  • Patent number: 9371506
    Abstract: An aqueous cleaning composition comprising a surfactant, a polyamine, and propylene glycol. The combination of the polyamine and propylene glycol will provide low residue and increased shine during wet and dry wiping and will provide anti-fog properties to a substrate after cleaning. The use of either the polyamine alone or the propylene glycol alone will not provide results meeting all three tests.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4960526
    Abstract: A water-soluble diammonium compound, such as N-methyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-tallowalkyl-N'-methyl-N'-bis(2-hydroxyethyl) -propylene-diammonium methosulfate, is homogeneously and finely dispersed in a spray-dried detergent bead or granule. The spray-dried bead is blended with a clay mineral fabric softener. The final composition exhibits antistatic action even at low levels (e.g. less than 2%) of the antistat without adversely effecting softening, cleaning or whitening. In a typical formulation, the spray-dried beads include linear alkyl benzene sulfonate or other anionic surfactant, an inorganic polyphosphate and/or other inorganic and/or organic detergent builder salt, diammonium compound antistatic agent, and other heat stable and pH insensitive detergent additives and fillers.
