  • Patent number: 6617297
    Abstract: Solid automatic dishwasher detergent tablets have a chlorine source to most preferably provide 0.5 to 5 percent available chlorine; and a chlorine stability enhancing effective amount of preferably between about 0.5 to about 10 percent by weight of one or more nonionic surfactants having the following structure: R—(AO1)x(AO2)y—OR′ wherein: R is a C6-C18 alkyl group, AO1 represents propylene oxide or a mixture of propylene oxide and other alkylene oxides, AO2 represents ethylene oxide or a mixture of ethylene oxide and other alkylene oxides, R′ is an alkyl, arylalkyl, or benzalkyl group with 1 to about 10 carbon atoms, x is 2-20, y is 0-20, and the sum of x plus y is 5 or greater. The nonionic surfactant imparts improved chlorine stability to the tablet such that greater than 80 percent of the chlorine in the tablet remains active for eight weeks when the tablet is stored at 120° F.

  • Patent number: 6492317
    Abstract: Hard surface cleaning formulations include an associative thickener and a blend of at least two nonionic surfactants selected from the group consisting of ethoxylated alcohols and ethoxylated fatty acids. The formulations exhibit an advantageously high foam volume of at least about 150 cc when a 100 ml aqueous solution containing about 0.1 wt. % of the formulation is agitated at 2,500 rpm for a cumulative agitation period of about 1200 seconds. The formulations also exhibit satisfactory foam stability sufficient to clean at least about 25 plates (ASTM D4009-92). Preferably, the associative thickener is the reaction product of a C6 or greater epoxide compound with a polyoxyalkylene polyol. The ethoxylated alcohols and ethoxylated fatty acids each most preferably contain C8 to C18 carbon chains which are ethoxylated with between about 3 to about 20 moles of ethylene oxide.

  • Patent number: 6455486
    Abstract: Cleaning formulations and methods are provided by which solid deposition is inhibited on hydrophobic hard surfaces typically encountered in bathroom and outdoor environments without detrimentally affecting the appearance of such surfaces. The formulations most preferably include an aqueous mixture of an organically solvated nonionic copolymer, a polyacrylic acid homopolymer and a nonionic surfactant. Optionally, a hydrotrope may also be present in the formulation. Most preferably, the formulations of this invention have a pH between about 4.0 to about 7.0, most preferably around neutral (i.e., about 7.0).
