Abstract:
The invention provides a laundry bleaching composition comprising a macrocyclic (tetra) amido N-donor ligand which forms a complex with a transition metal, the ligand metal complex being capable of catalysing bleaching of dyestuffs in solution, and, a radical initiator. These components provide a synergic bleaching benefit.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a treatment composition comprising a hydrophobic dye and a second dye, selected from hydrolysed reactive dyes, acid dyes and direct dyes; and a surfactant.
Abstract:
A laundry treatment composition which comprises a surfactant and from 0.0001 to 0.1 wt % of a combination of dyes which together have a visual effect on the human eye as a single dye having a peak absorption wavelength on cotton of from 540 nm to 650 nm, preferably from 570 mn to 630 mn, the combination comprising a photostable dye which is substantive to cotton.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a fabric treatment composition which comprises a self-crosslinking polymer possessing pendant azetidinium groups. A first aspect of the invention comprises an azetidinium functionalised polymer containing primary or secondary amine groups. Cross-linking reactions between the azetidinium group and primary or secondary amine groups does not form quaternary groups and consequently does not result in a charged, cross-linked polymer. This lack of charge is believed to overcome the problems of stain fixing and dye adsorption. A second aspect of the present invention subsists in a azetidinium functionalized polymer of which the monomers comprise: an amino-acrylate and/or amino-alkacrylate monomer, and, optionally, further non-amino acrylate and/or alkacrylate monomer. A third aspect of the present invention provides a textile treatment composition which comprises a azetidinium functionalised polymer in accordance with the first or second aspect of the invention and a textile compatible carrier.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a treatment composition comprising a hydrophobic dye, having an anthraquinone structure and surfactant. A method of treating a textile with said composition is also claimed.
Abstract:
A physical fitness system includes a physical fitness director unit, a training card, an exercise unit, and a shopping unit. The physical fitness director unit generates training information for an individual and stores the information on the training card. The training information includes exercise information and diet information. The training card identifies the individual to the exercise unit and provides information that personalizes the exercise unit to the individual. The training card also identifies the individual to the shopping unit which assists the individual in acquiring groceries that support meal plans prepared by the physical fitness director unit.
