Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for treating a lipophilic fluid contained in an emulsion of water and lipophilic fluid. The process includes the steps of pretreating the emulsion, removing lipophilic fluid from the emulsion, and purifying the lipophilic fluid to remove at least a portion of the impurities collected during the use of the emulsion. Method options are provided for each of the aforementioned steps.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus for treating, refreshing or cleaning fabric articles, especially articles of clothing, linen and drapery.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a fragrance delivery system for use in laundry detergent compositions which provides a long lasting "freshness" or "clean" scent to fabric. The compositions described herein deliver highly fabric substantive beta -ketoester pro-fragrances to the fabric surface during laundering wherein the pro-fragrances release their fragrance raw materials over a period of up to two weeks. The present invention also relates to a method for delivering a pleasurable scent to fabric which has a lasting freshness quality by contacting the fabric with a laundry detergent composition which comprises the fragrance-releasable beta -ketoester pro-fragrances. 00000
Abstract:
The present invention relates to pathogen-reducing systems and methods employing ozone and compositions and articles useful therein. More particularly, the present invention relates to pathogen-reducing systems and methods useful in pathogen-reducing pathogen containing substrates/articles, such as sponges, wash cloths, scouring pads (i.e., plastic, metallic), utensils, dishes, cookware, pots, pans, skillets, baby bottles, baby nipples, glassware, dentures, brushes, gloves, reusable wipes, and the like wherein the substrate/article is treated with an ozone-enhancing composition and subjected with ozone in a closed environment, such that the ozone-enhancing composition and ozone are in contact with the substrate/article to be treated contemporaneously.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to dryer-activated fabric softening compositions comprising: (A) pro-perfume beta -ketoester compounds; (B) fabric softening compounds; and (C) optionally, (1) a carboxylic acid salt of a tertiary amine and/or a tertiary amine ester; and (2) a nonionic softener; wherein, preferably, the Iodine Value of the total number of fatty acyl groups present in (A), (C)(1), and (C)(2) is from about 3 to about 60. These compositions exhibit good antistatic properties as well as improved delivery from a substrate.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a fragrance delivery system for use in liquid laundry detergent compositions which provides a long lasting "freshness" or "clean" scent to fabric. The compositions described herein deliver highly fabric substantive pro-fragrances to the fabric surface during laundering wherein the pro-fragrances release their fragrance raw materials over an extended period of time depending on the selection of the particular pro-fragrance. The present invention also relates to a method for delivering a pleasurable scent to fabric which has a lasting freshness quality by contacting the fabric with a laundry detergent composition which comprises the fragrance-releasing pro-fragrances.

Abstract:
An apparatus for refreshing and removing particulate soil from discrete fabric articles by mechanically agitating said fabric while gas impinges on soiled areas of said fabric comprising a rotary drum (19), preferably a horizontal rotary drum, driven by a motor under the control of a control means, at least one gas inlet (2), preferably from 3 to 20 gas inlets, wherein said gas inlets (2) have a muzzle diameter sufficient to provide gas to said apparatus at a combined rate of from 101/s to 701/s and a muzzle velocity of from 1m/s to 155m/s and at least one gas outlet (11), wherein said gas oulet (11) is of sufficient diameter to prevent the removed soil from re-depositing upon said fabric.
Abstract:
This invention is a fabric delivery system for liquid laundry detergent compositions which comprises a beta-ketoester selected from a Markush group of beta-ketoesters. Laundry compositions also contain surfactants and carriers.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to Automatic Dishwasher Detergent (ADD) compositions having a fragrance delivery system which comprises beta -ketoester pro-fragrances which are capable of releasing fragrance raw materials which provide an aestetically pleasurable benefit to tableware as well as the automatic diswashing appliance. The present invention also relates to methods for providing lasting fragrance to dishware and to automatic diswashing appliances.
