  • Transparent/translucent liquid compositions in clear bottles comprising colorant and fluorescent dye or UV absorber
    Patent number: 6630437
    Abstract: A translucent or transparent aqueous heavy duty liquid in a clear bottle comprising colorant dye and fluorescent dye and/or UV absorber to protect said colorant dye.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 16, 1998
    Date of Patent: October 7, 2003
    Assignee: Unilever Home & Personal Care USA , division of Conopco, Inc.
    Inventors: Dennis Stephen Murphy, Kristina Marie Neuser, Myongsuk Bae-Lee, Feng-Lung Gordon Hsu, Daniel Joseph Kuzmenka, Barbara Bory
  • Isotropic liquids comprising hydrophobically modified polar polymer
    Patent number: 5723434
    Abstract: Isotropic liquid detergent composition comprises specific soil antiredeposition polymers containing a hydrophilic backbone and monomer with hydrophobic side chains. When the molar ratio of the number hydrophilic groups to number of hydrophobic groups on said polymers is below certain critical levels, it has been unexpectedly found that the stability (i.e., clarity) of the composition remarkably increases. The solubility of the polymer is further dependent on the type and amount (minimum required) of hydrotrope; surfactant type and levels; and minimum electrolyte levels.

    Filed: January 25, 1996
    Date of Patent: March 3, 1998
    Assignee: Lever Brothers Company, Division of Conopco, Inc.
    Inventors: Nancy Ann Falk, Barbara Bory, Tamara Padron, Tirucherai Varahan Vasudevan, Diane Wolf, Jeanie Lum
  • Isotropic liquids comprising hydrophobically modified polar polymers plus aliphatic hydrocarbon oils
    Patent number: 5719117
    Abstract: Isotropic liquid detergent composition comprises specific soil antiredeposition polymers containing a hydrophilic backbone and hydrophobic side chain; and aliphatic hydrocarbon oils. When the molar ratio of hydrophilic groups of the backbone to number of hydrophobic groups attached to the backbone is below certain critical levels; and aliphatic hydrocarbon oil of defined molecular weight (MW) range are incorporated in the formulation; it has been unexpectedly found that the stability (i.e., clarity) of the composition remarkably increases in such oil containing compositions.
