An essentially non-aqueous cleaning composition and method for using this composition to remove chemicals from substrates, the composition comprising a dibasic ester and a thickening agent which is soluble, swellable or dispersible in said dibasic ester and wherein said thickening agent is present in an amount such that said composition has a numerical ratio of viscosity unsheared to viscosity under shear of at least about 3:1.

Dibasic ester gel/paste composition and use of same for removing

The invention relates to a process of producing carbonate esters wherein an alkyl chloroformate is reacted with a phenolsulfonate in an alkaline medium and discloses the improvement whereby dialkylcarbonate formation is reduced by adding an acidifying agent to the reaction mixture after the reaction and before precipitation of the alkylsulfophenyl carbonate.

Process for the production of carbonate esters

There is disclosed stable aqueous slurry automatic dishwasher detergent compositions comprising a chlorine bleaching agent and a dual function bleach stabilizer and anticorrosion agent comprising sulfamic acid, or its water soluble salts. Such formulations containing a molar ratio of at least about 0.5:1 sulfamic acid/bleaching agent provides protection against corrosion of silver metal and stabilizes bleach in the detergent composition.

Dishwashing composition

There is disclosed novel leavening systems, doughs and baked goods which employ stabilized x-ray amorphous calcium carbonate as the carbonate factor in combination with suitable leavening acids. Also disclosed are sodium-free leavening systems providing equivalent performance of previously known sodium containing leavening systems.
