Abstract: A hard surface cleaning composition comprising: a) from 1% to 60% by weight of the composition of a surfactant system comprising an anionic surfactant and a primary co-surfactant selected from the group consisting of amphoteric, zwitteronic and mixtures thereof; and b) from 0.1% to 10% by weight of the composition of a polyetheramine.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a liquid refilling system (10) having a parent device (201) and a child or portable travel device sized device (101) that can be releasably coupled to the parent device (201) to transfer liquid from the parent to the child device. The parent device has a pump (207), an actuator (217) and an actuator stroke limitation means (218) whereby the amount of liquid dispensed by the parent device (201) can be selected as a single use predetermined amount or as a child refill amount. The parent pump is in liquid communication with the parent liquid reservoir and the pump has a volume which is substantially equal to the volume of the child.

Abstract: The present invention relates to liquid laundry detergent compositions comprising a polyetheramine.

Abstract: Bio-based glacial acrylic acid, produced from hydroxypropionic acid, hydroxypropionic acid derivatives, or mixtures thereof and having impurities of hydroxypropionic acid, hydroxypropionic acid derivatives, or mixtures thereof, is polymerized to poly(acrylic acid) or superabsorbent polymer using the same processes as petroleum-derived glacial acrylic acid.

Abstract: A laminar air flow development device for use with stationary web material testing equipment is disclosed. The laminar air flow development device has a machine direction, a cross-machine direction orthogonal thereto, and a Z-direction orthogonal to both the machine and cross-machine directions. The stationary web material testing equipment has a first web material support having a Z-direction thickness, D. The device has first and second surfaces contactingly and matingly engaged to form an airfoil having a machine direction length, L, a cross-machine direction width, a leading edge, and a trailing end. The airfoil has a chord disposed between the first and second surfaces. The trailing end has a width equal to the Z-direction thickness, D. The device has a ratio of L/D ranging from about 1 to about 70 and provides machine direction laminar air flow to at least one surface of the first web material support.

Abstract: Fibrous structures that exhibit a novel combination of properties and to methods for making such fibrous structures are provided.

Abstract: Fibrous structures and/or sanitary tissue products comprising fibrous structure, and more particularly to fibrous structures comprising pulp fibers, wherein the fibrous structures exhibit unique elongation (stretch) and total foreshortening properties, and methods for making such fibrous structures.

Abstract: An absorbent article having improved softness signals is disclosed. The article may include a topsheet or a backsheet including a nonwoven web. The web may have a basis weight of 30 gsm or less, may be formed of spunlaid fibers including polyolefin and up to 5 percent by weight TiO2, and may be impressed with a pattern of bond impressions to a bond area percentage of at least 10 percent forming a pattern of bonded regions and raised regions. The web may have opacity of 42 or greater; have an average height difference between bonded regions and raised regions of at least 280 ?m; be hydroengorged; and/or have a cross-direction tensile strength of 350 gf/cm. A nonwoven web manufactured to have a suitable combination of such features exhibits an enhanced appearance of softness, soft tactile feel and satisfactory mechanical attributes, while being relatively cost effective.

Abstract: A fibrous structure including filaments wherein the filaments comprise one or more filament-forming materials and one or more active agents that are releasable from the filament when exposed to conditions of intended use, the fibrous structure further having at least three regions. Methods of treating fabrics with a fibrous structure are also provided herein.

Abstract: In a tooth whitening method, a whitening composition is applied to at least one tooth. The whitening composition is maintained on the at least one tooth for a first time period. After the first time period, a light radiation is directed toward the at least one tooth for a second time period. The first time period has a duration greater than 50% of a total duration of the first and second time periods. The whitening composition is removed from the at least one tooth.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for controlling the plasticization of a water soluble film comprising preparing a detergent composition comprising anionic surfactant and solvent system comprising at least one primary solvent having Hansen solubility (?) of less than 30 and encapsulating said composition in a water soluble film to form a pouch unitized dose product.

Abstract: An apparatus suitable for separating particles and methods for using such apparatus are provided.

Abstract: A personal care composition exhibiting a tan delta of about 0.30 or more at about 10° C. includes a primary surfactant, secondary surfactant, and a polyol. Methods are also provided to improve the stability of a personal care composition.

Abstract: A method for configuring a package labeler, and or labeling process including: providing a package defined as a computed mesh; providing a computed mesh description of a package labeler; providing operational parameters of a labeling operation for the package; simulating the interaction of the package and the package labeler according to the operational parameters of the labeling operation, the computed mesh of the package labeler and the computed mesh of the package; determining the location and/or deformation of the package mesh during at least a portion of the simulated interaction; and confirming, rejecting, or configuring the package labeler according to the determined location(s).
