Abstract: Ambient moisture-activatable surface treatment powders containing persalt, positively charged phase transfer agent and alkaline pH buffering may be activatable without the addition of liquid. Some ambient moisture-activatable surface treatment powders are substantially free of bleach activators and/or chlorine. Methods of use of ambient moisture activatable powders include applying them to the surfaces to be treated.

Abstract: A retaining wall system for elevating a retaining wall panel of a portable ice skating rink. The retaining wall system includes a first support member and a second support member spaced apart from the first support member. The retaining wall system includes a flexible sheet extending between the first support member and the second support member. The retaining wall system includes a water impermeable liner supported by the flexible sheet. A support member for elevating a retaining wall panel of a portable ice skating rink. The support member includes a base arrangement configured to engage a mounting surface and a height elevating section extending from the base arrangement. The height elevating section having a first receiving area configured to receive a wall panel. A surface extends between the base arrangement and the height elevating section. The surface has a plurality of mounting areas configured to receive a lateral brace member.

Abstract: Disinfectant compositions are disclosed which provide a durable residual antimicrobial benefit to surfaces treated with such compositions. The disinfectant compositions include a biocidal agent, an amphoteric copolymer, and other functional agents. Methods of making and using the disinfectant compositions are further provided.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method of forming a mold insert for an injection molding operation, comprising: providing a design of an injection mold part; analyzing, by a predictive model, the design to determine a conformal cooling arrangement for a mold insert for forming the injection mold part; and forming the mold insert including the conformal cooling arrangement.

Abstract: Generation of foam when spraying biofilm-detection compositions onto a surface may entrain air and create bubbles, which lead to false positives. Aqueous biofilm-detecting compositions containing low-foaming surfactants, radical scavenger, solvent, thickener, hydrogen peroxide, chelating and coupling agent may be sprayed onto a surface to test for the presence of biofilm without generating excess bubbles or foam.

Abstract: Improved highly aqueous, alkaline hard surface cleaning compositions useful in the cleaning of hard surfaces, particularly hard surfaces bearing greasy stains or soils. Preferred compositions comprise amine oxide as the sole surfactant constituent, an alkalinity constituent, preferably an alkanolamine and as the sole organic solvent constituent, an alkylene glycol phenyl ether, and water, optionally further including a dye and/or fragrance composition. The compositions provide excellent cleaning of greasy soils on hard surfaces.

Abstract: Improved treatment blocks useful in the treatment of lavatory appliances, particularly toilets are provided. The improved treatment blocks are solid block compositions which provide an extended service life, particularly when used in an ITB device. Methods of producing the solid block composition and treatment blocks therefrom, as well as methods of use are also disclosed.
