Methods and compositions are disclosed for treating an area of the skin of a patient, e.g., an itch, insect bite or sting, inflammation, pain or irritation, by applying to said area of the skin an effective amount of a siliceous molecular sieve adsorbent to treat the condition.

A method for inhibiting the loosening of knotted ties, e.g., shoelaces, by applying to the ties a waxy composition comprising a waxy ingredient effective to inhibit the ties from becoming untied. Applicators suitable for applying compositions to ties are also disclosed.

Securing shoelaces and other ties

Animal's coats are deodorized and optionally treated in other manners by the application thereto of a composition comprising a crystalline siliceous molecular sieve which has been at least partially activated with respect to organic molecular species and in which at least about 90 percent of the framework tetrahedral oxide units are SiO.sub.2 tetrahedra and which have a sorptive capacity for water at 25.degree. C. and 4.6 torr of less than 10 weight percent.

This invention relates to surface cleaner/polish compositions comprising (i) a volatile liquid carrier selected from water, a monohydroxy alcohol having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms and mixtures thereof, and (ii) a crystalline aluminosilicate selected from Zeolite A, Zeolite X, Zeolite, Y, Zeolite P and mixtures thereof as an abrasive material, wherein said crystalline aluminosilicate has a particle size distribution sufficient to (a) provide enhanced wettability properties, (b) provide enhanced dispersion stability, (c) provide enhanced anti-fogging properties, (d) reduce or eliminate residual filming, and/or (e) reduce or eliminate dust during surface removal. This invention also relates to a process for preparation of the surface cleaner/polish compositions.

Surface cleaner/polish compositions and a process for the preparation

Marine oils are deodorized by contact with an effective amount of crystalline siliceous molecular sieves having strongly organophilic properties and pore diameters of at least 5.5 Angstroms. The molecular sieves selectively adsorb odorous organic amines and other odor-producing molecular species, such as aldehydes and ketones, without alteration of the essential unsaturated fatty acid triglycerides.

The anticariogenic activity of fluorine-containing compounds in oral compositions also containing zeolitic zinc ions is retained at advantages levels over protracted periods of time by adjusting the pH of the composition to the range of 9.5 to 11. The zeolite not only provides desired Zn.sup.++ ions to the formulation with minimal adverse affect on the active fluoride content but also is found to be an exceptionally good abrasive and/or polishing agent.

Anticariogenic and anticalculus compositions containing zeolitic zinc

Fibrous absorbent articles such as disposable diapers, catamenial devices, wound dressings, bandages, incontinence pads, wipes, underwear, shoe inserts and the like, contain an effective amount of crystalline, siliceous molecular sieve having pore diameters of at least about 5.5 Angstroms and a relatively low capacity for adsorbed water, and exhibit enhanced deodorizing properties with respect to the body fluids intended to be absorbed.

Fibrous absorbent articles having enhanced deodorizing properties

Dentifrice compositions are provided having an effervescent and cleansing action. The dentifrice compositions are formed from an essentially anhydrous dentifrice base medium and an inorganic oxide material containing an adsorbed gas. Upon contact of the dentifrice composition with water, an effervescent action occurs as the gas is desorbed from the inorganic oxide material.

Effervescent dentifrice

Odors attributable to organic molecular species are eliminated to levels below their olfactory detection level threshold by contact of the odor-producing species with a crystalline siliceous molecular sieve material having at least about 90 percent of its tetrahedral oxide units as SiO.sub.2 tetrahedra, having pore apertures nominally at least 5.5 A in diameter, from which the original water of hydration has been substantially removed, having a capacity for adsorbed water of not greater than 10 weight percent when measured at 25.degree. C. at a water vapor pressure (p/p.sub.o) of 4.6 torr.

Process for eliminating organic odors and compositions for use therein

Effervescent compositions are provided having an effervescent and cleansing action. The effervescent compositions are formed from an essentially anhydrous base medium and an inorganic oxide material containing an adsorbed gas. Upon contact of the composition with water an effervescent action occurs as the gas is desorbed from the inorganic oxide material.

Effervescent compositions

Powdered carpet treating compositions and the method of their use. Carpet treating compositions having improved anti-static, anti-microbial and anti-soiling characteristics are provided by use of an aluminosilicate pretreated with an anti-static agent, preferably a catonic surfactant, as a critical component in the formulation of the powdered carpet treating compositions.

Powdered carpet treating compositions

Mixtures of zeolite A and zeolite X containing about 40 to 70 weight per cent of each species are found to exhibit a synergistic effect in the sequestering by ion exchange of calcium and magnesium ions in hard water. These zeolite mixtures can be advantageously used in detergent compositions as substitutes in part or in full for polyphosphate builders.
