  • Publication number: 20130292044
    Abstract: Wiping products, such as facial tissues, contain an interior temperature change composition and an exterior hydrophilic lotion composition that can provide a cooling sensation when contacted with the skin of a user. The temperature change composition, for instance, can contain one or more phase change agents that undergo a phase change at slightly elevated temperatures. The phase change agents, in one embodiment, can have a relatively high heat of fusion. When undergoing a phase change, the phase change agents absorb heat and thereby provide a cooling feeling to the skin of a user. The hydrophilic lotion composition may contain a carrier and a thermo-reversible gelling agent. The hydrophilic lotion composition maintains the temperature change composition within the tissue and helps to prevent skin irritation.

  • Patent number: 8551517
    Abstract: The present disclosure comprises a polymeric substrate that provides multiple releases of active agents. A substrate for multiple phase delivery of active agents is provided having a first polymer matrix layer having a first active agent disposed therein, a second polymer matrix layer having a second active agent disposed therein, and a coacervate layer disposed between the first polymer matrix layer and the second polymer matrix layer. Selected first and second active agents are included in the first and second polymer matrices such that as the first and second polymer matrices dissolve, the active agents are released. Multiple phase active agent release is achieved by constructing multiple layers of a polymer matrix containing an active agents formed with polymers having different solubility characteristics or with active agents at different concentration levels.

  • Publication number: 20120263780
    Abstract: Delivery compositions and substrates for imparting a volatile active agent to a surface are disclosed herein. To achieve the delivery of the volatile component, a delivery composition of a carbohydrate matrix and a volatile component is incorporated into the carbohydrate matrix to stabilize the volatile for extended periods of time. The delivery composition further comprises a self-generating expelling agent to expel the volatile component onto the contaminated surface or skin upon addition of a triggering agent.

  • Publication number: 20110048182
    Abstract: In a preferred embodiment, a driver socket is configured to provide a visual indicator on a portion of a locknut upon application of a predetermined torque to the driver socket relative to the locknut. The driver socket has a member which is positioned proximate to the first end, with a portion thereof protruding into an aperture of the driver socket. The member is configured to engage a drive configuration of a locknut in order to apply nut torque to the locknut upon rotation of the drive socket and to form a mark on the drive configuration of the locknut in order to provide a visual indicator on the locknut that the locknut has been subjected to the desired torque during initial assembly. The driver socket is preferably attached to a ratchet arm of a fastening tool which provides a mechanical advantage in applying the desired torque.

  • Publication number: 20100152691
    Abstract: A liquid surfactant composition includes at least one anionic surfactant and at least one cationic surfactant. The combination of surfactants is formulated to provide a liquid composition that swells in the presence of water or body fluids, becomes a moldable solid in the presence of an excess of water, and adheres to surfaces. In addition, the liquid surfactant composition may be incorporated into or onto a substrate, such as an absorbent substrate, a fabric or cloth substrate, a tissue substrate, or a protective garment substrate.

  • Publication number: 20100150971
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a personal care composition containing a carrier, an oil phase having at least one terpene alcohol component, an at least partially fluorinated compound, and a stabilizer. In an exemplary aspect, the at least partially fluorinated compound is stable within the composition of the present disclosure with the introduction of an oil phase having at least one terpene alcohol component to stabilize the at least partially fluorinated compound. Thus, the composition provides an initial foaming action and longer term skin benefits provided by an oil phase contacting a terpene alcohol component. A stabilizing component may also be included to provide further stability to the composition.

  • Publication number: 20090324505
    Abstract: A self gassing composition comprising at least one surfactant and a fermentation base including a gas producing organism and at least one sugar is disclosed. Use of a nonionic surfactant in the self gassing composition allows the fermentation base to continue reacting and producing gas. Additionally, a personal care cleansing product and method for storing and delivering an aqueous composition having at least one surfactant and pressurized gas dissolved therein is disclosed. In one aspect, the composition is stored in an internal reservoir in a container such that when a sealing device is removed from a valveless opening, the composition foams and plumes out the opening of the container as the gas dissolved in the composition is released. In addition to the self gassing composition, a pressurized gas may be injected into a surfactant composition to produce the gas pressurized cleaning composition.
