Abstract:
A microemulsion light duty liquid detergent with desirable cleansing properties and mildness to the human skin comprising four essential surfactants: a water soluble nonionic surfactant, a C8-18 ethoxylated alkyl ether sulfate anionic surfactant, a C10-20 paraffin sodium sulfonate surfactant, and a betaine surfactant.
Abstract:
A light duty liquid detergent with desirable cleansing properties and mildness to the human skin comprising five essential surfactants: a water soluble nonionic surfactant, a C8-18 ethoxylated alkyl ether sulfate anionic surfactant, a C10-20 paraffin sodium sulfonate surfactant, an alkyl sulfate surfactant, and a betaine surfactant.
Abstract:
A midly acidic laundry detergent composition is provided for the improved protection of fine fabrics during washing and enhanced removal of generated foam during rinsing in hand wash comprising; a) at least one anionic surfactant; and/or b) at least one nonionic surfactant; c) a rinse-active, pH-sensitive foam control agent comprising a fatty acid; whereby the fatty acid foam control agent remains substantially in acid form at the mildly acidic pH of the wash water so as to be essentially inoperative to suppress foam during washing, and whereby upon rinsing of the laundry with tap water having a pH of from about 7.5 to 8.5 at least of portion of said fatty acid is converted to a soap which functions to suppress foam during rinsing.
Abstract:
A process for preparing a cross-linked alkyl vinyl ether/maleic anhydride copolymer having improved linear viscoelastic properties desired in oral care preparations, wherein the cross-linking of an alkyl vinyl ether/maleic anhydride copolymer with a polyol compound is carried out at a temperature of from about 50 to about 90 DEG C and the cross-linked product is recovered.
Abstract:
An aqueous liquid bleaching composition having a pH of from 9 to 14 is disclosed which is particularly suitable as a pre-wash and laundering composition for fabrics. The composition comprises: (a) an alkali metal hypochlorite; (b) an alkali metal carbonate; (c) an alkali metal hydroxide; and (d) an alkali metal phosphate. The method of bleaching fabrics with said bleaching composition is also described.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a cleaning composition containing an N-alkyl aldonamide surfactant and a surfactant selected from the group consisting of nonionic surfactants, anionic surfactants, partially esterified ethoxylated glycerol surfactants, amine oxide surfactants, zwitterionic surfactants and alkyl polyglucoside surfactants and mixtures thereof and water.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a solid (e.g., cream, such as semi-solid or soft solid) cosmetic composition containing an active cosmetic material (e.g., a deodorant active, an antiperspirant active, a sunscreen, an insect repellent and/or an anti-fungal agent), volatile (e.g., cyclomethicone) and linear chain (e.g., dimethicone and/or phenyl trimethicone) silicone materials, and at least one gelling agent. The at least one gelling agent includes hexanediol-behenyl beeswax, and is included in the composition in an amount sufficient to provide the solid composition. By incorporating the hexanediol-behenyl beeswax as a gelling agent, conventional gelling agents such as fatty alcohols and hydrogenated castor oil need not be incorporated in the composition. When an antiperspirant active material is incorporated in the solid composition containing hexanediol-behenyl beeswax as a gelling agent, a solid antiperspirant composition that is efficacious and leaves no visible (white) residue, can be achieved.
Abstract:
A light duty liquid detergent with desirable cleansing properties and mildness to the human skin comprising: a sulfonate surfactant, an alkali metal or ammonium salt of a C8-18 ethoxylated alkyl ether sulfate anionic surfactant, a sulfoacetate, sulfosuccinate or carboxylate surfactant, and water.
Abstract:
A light duty liquid detergent with desirable cleasing properties and mildness to the human skin comprising: a water soluble nonionic surfactant, an alkali metal or ammonium salt of a C8-18 ethoxylated alkyl ether sulfate anionic surfactant, a magnesium salt of a sulfonate surfactant, a betaine surfactant, an alkyl polyglucoside, an alkylsucroglyceride and water.
Abstract:
An improvement is described in the carpet compositions more environmentally friendly, which is especially effective in killing dust mites, contains an anionic detergent, an ethoxylated glycerol type compound, a hydrocarbon ingredient, at least one cosurfactant, an acaricidal agent, and water.
