Patent number: 7960326Abstract: The present invention is directed to a personal cleansing product which can be sized as a single use personal cleansing product. The cleansing product is an extruded foam product which can disintegrate upon contact with water when used in the standard fashion to wash. As the foam disintegrates, the cleansing agent held in the foam matrix is released. The disintegration of the product can take place slowly, over a period of time such that when an individually sized cleanser is used to scrub until it completely disintegrates, scrubbing duration is long enough to ensure desired levels of cleanliness have been attained. Alternatively, the product can disintegrate immediately, and release all of the soap at essentially one time. The product is an extruded foam expanded from a mixture of a natural starch, a nucleating agent, a water soluble disintegrant, a blowing agent, a water soluble polymer, and a soap base.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2002Date of Patent: June 14, 2011Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Brendon F.

Patent number: 7384904Abstract: A process for reducing the amount of halocarbons in a mixture containing water and at least one of an alkyl or alkenyl glycoside carboxylic acid. The amount of halocarbon is reduced by heating the mixture at a temperature of 50° C. to 120° C. at a pH of from 10-14. The amount of organomonochloro compounds can be reduced to a range of 5 ppm or less and the amount of organodichloro compounds can be reduced to a range of 30 ppm.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2003Date of Patent: June 10, 2008Assignee: Cognis Deutschland GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Ansgar Behler, Almud Folge
