Caddy for a disposable head toilet cleaning system

Fluorine-free small molecule additives of structure where Xand Xare independently hydrocarbyl or heterohydrocarbyl; and Qand Qare independently —Si—(O—Si(CH))or —(O—Si(CH))—O—Si(CH)and where n is an integer from 0 to 30, inclusive for use in solid-state formulations, e.g., thermoplastic articles, for use in low hysteresis water repellent applications. Methods of preparing such compositions and additives.

Additives for use in low surface-energy applications

A melt additive compound has the general formula (I) wherein R represents a linear alkylene group having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms; n represents an integer from 1 to 4, inclusive; and Ris represented by the general formula II wherein Rrepresents a perfluorinated group having from 3 to 5 carbon atoms. Compositions comprising a thermoplastic polymer and the melt additive compound, methods of extruding them and extruded articles are also disclosed.
