Solid cleaning compositions that are safe for contact without the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and have optimal dissolution rate and degreasing performance. In particular, the solid cleaning compositions include a non-hydroxide alkali metal alkalinity source(s), acid(s), water conditioning agent(s), a cleaning surfactant comprising an amphoteric, anionic and/or nonionic surfactant(s) and/or a coating surfactant comprising a nonionic surfactant(s) to provide the optimal dissolution and performance while being PPE-free are disclosed. Methods of providing concentrate and/or use solutions of the solid cleaning compositions and methods of use thereof are also disclosed.

PPE-free tablet degreaser and multipurpose cleaner

The disclosure includes structured siloxanes which can foam in low surface tension solutions. The foaming compositions may form foam in alcohol/water and hydrocarbon condensates. The foaming compositions may replace surfactants in other compositions. The disclosure also includes sterilizing alcohol compositions, cleaning compositions, such as hard surface cleaners, warewash detergents, rinse aids, hand sanitizers, and the like which incorporate the same.

Foaming mixed alcohol/water compositions comprising a structured alkoxylated siloxane

The present invention provides improved methods for purifying and/or removing multiply charged cations and suspended solids from water. In particular the process relates to an additive composition that has the appropriate surfactant characteristics for effectively removing multiply charged cations and suspended solids from an aqueous or oil/aqueous mixed phase via foam fractionation. According to the invention, a hydrophobically modified polymer that acts as an associative thickener is used in the presence of a source of alkalinity or anionic reactant as well as surfactant in appropriate ratios to facilitate multiply charged cation and suspended solids removal for water purification in any of a number of commercial, environmental and industrial applications.

Enhanced foam removal of total suspended solids and multiply charged cations from aqueous or aqueous/oil mixed phase via increased viscoelasticity

The disclosure includes synergistic combinations of pendent alkyl siloxanes and PEG-modified castor oils which can form microemulsions and foam in low surface tension solutions. The foaming compositions may form foam in water, alcohol/water, and hydrocarbon condensates. The foaming compositions may replace surfactants in other compositions and forms stable emulsions or microemulsions with oils, including non-trans fats proteins, and fatty acids. The disclosure also includes sterilizing alcohol compositions, cleaning compositions, such as hard surface cleaners, warewash detergents, rinse aids and the like which incorporate the same.

Foaming mixed alcohol/water compositions comprising a combination of alkyl siloxane and a hydrotrope/solubilizer

The disclosure relates to laundry finishing compositions providing textile souring and softening efficacy, along with methods of making and use thereof, wherein the compositions comprise a chelating agent or a stabilizing agent, an acidulant, and an amine or ammonium softening agent. The compositions and methods of use beneficially provide effective souring and softening while also reducing the risk of laundry fire and promoting stubborn soil removal, particularly oily soils.

Highly acidic laundry sour softener with extra stability, laundry fire mitigation, and oily soil removal properties

Disclosed herein are detergent compositions containing extended chain surfactants that form microemulsions with and can remove greasy and oily stains. In certain embodiments the extended nonionic surfactant includes Guerbet Cor C(PO)(EO). The detergent compositions and methods of employing the same beneficially clean soils from textiles including difficult to remove cosmetic soils and food oils, even those comprised of non-trans fats.

Methods of cleaning and soil release of highly oil absorbing substrates employing optimized extended chain nonionic surfactants

The present invention is directed to rinse aid compositions and methods for making and using the rinse aid compositions. The compositions of the invention include a sheeting agent, a defoaming agent, and an association disruption agent. The rinse aid compositions of the present invention result in a faster draining/drying time on most substrates compared to conventional rinse aids. The rinse aid compositions of the present invention are especially suitable for use on plastic substrates.

Fast drying and fast draining rinse aid comprising an EO/PO and alkoxylated alcohol surfactant mixture

Alkaline sprayable aqueous compositions for cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting are disclosed. In particular, the sprayable compositions include an alkali soluble emulsion polymer, an alkalinity source, a foaming agent, and water. Beneficially, the sprayable cleaning compoistions have reduced misting and are environmentally safe for users to apply. Further the compositions exhibit less running on non-horizontal surfaces than acrylamide-based compositions.

Reduced mist alkaline cleaner via the use of alkali soluble emulsion polymers

The invention discloses synergistic combinations of surfactant blends and cleaning compositions employing the same. In certain embodiments a surfactant system is disclosed which includes an extended anionic surfactant with novel linker surfactants including one or more of an alkyl glycerol ether, an ethoxylated alkyl glycerol ether, an alcohol ethoxylate and/or a Gemini surfactant. This system forms emulsions with, and can remove greasy and oily stains, even those comprised of non-trans fats. The compositions may be used alone, as a pre-spotter or other pre-treatment or as a part of a soft surface or hard surface cleaning composition.

Cleaning compositions employing extended chain anionic surfactants

Paper treating compositions and methods of using the same are disclosed herein. The paper treating compositions of the present disclosure may include a strength agent and a surfactant or a sizing agent and a surfactant. The compositions and methods can be used to improve sizing and paper strength, especially, for example in spray size press applications.

Formulation for size press applications

Cleaning compositions that include a non-functionalized alkyl polyglycoside, a nonionic surfactant system, and water. In certain embodiments, the cleaning compositions are substantially free of alkyl phenol ethoxylates. Additionally, some embodiments of the invention are substantially free of butyl cellosolve. The cleaning composition is capable of removing both proteinaceous food soils and hydrocarbon-based oily soils. The cleaning compositions include a biorenewable, environmentally friendly alternative to nonyl phenol ethoxylates and exhibit superior cleaning of food soils.

Hard surface cleaning compositions

Compositions are disclosed that include PEG-modified triglycerides as a surfactant. The mixtures form stable microemulsions with oils and fatty acids which can be the resultant product, such as lubricants, sunscreens, or triglyceride-based products. These emulsions or microemulsions are stable, irreversible, and can be created at low temperature. These can be used in detergents, rinse aids and the like to form microemulsions to remove oils and greasy soils, such as non-trans fats and fatty acids from substrates/surfaces often without the need for linker or other cosurfactants. Methods of making the compositions/microemulsions are included as well as uses thereof.

PEG-modified castor oil based compositions for microemulsifying and removing multiple oily soils

Cleaning compositions and methods of use thereof for cleaning fryers and other hard surfaces soiled by grease, shortening, oils and other soils commonly encountered in the food service industry are disclosed. Cleaning compositions and methods of use which beneficially remove soils from vertical and/or inverted surfaces, reduce the cleaning time required for removing such difficult to remove and baked on soils, reduce exposure to hot surfaces by allowing cleaning at or near room temperature, reduce exposure to caustic chemicals, and/or eliminate the need for personal protective equipment (PPE) for use of the cleaning compositions are disclosed.

Cleaning compositions and methods for removing baked on grease from fryers and other hot surfaces

Solid rinsing, cleaning and/or sanitizing compositions for various applications are provided.
