  • Solid- suspending systems
    Publication number: 20040002438
    Abstract: Structured surfactant systems with solid suspending properties comprise a substantially non-aqueous liquid continuous phase and a structuring surfactant capable of forming an L&agr; phase in said continuous liquid phase at a concentration between 10 and 20% by weight solid surfactant preferably comprising at least two hydrophobic C7-30 aliphatic groups per molecule, said groups preferably comprising bent chain groups such as cis monounsaturated alkenyl e.g. erucyl or singly branched alkyl e.g. isopalmityl.
    Type: Application
    Filed: February 11, 2003
    Publication date: January 1, 2004
    Inventors: John Hawkins, Edward Tunstall Messenger, Zenaida Rivera-Healy, Richard Malcolm Clapperton, Mark Rollinson
  • Aqueous based surfactant compositions
    Patent number: 6177396
    Abstract: The use of a stabiliser comprising a hydrophilic polymeric chain of more than four hydrophilic monomer groups and/or having a mass greater than 300 amu, linked at one end to a hydrocarbon-soluble hydrophobic group to reduce or prevent the flocculation of systems comprising a flocculable surfactant and a liquid medium which is capable of flocculating the surfactant and in which the stabiliser is capable of existing as a micellar solution at a concentration of at least 1% by weight.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 17, 1996
    Date of Patent: January 23, 2001
    Assignee: Albright & Wilson UK Limited
    Inventors: Richard Malcolm Clapperton, John Reginald Goulding, Boyd William Grover, Ian Foster Guthrie, William Paul Haslop, Edward Tunstall Messenger, Jill Elizabeth Newton, Stewart Alexander Warburton
