Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for reducing a slip between a mat having a flexible polymer lining surface, and a second surface adjacent to the lining surface. SOLUTION: Aqueous solution of polyvinyl acetate is applied to a lining surface, the lining surface having this liquid on it is brought into contact with a second surface while this solution is still wet. This method is especially effective when a mat has a flexible lining surface containing flexible polymer selected from among natural rubber, natural elastomer, and synthetic elastomer. Contact action is made before this solution is completely dried. This solution may be directly applied to the lining surface or by spraying. This solution may be directly applied to the second surface by spraying, possibly. This solution contains 1-90 wt.% solution of polyvinyl acetate, or occupies 1-99 wt.% of the solution as polyvinyl acetate, for example.
Abstract:
A cleaning composition is provided. The cleaning composition includes an anionic surfactant and a water hardness anti-precipitant mixture. The water hardness anti-precipitant mixture includes a dispersant and at least one of a sheeting agent and a humectant. The weight ratio of the dispersant to the total amount of the sheeting agent and the humectant is at least about 1:75 and less than about 75:1. Methods for providing and using a ready to use cleaning composition are provided.
Abstract:
The method of reducing slippage between a mat having a flexible polymer back surface and a second surface in contact with the back surface. The method comprises applying a liquid comprising a solution of polyvinyl acetate between the back surface and the second surface. The mat comprises a flexible polymeric back surface comprising natural or synthetic rubber, natural or synthetic elastomers. The materials are brought into contact after partial drying.
Abstract:
Improved separation of emulsified hydrophobic organic soils can be obtained from aqueous effluents using an amphoteric carboxylate surfactant material in combination with cationic destabilizer or flocculent materials. Such a treatment in combination with an acidic pH adjustment causes the rapid separation of hydrophobic organic soils from the aqueous stream. The treated aqueous stream is environmentally compatible. Improved laundry detergents comprising an organic amphoteric carboxylate surfactant and selected nonionic surfactants provide both cleaning for fiber and fabric containing items soiled with substantial quantities of hydrophobic soil. The pH of an effluent generated in such cleaning processes can be adjusted to an acid pH and treated with a cationic material causing a break that permits rapid and substantially complete separation of the hydrophobic organic soils from the effluent. Residual concentrations of organic soil in effluent water can be less than 250 ppm and can be as low as 10 ppm.

Abstract:
A tire dressing system includes an imaging device that captures an image of a vehicle tire or portion thereof and at least one application device that applies tire dressing to the tire based on the captured image. The system determines one or more tire parameters based on the captured image. The tire dressing system configures the at least one application device based on the tire parameter(s) such that the application device substantially restricts application of tire dressing to within the boundaries of the tire sidewalls. By determining the tire parameters, the tire dressing system may apply the tire dressing to the tire sidewalls while reducing or minimizing application of tire dressing to the body or rims of the vehicle.
