Abstract: Single-phase, heavy-duty liquid detergent compositions containing detergency boosting levels of magnesium cations and alkanolamines are formulated by first underbasing with magnesium hydroxide and therafter adding the alkanolamine.
Abstract: Soaps with low water content are prepared in an alkyl nitrile reaction medium and used to adjust the total water content of an aqueous crutcher mix to an intermediate moisture level without heat input.
Abstract: Alkali metal salts of organic acids are prepared by saponifying the corresponding organic acid ester with an alkali metal hydroxide in a liquid reaction medium comprising a substantially water-free alkyl nitrile.
Abstract: An aqueous emulsion comprising a fatty alkyl ester of a polyhydric alcohol and a cationic surfactant provides a fabric softening composition of unexpected efficacy. In particular, the use of a sorbitan ester with a cationic surfactant provides a softening agent which deposits effectively onto fabric from an aqueous bath.
Abstract: Compositions especially adapted for use as vehicles for the topical administration of an anti-inflammatory amount of acetylsalicylic acid to inflamed tissue and methods for using same are provided.
Abstract: Detergent compositions are provided in the form of inversed emulsions, wherein the continuous phase comprises a highly concentrated detersive surfactant and wherein the disperse phase comprises a highly concentrated electrolyte, preferably a detergency builder.
Abstract: Novel cellulose ethers having a molecular weight from 3000 to 10,000 and a methyl degree of substitution of from 1.8 to 2.7 are especially useful as soil release agents in detergent compositions.
Abstract: Particulate compositions comprising a thiocarbamate herbicide releasably contained with certain polymer matrices are herbicidally effective throughout the growing season.

Abstract: Compositions for inhibiting anomalous deposition and mobilization of calcium phosphates in animal tissue, comprising an effective amount of an alkali metal, ammonium or substituted ammonium carbonyldiphosphonate in a pharmaceutical carrier; and a method for treating conditions involving pathological calcification and hard tissue demineralization in an animal comprising administering to such animal said compositions.
Abstract: Softening articles with improved fabric conditioning properties comprising fabric softener, certain substantially water-insoluble particulate materials and a dispensing means especially adapted for use in an automatic clothes dryer are described. The articles simultaneously provide softness, ease of ironing, anti-wrinkling and improved appearance and aesthetic benefits to fabrics treated therewith.
Abstract: Sodium and lithium salts of organic carboxylic acids are prepared by saponifying the corresponding organic carboxylic acid ester with a concentrated aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide or lithium hydroxide in a liquid reaction medium comprising an alkyl nitrile, separating said salts from the reaction mixture, and removing excess alkyl nitrile from the salts.
Abstract: An improved process for releasably enclosing a solution of a micelle-forming surfactant in a receptacle comprising a microporous cellulose membrane is provided.
Abstract: Controlled release articles which regulate the concentration of a surfactant compound at a useful level in an environment external to said articles are provided. The articles are especially adapted for use in or on the bodies of animals, including humans, to provide controlled release of surfactants having biological activity, for example, non-hormonal contraceptives.
