  • Polycarboxylic acids and esters in detergent formulations and their use
    Patent number: 4271032
    Abstract: This invention concerns the use of certain polycarboxylic acids and their esters as biodegradable detergents and detergent builders in the laundering of soiled fabrics.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 5, 1979
    Date of Patent: June 2, 1981
    Assignee: Texaco Inc.
    Inventors: Jack H. Kolaian, Richard F. Love
  • Detergents containing a fatty alcohol builder and a water-insoluble inorganic absorbent
    Patent number: 4125475
    Abstract: This invention concerns the use of certain biogradable detergents containing as their sole active surfactant component linear, paraffinic alcohols containing 6 to 18 carbon atoms. These fatty alcohols have good laundering activity particularly to launder soiled cotton. These alcohols can be formulated in an aqueous solution containing only builders or optionally they can be formulated as multicomponent solid detergents in the form of a homogeneous, free-flowing powder. Using standard laundering tests these materials function well as detergents at low concentration levels, exhibit comparable or superior surfactant activity to sulfonated alkylated benzenes in the removal of soil from cotton or other cellulosics.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 23, 1977
    Date of Patent: November 14, 1978
    Assignee: Texaco Inc.
    Inventors: Jack H. Kolaian, Frederic C. McCoy, John A. Patterson
  • Method of preparing secondary alkylammonium 3-secondary alkylaminoalkanoates
    Patent number: 4082792
    Abstract: Secondary alkylammonium 3-secondary alkylaminoalkanoates are prepared by reacting a secondary alkyl primary amine and an alkenoic acid in the presence of a primary or secondary alcohol.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 12, 1976
    Date of Patent: April 4, 1978
