  • Triazines
    Publication number: 20050282984
    Abstract: A water-soluble, triazine-based, non-dye, cellulose cross-linking agent that has a highly flexible linking group between at least two, mono-reactive cross-linking moieties and further hydrophilic or non-hydrophilic substituents.
    Type: Application
    Filed: June 22, 2005
    Publication date: December 22, 2005

  • Fabric treatment
    Publication number: 20050282726
    Abstract: Excellent cross-linking benefits, to improve wrinkle recovery can be obtained in laundry treatment by use of a triazine-based, cellulose cross-linking agent that has a highly flexible linking group between at least two, mono-reactive cross-linking moieties and cellulose unreactive substituent groups. The linking group acts as a ‘spring’ whereas the two end groups bind chemically to cotton fibres.

  • Detergent bleaching composition comprising pentadentate ligand derivatives
    Patent number: 6165963
    Abstract: A detergent bleaching composition is provided comprising a compound inclug a specified pentadentate nitrogen-containing ligand. The compound can activate hydrogen peroxide or peroxyacids and provides favourable stain removal properties, particularly in the presence or iron, manganese or copper ions. In addition, an improved stability in alkaline aqueous environment has been obtained, in particular at the peroxy compound concentrations generally present in the fabric washing liquor.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 3, 1999
    Date of Patent: December 26, 2000
    Assignee: Unilever Home & Personal Care USA, division of Conopco, Inc.

  • Bleach and oxidation catalyst
    Patent number: 6140294
    Abstract: A bleach and oxidation catalyst is provided comprising a catalytically ace iron, manganese or copper complex including a specified pentadentate nitrogen-containing ligand. The metal complex can activate hydrogen peroxide or peroxyacids and provides favourable stain removal properties. In addition, a considerably improved stability of these metal complex compounds in alkaline aqueous environment has been obtained, in particular at the peroxy compound concentrations generally present in the fabric washing liquor.
