Abstract: The present disclosure provides a composition comprising at least one primary branched nonionic surfactant of Formula (I) wherein x is an integer from 1 to 11, y is an integer from 0 to 25, R1 is an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and R2 is an alkyl group having 3 to 7 carbon atoms; and a secondary alcohol ethoxylate of Formula (II): wherein R3 and R4 are linear alkyl groups each having from 1 to 12 carbon atoms, and n is an integer from 1 to 20.

Abstract: The present invention provides water-based cleaning formulations comprising one or more organic solvents having low solubility in water and an alkylene glycol dilevulinate for coupling the organic solvent with water.

Abstract: Hard surface cleaning compositions comprise: A. Surfactant, e.g., a nonionic ethoxylated alcohol; B. Solvent, e.g., propyleneglycol n-butyl ether; C. Low VOC, low odor, alkanolamine selected from the group consisting of tris(hydroxymethyl)amino methane; 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol; 2-amino-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol; 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol; N,N-dimethylamino-2-methyl-1-propanol; and 3-amino-4-octanol; D. Water, and E. Optionally, one or more of an alkaline agent, builder, fragrance, preservative, biocide, colorant, dye and rheology modifier.

Abstract: This invention relates to hindered-hydroxyl functional (meth)acrylate monomers containing significant amounts of the corresponding di(meth)acrylates, and to compositions including same. The hindered-hydroxyl functional (meth)acrylate and di(meth)acrylate monomers do not require separation prior to polymerization and have utility in coating, adhesive, ink, and sealant compositions, as well as in other end uses.

Abstract: This invention relates to novel copolymers based on the copolymerization product of hydroxyl (meth)acrylate esters and (meth)acrylate esters of hydroxyalkyl carbamates; and other homopolymers and copolymers base on (meth)acrylate esters. In addition, novel copolymer blends may be formulated from individual copolymers based on hydroxyl (meth)acrylate esters and individual (meth)acrylate esters of hydroxyalkyl carbamates. Mixtures including crosslinking agents may be used to provide curable copolymer or copolymer-blend coating compositions.
