Abstract: A fibrous web, in particular tissue web treated with a lotion composition based on an O/W emulsion comprising: (A) at least one oil; (B) an (O/W) emulsifier or (O/W) emulsifier combination; and (C) 6 to 30 weight % of water; wherein the weight % values relate to the total weight of the lotion composition. Since in the above lotion composition the external phase is aqueous, a web treated therewith can easily be wet by water and does not float on the water if it is to be disposed in a toilet.

Abstract: A process for making paper substrates having a soft feel involving: (a) providing a paper substrate; (b) providing an emulsion containing: (i) a polyol poly-12-hydroxystearate; (ii) a wax ester; and (iii) a wax; and (c) impregnating the paper substrate with the emulsion.

Abstract: Oil-in-water emulsions comprised of: (a) a polyol poly-12-hydroxystearate polyester; (b) an alkyl polyglycoside; (c) an oil; and (d) from 5 to 30% by weight water. When used as paper additives, the emulsions significantly improve the softness and feel of the paper products.

Abstract: A paper substrate impregnated with an emulsion containing: (a) a polyol poly-12-hydroxystearate; (b) an oil component selected from the group consisting of a dialkyl ether, a dialkyl carbonate, a glyceride, a hydrocarbon, a silicone oil, and mixtures thereof; (c) up to about 20% by weight of a humectant; (d) up to about 10% by weight of an irritation-soothing agent; (e) up to about 10% by weight of a consistency factor; (f) up to about 15% by weight of a co-emulsifier; and (g) from about 5 to 25% by weight of water, all weights being based on the weight of the emulsion.

Abstract: The invention relates to water-in-oil or oil-in-water emulsions containing (a) polyol poly-12-hydroxy stearates, (b) oil bodies selected from the group containing glycerides, hydrocarbons, silicon oils, dialkyl ethers and dialkyl carbonates, or mixtures of the same, and (c) 5-25 wt. % water. Said emulsions are characterised by exceptional softness and are suitable for use as body care agents, as well as impregnating and brightening agents for woven fabric, non-woven fabric and paper.

Abstract: The use of phase inversion temperature emulsions containing a non-aqueous phase of (a) one or more C8-22 fatty acid alkyl esters, (b) one or more C8-22 fatty alcohols, (c) one or more C8-22 alcohol polyglycol ethers, and (d) one or more C8-22 fatty acid partial glycerides, and an aqueous phase; as softening formulations for substrates such as papers, nonwovens, tissues and cloths is described.

Abstract: Solubilizates containing a water-insoluble substance, an aqueous phase and a solubilizer, wherein the solubilizer comprises (i) an alk(en)yl oligoglycoside; and (ii) a polyol component, are described. Methods of solubilizing water-insoluble substances with combinations of alk(en)yl oligoglycosides and polyol components are also described.

Abstract: The invention relates to opacifiers containing waxes and a mixture of two emulsifiers with different HLB values. The low-viscosity opacifier concentrates are based on waxes with a solids content of 40 to 60% by weight which are characterized that they contain at least one hydrophilic nonionic surfactant with an HLB value above 10 and at least one hydrophobic nonionic surfactant with ab HLB value below 10 as emulsifiers.

Abstract: An aqueous emulsion concentrate comprising:A) a water-insoluble oil component;B) at least one hydrophilic nonionic emulsifier;C) at least one lipophilic co-emulsifier; andD) from about 50 to about 70% by weight of water, based on the weight of the concentrate;wherein components A), B) and C) are present in a ratio by weight of A:B:C of 1:(0.31-1.5):(0.31-1.5); and wherein the emulsion concentrate is flowable and pumpable at 20.degree.
