Abstract:
A process for preparing coated detergent granules in a fluidized bed is provided. The fluidized bed is operated at a flux number of at least about 3.5 and/or a Stokes Number of greater than 1.0. Upon drying, the resultant detergent particles have improved appearance and flow properties and may be packaged and sold as a detergent material or mixed with various other detergent ingredients to provide a fully formulated detergent composition.

Abstract:
HYDROXYALKYL polyhydric alcohol ether compounds of the general formulae (I) and (II) have excellent thickening effect and stability at low temperature, are useful as a thickening agent usable for the preparation of liquid detergents, can be produced by a condensation reaction of 1,2-epoxyalkanes of the formula (III) with aliphatic diols of the formula (IV), and are usable for the production of liquid detergent compositions, together with various surfactants (except for cationic surfactants), particularly sulfur atom-containing anionic surfactants or dipolar-ionic surfactants. 1
Abstract:
Compositions comprising 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluorobutane and more than 5% by weight of at least one non-flammable fluoro compound, and use thereof.
Abstract:
Provided herein are consumer products contained in conventional containers. A consumer product packaged according to the present invention is one which exhibits birefringence, and the packaging used according to the present invention is arranged so that the consumer product is caused to exist between two layers of polarizing film and is thus capable of exhibiting the phenomenon of birefringence to consumers under ambient lighting conditions.
Abstract:
Generally speaking, the present invention is a water-soluble copolymer film comprising a hydrolyzed copolymer of vinyl acetate and a second monomer, the resultant polyvinyl alcohol copolymer having a degree of hydrolysis, expressed as a percentage of vinyl acetate units converted to vinyl alcohol units, of from about 90% to 100%. The second monomer is preferably selected from the group of monomers having carboxylate functionality or sulfonate functionality. The resulting water-soluble copolymer film is disclosed for use in making pouches to contain a unit dose of liquid detergent, such as a liquid laundry detergent. However, it is an aspect of the copolymer film that film solubility is not significantly affected adversely by the detergent. Such film produces pouches having a greater storage shelf-life over prior art water-soluble film.
Abstract:
A detergent composition comprising from 0.01% to 99.9% by weight of an aromaticalkyl sulphonic surfactant, the balance being one or more other ingredients.
