The present invention relates to a cleaning composition comprising: (a) at least one additive selected from the group consisting of detergents, corrosion inhibitors, organic and aqueous carriers, and combinations thereof, (b) a wetting/cleaning agent selected from the group consisting of piperazine-substituted organosulfonates, piperazinone-substituted organosulfonates, and combinations thereof, and (c) a surfactant selected from the group consisting of alcohol alkoxylates, organic and inorganic salts of polycarboxylated alcohol alkoxylates, and combinations thereof. Also disclosed is an adhesive composition containing the above wetting agent, as well as a method of cleaning a substrate and a method of enhancing adhesion to a substrate using the above wetting agent.

Wetting agents for concrete cleaning and adhesives

A composition and a process are disclosed for imparting durable antimicrobial properties to fibrous materials. The composition contains a leveling surfactant and a water-insoluble antimicrobial compound. In one embodiment, simultaneous dyeing and antimicrobial finishing of a fibrous material is achieved using an aqueous dye bath containing the aforesaid composition.

Biocide plus surfactant for protecting carpets

The present invention relates to a concrete-forming composition comprising:

Wetting agents for concrete compositions

The present invention relates to an acid dye-leveling composition that is useful for imparting a dye-leveling characteristic to fibers, as well as acting as a cleaner for hard surfaces or for fibers. The composition comprises (a) the reaction product of a piperazine compound, a piperazinone compound, an amine compound, or a combination thereof, with an alkyl diphenyl ether sulfonic acid, and (b) an alcohol alkoxylate.

Dye-leveling and cleaning composition containing an aqueous organic

The present invention relates to an acid dye-leveling composition comprising a piperazine substituted organosulfonate that is useful for imparting a dye leveling characteristic to fibers prior to, or during, the fiber dyeing operation. Also described is a process for preparing the dye-leveling composition, as well as a process for using the composition in the dyeing of fibers. The composition is particularly useful for treating polyamide fibers, such as nylon, but is also suitably used in the treatment of silk, wool, and other synthetic and natural fibers.
