The present invention relates in general to keratin treatment compositions and methods, and more specifically, compositions comprising up to 60% olefinic compounds and at least one unactivated double bond, the composition comprising fatty acid esters of polyhydric alcohols. The present invention is configured to be easily incorporated into bleaching processes, coloring processes, perming processes, shampoos, conditioners and/or styling products. The purpose of the invention is to provide a composition and method that will improve the overall health of keratins, in particular, texture, body, shine and strength.

Composition and method for improving and protecting keratins

A method of removing soil an article including the steps of immersing said article in an alkaline composition having a concentration of at least one source of alkalinity about 0.25% or higher, dehydrating the soil and rehydrating the soil at a pH which is neutral. The method is particularly useful for removing proteinaceous soil from processing equipment for dairy products.

High temperature rapid soil removal method

The invention relates to a method of low temperature cleaning and applying an antimicrobial treatment to food and beverage plant equipment. In addition, the method includes carbon dioxide compatible chemistry. The method may be achieved through a multi-step method.

Low temperature cleaning

Antimicrobial, high load bearing conveyor lubricant

Lubricant compositions are used on conveying systems in the beverage industry during the filling of containers with dairy products or other beverages. An antimicrobial conveyor lubricant composition according to the invention includes alkyl alkoxylated phosphate ester, antimicrobial agent comprising at least one of quaternary ammonium antimicrobial agent and protonated amine antimicrobial agent, extreme pressure additive, water, and neutralizing agent in an amount sufficient to provide a use solution having a pH in the range of about 4 to about 9. The composition can include an extreme pressure additive and/or a corrosion inhibitor. A method for using an antimicrobial lubricant composition is provided.

Antimicrobial conveyor lubricant composition and method for using

The present invention provides for a composition suitable for removing proteinaceous material comprising water, an emulsifier, a chelating agent, one or more mineral acids, and a surfactant; wherein: the emulsifier is a polyether nonionic emulsifier or an amine oxide; the chelating agent is an alkylaminophosphonic acid, a hydroxyalkylphosphonic acid, or an alkylphosphonic acid carboxylic acid; the one or more mineral acids are present in an mount such that the pH of the composition is less than about 4.5; and the surfactant is a compound of formula (I):

Composition suitable for removing proteinaceous material

The present invention relates to a self-foaming, self-leveling aqueous liquid composition packagable in a non-pressurized deformable dispenser of flexible barrier material adapted to contain, maintain and dispense a proportioned amount of the cleansing composition under positive pressure. The composition comprises: a major amount of water; a surfactant; and a dual purpose pressure agent comprising at least one aliphatic hydrocarbon fluid in amounts sufficient to provide the liquid composition, which when contained in a dispenser exerts a positive vapor pressure at least at about 1.6.degree. C. The composition is dispensed as a liquid under normal operating conditions, which liquid foams instantaneously and spontaneously on spreading.

Instantaneously self-foaming liquid cleansing composition
