Patent number: 7341674Abstract: The present invention relates to a stable, aqueous wrinkle controlling and, optionally, odor-absorbing, composition, preferably for use on fabric. The composition preferably comprises fabric lubricant, shape retention polymer, lithium salts, and/or plasticizers for wrinkle control and, optionally, from about 0.1% to about 20%, by weight of the composition, of solubilized, water-soluble, uncomplexed cyclodextrin. Optionally, the composition can contain low molecular weight polyols; metallic salts to help control odor; nonionic surfactants to improve performance and formulatability, a humectant, etc. The composition is essentially free of any material that would soil or stain fabric. The composition is preferably applied as small particle size droplets, especially from spray containers which preferably are in association with instructions for use, especially when the composition comprises only water and perfume.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 1999Date of Patent: March 11, 2008Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Toan Trinh, John William Smith, Raymond Edward Bolich, Jr., Earl David Brock, Marjorie Mossman Peffly, Helen Bernardo Tordil, Peter Marte Torgerson, Markus Wilhelm Altmann, Bruno Albert Jean Hubesch, Robert Mermelstein, Christian Leo Marie Vermote, Ricky Ah-Man Woo, Anthony James Burns, William Tucker Campbell, Alen David Streutker, Gayle Marie Frankenbach

Publication number: 20030232947Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing an organo-modified silicone by hydrosilation reaction and thereafter treating the hydrosilation reaction product with an aldehyde-scavenging agent. The present invention also relates to compositions comprising said organo-modified silicone. The compositions are designed to be applied to surfaces, especially surfaces susceptible of folding and creasing e.g., fabrics. More particularly the composition is designed to be used as an ironing aid.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2003Publication date: December 18, 2003Applicant: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Arturo Luis Casado-Dominguez, Els Melanie Alfons Goossens, Bruno Albert Jean Hubesch

Patent number: 6652766Abstract: Polymer compositions, while providing suitable wrinkle control, also tend to dispense poorly when sprayed. The present invention shows that when viscosity of polymer compositions is minimized spray dispensing improves. Several approaches to minimizing the viscosity of polymer compositions are disclosed. Methods of controlling wrinkles in fabrics comprise treating fabrics with a variety of polymer compositions following a variety of methods. Articles of manufacture comprise (1) a container or substrate, (2) a wrinkle controlling composition, and (3) a set of instructions.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2002Date of Patent: November 25, 2003Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Gayle Marie Frankenbach, Toan Trinh, Mary Vijayarani Barnabas, Alessandro Corona, III, John Henry Shaw, Jr., John William Smith, Donald Ray Brown, Timothy Roy Nijakowski, Bruno Albert Jean Hubesch, Gabrielle Holly Spangler Detzel, Todd Stephen Alwart, Anne Marie Candido, Stephan Gary Bush, Dimitris Ioannis Collias, Ellis Bailey Gregg, Earl Bray
