20110190191 | Laundry Composition with Encapsulated Liquid Benefit Agent - A process for making aggregate granules comprising encapsulates or microcapsules of liquid benefit agent, preferably perfume, the process comprising the steps of: a) providing a powdered and/or granulated laundry composition comprising detergent particles selected from surfactants, fabric softeners and/or detergency builders; b) preparing a slurry comprising water, optional soluble materials, and encapsulates of liquid benefit agent; c) spraying the slurry prepared in step b) onto the laundry composition provided in step a) using a high rate of spray to create droplets larger than 70 micron in order to form aggregate granules of liquid benefit agent encapsulates anchored to detergent particles. Also, to particulate detergent compositions including the aggregate granules obtainable by the process and use of the compositions in laundry processes. | 08-04-2011 |
20110218136 | POWDER DETERGENT GRANULE CONTAINING ACIDIC WATER-SOLUBLE POLYMER AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF - The present invention relates to powder detergent granules that are substantially free of a water-insoluble component such as zeolite or silica, a method for manufacturing the powder detergent granules and a copolymer having various properties useful as a detergent component. The powder detergent granules of the present invention are substantially free of a water-insoluble component, and thus exhibit good solubility and washing performance (stain removal performance) in cold water, do not leave residue after laundry, and reduce the likelihood of a caking phenomenon during manufacture and storage. And, the powder detergent granules of the present invention are substantially free of zeolite or silica that absorbs a liquid component, but are capable of accommodating a considerable amount of liquid surfactant. Further, a copolymer comprising acrylic acid monomer unit and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid monomer unit, an acidic water-soluble polymer of the present invention, is useful as a detergent component in various aspects. | 09-08-2011 |
20120058929 | CARRIER SYSTEM FOR FRAGRANCES - The present invention relates to a carrier system for fragrances, to the production thereof and to the use of the carrier system in various fields of industry. | 03-08-2012 |
20130324453 | METHOD FOR MAKING A PARTICLE COMPRISING SULPHATE - A process for making a particle comprising at least 45 wt % sulphate, from 0 wt % to 15 wt % anionic detersive surfactant, and having a bulk density of from 350 g/l to 700 g/l, comprising the steps of; (a) preparing an aqueous slurry comprising sulphate, and optionally detersive surfactant; (b) drying the particle; and wherein the sulphate added to the aqueous slurry has a volume average particle size of from 10 micrometers to 50 micrometers. | 12-05-2013 |
20140179587 | LAUNDRY SCENT ADDITIVE - A laundry scent additive having polyethylene glycol and perfume. The laundry scent additive enables consumers to control the amount of scent imparted to their laundry. | 06-26-2014 |
20140287975 | POST-ADDED BUILDER COMPOSITION - A builder that is a post-manufacture addition to detergent compositions includes a total soluble salt content of about 70 wt. % to about 90 wt. %, wherein about 40 wt. % to about 90 wt. % of the soluble salts are in the form of an alkali carbonate; about 2 wt. % to about 12 wt. % polycarboxylate co-builder; and about 2 wt. % to about 12 wt. % water for solubility and bulk density control. The builder will be added to a detergent (active surfactant) composition in an amount of about 5 wt. % to about 40 wt. %, preferably about 10 wt. % to about 30 wt. %, more preferably about 15 wt. % to about 25 wt. %, and most preferably about 20 wt. % of the detergent composition based on the total weight of detergent and builder. Generally, a higher percentage of builder composition achieves better results when the wash water is harder (contains higher levels of calcium and/or magnesium, e.g. 400 ppm calcium carbonate). | 09-25-2014 |
