The pre-treatment step improves the degree of softening of the soil, and thus facilitates its removal. The pre-treatment solution can be a strong acidic solution, a strong alkaline solution, or comprise a penetrant. A preferred strong acidic solution is an acid peroxide solution. In some embodiments, the pre-treatment may include no strong alkali or acid ingredient; rather, the penetrant provides acceptable levels of pre-treatment.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2004Date of Patent: March 19, 2013Assignee: Ecolab USA Inc.Inventors: Brandon Leon Herdt, Peter J.

Patent number: 8394755Abstract: Provided are compositions comprising one or more compounds having a structure comprising a node structure with from four to twelve carbon atoms, one or more (poly)glyceryl groups, and one or more hydrophobic moieties, wherein each of the one or more (poly)glyceryl groups is linked to the node structure by a first primary linking group, the one or more hydrophobic moieties are each independently linked either to the node structure by a primary linking group or to one of the (poly)glyceryl groups by a secondary linking group, and wherein the polyglyceryl thickener has an average degree of glyceryl polymerization of from greater than 3 to less than about 11 and an average number of hydrophobic groups per primary linking group of about 0.35 or greater. Also provided are polyglyceryl compounds, compositions comprising water, a surfactant, and a polyglyceryl thickener, as well as, methods of making polyglyceryl compounds and compositions of the present invention.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2011Date of Patent: March 12, 2013Assignee: Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies, Inc.Inventors: Sasa Andjelic, Modesto Erneta, Michael J.

Patent number: 8389455Abstract: Compositions and methods useful for the removal of organic substances from substrates, for example, electronic device substrates such as microelectronic wafers or flat panel displays, are provided. A method is presented which applies a minimum volume of the composition as a coating to the inorganic substrate whereby sufficient heat is added and immediately rinsed with water to achieve complete removal. These compositions and methods are particularly suitable for removing and completely dissolving photoresists of the positive and negative varieties as well as thermoset polymers from electronic devices.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2012Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Assignee: Eastman Chemical CompanyInventors: Michael Wayne Quillen, Dale Edward O'Dell, Zachary Philip Lee, John Cleaon Moore, Edward Enns McEntire
