Abstract: The present invention relates to edible, but non-absorbable and non-digestible, halogenated liquid polyesters as weighting oils in carbonated and non-carbonated beverages. It has now been found that bromination of polyol fatty acid ester compounds does not affect their absorption properties, solubility, viscosity, or flavor. Thus the brominated polyol fatty acid ester compounds can be used as weighting oils in beverages with substantially no absorption of bromine by the consumer.

Abstract: Fabric conditioning articles for use in treating fabrics in a laundry dryer. The articles comprise a flexible substrate and a fabric conditioning composition, wherein the fabric conditioning composition is distributed unevenly on the substrate so as to form a visual contrast between areas containing relatively high amounts of conditioning composition and areas containing either no conditioning composition or relatively low amounts thereof.

Abstract: Liquid fabric softening compositions for use in a rinse bath after washing fabrics with a detergent. The softening compositions contain (a) the reaction products of higher fatty acids with a polyamine selected from the group consisting of hydroxyalkylalkylenediamines and dialkylenetriamines and mixtures thereof, (b) cationic nitrogenous salts having only one long chain acyclic aliphatic hydrocarbon group, and optionally (c) cationic nitrogenous salts having two or more long chain acyclic aliphatic hydrocarbon groups or one said group and an arylalkyl group; these compositions provide good softening performance across major types of detergents.

Abstract: Quick setting anionic bituminous emulsions in which the emulsifier is an alkylbenzenesulfonic acid which has been neutralized with specified alkyl or hydroxyalkyl amines.

Abstract: This invention relates to an improved, premeasured, through the wash, dry laundry active product comprised of an oxidation resistant tissue and dry laundry actives contained therein. The oxidation resistant (OR) tissue is particularly useful as a durable substrate and a convenient vehicle for delivering laundry additives to a wash liquor comprising bleach. The improved products of this invention are storage stable, deliver premeasured actives and survive the wash without tearing or shredding.

Abstract: A through the wash, compact, laminated laundry product (1) comprising powdered laundry actives laminated between two plies, at least one ply of which is a strong wet strength, high stretch paper tissue (5) having a multiplicity of deeply embossed (stretched) nonconnecting tissue cup-like depressions (2) containing the powdered actives with the other ply (4) covering the cups. The strong wet strength paper has a wet cross-directional (CD) tensile of from about 78.7 g/cm to about 315 g/cm (200-800 g/in). The plies are sealed with a glue pattern (22) around the cup rims (5a). The high stretch paper is made to withstand an embossed stretch of 15% to 100% to form said deeply embossed (stretched) cups and to survive the rigors of a washing machine.

Abstract: Aqueous hypochlorite laundry bleach compositions containing a suspension of a bleach stable (e.g., Ultramarine Blue) pigment, optical brightener 4,4'-bis(4-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazol-2-yl)-2,2'-stilbenedisulfonate, and a certain alkylaryl sulfonate surfactant. Preferred compositions contain a bleach stable organic material having a density of from 0.8 to 1.05 g/cc, which organic material is preferably a perfume, and a bleach stable buffering agent to maintain pH and physical stability.
