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 water-soluble home care concentrate is provide which includes a blend of zinc ricinoleate; and at least one alkoxylated amine having the formula R(nAO) NH , wherein R is a saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched alkyl containing from 8 to 22 carbon atoms; AO is a C -C alkoxylate; n is the number of moles of AO and is from 1 to 50; s&equals;1, 2 or 3; t&equals;0, 1 or 2; and the sum of s and t is 3. The present invention also relates to diluted formulations that include the inventive water-soluble concentrate and at a least one solvent such as water and/or a carboxylic acid that is capable of solubilizes the concentrated blend into a diluted formulation that contains about 20%, by weight, or greater activated zinc atoms therein which are capable of binding with malodor molecules. The present invention also provides home care formulations that include the inventive diluted formulation and at least one additional formulating agent such as a perfume, dye, surfactant and the like. Methods of forming the inventive water-soluble concentrate, diluted formulation and home care formulations are also provided in the present invention.

Odor absorption and deodorization

Washing dyed fabrics in compositions which comprise a polyamine alkoxylate component of formula (A) ##STR1## and mixtures thereof, wherein R is an alkyl or alkenyl radical containing 6 to 25 carbon atoms and 0 to 3 carbon-carbon double bonds, and each ALK is ethyl or propyl, v, w, x and y are each 1-20, n is 0-10, (v+w+x+y) is (3+n) to 20, affords cleaning while inhibiting dye loss and dye transfer from the fabric.

Detergents with polyamine alkoxylates useful in cleaning dyed fabrics

The present invention relates to a process for producing a gel-free dispersion or solution of copper pyrithione employing at least one surfactant. Also claimed is the dispersion or solution itself, as well as a solid particulate copper pyrithione composition comprising copper pyrithione particles having a particle shape selected from the group consisting of rods, spheres, needles, platelets and combinations thereof, and optionally containing at least a trace amount of a surfactant on the outer surface of at least a portion of said particles.

Process for preparing copper pyrithione

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 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.

Enhanced wetting, low-foaming, dye-leveling agent comprising a

A biodegradable aqueous filter cleaning formulation containing effective amounts of a biodegradable carboxylic acid and/or salt thereof, a nonionic biodegradable surfactant based on oxyalkylated linear alcohols, and a water soluble organic solvent.

Biodegradable aqueous filter cleaner formulation

A rinse aid composition and a rinse aid concentrate which comprises an aqueous solution of a low foam surfactant, a solubilizing system for the low foam surfactant, and an anionic dispersing agent. This rinse aid controls foam, improves water solubility, reduces surface tension which improves sheeting action that reduces spotting, streaking and filming of the articles washed, provides an appropriate cloud point, and reduces drying time.
