Abstract: Incorporating dirt-attracting polycationic polymers, such as polyethyleneimines, into cleaning wipes, mop pads, and similar substrates, improves dirt pick-up and retards redeposition of the dirt back onto the cleaned surface. The polymers can be incorporated directly into the non-woven substrates or they can be formulated with a cleaning composition for use with the substrate. The substrate containing the dirt-attracting polycationic polymers can be employed to clean hard and soft surfaces. The presence of the dirt-attracting polycationic polymers also facilitates biocide release from the substrates.

Abstract: Substantially solid compositions are provided having therein a compound with the structure of Formula I 1

Abstract: A process is provided for the preparation of a compound having the structure of Formula I The process includes reacting a heterocyclic amine with a monoaldehyde or a dialdehyde in a pH range of from about 8 to 14 and then quaternizing the so-reacted heterocyclic amine with an alkylating agent at a pH of not less than about 2. The use of pH control substantially prevents formation of an undesirable protonated reaction intermediate.

Abstract: A freeze-thaw stable thickening system for laundry products incorporating low levels of an acid-insoluble fluorescent whitening agent, a nonionic surfactant that comprises substantially of hydrophilic polyethoxylated alcohol oligomers, a fatty acid soap, and acidic pH adjusting agent is provided. The thickening system may be formulated with a bleaching product and preferably with a peroxide bleach product. Preferred polyethoxylated alcohol oligomers comprise a mixture of alcohols having the structureCH.sub.3 (CH.sub.2).sub.n (OCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2).sub.x OHwherein n is about 11 to about 14 and x is from 0 to about 20 and wherein the average number of ethylene oxide groups per molecule is about 6-10, and preferably about 7. Preferably the total amount of polyethoxylated alcohols having x equal to 0, 1, or 2 comprise less than about 10% by weight of the mixture of polyethoxylated alcohols.

Abstract: A coated-wire electrode for potentiometrically titrating surfactant molecules having more than ten carbon atoms includes an electrically-conductive core coated with a semipermeable membrane. The membrane matrix included a polymer, a plasticizer and an ion-exchange material consisting essentially of dimidium bromide or disulphine blue in suitable proportions to be surfactant selective. The membrane is responsive to anionic, cationic and amphoteric surfactants as well as alkoxylated nonionic surfactants.
