Abstract:
A midly acidic laundry detergent composition is provided for the improved protection of fine fabrics during washing and enhanced removal of generated foam during rinsing in hand wash comprising; a) at least one anionic surfactant; and/or b) at least one nonionic surfactant; c) a rinse-active, pH-sensitive foam control agent comprising a fatty acid; whereby the fatty acid foam control agent remains substantially in acid form at the mildly acidic pH of the wash water so as to be essentially inoperative to suppress foam during washing, and whereby upon rinsing of the laundry with tap water having a pH of from about 7.5 to 8.5 at least of portion of said fatty acid is converted to a soap which functions to suppress foam during rinsing.
Abstract:
A composition comprising a liquid portion comprising at least one surfactant and at least one material chosen from at least one suspending agent and at least one viscosity control agent, wherein the composition has an apparent viscosity under a shear stress of 0.5 Pa of at least about 1,000 Pa.s; and the composition has an apparent viscosity under a shear stress of 100 Pa of less than about 10 Pa.s. The composition is capable of suspending materials, but it still has desired rheological properties.
Abstract:
An aqueous fabric softening composition is described having its rheological properties of flow elasticity and viscosity capable of being readily modified as needed independently of each other to satisfy a consumer preference, said composition comprising: a) from about 0.01% to about 25%, by weight, of a cationic fabric softener; b) an effective amount of a mixture of cationic polymers capable of modifying the aforesaid rheological properties, said mixture comprising: (iii) from about 0.01% to about 90%, by weight, of a cationic linear homopolymer that is derivable from the polymerization of acrylic acid and/or methacrylic acid or a linear copolymer that is derivable from the polymerization of acrylic acid and/or methacrylic acid and acrylamide or methacrylamide, said homopolymer or copolyer having a molecular weight of from about 10,000 to about 30 million; and (iv) from about 10% to about 99.99%, by weight, of a cationic cross-linked polymer that is derivable from the polymerization of, from 5 to 100 mole percent of cationic vinyl addition monomer, from 0 to 95 mole percent of acrylamide, and from 70ppm to 300ppm of a difunctional vinyl addition monomer cross linking agent, the respective amounts of (i) and (ii) in said mixture being selected to provide the desired rheological properties of viscosity and flow elasticity in said softening composition; and c) balance water.
Abstract:
This invention encompasses compositions of surfactant-based products containing anionic and nonionic sufactants, one or more sequestering agents, a glycol solvent for the preparation of liquid cleaning compositions. The surfactant-based product may be any type of cleaning product based on surfactants, which include a sequestering agent. Specifically, the invention relates to a cleaning composition with desirable cleansing properties possessing increased grease cutting.
Abstract:
A stable concentrated aqueous fabric softening composition is provided having a viscosity of from about 3000 cps to about 15,000 cps, preferably 4000 to 15000 cps, which composition is capable of being diluted with water in a 4:1 weight ratio of water to concentrated softening composition prior to use such that the resulting diluted softening composition is physically stable and has a medium viscosity of from about 90 cps to about 300 cps.
