  • Structuring with threads of non-polymeric, crystalline, hydroxyl-containing structuring agents
    Patent number: 9587209
    Abstract: The need for a structurant premix that provides improved structuring of liquid compositions, while exhibiting less performance variation due to process variation or variation in ingredient levels, that is also particularly suitable for low water liquid compositions, is met through the use of an aqueous structuring premix comprising long threads of non-polymeric, crystalline, hydroxyl-containing structuring agent.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 11, 2013
    Date of Patent: March 7, 2017
    Assignee: The Procter & Gamble Company
    Inventors: Niels De Meirleir, Walter August Maria Broeckx, Linda Pellens
  • STRUCTURING PREMIXES COMPRISIING NON-POLYMERIC, CRYSTALLINE, HYDROXYL-CONTAINING STRUCTURING AGENTS AND AN ALKYL SULPHATE, AND COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING THEM
    Publication number: 20150376553
    Abstract: The need for a structuring premix, having lower viscosities, which are more suitable for use in low water liquid compositions, is met by emulsifying a non-polymeric, crystalline, hydroxyl-containing structuring agent using an alkyl sulphate.
    Type: Application

  • Process for making a crystalline structurant comprising a molten hydrogenated castor oil
    Patent number: 8901062
    Abstract: An oil-in-water emulsion comprising droplets of a molten hydrogenated castor oil, the droplets having a mean diameter of between 0.1 ?m and 4 ?m; and an anionic surfactant; and wherein the mean diameter is measured when the emulsion is at a temperature of between 85° C. and 95° C.
