  • Publication number: 20230392100
    Abstract: A cleaning wipe having a nonwoven substrate impregnated with a dispersal composition including at least one of a polar solvent and a water-in-oil emulsion is disclosed. The dispersal composition provides an enhancement to the dispersion of the nonwoven substrate including a binder when placed within a waste water stream after use, thereby more effectively disposing of the wipe after use.

  • Publication number: 20220380703
    Abstract: A cleaning composition including a preservative formulation having a glycine, a diol and a phospholipid complex is disclosed. The cleaning composition can be loaded on a cleaning wipe and used for personal care. The glycine and diol provide a preservative booster to the preservative system for the cleaning composition containing a phospholipid complex, such as cocamidopropyl PG-dimonium chloride phosphate, which has some limited independent preservation activity, depending on the level in the final formulation.

  • Patent number: 11130933
    Abstract: A cleaning composition including a preservative formulation having hydroxy acetophenone and a phospholipid complex is disclosed. The cleaning composition can be loaded on a cleaning wipe and used for personal care. The hydroxyacetophenone provides a preservative booster to the preservative system for the cleaning composition containing a phospholipid complex, such as cocamidopropyl PG-dimonium chloride phosphate, which has some limited independent preservation activity, depending on the level in the final formulation.

  • Patent number: 6610314
    Abstract: Antimicrobial formulations, which may be essentially free of an antimicrobial active, comprising one or more proton donating agents and an alkyl phosphate anionic surfactant comprising a mono alkyl phosphate having the chemical structure: wherein R1 is a saturated or unsaturated straight chain or branched alkyl group having from about 8 to about 22 carbon atoms, x is a number from 0 to about 20, and R2 and R3 are independently selected from hydrogen, an alkali metal, or an alkanol amine, are provided and described herein. The formulations may be incorporated into wet wipes or various other personal care items such as facial tissue, bathroom tissue or feminine care products, or may be incorporated into lotions or soaps which may be applied directly to the skin. The antimicrobial formulations of the present invention have been found to have surprisingly high activity against numerous bacteria and other microorganisms.
