Abstract: The invention relates to novel compounds of the formula (I) in which Z, Y, A1, A2, A3, A4, X, R7, R8 and R9 have the meanings mentioned above, and processes and intermediates for the preparation thereof, and their use for controlling animal pests, in particular insects.

Abstract: The invention relates to an improvement in a process for delivering a fabric refreshening active to a fabric. This improvement includes delivering the active to the fabric in a conventional clothes dryer such that the heat and tumbling action provided by the dryer delivers the active to the fabric while damp to thus provide refreshing properties to the fabric. The invention also relates to a product for delivering the active as noted. The active is generally applied to the fabric at a temperature in the range of 125 to 145° F., and comprises hydrogen peroxide. The refreshening active may include a fragrancing agent so that the fabric is fragranced as the refreshening agent is applied. Preferably, the refreshening active is initially placed in a container that is placed in the dryer, wherein the container does not release the agent until a desired temperature is reached.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fragrance composition for control of kitchen malodor, kitchen cleaning and deodorizing products comprising them, and methods for the reduction of malodor utilizing them, the fragrance composition containing at least four of the following components: a. Decyl aldehyde or decanal b. Allyl amyl glycolate c. Cis-3-hexenyl acetate d. Rose oxide e. Terpinolene f.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of perfumery. More particularly, it concerns aldoxane compounds of formula which compounds are capable of protecting an active aldehyde R1CHO, for example, a perfumery or flavor aldehyde, from a chemically aggressive medium into which they have to be added, and then of releasing the active aldehyde at the desired moment. The present invention concerns also the use of such compounds in perfumery or in the flavor industry as well as the compositions or articles associated with these aldoxane compounds.

Abstract: Detergent compositions, essentially free of chlorine bleach compounds, containing a surfactant, builder, enzyme, peroxygen bleach and from about 0.001% to about 5% by weight polyethyleneimine (PEI) or salts thereof are disclosed. These compositions exhibit controlled and improved bleaching action on stains as well as improved storage stability, fabric safety and whitening/brightening characteristics.

Abstract: Detergent compositions, essentially free of peroxygen or chlorine bleach compounds, containing a surfactant, builder, enzyme and from about 0.001% to about 5% by weight polyethyleneimine (PEI) or salts thereof are disclosed. These compositions provide enhanced removal of organic stains, particularly on polyphenolic stains such as morello juice (cherry juice), blueberry juice, red wine, tea and coffee. Improvement was also demonstrated on certain non-polyphenolic stains such as grass.

Abstract: Novel personal product and detergent compositions comprising new and known glycacarbamate, glycaurea compounds or mixtures thereof are disclosed. The personal product compositions exhibit mild cleansing, opacifying/pearlescent and suspending action. The liquid detergent compositions exhibit enhanced viscosity and improved detergency. The powdered detergent compositions exhibit improved flow characteristics and improved detergency. Also, disclosed are novel glycacarbamate and glycaurea compounds which have enhanced water solubility and do not become turbid or produce sedimentation in aqueous compositions as well as an improved method of manufacture.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel detergent and/or personal wash compositions comprising glycosylamide surfactants.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new class of carbohydrate based nonionic surfactant, i.e., alkyl and alkenyl glycasuccinamide, and a process for their manufacture.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new class of carbohydrate based nonionic surfactant, i.e., alkyl and alkenyl glycasuccinamide, and a process for their manufacture.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel hydroxy-containing alkyl glycamide surfactants and detergent composition comprising said surfactants. Since they surprisingly provide low foam, these surfactants can be used as cleansing surfactants in applications where low foaming is desirable.

Abstract: Mixed chain alkyl (alkyl glycosid) uronates as nonionic surfactants are disclosed.

Abstract: Novel compounds useful as sequestrants as well as builders for detergent compositions and methods for their preparation are disclosed.

Abstract: Laundry detergent compositions containing a detergent surfactant, a detergent builder, and from about 0.1% to about 50% by weight ethylene dicysteate or its acid form are disclosed. These compositions provide enhanced removal of organic stains, such as food and beverage stains particularly polyphenolic stains such as wine, blueberry, tea, coffee, morello juice and the like.

Abstract: The present invention relates to sulfated polyhydroxy compounds used as anionic surfactants and to processes for their manufacture.

Abstract: The invention relates to personal product compositions containing heteroatom containing alkyl aldonamide compounds and skin conditioning agent. Unexpectedly, applicants have found that when these heteroatom containing alkyl aldonamides are used, benefits such as enhanced stability and/or enhanced viscosity are obtained relative to the use of other known thickeners or non-heteroatom containing aldonamides.

Abstract: The invention relates to hair care compositions containing heteroatom containing alkyl aldonamide compounds and hair conditioning agents. Unexpectedly, applicants have found that when these heteroatom containing alkyl aldonamides are used, benefits such as enhanced stability and/or enhanced viscosity are obtained relative to the use of other known thickeners or non-heteroatom containing aldonamides.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new class of carbohydrate based nonionic surfactant, i.e., alkyl and alkenyl glycasuccinimide, and a process for their manufacture.

Abstract: The present invention is related to new oral hygiene compositions that have improved foam, viscosity, clarity and good taste due to the inclusion of a new type of alkyl aldonamide compound, specifically heteroatom containing alkyl aldonamide compounds.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new class of carbohydrate based nonionic surfactant, i.e., alkyl and alkenyl glycasuccinimide, and a process for their manufacture.
