Publication number: 20240026247Abstract: A solid block detergent composition is described which can be dispensed with a water spray to form an aqueous detergent for cutting and removing grease, removing and suspending soils and rinsing easily leaving cleaned ware. The solid block detergent contains a neutralized sulfonated anionic surfactant in combination with various processing aids to optimize soil removal in a formulation that can be pressed for form a solid.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Wendy Lo, Erik C. Olson, Thomas Muller, Jeffrey John Biggs, Angela Sivanich, Katherine Molinaro, Kelsey West, Matthew Paul Molinaro

Patent number: 10421933Abstract: The invention includes a solid rinse aid that is particularly designed for pressed or extrusion solid formation and which is effective for spotless surfaces after rinsing, especially rinsing metals without corrosion. According to the invention, a solid acid is combined with a short-chain alkylbenzene and alkyl naphthalene sulfonate. The short-chain alkylbenzene and alkyl naphthalene sulfonate act as a solidification agent as well as a hydrotrope, and total dissolved solid (TDS) active and are combined with at least one nonionic low foaming surfactant.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2016Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: Ecolab USA Inc.Inventors: Xin Sun, Derrick Anderson, Kelsey West, Janel Marie Kieffer, Victor Fuk-Pong Man, Melissa Hunter
