Abstract: This invention relates to compositions containing lower (C1-C4) alcohol and a polymeric fluorosurfactant formulated for being dispensed as a foam product. More particularly, the invention relates to improved compositions formulated with polymeric fluorosurfactants with pendant perfluoroalkyl side chains of a fully fluorinated chain length of C1-C7. The compositions also relate to use for personal care, such as skin sanitizing and cleansing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to associative complexes of water soluble and/or water dispersible polymers and polymeric fluorosurfactants, compositions and methods for modifying substrates to provide treated articles with surface protective properties including easier cleaning, increased stain and/or soil repellency, and increased resistance to bio-fouling and environmental contamination.

Abstract: Hydroscopic polymer gels can be formed by applying a water soluble or water dispersible polymer on a surface and allowing water to be sequestered from the atmosphere into the polymer. The polymer gels provides for easier next time cleaning. In addition, the surfaces of textiles and related materials can be engineered by the formation of polymer gel films thereon. Polymer gels also provide a vehicle by which sites of chemical reactions can be localized.

Abstract: Cleaning compositions which enhance hard surfaces to exhibit excellent water-spreading and oil-repellence and therefore provide a “next time easier cleaning” consumer benefit contain selected polymers. The cleaning compositions include: (a) a water soluble or water dispersible copolymer having: (i) a first monomer having a permanent cationic charge or that is capable of forming a cationic charge on protonation; (ii) a second monomer that is acidic and that is capable of forming an anionic charge in the compositions; (iii) a third monomer having an uncharged hydrophilic group; and (iv) optionally, a fourth monomer that is hydrophobic; (b) optionally, an organic solvent; and (c) optionally, an adjuvant.

Abstract: A stable liquid peracid precursor composition for delivering a bleaching and cleaning material is provided in which the liquid peracid precursor composition combines a dispersion medium which comprises a stabilizing effective amount of a liquid matrix and an emulsifier, and a dispersed phase that comprises a peracid precursor. The bleaching and cleaning material comprises either a hydrophobic or hydrotropic generated mono- or diperoxyacid, or mixtures thereof.
