Publication number: 20250052658Abstract: Methods, test kits, and compositions for measuring and detecting surfactant concentration in a composition. The method comprises taking a sample of a composition, placing the sample on a substrate, and evaluating the concentration of surfactant in the composition based on appearance of the sample on the substrate. Various substrates can be used to track the spread, distance traveled, and travel time of the sample on the substrate. A substrate is calibrated for use with a particular composition. A mobile application may be used with the substrate to measure the surfactant concentration.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2024Publication date: February 13, 2025Applicant: ECOLAB USA INC.Inventors: Claire Lucille Notermann, Sukhwan Soontravanich, Jennifer Stokes, Samuel Martin

Patent number: 11958945Abstract: Low concentration surfactant emulsions and methods of making and using the same are disclosed herein. The emulsions have the benefit of employing less surfactant than conventional emulsions. Further, the emulsions are dilutable and retain their stability upon dilution. A benefit of the emulsions is that they leave a low residue, preferably no residue, on a surface after contact.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2019Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: ECOLAB USA INC.Inventors: Altony J. Miralles, Claire Lucille Notermann

Patent number: 11466233Abstract: Method for treating a textile under industrial and institutional fabric care conditions to impart softness within a single wash and/or rinse cycle are disclosed. More particularly, the present invention relates to a combination of a liquid or solid fabric conditioning composition and a softening booster for treating a textile to impart softness within a single wash and/or rinse cycle.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2021Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: Ecolab USA Inc.Inventors: Amanda Ruth Blattner, Charles Allen Hodge, Claire Lucille Notermann, Julio R. Panama, Shaun Patrick Kennedy

Publication number: 20220234081Abstract: Alkaline sprayable aqueous compositions are disclosed. In particular, sprayable alkaline aqueous chlorine compositions including a surfactant system for modifying the viscosity of the composition, are combined with an alkalinity source and a chlorine source. Methods of cleaning having reduced amounts of airborne particulates of the composition during spray applications are also provided according to the invention, namely reduction of airborne particulates having a micron size of 10 or less within a breathing zone of a user of less than or equal to 60 particles/cm3.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2022Publication date: July 28, 2022Inventors: Charles Allen Hodge, Christopher Michael McGuirk, Amanda Ruth Blattner, Claire Lucille Notermann
