Patent number: 9120999Abstract: The invention relates to compositions including a hypohalite or hypochlorous acid and a soluble salt of 2,4,6 mesitylene sulfonate. The compositions may include a surfactant, a buffer, or combinations thereof. Other adjuvants may also be present. Such compositions do not require the inclusion of high concentrations of sodium hydroxide or other soluble hydroxide salts to drastically increase pH (and thus stability), although such hydroxides may be present if desired.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2013Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignee: The Clorox CompanyInventors: David R. Scheuing, Arun Agarwal, David E. Dabney, Gregory P. Dado, Lafayette D. Foland, Shuman Mitra, Jacqueline M. Pytel, William L. Smith, Erika Szekeres, Michael R. Terry, Kenneth L. Vieira

Publication number: 20090148342Abstract: This invention generally relates to compositions and method of producing diluted hypohalous acid and hypohalous acid vapor. These compositions can be used to treat allergen containing surfaces, hard surfaces, food contact surfaces, hospital surfaces, food surfaces, kitchen surfaces, bathroom surfaces, human surfaces, animal surfaces, children's items, outdoor surfaces, soft surfaces, and medical instruments. These compositions can be converted to solid particulate or granular compositions. These compositions can be put into a variety of containers which preserve the stability. These compositions can be used to treat allergens and molds and as part of a mold detection system. These compositions can be dispersed into the air to enable microbiological control.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2007Publication date: June 11, 2009Inventors: Steven E. Bromberg, Bruce K.

Publication number: 20080202556Abstract: A pump dispenser has a large ergonomic actuator designed to ergonomically deliver a composition to a substrate in the consumer's hand without the consumer having to pick up the pump dispenser. The ergonomic design allows the composition to be delivered in a proper aspect ratio to the substrate. The composition can be delivered in such a way that the composition is not aerosolized into the air or delivered to an unintended surface. The method of delivery can be made intuitive to the consumer by providing an actuator skirt that suggests the pumping mechanism or by providing a depiction of a hand or substrate over the pump dispenser. The pump dispenser is also useful for compositions or substrates that are not stable together.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2006Publication date: August 28, 2008Inventors: Nicholas L. Pivonka, Lafayette D. Foland, Daniel Aaron Huitt, Laura Itzkowitz, Tami O'Connell, Ricardo Ruiz de Gopegui, Jodi Lynn Russell, Agnete Enga, John Kiechel, Nasahn Sheppard

Publication number: 20080115302Abstract: A cleaning tool with a handle having a manual release device actuator and a removable cleaning head having a cleaning substrate can be used to effectively clean surfaces. The cleaning substrate can have a fitment for attachment to the handle. The cleaning substrate can be impregnated with a cleaning composition having a solid inorganic acid, such as sulfamic acid. The cleaning substrate can be water-soluble or water-dispersible. Examples of suitable cleaning tools include a hard surface floor mop, a carpet mop, an auto cleaning device, a toilet cleaning device, a bathroom cleaning device, and a shower cleaning device.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2007Publication date: May 22, 2008Inventors: Andrew Kilkenny, Douglas J.

Patent number: 6235218Abstract: A process is provided for the preparation of a compound having the structure of Formula I The process includes reacting a heterocyclic amine with a monoaldehyde or a dialdehyde in a pH range of from about 8 to 14 and then quaternizing the so-reacted heterocyclic amine with an alkylating agent at a pH of not less than about 2. The use of pH control substantially prevents formation of an undesirable protonated reaction intermediate.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 1999Date of Patent: May 22, 2001Assignee: The Clorox CompanyInventors: Ulrich Annen, James E.

Patent number: 5959104Abstract: Bleaching compositions are provided that comprise a nitrile containing compound that has the nitrile bonded to a quaternary nitrogen through a methylene unit (where one or both of the normal hydrogens can be substituted), and two of the quaternary nitrogen bonds are part of a saturated ring. This saturated ring contains from two to eight atoms in addition to the quaternary nitrogen. A source of active oxygen will react with the nitrile for bleaching applications. Particularly preferred nitrile containing compounds are N-alkyl morpholinium acetonitrile salts.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 1998Date of Patent: September 28, 1999Assignee: The Clorox CompanyInventors: James W.
