Abstract: A coated fiber for polymer reinforcement is disclosed. The coated fiber comprises a fiber and a coating disposed about said fiber. The fiber has a denier of from about 250 to about 3,000. The coating comprises a branched polyethylene imine. The fiber is present in the coated fiber in an amount of from about 80 to about 99.8 percent by weight and the coating is present in the coated fiber in an amount of from about 0.2 to about 20 percent by weight, with percent by weight based on the total weight of the coated fiber. A method of producing the coated fiber is also disclosed.

Abstract: Hard surface cleaning formulations include an associative thickener and a blend of at least two nonionic surfactants selected from the group consisting of ethoxylated alcohols and ethoxylated fatty acids. The formulations exhibit an advantageously high foam volume of at least about 150 cc when a 100 ml aqueous solution containing about 0.1 wt. % of the formulation is agitated at 2,500 rpm for a cumulative agitation period of about 1200 seconds. The formulations also exhibit satisfactory foam stability sufficient to clean at least about 25 plates (ASTM D4009-92). Preferably, the associative thickener is the reaction product of a C6 or greater epoxide compound with a polyoxyalkylene polyol. The ethoxylated alcohols and ethoxylated fatty acids each most preferably contain C8 to C18 carbon chains which are ethoxylated with between about 3 to about 20 moles of ethylene oxide.

Abstract: Cleaning formulations and methods are provided by which solid deposition is inhibited on hydrophobic hard surfaces typically encountered in bathroom and outdoor environments without detrimentally affecting the appearance of such surfaces. The formulations most preferably include an aqueous mixture of an organically solvated nonionic copolymer, a polyacrylic acid homopolymer and a nonionic surfactant. Optionally, a hydrotrope may also be present in the formulation. Most preferably, the formulations of this invention have a pH between about 4.0 to about 7.0, most preferably around neutral (i.e., about 7.0).

Abstract: The present invention relates to an aqueous based, solvent free degreaser composition, comprising a blend of two nonionic surfactants selected from, alcohol alkoxylate with a fatty alcohol moiety alkoxlyate, fatty alkoxlyated alcohol, fatty alcohol having oxyethylate moieties, polyoxyalkylene block copolymers, and alkyl phenol alkoxylate.

Abstract: There is provided an aqueous hard surface cleaning composition comprising a) a water soluble organic solvent; b) a nonionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of an alcohol alkoxylate, an alcohol block alkoxylate, a polyxyethylene polyoxypropylene block surfactant, and mixtures thereof; and c) an effective amount up to about 5% by weight of a cleaning auxiliary selected from the group consisting of methylglycine diacetic acid, hydroxyethyl ethylenediamine triacetic acid, diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid, ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, nitilotriacetic acid, salts thereof, and mixtures thereof; and d) optionally, a thickening agent. The compositions are useful for cleaning hard surfaces with a minimum of wiping and scrubbing.
