Abstract: Cyclodextrin complex is suspended in polyalkylene glycol carrier material that does not displace the included material. The preferred perfume/cyclodextrin complexes, either alone or admixed with solvent (e.g., water), are preferably suspended in the carrier and then incorporated into solid, dryer-activated, fabric treatment (conditioning) compositions, preferably containing fabric softeners, more preferably cationic and/or nonionic fabric softeners. The perfume complexes provide fabrics with perfume benefits when they are rewetted after drying. Volatile perfume materials, including those materials that are commonly associated with "freshness" can be applied to the fabrics in an effective way.

Abstract: An improved process, preferably continuous, for making a peroxyacid having about 6 to 18, preferably about 8 to 16 carbon atoms and at least one peroxyacid moiety, using as starting materials the corresponding carboxylic acid and hydrogen peroxide and using concentrated acid as the reaction medium, comprising the steps of (a) maintaining a reaction mixture having a liquid component comprising 60 to 80% concentrated acid, 2.5 to 12.5% hydrogen peroxide, and 7.5 to 37.5 % water and a dispersed solid component comprising crystals of the carboxylic acid starting material and peroxyacid product, the ratio of liquid to solids being from about 15:1 to about 49:1. Preferably the carboxylic acid is added as particles having a size of less than #100 mesh to a preformed solution of the concentrated acid and peroxide.

Abstract: A granular calcium carbonate-containing mixture is formed wherein the calcium carbonate particles have a high effective surface area and a low degree of agglomeration.

Abstract: A prill comprising an organosilane and a water-soluble or water-dispersible, normally solid, nonionic material. The organosilane is stabilized within the prill and can be included in moisture-containing, highly alkaline or electrolyte-containing compositions, e.g. detergent compositions.

Abstract: A carrier granule containing an inert inner core and a coating of an organosilane and water-soluble or water-dispersible, normally solid, nonionic material. The organosilane is stabilized within the carrier granule and can be included in moisture-containing, highly alkaline or electrolyte-containing compositions, e.g. detergent compositions.

Abstract: Novel compounds of formula ##STR1## or siloxane oligomers thereof, wherein a is 0 to 2; R.sub.1 is an alkyl group containing 1 to 18 carbon atoms; b is 1 to 3; c is 0 or 1; at least one R.sub.2 is a carboxy-substituted alkyl group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms,(C.sub.x H.sub.2x O).sub.m Zwherein x is 2 to 4, m is 1 to 20, Z is hydrogen, an alkyl group containing 1 to 18 carbon atoms or an acyl group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or oxygen provided only one R.sub.2 is oxygen, and provided R.sub.2 is not oxygen when c is 0, while the other R.sub.2 is an alkyl, aryl or arylalkyl group containing 1 to 12 carbon atoms; R.sub.3 is an alkyl, aryl or arylalkyl group containing 1 to 22 carbon atoms; X is halide; and Y is nitrogen, phosphorus, or sulfur are disclosed. The novel compounds are useful for inclusion in a detergent composition for imparting soil release benefits to metallic and vitreous surfaces washed or rinsed therewith.

Abstract: A detergent composition containing an organosilane is capable of imparting soil release benefits to hard surfaces washed therewith. Soil adheres to such surfaces less strongly thereby making them easier to clean. The detergent composition can be formulated for use in a wide range of applications, e.g., as a light duty liquid composition, rinse aid, oven cleaner, window cleaner, automatic dishwasher composition, car wash detergent composition or toilet bowl cleaner.

Abstract: The performance of an aqueous detergent composition containing an anionic detergent and an organosilane capable of imparting soil release benefits to hard surfaces washed therewith is enhanced by the addition of free alkalinity and/or mineral hardness ions. The detergent composition can be formulated for use in a wide range of applications such as dishwashing liquids, car wash compositions and general hard surface cleaners.
