Title: Innovations of Gary J Zyhowski

Introduction

Gary J Zyhowski is an accomplished inventor based in Hamburg, NY (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of surfactant compositions, holding a total of 2 patents. His work focuses on improving the efficiency of water displacement compositions and drying processes for non-absorbent articles.

Latest Patents

Zyhowski's latest patents include a surfactant containing binary, water displacement composition. This invention provides improved article drying compositions that effectively remove water from the surface of non-absorbent articles. The solvents used in these formulations are azeotropic binary mixtures, which include isobutanol and trichlorotrifluoroethane, as well as n-butanol and trichlorotrifluoroethane. The non-volatile additive in these compositions is a phosphate ester free acid type, characterized as complex phosphate ester-free acid surfactants of the ethylene oxide type. These additives are commercially available and preferred for their effectiveness.

Another notable patent is a water displacement composition that comprises a low additive-water removal mixture. This mixture consists of a solution containing about 0.15 to 0.01 weight percent phosphate ester free acid surfactant in an azeotropic composition of approximately 99.0 to 99.5 weight percent trichlorotrifluoroethane or trichloromonofluoromethane, along with about 1.0 to 0.5 weight percent t-amyl alcohol. The phosphate ester free acid surfactant used is commercially available and contains mixtures of both mono and diesters, exhibiting high solubility and effectiveness even at low concentrations.
