Publication number: 20140053508Abstract: The invention relates to aerated soap bars. Generally, it is difficult to get aerated soap bars with the right level of aeration, because high viscosity of the molten soap mass sometimes makes it difficult to aerate it to the desired extent. The size and movement of air bubbles also play important roles. Bars with larger air bubbles have lower mechanical strength. We have determined that use of acrylates or cellulose ethers in aerated soap bars lead to bars with acceptable rate of wear, mush and lower density. The soaps also have a higher and more uniform air incorporation and better air retention. Disclosed are aerated soap bars having density from 0.2 to 0.99 g/cm3, comprising: (i) 20 to 80 wt % soap; (ii) 2 to 40 wt % polyol; (iii) 5 to 50% water; and, (iv) 0.5 to 5 wt % electrolyte; wherein the bars comprise 0.1 to 5 wt % polymer selected from acrylates or cellulose ethers.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2012Publication date: February 27, 2014Inventors: Ankur Chourey, Camile Florido, Sergio Roberto Leopoldino, Edirlei Roberto Magon, André Messias Krell Pedro, Anal Pushkarna, Angelica Marques Rodrigues

In some embodiments, the MGDA and water combines and can solidify to act as a binder material or binding agent dispersed throughout a solid composition that may contain other functional ingredients that provide the desired properties and/or functionality to the solid composition.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2011Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: Ecolab USA Inc.Inventors: Roger L. Stolte, Ross M. Skadsberg, Scott P. Lyon

Publication number: 20120149628Abstract: A solidification matrix includes a polycarboxylic acid polymer, sodium carbonate, and water. Exemplary polycarboxylic acid polymers include a polyacrylic acid polymer having a molecular weight of between about 1,000 and about 100,000, a modified polyacrylic acid polymer having a molecular weight of between about 1,000 and about 100,000, and a polymaleic acid polymer having a molecular weight of between about 500 and about 5,000. The polycarboxylic acid polymer, sodium carbonate, and water interact to form a hydrate solid. The solidification matrix may be used, for example, in a solid detergent composition.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2012Publication date: June 14, 2012Applicant: ECOLAB USA INC.Inventors: Brenda L.
