This invention relates to a coating for seeds comprising a polymeric material, a method of making and using the coating for improving the adherence of seeds to sloped surfaces, and seeds containing said coating. The invention also relates to a horticulture system for distributing the coated seeds to landscaping and/or agricultural surfaces.

Seed coating

A laundry care composition including: (a) at least one laundry care ingredient and (b) a leuco composition. The laundry care composition has a ΔHA of at least 10. Methods of treating textiles with such laundry care compositions.

Leuco colorants as bluing agents in laundry care compositions

This invention relates to novel whitening agents for cellulosic substrates. The whitening agents are comprised of at least two components: at least one chromophore component and at least one polymeric component. Suitable chromophore components generally fluoresce blue, red, violet, or purple color when exposed to ultraviolet light, or they may absorb light to reflect these same shades. The whitening agents are further characterized by having a dispersion component value of the Hansen Solubility Parameter of less than or equal to about 17 MPa. This invention also relates to laundry care compositions including but not limited to liquid and/or powder laundry detergent formulations and rinse added fabric softening (RAFS) compositions that comprise such whitening agents.

Whitening agents for cellulosic substrates

This invention relates to a horticulture additive comprising: (1) a wetting agent, wherein the wetting agent is a multi-branched polymer comprising at least one of an oxygen-containing and a nitrogen-containing polyfunctional base compound having at least three branches attached thereto, and (2) a humectant. The horticulture additive is advantageous for increasing plant survival of plants treated therewith when exposed to reduced watering conditions.

Horticulture additive

This invention relates to odor control molecules comprised of polyethyleneimine compounds containing N-halamine and derivatives thereof.

Polyethyleneimine compounds containing N-halamine and derivatives thereof

A laundry care composition comprises a laundry care ingredient or adjunct and at least one compound that is capable of changing from a first color state (i.e., the initial color state in the composition) to a second color state that is perceptibly different from the first color state. A method for treating textile articles comprises the steps of: (a) providing a laundry care composition as described above; (b) adding the laundry care composition to a liquid medium; and (c) placing the textile articles in the liquid medium.

Laundry care compositions

A leuco compound comprises an antioxidant moiety covalently bonded to a leuco moiety. A laundry care composition comprises (a) at least one laundry care ingredient and (b) a leuco compound as described above. A method of treating a textile comprises the steps of (a) providing such a laundry care composition; (b) adding the laundry care composition to a liquid medium; (c) placing textile articles in the liquid medium; (d) optionally, rinsing the textile; and (e) drying the textile articles.

Leuco compounds and compositions comprising the same

This invention relates to bis-azo colorants for use as bluing agents, laundry care compositions comprising bis-azo colorants that may serve as bluing agents, processes for making such bluing agents and laundry care compositions and methods of using the same. The bluing agents are generally comprised of at least two components: at least one chromophore component and at least one polymeric component. These bluing agents are advantageous in providing a whitening effect to fabrics, while not building up over time and causing undesirable blue discoloration to the treated fabrics.

Bis-Azo colorants for use as bluing agents

A compound comprises at least one fluorescent moiety covalently bound to at least one second moiety selected from the group consisting of leuco moieties and chromophore moieties.

Leuco compounds

A method of making a triarylmethane leuco compound comprises reacting an aromatic aldehyde compound, a first oxyalkylenated aryl compound, and a second oxyalkylenated aryl compound in a condensation reaction in the presence of an acidic catalyst to produce the triarylmethane leuco compound. The first oxyalkylenated aryl compound is oxyalkylenated with ethylene oxide. The second oxyalkylenated aryl compound is oxyalkylenated with propylene oxide or with both ethylene oxide and propylene oxide.

Triarylmethane leuco compounds and compositions comprising the same

The present invention relates to a laundry detergent composition comprising a particle comprising hueing agent and clay. The particle can be incorporated into laundry detergent products, such as a laundry detergent powder. The particle exhibits an excellent storage stability profile with very little bleeding of the hueing dye from the particle, exhibits excellent fabric deposition of the hueing dye during a laundering process without causing any spot staining of the fabric, and does not impact the visual appearance of a laundry detergent powder when incorporated therein.
