Abstract: A disinfecting shower cleaner composition including a medium-chain fatty acid coupled with a nonionic surfactant providing temperature stable antimicrobial compositions. The invention specifically relates to antimicrobial compositions including fatty acid antimicrobial agents coupled with an ethoxylated amine and methods of using the antimicrobial compositions.

Abstract: A solvent or composition that includes a glycerin short-chain aliphatic ether may be used in a method for coupling, coalescing or adjusting viscosity of a composition.

Abstract: A concentrate cleaning composition includes water, glycerine, and at least one alkyl polyglycoside. The water may be present in an amount of greater than about 65% by weight. Glycerine may be present in an amount between about 0.05% and about 8% by weight of the cleaning composition. The at least one alkyl polyglycoside may be present in an amount of between about 1% and about 25% by weight of the cleaning composition.

Abstract: A cleaning composition including an acid component is provided, along with methods for using the composition to remove soil from hard surfaces. The concentrate cleaning composition includes between about 1 and about 70 wt % of methane sulfonic acid, about 0.1 to about 15 wt % of a surfactant component, up to about 90% of a solvent and other adjuvants.

Abstract: A cleaning composition includes a fatty acid salt constituting up to about 50% by weight of the composition, an anti-slip agent constituting up to about 20% by weight of the composition, a soil resistant agent constituting up to about 20% by weight of the composition and water. Methods of cleaning coated and uncoated surfaces, and particularly stone surfaces, are also provided.

Abstract: Ultrafine zinc oxide can initiate hardening of polyurethane coatings and decrease the coating tack-free time. The decreased tack-free times facilitate earlier application of additional polyurethane layers and earlier return of a coated article to service, and can provide improved floor finishes.

Abstract: A fitment is provided that includes a body, a cap and a membrane. The body has a first end and a second end. The body further has a body passage that extends between the first end and the second end. The cap has a first end and a second end. The cap has a cap bore that extends in the first end of the cap. The cap is configured to selectively plug the body passage proximate the second end of the body. The membrane is in the second end of the cap. The membrane is configured to allow two-way venting through the body passage of the body when the cap is plugging the body passage.
