Abstract: A prill comprising an organosilane and a water-soluble or water-dispersible, normally solid, nonionic material. The organosilane is stabilized within the prill and can be included in moisture-containing, highly alkaline or electrolyte-containing compositions, e.g. detergent compositions.

Abstract: A carrier granule containing an inert inner core and a coating of an organosilane and water-soluble or water-dispersible, normally solid, nonionic material. The organosilane is stabilized within the carrier granule and can be included in moisture-containing, highly alkaline or electrolyte-containing compositions, e.g. detergent compositions.

Abstract: Novel compounds of formula ##STR1## or siloxane oligomers thereof, wherein a is 0 to 2; R.sub.1 is an alkyl group containing 1 to 18 carbon atoms; b is 1 to 3; c is 0 or 1; at least one R.sub.2 is a carboxy-substituted alkyl group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms,(C.sub.x H.sub.2x O).sub.m Zwherein x is 2 to 4, m is 1 to 20, Z is hydrogen, an alkyl group containing 1 to 18 carbon atoms or an acyl group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or oxygen provided only one R.sub.2 is oxygen, and provided R.sub.2 is not oxygen when c is 0, while the other R.sub.2 is an alkyl, aryl or arylalkyl group containing 1 to 12 carbon atoms; R.sub.3 is an alkyl, aryl or arylalkyl group containing 1 to 22 carbon atoms; X is halide; and Y is nitrogen, phosphorus, or sulfur are disclosed. The novel compounds are useful for inclusion in a detergent composition for imparting soil release benefits to metallic and vitreous surfaces washed or rinsed therewith.

Abstract: A detergent composition containing an organosilane is capable of imparting soil release benefits to hard surfaces washed therewith. Soil adheres to such surfaces less strongly thereby making them easier to clean. The detergent composition can be formulated for use in a wide range of applications, e.g., as a light duty liquid composition, rinse aid, oven cleaner, window cleaner, automatic dishwasher composition, car wash detergent composition or toilet bowl cleaner.

The novel compounds are useful for inclusion in a detergent composition for imparting soil release benefits to metallic and vitreous surfaces washed or rinsed therewith.

Abstract: The performance of an aqueous detergent composition containing an anionic detergent and an organosilane capable of imparting soil release benefits to hard surfaces washed therewith is enhanced by the addition of free alkalinity and/or mineral hardness ions. The detergent composition can be formulated for use in a wide range of applications such as dishwashing liquids, car wash compositions and general hard surface cleaners.

Abstract: Organosilanes of formula ##STR1## or siloxane oligomers thereof, wherein R.sub. 1 is an alkyl group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms orZ(OC.sub. x H.sub. 2x).sub.mwhere x is 2 to 4, m is 1 to 20, and Z is hydrogen, an alkyl group containing 1 to 18 carbon atoms or an acyl group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms; a is 0 to 2; R.sub.2 is an alkyl group containing 1 to 18 carbon atoms; b is 1 to 3; R.sub.3 is an alkyl, aryl or arylalkyl group containing 1 to 12 carbon atoms, a carboxy-substituted alkyl group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms,(C.sub.x H.sub.2x O).sub.m Zwhere x, m and Z are as defined above, or oxygen provided only one R.sub.3 is oxygen; R.sub.4 is an alkyl, aryl, or arylalkyl group containing 1 to 22 carbon atoms; X is halide; and Y is nitrogen, phosphorus, or sulfur.
