  • HAND CLEANSING/SANITIZING METHOD AND APPARATUS
    Publication number: 20100303671
    Abstract: Systems and methods for cleansing and/or sanitizing using a gaseous media are disclosed. Various hand cleansing and/or sanitizing formulations can be emanated from a system in a discrete packet of gaseous media such as a vortex ring. A hand cleansing and/or sanitizing formulation can be projected to a hand with excellent accuracy and cohesiveness. The gaseous medium can include a permanent gas and/or vapor, and can have a liquid and/or solid in a stable aerosolized form.

  • Non sooting paraffin containing candle
    Patent number: 6758869
    Abstract: Substantially soot free candles that incorporate paraffin and fatty material (hydrogenated triglycerides (TG) and/or free fatty acids (FFA)) that has a low Iodine Value (IV). The use of low IV fatty material and proper component percentages results in low soot or soot free candles. Paraffin/TG, paraffin/TG/FFA and paraffin/FFA candles are disclosed as are appropriate component percentages and/or IV values to achieve desired low or non sooting characteristics.

  • Non sooting candle composition
    Publication number: 20020144455
    Abstract: Substantially soot free candles are disclosed that incorporate one or more fatty materials (hydrogenated fatty alcohols, free fatty acids (FFA), and/or triglycerides (TG)) having a low Iodine Value (IV). The use of low IV fatty material and proper component percentages results in low soot or soot free compositions that can be blended with paraffin if desired to create very stable, non-sooting or low-sooting candles.

  • Method of delivering a water-based room air freshener
    Patent number: 4938416
    Abstract: A method of delivering a water-based room air freshener is disclosed that provides a hand held pump sprayer to deliver a minute amount of atomized particles into the room atmosphere for immediate detection by the olfactory senses. The water-based disprsions include about 88% to about 99% by weight water, about 0.1% to about 5% by weight fragrance oil, about 0.1% to about 5% by weight surfactant, and about 0.1% to about 2% by weight preservative, with the dispersions preserved against microbial attack and free from volatile propellants.

  • Supported transition metal catalysts and process for their preparation
    Patent number: 4043941
    Abstract: An improved process is provided herein for the preparation of immobilized transition metal catalysts containing up to about 60 wt. % bound transition metal. These catalysts are obtained by heating a hydroxylic support with an excess of a transition metal alkoxide in an inert hydrocarbon and in the presence of water.
