20110319849 | ABSORBENT ARTICLE COMPRISING A SYNTHETIC POLYMER DERIVED FROM A RENEWABLE RESOURCE AND METHODS OF PRODUCING SAID ARTICLE - An element of an absorbent article is provided. The element has a bio-based content of at least about 50% based on the total weight of the element, and comprises a synthetic polymer derived from a renewable resource via a first intermediate compound selected from the group consisting of crotonic acid, propiolactone, ethylene oxide, i-propanol, butanol, butyric acid, propionic acid, 2-acetoxypropanoic acid, methyl 2-acetoxypropanoate, methyl lactate, ethyl lactate, polyhydroxybutyrate, and a polyhydroxyalkanoate comprising 3-hydroxypropionate monomers. An absorbent article comprising the element and a method of making an element for an absorbent article also are provided. | 12-29-2011 |
20130072415 | DETERGENT COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING SPECIFIC BLEND RATIOS of ISOPRENOID-BASED SURFACTANTS - The present invention relates to detergent compositions containing a blend of selected isoprenoid-based surfactants and methods of making and using the same. | 03-21-2013 |
20130274094 | Catalysts For The Conversion Of Hydroxypropionic Acid Or Its Derivatives To Acrylic Acid Or Its Derivatives - Catalysts for dehydrating hydroxypropionic acid, hydroxypropionic acid derivatives, or mixtures thereof to acrylic acid, acrylic acid derivatives, or mixtures thereof with high yield and selectivity, short residence time, and without significant conversion to undesired side products, such as, for example, acetaldehyde, propionic acid, and acetic acid, are provided. The catalysts are mixed condensed phosphates. Methods of preparing the catalysts are also provided. | 10-17-2013 |
20130274095 | Catalysts For The Production Of Acrylic Acid Or Its Derivatives - Catalysts for dehydrating hydroxypropionic acid, hydroxypropionic acid derivatives, or mixtures thereof to acrylic acid, acrylic acid derivatives, or mixtures thereof with high yield and selectivity, short residence time, and without significant conversion to undesired side products, such as, for example, acetaldehyde, propionic acid, and acetic acid, are provided. The catalysts are mixed protonated monophosphates. Methods of preparing the catalysts are also provided. | 10-17-2013 |
20130274514 | Catalytic Conversion Of Lactic Acid To Acrylic Acid - Disclosed herein is the catalytic dehydration of lactic acid to acrylic acid, which is characterized by a high conversion of lactic acid, a high selectivity for acrylic acid, a high yield of acrylic acid, and correspondingly low selectivity and molar yields for undesired by-products. This is achieved with a particular class of catalysts defined by a mixture of metal-containing phosphate salts that together provide the catalyst with a very high basicity density and low acidity density. Further, the catalyst is believed to be stable and active for lengthy periods heretofore unseen in the art for such dehydration processes. | 10-17-2013 |
20130274516 | Method For The Production Of Acrylic Acid Or Its Derivatives - Methods for catalytically dehydrating hydroxypropionic acid, hydroxypropionic acid derivatives, or mixtures thereof to acrylic acid, acrylic acid derivatives, or mixtures thereof with high yield and selectivity and without significant conversion to undesired side products, such as, acetaldehyde, propionic acid, and acetic acid, are provided. The catalysts are mixed monophosphates. | 10-17-2013 |
20140271519 | Specific Unsaturated and Branched Functional Materials For Use In Consumer Products - Novel poly-branched, mono- or poly-unsaturated functional materials are provided. More specifically, certain novel unsaturated branched functional compositions are provided that are made via isoprenoids and/or isoprenoid derivatives which come from either natural or synthetic sources. Also disclosed is their use or modification for use in consumer products such as laundry products, personal care products, dishcare products, shampoo products and hard surface cleaning products, and the like comprising the functional compositions or modified compositions. | 09-18-2014 |
20150105584 | Bio-Based Acrylic Acid And Its Derivatives - Lactic acid, lactic acid derivatives, or mixtures thereof are dehydrated using a catalyst and process to produce bio-acrylic acid, acrylic acid derivatives, or mixtures thereof. A method to produce the catalyst is also provided. | 04-16-2015 |
