The organophilic clay comprises a smectite-type clay ion exchanged with quaternary ammonium ions, where at least 75 mol-% of said quaternary ammonium ions are bis-(2-hydroxypropyl)-dimethylammonium fatty acid esters and at least 90% of the fatty acid moieties of the bis-(2-hydroxypropyl)-dimethylammonium fatty acid esters have a structure RC(O) with group R being a linear alkyl or alkenyl group containing from 9 to 21 carbon atoms. The organophilic clay is useful for thickening oil based compositions, in particular drilling fluids for drilling oil or gas wells, comprising an oil phase.

Organophilic clays and drilling fluids containing them

The present invention is directed to biodegradable cleaning compositions, in particular hard surface cleaning compositions, and their use. The compositions according to the invention comprise one or more biosurfactants(s), one or more sorbitan ester(s) and one or more further surfactant(s), which is/are neither a biosurfactant nor a sorbitan ester.

Biodegradable cleaning composition

The present invention is directed to compositions that are characterized by the presence of ester quats with specific characteristics that promote dispersibility at low temperature. Among the important characteristics of the ester quats are an iodine value of 65-85 and distribution of: 33-38% monoesters, 50-55% diesters and 7-12% triesters.

Fabric softener active composition

The present invention is directed to rinse aid compositions with improved biodegradability that may be used in automated carwash operations to promote drying and improve the appearance of vehicles.

Rinse aid compositions with improved characteristics

An article comprising a multiple use fabric conditioning composition that is operably connectable to the inside of a dryer is useful for softening fabric without staining the fabric and with reduced linting.
