Abstract:
The present invention relates to a liquid enzyme cleaning composition in whi ch the enzyme is stable at alkaline pH and in the presence of water at concentrations of at least about 50 to about 60 weight percent. In one embodiment, the composition of the inventive stabilizes the enzyme with potassium borate.
Abstract:
A solid cleaning composition comprises a source of active oxygen agent within a binder complex. The solid is formed by a binding agent that forms the ingredients into a solid. The binding agent is a composition formed by the solidification of a mixture of an organic sequestrant, including phosphonate or amino carboxylic acid or mixtures thereof, an active oxygen compound, and water. The solid composition can be dissolved in an aqueous solution creating an aqueous concentrate of the active oxygen at a useful concentration. The binding agent can also be used to bind additional functional materials and form a solid cleaning composition comprising the source of stabilized active oxygen as well as the additional functional material.

Abstract:
The invention is a method of sanitizing and destaining ware, including silverware. In its most preferred mode the method comprises the steps of applying a sanitizing concentrate composition to siiverware at a rate of 100 ppm to 2000 ppm, the sanitizing concentrate composition including from about 1 wt-% to 20 wt-% of peroxycarboxylic acid, from about 10 wt-% to 50 wt-% of carboxylic acid comprising a mixture of acetic acid, and octanoic acid, said acetic acid and said octanoic acid present in a ratio ranging from about 10 to 1 to about 1 to 1, respectively, from about 3 wt-% to 35 wt-% of hydrogen peroxide, and a balance of carrier wherein said peroxycarboxylic acid comprises the reaction product of said acetic acid, octanoic acid, and hydrogen peroxide.
Abstract:
A rinse aid composition and methods of making and using the same. A rinse aid composition may generally include an effective amount of a sheeting agent component, and an effective amount of a defoamer component. The sheeting agent component may include one or more alclhol ethoxylate compounds that include an alkyl group that includes 12 or fewer carbon atoms. The defoamer component may include an ethylene oxide containing surfactant configured for reducing the stability of foam that may be created by the one or more alcohol ethoxylate compounds of the sheeting agent in an aqueous solution.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a liquid enzyme cleaning composition in which the enzyme is stable at alkaline pH and: at high concentration of boric acid salt; in the absence of sodium ion; and/or in the presence of water at concentrations of at least about 60 weight percent. The present enzyme cleaning composition typically yields superior soil (especially protein soil) removal properties. In an embodiment, the composition of the invention stabilizes the enzyme with potassium and/or alkanolamine borate.
