Patent number: 7217752Abstract: A stable, aqueous composition containing a substantially crosslinked alkali-swellable acrylate copolymer rheology modifier, a surfactant, an alkaline material, and various compounds therein, as for example substantially insoluble materials requiring suspension or stabilization, such as a silicone, an oily material, or a pearlescent material. Additionally, this invention also relates to the formation of a rheologically and phase stable cationic hair dye composition. The invention further relates to the incorporation of an acidic material after the addition of an alkaline material to reduce the pH of the composition without negatively impacting the viscosity of the composition.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2005Date of Patent: May 15, 2007Assignee: Noveon, Inc.Inventors: Julie F. Schmucker-Castner, Hal Ambuter, Marcia Snyder, Ashley A. Weaver, Sahira Kotian

Publication number: 20060179583Abstract: The present invention provides for a method of dosing treating agents into a washing machine in particular sequences so that only one treating agent is dosed at one time. This avoids interaction of incompatible treating agents as well as provide for better cleaning as now one treating agent can perform without interference from other treating agents typically found in washing machines.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2004Publication date: August 17, 2006Applicant: Reckitt Benckiser Inc.Inventors: Hal Ambuter, James Cavanagh

Patent number: 6083422Abstract: The present invention relates to thickened aqueous bleach compositions containing either an alkali metal hypohalite or peroxygen bleach. Compositions containing hypohalite or peroxygen bleaches are particularly difficult to thicken with sufficient stability for commercial value. The addition of a rheology stabilizer minimizes the loss of stability over time and enables compositions of varying bleach and pH level to be obtained. These compositions comprise an alkali metal hypohalite or peroxygen bleach, a polymeric rheology modifying agent, an effective amount of a rheology stabilizing agent, sufficient alkalinity buffering agent, with the remainder being water.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 1999Date of Patent: July 4, 2000Assignee: The B.F. Goodrich CompanyInventors: Hal Ambuter, Sahira Vijay Kotian

Patent number: 5691292Abstract: A viscoelastic, thixotropic, liquid automatic dishwashing detergent composition which is substantially free of chlorine bleach and silicate and contains enzyme(s), an enzyme stabilizing system, and a detergent surfactant or detergent builder is provided. It has a product pH between about 7 and about 11.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 1995Date of Patent: November 25, 1997Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Janet Layne Marshall, David Lee Hall, Hal Ambuter, Edward Paul Fitch

Patent number: 5510047Abstract: A process for preparing viscoelastic, thixotropic, liquid, polymer-containing detergent compositions which exhibit increased density, enhanced aesthetics and improved rheological efficiency of the polymer is provided. The polymer thixotropic thickening agent is simultaneously added and mixed as a slurry to a premix under moderate to high shear rate to neutralize and disperse the polymer. The product is deaerated to increase density and enhance aesthetics by continued mixing under low to moderate shear rate of the slurry/premix composition. Sequential addition and mixing to the slurry/premix of organic solvent, oil, suds suppressors and solid material can aid in the deaeration step.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 1994Date of Patent: April 23, 1996Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Steven M. Gabriel, Thomas H. Glassco, Hal Ambuter, Edward P. Fitch
