Abstract:
A cleansing composition, comprising (1) at least one foaming surfactant, (2) at least one hydrophobic silica and (3) at least one oxyalkylenated compound in a physiologically acceptable aqueous medium comprising at least 35% by weight of water relative to the total weight of the composition.
Abstract:
A tablet or pellet for cleaning mineral deposits from the interior of a dishwasher machine is placed within the machine, and the machine is run through its normal dishwashing cycle. The pellet or tablet is formed of a mixture of a binder matrix and a chelating agent capable of carrying out chelation solubilization on the mineral deposits. The pellet or tablet withstands substantial dissolving during the initial rinse cycle or cycles, and then dissolves to provide a pH no greater than 6 during the wash cycle.
Abstract:
A built particulate laundry detergent composition containing anionic sulphonate or sulphate surfactant and conventional ethoxylated alcohol nonionic surfactant also contains a low level of a highly ethoxylated alcohol nonionic surfactant having an average degree of ethoxylation of from 15 to 40, and a low level of a textile softening clay. The composition exhibits increased mildness to the skin without loss of detergency performance, and the softness of washed fabrics is significantly improved despite the low level of softening clay present.
Abstract:
The ability of aqueous laundry compositions to remove organic hydrophobic soils, such as oily, greasy or particulate soils, from a laundry item is substantially improved by pre-spotting or pre-treating such a soiled item with a treatment composition having a surfactant comprising a unique hydrophillic ethoxylate surfactant with less than two moles of ethylene oxide or a or blend of at least two surfactant compositions with a blended HLB value of about 7-12. The blend of surfactants with this HLB value penetrates soils and renders the soil more easily removed from the item using aqueous laundry detergent. The treatment composition can be used in a liquid or solid form and can be applied to individual laundry items in the form of a solid stick or liquid spray prior to introduction to the laundry machine. Laundry items can also be contacted in the laundry machine with the pre-spot or pre-treatment composition in the form of an aqueous presoak, preflush, prewash, or other step prior to the cleaning step. A preferred laundry machine comprises an institutional tunnel washer.
Abstract:
This invention relates to an aqueous cleaning method for removal of metal-organic composite paste residue from the surface of components, such as, screening masks, associated paste screening equipment, substrates, to name a few. The invention is particularly concerned with aqueous alkaline cleaning solutions comprising alkali metal salt and/or quaternary ammonium salt of an organic acid preferably &agr;-hydroxy carboxylic acid in the presence of excess alkali and optionally a surface active agent for use in cleaning components, such as, screening masks, associated screening equipment, substrates, etc., which are used in the production of electronic components.
Abstract:
A cleaning cloth impregnated with a composition comprising: (a) a fibrous web; (b) an alkyl or alkenyl oligoglycoside; (c) a mixture comprising an alcohol polyglycol ether, a hydroxy mixed ether, or a combination thereof are useful for cleansing hair.
Abstract:
A built particulate laundry detergent composition containing anionic sulphonate or sulphate surfactant and conventional ethoxylated alcohol nonionic surfactant also contains a low level of a highly ethoxylated alcohol nonionic surfactant having an average degree of ethoxylation of from 15 to 40. The composition exhibits increased mildness to the skin without loss of detergency performance.
Abstract:
Compositions including ether-capped poly(oxyalkylated) alcohol wetting agents. The wetting agents are low-foaming and have good biodegradability, and can be used in a variety of applications, for example in polymer, anti-foaming, biocidal, coating, fertilizer, pharmaceutical, and drilling fluid compositions.
Abstract:
Acidic, hard surface cleaning and disinfecting compositions include a film-forming, organosilicone quaternary ammonium compound providing a protective layer for water and stain repellency
