Patent number: 5205960Abstract: A method of making a heavy duty clear, single phase, solvated built aqueous liquid detergent composition. The composition consists essentially of at least one nonionic surfactant, at least one builder, an effective amount of a water soluble polymeric anionic hydrotrope to render the composition clear, stable and single phase which hydrotrope is a specific polymer of maleic anhydride and at least one alpha olefin, and water wherein the composition has a pH in the range of from 6 to 9. The novel hydrotrope used is a hydrolyzed (a) copolymer of maleic anhydride and a C.sub.6 to C.sub.24 alpha olefin or (b) ter- or higher polymer of maleic anhydride with two or more C.sub.6 to C.sub.30+ alpha olefins as long as one of the alpha olefins is a C.sub.2 to C.sub.18 alpha olefin and the ratio of alpha olefins present are such that the average alpha olefin carbon chain length in the ter- or higher polymer is greater than about 6 and less than about 18.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 1991Date of Patent: April 27, 1993Assignee: S. C. Johnson & Son, Inc.Inventors: Karen K. Kristopeit, Calvin J. Verbrugge

Patent number: 4871823Abstract: Disclosed is a free-radical addition polymer containing from 55 mole percent to about 95 mole percent of units derived from maleic anhydride and from about 5 mole percent to about less than 45 mole percent of units derived from 1-alkenes having at least 4 carbon atoms wherein the polymer has an average of at least one unit derived from a 1-alkene per polymer chain making up the polymer based on the number average molecular weight of the polymer and thus contains excess units derived from maleic anhydride randomly dispersed throughout the polymer. The polymers are useful in detergents as stabilizers, additives to floor polishes and, especially when esterified with alcohols, as surfactants.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 1987Date of Patent: October 3, 1989Assignee: S. C. Johnson & Son, Inc.Inventors: Fred L. Billman, Lih-Bin Shih, Calvin J. Verbrugge

Patent number: 4859752Abstract: Disclosed is a method of making a polymer containing more than 50 to about 95 mole percent, preferably 65 to 80 mole percent, of units derived from maleic anhydride and the balance units derived from at least one 1-alkene. The method comprises mixing the maleic anhydride and 1-alkenes selected in the presence of a thermally decomposable initiator and, optionally, in the presence of a solvent at a temperature ranging between 145.degree. C. to 200.degree. C., in such a manner that throughout the process, the ratio of maleic anhydride to 1-alkenes is more than 50:50 to about 95:5, most preferably between 65:35 to 80:20, to form a reaction mixture and thereafter maintaining the reaction mixture at from 145.degree. C. to 200.degree. C. until a polymer containing more than 50 mole percent of maleic anhydride is obtained.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 1987Date of Patent: August 22, 1989Assignee: S. C.

Patent number: 4849489Abstract: A continuous process and system for producing a polymer comprising maleic anhydride and alpha-olefin monomeric units is disclosed. The process comprises combining monomeric reactants comprising the maleic anhydride and the alpha-olefin, in the presence of a minimal effective amount of a solvent, to produce a polymerizable reaction mixture. The solvent is present in minimal amounts, namely, at about 2 to about 9 weight percent, based upon the weight of the reaction mixture. The polymerizable reaction mixture is heated; and at least one thermally-decomposable initiator is added to the thus-heated, polymerizable reaction mixture to initiate the polymerization reaction. The presence of the initiator causes the maleic anhydride and the alpha-olefin to polymerize, thereby producing the desired polymer.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 1987Date of Patent: July 18, 1989Assignee: S. C. Johnson & Son, Inc.Inventors: Franck E. Benhamou, Kenneth R. Lukow, Calvin J. Verbrugge
