Abstract: Solvent systems for the formulation of alkyl thiophosphoric triamide urease inhibitors, that provide stable dispersion of alkyl thiophosphoric triamides for even distribution (in low or high concentrations) onto fertilizers containing urea in liquid or solid form.

Abstract: A base product fluid is produced by adding anhydrous liquid ammonia and a first portion of sulfuric acid to water in a process line to form a mixed fluid. The mixed fluid may be cooled and a second portion of sulfuric acid may be added to the mixed fluid to form the base product fluid. The base product fluid may include a molecular compound that is a chelating compound. The molecular compound may have the formula: ((NH4)2SO4)a.(H2SO4)b.(H2O)c.(NH4HSO4)x. In the formula, a may be between 1 and 5, b may be between 1 and 5, c may be between 1 and 5, and x may be between 1 and 10.

Abstract: The invention relates to dyed particles of a bleach material that comprise a coating. The invention also relates to the use of the dyed particles in detergent compositions.

Abstract: A composition including: (a) from 30 to 70% by weight of a mixture of benzyltoluene and dibenzyltoluene, and (b) from 70 to 30% by weight of at least one compound chosen from the C4-C8 aromatic compounds enclosing two benzene rings condensed or bonded to each other by a bond or by a spacer group other than —CH2-, the oligomers of same and the mixtures of same, excluding phenylxylylethane. Also, the use of this composition, with or without phenylxylylethane, depending on the case, as a dielectric and/or heat-transfer fluid, in particular in use conditions at very low temperatures, such as temperatures lower than ?40° C., or indeed lower than ?60° C. Also, mixtures of these compositions with mineral oils and/or natural or synthetic esters. Finally, devices, in particular electrical devices, incorporating this composition.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a preparation method of a low-pH controlled-release intelligent corrosion inhibitor. The low-pH controlled-release intelligent corrosion inhibitor comprises a hydrogel with low pH responsiveness and a corrosion inhibiting substance having the capacity of corrosion inhibition. That is, a corrosion inhibiting substance is wrapped in a low-pH sensitive hydrogel. The swelling degree of the pH sensitive hydrogel may be changed according to the amounts of monomers and crosslinking agents so as to control the releasing speed of the corrosion inhibiting substance. By the soaking experiment and the measurements of electrochemical polarization curves and alternating impedance spectra, the sensitive and long-lasting features of the low-pH controlled-release intelligent corrosion inhibitor are indicated.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to providing a cleansing article. The cleansing article generally includes one or more of a receptacle, a container, one or more segments, a material piece, and one or more of a solid cleanser and a liquid cleanser. The receptacle, the container, the one or more segments, and the material piece are each generally formed of an open cell material. In certain embodiments, the receptacle is used with the one or more segments to increase the activating area of the receptacle. As such, more soapy lather can be created via the one or more solid cleanser and liquid cleanser in comparison to solely using the receptacle. In certain embodiments, the one or more segments are held within the receptacle via the container or via the material piece. As such, the segments being held in such fashion collectively serve as a temporary reservoir for soapy lather created.

Abstract: Novel compositions of matter and the process of preparing these surfactants having the structure: R1[—(O—(R2O)m—(R3O)n—(R4)]y where: R1=alkyl, alkenyl, amine, alkylamine, dialkylamine, trialkylamine, aromatic, polyaromatic, cycloalkane, cycloalkene, R2=C2H4 or C3H6 or C4H8, R3=C2H4 or C3H6 or C4H8, R4=linear or branched C7H14SO3X to C30H60 SO3X when y=1, R4=linear or branched C7H14SO3X to C30H60 SO3X or H when y>1 but at least one R4 must be linear or branched C7H14SO3X to C30H60 SO3X, m?1, n?0, n+m=1 to 30+, y?1, X=alkali metal or alkaline earth metal or ammonium or amine. These novel ether sulfonate surfactants have excellent surfactant properties making them suitable for a variety of applications as surfactants including agriculture, adhesives, coatings, deinking, detergents, emulsion polymerization, laundry, lubricants, metal working, mining, oilfield, personal care, pharmaceuticals, and soil remediation.
