Abstract: A biodegradable concentrated neutral detergent composition comprises various chelate compounds, various corrosion inhibitors, an alkaline compound, at least one sequestrant, various surfactants and hydrotropes, and water. The detergent can be highly concentrated, has a good long term shelf life, and when diluted is very effective in cleaning metals such as surgical instruments and prevents corrosion resistance of the metal even in a hard water environment.

Abstract: An alkaline concentrated detergent composition for use in cleaning hard surfaces, medical instruments and other metal components (parts, tools, utensils, vessels, equipment) having superior cleaning efficacy at much lower alkali content than traditional alkaline cleaners and enhanced scale control properties even when diluted to about 1/40 ounce per gallon to about 1/10 ounce per gallon in potable water and even in exceptionally hard water. The inventive composition maintains its superior cleaning efficacy and scale control properties during use.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a denture adhesive composition comprising a safe and effective adhesive amount of denture adhesive component; a safe and effective amount of an antiplaque/antistain agent selected from the group consisting of dimethicone copolyol, silicone surfactant, aminoalkylsilicone, organosiloxane resin, and mixtures thereof; and a non-aqueous denture adhesive carrier. The present invention further relates to a method of increasing the antiplaque, antistain, and/or antideposition efficacy or effect in the oral cavity of a denture wearer, in need thereof, by applying the above composition to the oral cavity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for reducing, inhibiting, and/or preventing, calculus, tartar, plaque, and/or microbes, in the oral cavity, comprising from about 15% to about 70% of an alkyl vinyl ether maleic copolymer or terpolymer denture adhesive component, an effective amount of a quaternary ammonium antimicrobial agent selected from the group consisting of cetylpyridinium chloride, domiphen bromide, and mixtures thereof, and a non-aqueous vehicle. A denture wearer in need thereof applies the composition to the oral cavity and/or the denture prosthesis and thereafter secures the denture to the oral cavity.

Abstract: The invention relates to water blown integral skin polyurethane foams made with a particular isocyanate quasi-prepolymer and resin side ingredients to yield a foam having good overall mechanical properties. The isocyanate quasi-prepolymer component of the present invention comprises from 0.5 weight percent to 30.0 weight percent or less uretonimine-carbodiimide-modified diphenylmethane diisocyanate, from 50 weight percent to 80 weight percent 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate and reacted with from 15 weight percent to 40 weight percent of a polyether polyol containing predominately secondary hydroxyl groups and having an average molecular weight from about 2,000 to 10,000, an average functionality from 1.5 to about 3.2, and a hydroxyl number from about 20 to 60, and optionally with a low molecular weight diol in an amount of from 1.0 weight percent to 10 weight percent, the weight percentages based on the weight of the quasi-prepolymer reactants.
