Abstract: A process for forming a low density detergent granule has the steps of providing from about 0.1% to about 6% of a hydrotrope, providing from about 22% to about 50% crutcher mix moisture, providing from about 0.2% to about 8% of a water-soluble polymer with a molecular weight of at least about 10,000 g/mol, providing from about 2% to about 20% sodium silicate having a SiO2:Na2O ratio of at least about 2:1, and the balance of adjunct crutcher ingredients, mixing the hydrotrope, crutcher mix moisture, polymer, silicate, and adjunct crutcher ingredients in a crutcher to form a slurry, injecting a gas into the slurry at a pressure of from about 6,000 kPa to about 13,000 kPa, and at a rate of from about 0.01% to about 0.25% and forming the slurry into a detergent granule. The slurry is substantially free of zeolite builder and phosphate builder and the crutcher temperature is maintained at from about 40° C. to about 95° C.

Abstract: The invention refers to absorbent structures for use in an absorbent article, the absorbent structure comprising a water absorbing material. The water absorbing material is obtainable by a process comprising the steps of bringing particles of a non surface-crosslinked water-absorbing polymer in contact with at least one post-crosslinker, at least one water-insoluble metal phosphate, and at least one further ingredient. The at least one ingredient is selected from at least one Nitrogen-containing water-soluble polymer, and at least one hydrophobic polymer. The particles are heat-treated at a temperature in the range from 120° C. to 300° C.

Abstract: A method for emitting or releasing volatile materials to the atmosphere is provided. More specifically, a method for delivering one or more volatile materials using a non-aerosol, non-energized volatile material delivery system via an evaporative surface device, without a source of heat, gas, or electrical current, are also provided.

Abstract: Dehydrated potato flakes prepared from potato slices, slivers and/or nubbins suitable for use in dough compositions used to make fabricated products. The dehydrated flakes are prepared such that the physical properties in the flake are controlled during processing. The resulting flakes can be used to prepare a more cohesive, non-adhesive, machineable dough.

Abstract: Cleaning pads for cleaning a hard surface with a cleaning implement are provided. A cleaning pad can have distinct high friction region(s) and low friction(s). A cleaning pad can also have distinct hydrophilic region(s) and hydrophobic region(s). A method of cleaning a floor surface with a cleaning implement and a cleaning pad by applying a cleaning solution on the floor surface while the implement and the pad are not in contact with the floor surface and then wipe the floor surface with the pad, is also provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of hair coloring and bleaching compositions providing a composition comprising i) at least one source of peroxymonocarbonate ions, ii) at least one alkalizing agent, preferably a source of ammonium ions, and iii) at least one radical scavenger, wherein said composition has a pH of up to 9.5, and applying the composition to the hair and retaining on the hair for a period of less than 20 minutes, which provide a high level of lift and lightening and the required dye deposition and grey coverage whilst reducing the concentration of peroxide, the ammonia odor and reducing the hair fiber damage.

Abstract: A bathroom accessory adapted to connect with a bathroom tissue roll trunnion and support a container of wipes is disclosed. The bathroom accessory may include first and second brackets connected with and extending upward from a base. The first and second brackets can be adapted to connect with a tissue trunnion, and the base can be adapted to support a container of wipes thereon. Embodiments of the bathroom accessory can be configured structural features to provide a keyed engagement a wipe container to help ensure that a particular type of wipe container is used with the wipe container holder. Other embodiments include features that may help secure the wipe container in a particular position on the wipe container holder. Further, embodiments of the wipe container holder can also be used when toilet training an individual.

Abstract: The present invention relates to 6,7-dihydro-5H-pyrazolo[1,2?]pyrazol-1-ones which inhibit the extracellular release of inflammatory cytokines, said cytokines responsible for one or more human or higher mammalian disease states. The present invention further relates to compositions comprising said 6,7-dihydro-5H-pyrazolo[1,2?]pyrazol-1-ones and methods for preventing, abating, or otherwise controlling enzymes which are understood to be the active components responsible for the herein described disease states.
