  • Patent number: 7405189
    Abstract: A surface treatment composition and method for removing Si and reduced metal salt produced during etching of an aluminum die cast material (“ALDC material”) without generation of nitrogen oxide (NOx) or hydrogen fluoride (HF). In surface treatment of an ALDC material containing Si, Fe, Cu, Mn, Mg, Zn and Ni, the surface treatment composition for removing Si and reduced metal salt from the surface of the ALDC material after etching comprises hydrogen peroxide 300 to 950 g/l, fluorine ion-containing inorganic salt 1 to 300 g/l and balance water. The surface treatment method for removing Si and reduced metal salt from the surface of an ALDC material after etching comprises the step of dipping the ALDC material into the above described surface treatment composition. The aforementioned surface treatment composition effectively removes the Si and reduces metal salt impurities from the surface of the ALDC material without any problems such as NOx or HF gas which is harmful to the human and waste water treatment.

    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to an ion-triggerable, water-disintegratable or water-soluble wet wipe suitable for contacting the skin. More particularly, the present invention relates to an ion-triggerable, water-disintegratable wet wipe that includes an oil-in-water emulsified wetting composition having a high concentration of salt therein, the wetting composition having a low viscosity and being stable in the presence of the high salt concentration therein. Such an emulsified wetting composition enables the wipe to impart an improved feel when the wipe contacts the skin. The present invention further relates to a method of preparing such an ion-triggerable, water-disintegratable wipe using a concentrated form of the salt-stable, oil-in-water emulsified wetting composition.

  • Publication number: 20080103079
    Abstract: The cleaning agent, which is less likely to retain a surfactant on an object to be cleaned and not to restrict applicable objects to be cleaned, contains water from which polyvalent cations are removed and to which a sodium ion is added, and a surfactant. An example of the surfactant is a fatty acid salt. When the cleaning agent is applied to an object to be cleaned, stain adhered on the object is removed from the object by action of the surfactant. The surfactant hardly remains on the object due to the action of the water from which polyvalent cations are removed and to which a sodium ion is added. Accordingly, the cleaning agent can effectively wash a wide variety of objects, such as kitchens, tableware, food, washstands, bathrooms, toilets, vehicles, clothes and body skin, without damaging texture and deteriorating quality.

  • Publication number: 20080058242
    Abstract: The cleaning fluid, which is easily mass-produced, low priced, and safe and is also free from chemical substances contains water from which polyvalent cations are removed and to which sodium ions are added. When the cleaning fluid is applied to an object to be cleaned, stain adhered onto the object can be removed by action of the water. The object washed with the cleaning fluid is free from remnant of chemical substances, as is often not the case when washed with a cleaning fluid using chemical-substances such as a surfactant, and is therefore safe. Furthermore, since water stain or scale hardly remains on the object washed, new stain is not easily attached. Accordingly, the cleaning fluid is particularly effective when it is used as a cleaning fluid for kitchen sinks, tableware, foods, washstands, bathrooms, toilets, vehicles and clothes.
