which R 3 represents a C 1 -C 9 alkyl group and n represents an integer from 2 to 12; and wherein the co-bleaching surfactant comprises a cleaning surfactant selected from ethoxylated alcohols, amine oxide surfactants and mixtures thereof.
Abstract:
Rinse-aid composition comprising a polyalkoxylated trisiloxane surfactant and a non-ionic solubilising system having a cloud point above room temperature and an acidifying agent wherein the rinse-aid composition has a pH of from about 1 to about 4.5.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition comprising: (i) a pre-formed peroxyacid or salt thereof in molecularly encapsulated form; and (ii) a bleach catalyst that is capable of accepting an oxygen atom from a peroxyacid and transferring the oxygen atom to an oxidizeable substrate.
