Patent number: 9273273Abstract: A wash pod is provided that includes unit dose of anhydrous wash concentrate surfactant containing at least one cationic surfactant and at least one nonionic surfactant in water soluble hygroscopic polymeric package containing the concentrate. The film encapsulates the wash formula unit dose and dissolves when placed in a bucket of water while also being chemically and physically strong enough to hold a more preferred alkaline formula as well as to remain stable during storage is provided. A low volatile organic compound (VOC) car wash formula that is highly concentrated with a low water content and contains nonionic and cationic surfactants to promote cleaning, foaming and beading, while also containing a small amount of carnauba wax is also provided. The formulation of the car wash detergent provides a streak free low residue finish on a cleaned surface.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: March 1, 2016Assignee: ILLINOIS TOOL WORKS, INC.Inventors: Ronald Fausnight, Liliana Minevski, Janice Crayton, Bernard Asente

Patent number: 9074107Abstract: A process of protecting a vehicle wheel or hub is provided that includes the application to the vehicle wheel or hub of a composition. The composition includes a water soluble polymeric film former, a plasticizer and a carrier that solubilizes or suspends the film former and the plasticizer. After allowing the composition to dry to form a coating, the coating is exposed to debris contaminants. The coating and the debris contaminants are then removed. The coating is readily removed by water washing alone.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2012Date of Patent: July 7, 2015Assignee: ILLINOIS TOOL WORKS, INC.Inventors: Jiafu Fang, Liliana Minevski, Tze-Lee Phang
