The one or more chelants may be present in an amount sufficient to permit a use of a water having a hardness number up to about 600 ppm (600 mg/L) or more.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2008Date of Patent: November 23, 2010Assignee: Ecolab Inc.Inventors: Danielle Elise Underwood, Tami Jo Tadrowski, Karen Odom Rigley

Patent number: 7838485Abstract: An aqueous, alkaline cleaning composition for use on hard-to-clean soils, encountered in pharmaceutical, personal care, food and cosmetic manufacturing, comprising a source of alkalinity, a biodegradable surfactant system further comprising one or more surfactants, one or more hydrotropes, and a UV-analyzable surfactant, and a biodegradable chelating agent. The composition offers unique advantages of stability over the expected shelf life, low-foaming property, phosphate-free and biodegradable components, and unexpectedly enhanced antimicrobial, including virucidal, activity in one cleaning composition. The UV-analyzable surfactant allows for validation of cleaning processes using known techniques for manufacturers who are required or desire to do so.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2007Date of Patent: November 23, 2010Assignee: American Sterilizer CompanyInventors: Christopher C.

Patent number: 7833959Abstract: The present invention relates to a method to decrease the flammability of normally flammable alcohols and solvents. The additive is Alpha Terpineol, which will increase the flash point of flammable alcohols or solvents, by blending the Terpineol into the flammable solvent or alcohol. Solvents such as acetone, methanol, ethylacetate, ethanol and xylene, to name a few, increases flash points by 50° C. to 60° C., by addition of 12-14% terpineol. The said solvent can then be blended with other organic solvents to produce performance solvents, such as paint strippers with flash points greater than 140° F. and meet Federal and state Volatile Organic Compound regulations.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2007Date of Patent: November 16, 2010Assignee: Tarksol International LLCInventor: A.
