Abstract: A cleansing system comprises a synthetic detergent bar and a pouf/sponge for holding the bar. By using pouf, it has been found that lather can be enhanced, even in compositions comprising lather depressing emollients. The system also helps decrease perception of mush. A preferred emollient of the invention comprises emollient/oil.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cleansing system comprising a synthetic detergent bar and a pouf/sponge for holding the bar. By inserting bar inside the pouf, it has been found that lather can be enhanced, even in compositions comprising lather depressing emollients. The bar holder and bar system also help decrease perception of mush.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the continuous production of a multi-layer web comprising an exterior covering and a nonwoven material disposed underneath. According to the present invention, a nonwoven material which has been prebonded is used as the starting product, and the steps of additional bonding, calibrating, and smoothing of the nonwoven material and of laminating the nonwoven material and the exterior covering are combined in a single process. The present invention, in addition to achieving a cost advantage, also produces a covering material that provides better sitting conditions, equivalent to the foam backed covering materials with respect to physical textile values yet being easier to recycle and. In addition, recycled textile products can be worked into the covering material of the present invention as reprocessed fibers without losing any advantage.

Abstract: Metal-free phthalocyanine of the .gamma.-form is suitable inter alia for coloring printing inks, plastics and coatings and is characterized by the X-ray powder diagram (Cu.sub.K.alpha.) having the essential glancing angles 2 theta [.degree.]6.8, 7.4, 13.6, 14.9, 15.9, 16.9, 20.5, 22.4, 24.7, 26.2 and 27.8, possibly in mixture with other crystal forms, in which case the glancing angles may be shifted by .+-.0.2.degree. (FIG. 1).

Abstract: Films, sheets or foils are given a gas-barrier coating of an aromatic polyamide, polyimide, polyamide-imide, polyhydrazide, polyamide-hydrazide, or polyazomethine by direct vapor-phase condensation polymerization of their respective monomers. The monomers are introduced in an inert diluent gas, mixed and reacted in the presence of the surface to be coated. The surface is maintained above the critical minimum deposition temperature of the monomers but below about 300.degree. C. The coating is formed to a thickness between about 0.1 and 0.6 mil.
