20130053298 | LIQUID CLEANING COMPOSITIONS WITH IMPROVED ENZYME COMPATIBILITY AND/OR STABILITY - In one embodiment, a cleaning composition includes a surfactant system having an invert structure; and at least one enzyme. | 02-28-2013 |
20120277138 | Consumer Product Packets With Enhanced Performance - The present invention includes a consumer product packet comprising a capsule and a fill composition within the capsule. The capsule has a tack temperature of about 110° F. or higher and substantially dissolves in water within a predetermined time period at a temperature of about 70° F. or lower. In one example, the capsule comprises a film having at least one polymer, at least one plasticizer, and at least one temperature adjusting agent. Dependent on the fill composition, the consumer product packet may be used for any household or personal use. In one example, the fill composition is a detergent concentrate comprises one or more surfactants, one or more humectants, and a coalescing solvent which has hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) value from about 7 to about 9, wherein the ratio of the one or more humectants to the coalescing solvent is more than 1. | 11-01-2012 |
20120125947 | Refill Bag - A flexible bag for containing a product comprises a dispensing portion, a panel forming a first compartment for containing the product and forming a second compartment that is separate from the first compartment, and an elongated grip disposed at least in part in the second compartment. A user may grasp the grip to transport the bag or to pour a product from the first compartment. The grip may also prevent the bag from collapsing, allowing the bag to be efficiently stored on a surface and providing a surface on the flexible bag to prominently display information regarding the product. The dispensing portion may be a metered cap. | 05-24-2012 |
20110230380 | LIQUID CLEANING COMPOSITIONS WITH LOWER FREEZING POINT - A cleaning composition according to one embodiment includes a surfactant system comprising a nonionic surfactant in combination with an anionic surfactant; and an amine neutralized organic acid (ANOA). A concentrated composition according to yet another embodiment includes an amine neutralized organic acid (ANOA) present in an effective amount to lower a freezing point of the concentrated composition, wherein the ANOA is present at no more than about 5 wt % based on a total weight of the concentrated composition. A concentrated cleaning composition in yet another embodiment includes a surfactant system having an invert structure, the surfactant system comprising a nonionic surfactant in combination with an anionic surfactant; an organic acid present in a concentration of greater than 0 to about 5 wt % based on a total weight of the cleaning composition; and an alkaline component. Methods of making are also disclosed. | 09-22-2011 |
20110061173 | FABRIC SOFTENER - A fabric softener formulation according to one embodiment includes 70-80 wt % methyl bis (canola amidoethyl)-2-hydroxyethyl ammonium methyl sulfate; 2-4 wt % dicocoylethyl hydroxyethylmonium CL; >0-12 wt % of a glycol; >0-10 wt % solvent; 0-5 wt % methyl laurate; 0-5 wt % alcohol; and 0-5 wt % fragrance. A fabric softener formulation according to another embodiment includes 20-30 wt % solvent; >0-2 wt % coco methyl ester ethoxylate; >0-3 wt % glycerin; >0-3 wt % dicocoethyl hydroxyethylmonium methosulfate with propylene glycol; 1-5 wt % alcohol; 35-45 wt % methyl bis(canolaamideoethyl)-2-hydroxyethyl ammonium methyl sulfate with propylene glycol; 0-5 wt % fragrance; 0-2 wt % acid; and 20-30 wt % water. | 03-17-2011 |
20100299846 | LIQUID CLEANING COMPOSITIONS - A cleaning composition according to one embodiment includes a surfactant system comprising nonionic surfactant in combination with an anionic surfactant; water present in an amount from 0 to about 40 wt % based on a total weight of the cleaning composition; a solvent system comprising a polyalcohol, the solvent system being present in an amount effective to solubilize the surfactant system in the water; and an enzyme present in an amount of less than about 15 wt %; wherein the cleaning composition is in a form of a continuous phase, wherein the cleaning composition is characterized as exhibiting about a constant cleaning efficacy as measured using test procedure ASTM D4265 when the cleaning composition is added to 69 liters of exterior water in amounts ranging from about 9 to about 22 grams of cleaning composition. Methods for pretreating and cleaning laundry and nontextile surfaces are also presented. | 12-02-2010 |
