Abstract: Fluid reservoirs which are based on polymer substrates and are capable of storing large amounts of fluids. The storage is reliable and the reemergence from the liquid reservoir is readily controllable, for example, via the temperature or via mechanical actions, to achieve retardation of the fluid release. Also, processes for producing such fluid reservoirs and also their use, for example in washing or cleaning compositions.

Abstract: Agglomerating carrier materials in the presence of a granulation liquid with a carbohydrate content and subsequent incorporation of a liquid, such as a perfume oil, yields fluid-containing particles that, even at an elevated liquid loading, exhibit very good powder properties and reliably retain the incorporated liquid even in aggressive solid matrices. These fluid-containing particles may be used, for example, for fragrancing purposes.

Abstract: Particles which comprise a specified inorganic carrier material, perfume and nonionic surfactant(s) in quantities of at least 0.1% by weight, a method for producing the particles, a detergent composition comprising the particles, and a method for washing textiles with the aid of the detergent composition.

Abstract: A method to obtain particles which can absorb large quantities of perfume. The resulting particles are mechanically stable, flow freely, and have no tendency to stick together even when being charged with a great quantity of perfume. The perfume can be stabilized in the particles in such a way that the contained fragrances essentially do not decompose. Also disclosed are the aftertreatment of such particles as well as a detergent composition containing the inventive particles.

Abstract: A particle containing a carbonate, a sulfate, a perfume, and a layered silicate, the particle having a weight ratio of layered silicate to carbonate and sulfate combined of ?1:2. The particles, having a desirable fragrance profile, are useful in detergents, fabric softeners, and textile treatments.

Abstract: Storage-stable homogeneous granules with detersive properties, which are obtained by agglomeration of one or more solids with one or more granulation liquids in a free-fall mixer divided into a mixing zone and a post-mixing zone and comprising a knock-down bar fixed to an end plate from which it crosses the entire mixing zone and optionally extends into the post-mixing zone and are optionally aftertreated, may be produced by in situ neutralization of anionic surfactant acids. The products thus produced show distinct performance advantages, the process also having cost-efficient aspects.

Abstract: A storable, substantially water-free flowable surfactant mixture containing 40% by weight to 70% by weight of a nonionic surfactant of the formula R.sup.1 --(OC.sub.2 H.sub.4).sub.n --OH wherein R.sup.1 is an alkyl or alkenyl group containing 10 to 20 carbon atoms and an average degree of ethoxylation n of from 1 to 8; 20% by weight to 50% by weight of a nonionic surfactant, liquid at room temperature, of the formula: R.sup.2 --(OC.sub.2 H.sub.4).sub.r --(OC.sub.3 H.sub.6).sub.p --OH wherein R.sup.2 is an alkyl or alkenyl group containing 10 to 20 carbon atoms, an average degree of ethoxylation r of from 2 to 8 and an average degree of propoxylation p of from 1 to 6; and 1% by weight to 10% by weight of a C.sub.10 to C.sub.22 carboxylic acid and/or alkali metal salts thereof. The flowable surfactant mixture provides a base for forming a pseudo-plastic detergent formulation.

Abstract: The development of sludge in phosphating baths is prevented by continuously diverting a partial volume of the baths into a separate device comprising three open chambers: an oxidation chamber where the solution is treated with an O.sub.2 -containing gas to oxidize the iron (II) of the solution of iron (III), which precipitates as phosphate; a conditioning chamber in which the iron (iii) phosphate precipitate formed in the oxidation chamber is agglomerated into a readily sedimented form; and a sedimentation chamber in which the sediment formed in the conditioning chamber is separated from the remaining liquid phosphating solution. This solution is then replenished with phosphate layer-forming components, and the replenished solution is subsequently recycled to the phosphating bath.
