Publication number: 20190373892Abstract: Formaldehyde-free preservative blends of 1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one (“BIT”) and certain dithiocarbamates inhibit microbial degradation of products that include ingredients which are naturally susceptible to, or have been previously exposed to, microbial contamination. This combination is effective in materials such as mineral slurries, pulp and paper slurries, wallboard joint compounds, mastics and asphalt emulsions. Also, methods for inhibiting the growth of microbes during storage of these materials without the use of formaldehyde or formaldehyde-releasing products.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2019Publication date: December 12, 2019Applicant: Troy CorporationInventors: Richard S.

Patent number: 10427862Abstract: An aerosol dispenser assembly is disclosed that includes a container holding a liquid product and a compressed gas propellant for propelling the liquid product from the container. A design methodology for the actuator body and swirl nozzle insert is disclosed for maintaining a small particle size or Sauter Mean Diameter (D[3, 2]) of less than 48 ?m at a suitable spray rate (1.5-2 g/s), while utilizing a compressed gas VOC-free propellant for an air freshener product. As obtaining reduced particle size to compete with LPG propellants may result in a reduced spray rate, it is anticipated that one or more nozzles may be designed into the actuator body to maintain a suitable spray rate.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2015Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: S.C.

Patent number: 9364007Abstract: A composition for solvating one or more active agents in an aqueous solution which is suitable for dispensing as a compressed gas aerosol composition is disclosed. The composition includes at least one surfactant, at least one active agent (such as a fragrance or an insecticide), and a compressed gas propellant. The at least one surfactant is preferably present in an amount from about 0.1 wt. % to about 3 wt. %. The at least one active agent is preferably present in an amount from about 0.1 wt. % to about 2 wt. %. The compressed gas propellant is preferably present in an amount from about 0.1 wt. % to about 1 wt. %. The total surfactant weight to active agent weight ratio for the composition is preferably about 1:3 to 5:1. The composition uses a reduced amount of surfactant and active agent thereby allowing for a more efficient active agent loading and a reduced stickiness or tackiness on surfaces contacted during use.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2015Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignee: S.

Patent number: 9040024Abstract: An air treating composition for eliminating airborne malodors and/or sanitizing air in combination with a spray valve and actuator and spray performance parameters providing maximum dispersion of the composition is disclosed. The particles of the composition are small so that the active component is dispersed into air as a fine dispersion to provide more contact with malodors and to provide quick absorption of malodors and/or bacteria. The particle size of the composition is controlled through the valve and actuator dimensions, as well as the formulation requirements of the composition. The air treating composition includes water, a low molecular weight polyol, and a propellant. The composition may also include one or more adjuvants such as an emulsifier, a co-solvent, a fragrance, a corrosion inhibitor, a pH adjusting agent and the like.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2013Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: S.C.
