Patent number: 9512377Abstract: The process basically comprises: dissolving a lamellar disulphide, as a source of the solid lubricant, in an aqueous solvent, forming a first aqueous solution; dissolving a reducing agent, as hydroxylamine, sodium hypophosphite or sodium borohydride, in an aqueous solvent, forming a second aqueous solution; mixing the first and second aqueous solutions, forming a third aqueous solution; neutralizing the pH of the third aqueous solution; dissolving a sulphur source, in an aqueous solvent, forming a fourth aqueous solution; mixing the third and fourth aqueous solutions, forming a fifth aqueous solution, which is contained and heated in an autoclave; cooling the fifth aqueous solution to the room temperature; and removing, from the autoclave, the nanoparticles in powder form.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2012Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignees: Whirlpool S.A., Universidade Federal De Santa CatarinaInventors: Roberto Binder, Fernando Withers Torres, Valderes Drago, Cristian Bernardi, Aloisio Nelmo Klein, Cristiano Binder, Andre Messias Teixeira

Patent number: 8957004Abstract: The invention relates to aerated soap bars. Generally, it is difficult to get aerated soap bars with the right level of aeration, because high viscosity of the molten soap mass sometimes makes it difficult to aerate it to the desired extent. The size and movement of air bubbles also play important roles. Bars with larger air bubbles have lower mechanical strength. We have determined that use of acrylates or cellulose ethers in aerated soap bars lead to bars with acceptable rate of wear, mush and lower density. The soaps also have a higher and more uniform air incorporation and better air retention. Disclosed are aerated soap bars having density from 0.2 to 0.99 g/cm3, comprising: (i) 20 to 80 wt % soap; (ii) 2 to 40 wt % polyol; (iii) 5 to 50% water; and, (iv) 0.5 to 5 wt % electrolyte; wherein the bars comprise 0.1 to 5 wt % polymer selected from acrylates or cellulose ethers.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2012Date of Patent: February 17, 2015Assignee: Conopco, Inc.Inventors: Ankur Chourey, Camile Florido, Sergio Roberto Leopoldino, Edirlei Roberto Magon, André Messias Krell Pedro, Anal Pushkarna, Angelica Marques Rodriques
