Appl. No.:

8/360542

Inventors:

Daniel W. Michael - Cincinnati OH
Thomas A. Borcher - Cincinnati OH

Assignee:

The Procter & Gamble Company - Cincinnati OH

International Classification:

C11D 900
C11D 1500
C11D 112
C09D 900

US Classification:

510180

Abstract:

Detergent compositions comprising nonionic detergent surfactant; unsaturated soap, i. e. , oleate and/or ricinoleate; hydrophobic cleaning solvent; and aqueous solvent system. The compositions have excellent detergency properties and excellent filming/streaking properties. Preferred soaps are specific betaaminoalkanolammonium soaps, which provide superior filming/streaking properties as compared to, e. g. , sodium soap.

C11D 112

US Classification:

252134

Abstract:

A solid cake comprising 1% to 15% free fatty alcohol and 20% to 90% buffered alkali earth metal alkyl sulfate surfactant. Perfume, dye or salt, or any combination thereof are added. The surfactant and cakes made therefrom have pH's of from about 6 to about 10. The free fatty alcohol and buffered surfactant compositions and their cakes have improved longevity and improved stability. Preferred cakes are made with coconut free fatty alcohol and buffered magnesium alkyl sulfate.

Assignee:

The Procter & Gamble Company - Cincinnati OH

International Classification:

D06M 1008

US Classification:

252 88

Abstract:

Dryer-activated fabric softening compositions and articles having improved antistatic effects, for use in an automatic clothes dryer comprising: (A) at least about 5% of highly ethoxylated, preferably at least 5 ethylene oxide (EO) groups per molecule, sugar derivative containing at least one long hydrophobic moiety per molecule; and, preferably, (B) from about 10% to about 95%, of carboxylic acid salt of tertiary amine. The amount of (A) present is at least sufficient to provide improved antistatic effects and is not so much as to cause the composition to have unacceptable physical characteristics, e. g. , stickiness. The active components (A) and (B) can contain unsaturation to provide improved antistatic benefits.

International Classification:

B05D 128
B05D 312
D06M 15507
D06M 2102

US Classification:

252 89

Abstract:

Polymeric soil release agents that have high viscosities when molten are difficult to process. Certain organic materials can be added to such agents to lower the viscosity and improve processing. Examples of such organic materials include fatty acids, some nonionic ethylene glycol derivatives, polyethylene or polypropylene glycols and their short alkyl chain ethers, certain polyhydroxy and alkyl ether solvents, and aryl ethers of propylene glycol.

International Classification:

B05D 312
D06M 2102

US Classification:

427242

Abstract:

Dryer-added fabric conditioning articles and methods utilizing a fabric conditioning composition which is released in the dryer by a dispensing means, the fabric conditioning composition comprising an improved uniform and stable mixture of: a polymeric soil release agent, particularly a higher molecular weight or a higher viscosity polymeric soil release agent, a dispersing aid, a fabric softening agent, and a viscosity control agent. The dispersing aid is used to improve the stability and the uniformity of the fabric conditioning composition.

International Classification:

D06M 1511

US Classification:

252 86

Abstract:

Cyclodextrin complexes are prepared utilizing processes in which the cyclodextrin/active complex is prepared under concentrated reaction conditions in which there is no more than about 40% solvent, e. g. , water, with mechanical working, to provide a complex ultimate particle size of less than about 12 microns and the resulting complex reaction mixture is incorporated, preferably without further operation, into at least one fabric conditioning material, preferably cationic fabric conditioning active, preferably in liquid (molten) form, preferably at a temperature between about 60 and about 95. degree. C. , and mechanically worked to reduce complex aggregate particle size below about 200 microns. The resulting complex/fabric conditioning material mixture is used to prepare, e. g. , dryer-added fabric softener article, e. g. , sheet.
