    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.

    Abstract: A multiple product dispensing system (100) includes a plurality of use solution dispensers (10a, 10b, 10c) and a controller (110) for selecting one of the dispensers (10a, 10b, 10c) according to a preset regimen, e.g., selecting different dispensers on different days of the week. Each dispenser (10a, 10b, 10c) dispenses a controlled concentration of use solution using a diluent delivery apparatus (13) that delivers a diluent to form a liquid concentrate from a solid chemical composition (22), and to form make-up diluent for diluting the liquid concentrate and forming a use solution of controlled concentration. A foam reducer (24) reduces the kinetic energy of the make-up diluent prior to mixing with the liquid concentrate to reduce foaming. An unskilled operator may operate the dispensing system (100) to dispense a use solution of carefully controlled concentration, and the controller (110) will automatically select the proper dispenser according to the preset regimen, without any additional input on the part of the operator. Therefore, the likelihood of operator error occurring is greatly reduced by the automatic selection of the proper dispenser (10a, 10b, 10c) and the control over use solution concentration.

    Abstract: WE HAVE FOUND AN ALKALINE WAREWASHING DETERGENT COMPOSITION THAT CAN CONTAIN A CRITICAL AMOUNT OF A NONIONIC RINSE AGENT THAT WHEN USED IN AUTOMATIC WAREWASHING MACHINES PERMITS THE USE OF A POTABLE WATER RINSE WITHOUT THE ADDITION OF A SEPARATE RINSE AGENT. SUFFICIENT RESIDUAL NONIONIC SURFACTANT FROM THE ALKALINE DETERGENT REMAINS ON THE SURFACE WARE AND INTERNAL MACHINE AND RACK SURFACE AFTER WASHING TO PROMOTE ADEQUATE SHEETING IN THE RINSE CYCLE. THE RESIDUAL NONIONIC SURFACTANT ON INTERNAL SURFACE DISSOLVES IN THE RINSE WATER TO CREATE AN EFFECTIVE AQUEOUS RINSE AGENT. THE NONIONIC RINSE AGENTS CAN BE A SINGLE NONIONIC FOR BOTH FOAM REDUCTION CLEANING AND SHEETING OR CAN BE A BLEND OF NONIONIC MATERIALS PROVIDING THESE FUNCTIONS. THE DETERGENT CAN BE IN THE FORM OF A PARTICULATE, PELLETIZED OR BLOCK SOLID. THE DETERGENT CAN BE USED IN A VARIETY OF HIGH TEMPERATURE AND LOW TEMPERATURE AUTOMATIC WAREWASHING MACHINES INCLUDING LARGE MULTIZONE CONVEYOR MACHINES, OR RELATIVELY SMALL INSTITUTIONAL MACHINES THAT HAVE A SINGLE WASHING CHAMBER.

    Abstract: An interactive dispenser, used to provide a powdered, liquid or personal use or care chemical, can provide a message prompted by the proximity of a user to a sensor. Personal care liquids can include hand cleaners, hand and body lotion, sun blocks, sun screens, poison ivy treatment materials, burn ointments, body powders, solid hand soap bars, etc. A variety of messages can be provided to the user including a reminder to use the materials provided by the dispenser, instructional information, safety information, use directions for the chemical, use directions for the dispenser, or any other message. The message can be provided in a visual message such as an electronic scroll, an aural message derived from an electronic voice synthesizer. Such a message can be combined with a musical program, other light displays, etc. The sensor can be mounted on the dispenser in the form of a push button, an actuator triggered by the installation of new chemical, can be a motion sensor detecting the presence of a user, can be a remote sensor sensing the presence of a user at a remote site from the dispenser, involving the use of equipment used in conjunction with the dispenser such as a urinal, toilet, bathroom sink, etc. The overall purpose of coupling a user proximity generated prompt to generating a message is the improved efficacy of use of the dispenser or its chemical contents.
