Abstract: A method for tanning a hide wherein said method comprises treating a tannable hide with a tanning composition comprising from 25 to 75% by weight (wt. %) of at least one chromium(III) salt; from 5 to 70% by weight (wt. %) of at least one zeolite having the general formula (1): Mx/n [(AlO2)x(SiO2)y] wH2O, wherein M is an alkali metal cation, a bivalent cation, a trivalent cation or a mixture thereof, n is the valence of the cation, w is the number of water molecules per unit cell, y is a number from 0.8 to 50 and the ratio y to x is ranging from 0.7 to 100, treated with at least one acid selected from the group consisting of a monocarboxylic acid and a polycarboxyic acid; and from 1 to 70 wt. % of at least one aluminium(III) salt; wherein all wt. % are relative to the total weight of the composition (T).

Abstract: Improved color protection of detergents and cleansers used for washing or cleaning colored textile fabrics is provided with use of porous polyamide particles in the detergent or cleanser.

Abstract: Aqueous washing and cleaning agents that contain capsules in addition to other constituents, the capsules each encompassing an active ingredient in a matrix. The introduction of a combination of aluminum silicate and silicic acid into the matrix improves the solubility characteristics of the capsules in a washing operation.

Abstract: Complex coacervate core micelles as surface modification or surface treatment The present invention relates to devices carrying on the surface polymeric micelles and a process for the preparation thereof. It further relates to the use of polymeric micelles as a surface coating for rendering a surface anti-fouling and/or protein-resistant. The present invention relates to modified or treated surfaces carrying on polymeric micelles and a process for the preparation thereof. It further relates to the use of polymeric micelles as a surface coating for surface modification or surface treatment. The surface modification or surface treatment is for example for rendering a surface anti-fouling and/or protein-resistant, or for preventing bacteria proliferation, disinfecting, suppressing odours, preventing malodour, providing easy-cleaning or soil-release properties.
