Abstract:
A liquid and readily flowable composition includes (a) a room-temperature-solid solute, such as a nonionic surfactant, preferably having a hydrophile-lipophile balance from about 11.1 to about 18.4, a (ii) C 8 -C 14 fatty acid, or combinations thereof; (b) an alkoxylated fatty alkanolamide; and (c) water, if needed. The alkoxylated fatty alkanolamide, which is substantially liquid at room temperature, solvates the solid solute to form a homogeneous composition which is liquid and readily flowable at room temperature. The select classes of nonionic surfactants include polyalkylene oxide carboxylic acid esters, ethoxylated fatty alcohols, poloxamers, alkyl polysaccharides, or combinations thereof. Useful alkoxylated fatty alkanolamides include propoxylated fatty ethanolamides.
Abstract:
Compositions for caring for contact lenses and eyes include a liquid aqueous medium and a vitamin derivative component present in an amount effective as a surfactant in the composition. The compositions can be used to clean, soak, re-wet and, with the inclusion of a disinfectant, disinfect contact lenses. In addition, the compositions are effective as artificial tears and eye wash solutions. Methods for contact lens care and eye care are also disclosed.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to ternary surfactant blends comprising a mixture of at least one cationic surfactant, at least one anionic surfactant and at least one "bridging surfactant" selected from semi-polar nonionic, ethoxylated alkanolamide, and amphoteric/zwitterionic surfactants, and mixtures thereof. More specifically, the invention relates to stable, synergistic mixtures of cationic, anionic, and bridging surfactants that are useful as bulk surfactant blends. Surfactant blends of the present invention are useful for preparing a variety of finished consumer cleaning products, including for example, liquid dish detergents, laundry detergents, automatic dishwasher detergents, hand soaps, laundry bars, personal cleansing bars, multi-purpose cleaners, multi-functional shampoos, body washes, and textile treatment compositions. Surfactant blends of the present invention also may be employed as surfactants in agricultural and pesticide applications. Additionally, the surfactant blends may be utilized in antimicrobial detergent formulations (e.g., antimicrobial hard surface cleaners, hand soaps, shampoos, and dish detergents), soft-terg delivery systems and pre-spotter compositions.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to nonionic compounds of the polyoxyalkylene type that are low-foaming and can be used as surfactants, especially in cleaning compositions at an alkaline pH. They are obtained from unsaturated nitriles, that have been epoxidised with e.g. hydrogen peroxide, and alkyl blocked polyalkylene glycols. The nonionic nitrile surfactants can be reacted further with e.g. hydrogen peroxide under alkaline conditions to obtain nonionic amide surfactants. Amide derivatives of this type could also be obtained by reaction between ammonia or a primary or secondary amine and an acid or ester. The nonionic compounds exhibit one or several structure elements according to formula (II) in the aliphatic carbon chain where AO is an alkyleneoxy group containing 2-4 carbon atoms, R3 is an alkyl group with 1-4 carbon atoms and n is a number between 1 and 30.
Abstract:
Clear, or translucent fabric softener compositions comprise fabric softener compound, principal solvent system, and high electrolyte levels. The high electrolyte level allows for a broader range of principal solvents to be used and/or reduces the incidence of increased viscosity when low levels of principal solvent are used. Phase stabilizers which are primarily ethoxylated hydrophobic materials can be used to reduce the amount of principal solvent that is needed and/or to stabilize the compositions in the presence of the highest levels of electrolyte. Specific phase stabilizers provide additional benefits including improved softening. Specific electrolytes provide improved results. Addition of primary solvents and/or phase stabilizers to the softener compounds can improve the viscosity/handling of the compounds and the ability to create the finished compositions.
Abstract:
The invention relates to detergent mixtures containing (a) oligomer ester quaternaries which can be obtained by a condensation of mixtures comprised of monocarboxylic acids and dicarboxylic acids with alkanolamines and by successive quaternization of the alkanolamine oligoester, and (b) addition products of alkene oxides on fatty acid amidoamines. The detergent mixtures are especially suitable for producing preparations for brightening textiles and hair.
Abstract:
A method for producing alkoxylated amides of general formula (I) R -CO-NR -CHR -CHR -O-(CHR -CHR -O)n-H, wherein glycerides of the following fatty acids of general formula (II) R -COOH are made to react with amines of general formula (III) HNR -R to form amides of general formula (IV) R -CO-NR R and glycerine, and subsequently, the glycerine formed is separated by adding an aqueous acidic solution to form a reaction mixture until a pH value of the mixture ranges from 1 to 7 in order to carry out phase separation in an aqueous phase containing glycerine and an organic phase containing an amide of general formula (IV), the aqueous phase is separated and subsequently, the amid of general formula (IV) is made to react with ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide and/or butylene oxide to form alkoxylated amides of general formula (I).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to laundry detergent compositions containing a lipolytic enzyme (lipase) and specially selected primary and/or tertiary amines. The compositions provide enhanced cleaning of grease/oil soils and stains, particularly when used in a pre-treat laundering process for cleaning fabrics stained with grease/oil soils.
