  • Patent number: 11147268
    Abstract: The present invention is for sanitizing compositions for sanitizing surfaces which may contact food. The composition may be provided in liquid form, and may include a quaternary amine, one or more surfactant, a fragrance, and water. At least 90% by weight of the fragrance comprises fragrance components that meet Class I qualifications of the Cramer classification system. All other components of the composition (e.g., the quaternary amine, the surfactants, water, and any optional components) meet the EPA guidelines under CFR 180.940(a). Since the composition only includes components that meet the EPA guidelines under CFR 180.940(a) (reflecting a presumption of low toxicity), and at least 90% of the fragrance itself (e.g., in the case of mixtures of fragrance components) meets the Cramer Class I qualifications, the composition is safe for application to surfaces that come in contact with food, where there is a heightened probability that traces of the composition will be ingested.

  • Patent number: 10212916
    Abstract: Animal litter having up to a sixty percent reduction in bulk density can be produced by combining flat-shaped cellulosic materials and sodium bentonite clay. Not only is the resulting litter lighter, but it also maintains a high clump strength as compared to clay-based animal litters that contain greater than ninety percent by weight sodium bentonite clay.

  • Publication number: 20160031632
    Abstract: Pop-up dispensing systems for dispensing substantially dry wipes while minimizing “clumping” and “fallbacks”, or sticking of tacky, adhesive binder loaded wipes within the interior of the container body. The dispensing system includes a container having a container body forming an interior region, and a plurality of stacked substantially dry wipes or other substrates. The wipes may be loaded with an adhesive binder or other material. By selecting and providing particular characteristics relative to the cross-sectional area of the dispensing orifice (e.g., 22 cm2 to 75 cm2) and the separation force profile (e.g., 1 gf/cm2 to 6 gf/cm2), wipes which are loaded with an adhesive, tacky binder material can be dispensed one at a time, while minimizing clumping and fallbacks, and any tendency of the wipes to becoming stuck within the container body.
