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

Whitening agents for cellulosic subtrates

This invention relates to improved powder cleaning compositions and methods for cleaning textile substrates, especially carpet and upholstery fabrics. More particularly, this invention relates to powder cleaning compositions that contain absorbent particulate materials in a flowable form, which dries to a soil ladened powder, that can be removed by vacuum, brushing, and/or laundering methods. The improvement lies in the ability of the composition to remain a flowable powder, while containing a higher water content than previous powder cleaning compositions. The composition comprises an absorbent particulate material, a super absorbent polymer, and other ingredients.

Powder cleaning composition

This invention relates to colorants comprising a chromophore having a single azo acetoacetanilide moiety, wherein said moiety each have at least one poly(oxyalkylene) chain. Such colorants exhibit extremely good base stability and lightfastness, particularly when incoporated within certain media and/or on the surface of certain substrates. These poly(oxyalkylene) chains provide solubility in different solvents or resins thereby permitting the introduction of such excellent coloring chromophores within diverse media and/or or diverse substrates. Compositions and articles comprising such colorants are provided as are methods for producing such inventive colorants.

Polymeric acetoacetanilide azo colorants

A solvent free, diluent free, hydrocarbon soluble liquid polymeric colorant. Also disclosed is a method for applying a liquid colorant to solid granular substrates, such as fertilizer, to provide a colored substrate where the colorant exhibits a reduced tendency to bleed or migrate from the surface of the colored substrate onto other surfaces.

Liquid colorant and method

This invention relates to colorants comprising a chromophore having two azo acetoacetanilide moieties, wherein said moieties each have at least one poly(oxyalkylene) chain, preferably at least two such chains. Such colorants exhibit extremely good base stability and lightfastness, particularly when incorporated within certain media and/or on the surface of certain substrates. These poly(oxyalkylene) chains provide solubility in different solvents or resins thereby permitting the introduction of such excellent coloring chromophores within diverse media and/or or diverse substrates. Compositions and articles comprising such colorants are provided as are methods for producing such inventive colorants.

Polymeric bis-acetoacetanilide azo colorants

This invention relates to wax formulations comprised of specific poly(oxyalkylenated) colorants having fatty ester terminal groups. Preferably the wax formulation is a candle. Such polymeric ester capped colorants provide excellent coloring, decreased migratory properties, and improved balanced burning characteristics over traditional candle colorants and dyestuffs. This invention also concerns methods of making the aforementioned colored candle formulations as well as other colored wax articles, such as crayons.
