  • Patent number: 10792229
    Abstract: Apertured fibrous structures and more particularly apertured fibrous structures containing one or more fibrous elements, for example filaments, containing one or more fibrous element-forming materials and one or more active agents that are releasable from the fibrous element when exposed to conditions of intended use, and methods for making same.

  • Patent number: 10301575
    Abstract: A consumer product composition comprises a non-porous dissolvable solid structure comprising from about 30% to about 95%, by weight of the consumer product composition, of a carrier material, and from about 5% to about 50%, by weight of the consumer product composition, of a hydrophobic conditioning agent disposed within the carrier material of the non-porous dissolvable solid structure. The carrier material comprises a polyethylene glycol material, or mixtures thereof, having a molecular weight of from about 200 to about 50,000. The hydrophobic conditioning agent is selected from the group consisting of silicone materials, organic conditioning oils, hydrocarbon oils, fatty esters, metathesized unsaturated polyol esters, silane-modified oils, and mixtures thereof.

  • Publication number: 20170095132
    Abstract: A cleaning pad for absorbing liquids from a hard, target surface. The cleaning pad has a hydrophobic floor sheet, and a core joined to the floor sheet. The core has absorbent gelling material therein with a gradient distribution, so that the pad has a particular minimum absorbency as used with water or with common amine oxide cleaning solution. A hydrophilic smoothing strip is joined to the outwardly facing surface of said floor sheet. The cleaning pad provides both good absorbency and a coefficient of friction falling within a specified range judged advantageous for cleaning. The absorbency and coefficient of friction work well with both water and an amine oxide cleaning solution.

  • Publication number: 20160304819
    Abstract: A process of making a consumer product composition comprising a non-porous dissolvable solid structure comprises the steps of: providing a carrier material having a melting point of greater than 25° C.; heating the carrier material to a temperature greater than the melting point of the carrier material to form liquefied carrier material; mixing a hydrophobic conditioning agent with the liquefied carrier material to form a melt composition; and cooling the melt composition to a temperature below the melting point of the carrier material to form the non-porous dissolvable solid structure of the consumer product composition. The carrier material and hydrophobic conditioning agent are selected to provide a Modified Capillary Number of less than about 10 with respect to the melt composition of the process.

  • Publication number: 20160304811
    Abstract: A consumer product composition comprises a non-porous dissolvable solid structure comprising a carrier material having a viscosity at 70° C., and a hydrophobic conditioning agent having a viscosity at 70° C. The hydrophobic conditioning agent is disposed within the carrier material of the non-porous dissolvable solid structure. A ratio of the viscosity of the hydrophobic conditioning agent at 70° C. to the viscosity of the carrier material at 70° C. is from about 1000:1 to about 1:1000.

  • Publication number: 20120139540
    Abstract: A non-destructive method of visualizing penetration of a soil and/or fabric conditioning component in a fabric using imaging techniques. The method may be used to determine qualitatively and/or quantitatively the penetration of soil and/or fabric conditioning component into the fabric. By comparing images before and after fabric treatment processes, the efficacy of a fabric treatment processes can be assessed.
