Abstract: A liquid, transparent composition comprising microcapsules with at least one odor modulator compound, the composition also comprising at least one perfume. Even though the composition is in capsules, the transparent liquids can be produced using intense and lasting fragrances in the substrate.

Abstract: A rheology modifier obtainable by polymerizing (i) at least one ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid; (ii) at least one nonionic ethylenically unsaturated surfactant monomer, (iii) at least one C1-C2-alkyl methacrylate, and (iv) at least one C2-C4-alkyl acrylate, where the alkyl chain length averaged over the number of alkyl groups of the alkyl acrylate is 2.1 to 4.0. The polymerization is carried out in the presence of at least one hydrocarbon comprising at least one XH-group, wherein X is selected from the group consisting of O, P, N and S. Liquid formulations and particles containing liquid detergents comprising the rheology modifier are also described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pearly liquid detergent composition comprising a thickener, a pearlescent agent and perfume capsules. The present invention further relates to a method for cleaning textiles using such a pearly liquid detergent composition.

Abstract: The application describes a stable liquid washing or liquid cleaning agent with an acid-treated cellulose or an acid-treated cellulose derivative. The application further relates to methods of use and preparation of such stable liquid washing or liquid cleaning agents and their anti-greying powers.

Abstract: The invention relates to odorant mixtures containing hexyl salicylate and at least one other salicylate, to agents which contain corresponding odorant mixtures, to the use of odorant mixtures containing salicylates and of agents for reducing unpleasant odors, and to a method for manufacturing a detergent or cleaning agent, fabric conditioner, hygienic rinse, or dryer sheet for reducing unpleasant odors.

Abstract: Washing or cleaning agents are described which contain reaction products of odorants with metal oxides, such as for example ZnO, ZrO2, Fe2O3, Fe3O4, Al2O3, TiO2, CeO2 and/or SnO2. The reaction products are preferably produced separately and subsequently added to the washing or cleaning agent matrix. These washing or cleaning agents bring about advantages when fragrancing objects, such as for example textiles. In particular, they make it possible to achieve targeted scent release by remoistening the treated object.

Abstract: The present invention is a laundry article used for both cleaning and conditioning fabrics, which comprises a water-insoluble nonwoven substrate, coated with at least one zone each of a detergent composition and a fabric conditioning composition. The fabric conditioning composition comprises a quaternary ammonium cationic surfactant, an alkoxylated fatty alcohol, and a fatty acid.

Abstract: The invention relates to an antibacterially active detergent, cleaning agent, aftertreatment agent, or washing aid that contains elementary silver and/or a silver compound as an antibacterial component, an aldehyde component, and hydrogen peroxide to stabilize the aldehydes oxidation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to liquid washing, cleaning, post-treating or auxiliary washing agents comprising surfactant, silver and/or a silver compound, along with additional active ingredients typically used in washing, cleaning, post-treating or auxiliary washing agents, whereby the agents are stabilized by the addition of a non-neutralized fatty acid.

Abstract: Electrically conductive copper layers in conductor plates and electrical components having a black metal coating which is acid-soluble and capable of being applied in an acidic medium are more easily prepared and have superior properties. In the process of preparation, such conductor plates provided with a resist and, optionally, with through-contacts, and having free copper areasa) are galvanically coated with a coating of a black metal in an acidic medium;b) the resist is removed and then the copper areas having been exposed thereby are removed by etching;c) the conductor plates are provided with an adhering solder mask;d) at those parts that are not covered by the solder mask the black metal coating is removed and, if desired, the copper areas exposed thereby are provided with a well solderable metal layer.
