Personal wash compositions containing an anionic surfactant as a cleaning agent and a cationic dendrimer as a mildness aid. The dendrimer lowers the irritation potential of the surfactant. Cationic dendrimers remain dispersed in anionic surfactant solutions. The dendrimers are significantly less viscous than linear cationic polymeric mildness aids and are monodispersed. Furthermore, the dendrimers perform better than linear cationic polymers, especially in the presence of harsh anionic surfactants such as sodium dodecyl sulfate.

Cleansing compositions with dendrimers as mildness agents

A liquid automatic dishwashing composition containing a biodegradable structurant, such a microbial polysaccharide or a superabsorber, in combination with a wax encapsulated source of a chlorine bleaching agent and a chlorine scavenger to degrade small amounts of chlorine agent leaking from the encapsulates.

Liquid detergent composition containing biodegradable structurant

A cell having an anode comprised of an anode metal gelled with a hydrolyzed polyacrylonitrile gelling agent.

Cell gelling agent

A novel gelling agent comprised of cross-linked CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose) is utilized as a gelling agent in the anode of alkaline electrochemical cells with improved cell performance and reduced cell gassing as compared to the commonly utilized non cross-linked CMC.

Gelling agent for alkaline cells

An electrochemical cell having a gelled anode, wherein the gelling agent is an anionic polysaccharide having a rigid ordered structure such as extracellular microbial polysaccharides, particularly xanthan gum.
