Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a water-based concentrated composition essentially free from a hydrocarbon wax and polydimethylsiloxane, showing high washing efficiency and leaving no water spots on the surface of the washed vehicle by mixing a specified amount of an aliphatic alkyl ether amine composition with a stabilizer which solubilizes the ether amine and water. SOLUTION: This composition comprises about 0.1 to 50wt.% composition containing an aliphatic alkyl ether amine of the formula: R-O-R2 NH-A (wherein A is R3 NH2 or H; R2 and R3 are each a 1-6C linear or branched alkylene; and R is an about 6 to 28C aliphatic group), desirably a 10-20C alkyloxyalkyl-1,3- diaminopropane or a 10-20C alkyloxyalkylamine, an affective amount of a stabilizer comprising a neutralizing acid and/or a nonionic surfactant (e.g. 6-24C alcohol ethoxylate) and a major proportion of water.

Abstract:
A device for controlling blood-feeding insects is disclosed. The device includes a membrane containing a solution suitable for consumption by blood-feeding insects wherein the solution is comprised of a base, the base selected from the group consisting of up to 70 wt % NaCl in water, phosphate buffer, citric acid in water, and sodium lauryl sulfate in water,; and wherein the solution has a pH of between about 6 and 8. An additional active ingredient may be added to the solution. The solution may be referred to as liquid bait. The membrane is suitable for blood-feeding insects to pierce or puncture in order to feed. A method of exterminating or controlling blood feeding insects is also disclosed along with novel bait solutions.

Abstract:
A touchless car wash composition, that can be made from a concentrate and diluted to use concentration using commonly available service water can comprise an ether amine or diamine in particular a fatty ether amine or diamine. The novel compositions are typically free of hydrocarbon solvents and silicone materials that are common in prior art compositions. The compositions are used in touchless car wash processes in which the materials are sprayed in the form of an aqueous dilute solution to remove soil from the vehicle surface. The aqueous compositions are self removing and very small amounts of the aqueous solutions remain to create water spotting on cleaned vehicle surfaces. The novel compositions of the invention can also contain a variety of other ingredients in a fully formulated system. Such ingredients include rapid dewatering of painted surfaces, improved cleanliness of glass and painted surfaces. A substantial reduction of water spotting and concentrates stability. When used in systems using the direct contact between a brush, the friction between the brush and the vehicle surface is substantially reduced.
