Abstract: A non-Newtonian concentrate composition includes a sensitizer or irritant, a surfactant, an anti-mist component and optionally a stability component. Example sensitizers and irritants include, but are not limited to, acids, quaternary compounds, and amines, and example anti-mist components include, but are not limited to, polyethylene oxide and polyacrylamide.

Abstract: The antimicrobial composition of the present invention comprises a cationic active ingredient, a quaternized sugar-derived surfactant, and an optional foam boosting surfactant. The present antimicrobial compositions are free of the antimicrobial agent triclosan (i.e., 2,4,4?-trichloro-2?hydroxy-diphenylether), have a high cidal activity in a short amount of time, provide stable copious foam and exhibit enhanced tissue (e.g. skin) compatibility as defined by an in vitro whole toxicology assessment method.

Abstract: A novel approach to the method of removing and preventing redeposition of protein soils on surfaces using sugar esters is disclosed. Protein deposition and streaking and spotting are common on machine washed dishes. Applicants have found a new method of recycling a sump water composition in an automatic dish machine from a first cleaning cycle into subsequent cleaning cycles using a protein-removing/anti-redeposition agent that can remove and prevent redeposition of protein soils on ware washed surfaces.

Abstract: A method of removing food soil using a cleaning composition including a C12 phosphate functionalized alkyl polyglucoside, a water conditioning agent and water. In one embodiment, the cleaning composition is substantially free of alkyl phenol ethoxylates. The cleaning composition is capable of removing soils including up to 20% proteins.

Abstract: The antimicrobial composition of the present invention comprises a cationic active ingredient, a quaternized sugar-derived surfactant, and an optional foam boosting surfactant. These formulations have a high cidal activity in a short amount of time and provide stable copious foam. The formulations of the present invention also exhibit enhanced tissue (e.g. skin) compatibility as defined by an in vitro whole toxicology assessment method.

Abstract: A concentrate cleaning composition includes water, glycerine, and at least one alkyl polyglycoside. The water may be present in an amount of greater than about 65% by weight. Glycerine may be present in an amount between about 0.05% and about 8% by weight of the cleaning composition. The at least one alkyl polyglycoside may be present in an amount of between about 1% and about 25% by weight of the cleaning composition.

Abstract: A cleaning composition including an ionic liquid, and preferably no co-surfactants are provided. The compositions are substantially free of alkyl phenol ethoxylates, including nonyl phenol ethoxylates. The cleaning compositions provide superior cleaning efficacy for various soils, including proteins and food soils, providing an effective, biorenewable, environmentally friendly alternative to nonyl phenol ethoxylates.

Abstract: A solid composition for cleaning or fragrancing includes at least one ethoxylated alcohol, at least one C12-C24 saturated fatty acid sodium salt, water, at least one glycol, and at least one water insoluble component. The solid composition can have a weight ratio of water to glycol to C12-C24 saturated fatty acid sodium salt between about 2:2.5:1 and about 3:4:1.

Abstract: A solid detergent composition includes an ethoxylated and propoxylated surfactant, an alkalinity source, a solidification agent and a chelating agent. The ethoxylated and propoxylated surfactant can include a surfactant blend of naturally sourced ethoxylated and propoxylated surfactants.

Abstract: A degreasing composition is disclosed comprising an alkyl polyglucoside; and a nonionic surfactant having a carbon chain of C6 or less. The nonionic surfactant comprises linear C6 alcohol ethoxylate. In an embodiment the linear C6 alcohol ethoxylate comprises from about 3 to about 6 moles of ethylene oxide.
