A method for producing a fatty acid alkyl ester sulfonate metal salt powder is also disclosed, including a step of pulverizing the solid fatty acid alkyl ester sulfonate metal salt in a pulverizer, with the internal temperature of the pulverizer being adjusted to 30° C. to 50° C.

Abstract: A particle having a hueing dye and C8-C20 fatty acid soap.

Abstract: A detergent composition comprising 40 to 80% by weight soap, 2 to 10% by weight Zinc oxide, and balance of other conventional ingredients, wherein at least 25% by weight of said soap is a salt of Lauric acid.

Abstract: A detergent additive extrudate containing from about 0.5% to about 20% an alkyl benzene sulphonate, from about 0.5% to about 15% a water soluble carboxylate-containing polymer, from about 20% to about 80% water soluble inorganic salt and a moisture level of 2% to 10%; process for making the detergent additive extrudate and granular laundry detergent containing the same. The detergent additive extrudates have an improved physical stability, dissolution property and ease of process property.

Abstract: A powder soap composition that contains a powder soap made of a fatty acid alkali metal salt. The fatty acid alkali metal salt of the composition contains an alkali metal salt of a saturated fatty acid having 12 to 16 carbon atoms as a main component. The mean particle size of the powder soap is 50 to 500 ?m, and the water content of the composition is 3 wt % or less.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing a glass substrate for a magnetic recording medium comprising polishing a crystallized glass substrate using abrasive grains, and then washing the substrate using an aqueous organic carboxylic acid solution; a glass substrate for a magnetic recording medium which is manufactured by the process; and a magnetic recording medium obtained using the substrate. A glass substrate for a magnetic recording medium is manufactured, whereby the surface roughness is low and the surface defects are minimal for washing after polishing of a crystallized glass substrate, and wherein the Read-Write performance are not impaired when a recording layer including a magnetic film is formed on the magnetic recording medium substrate for manufacturing a magnetic recording medium.

Abstract: Cleaning formulations, methods, and systems are effective, mild, and non-hazardous. Embodiments of the cleaning formulation comprise a fatty acid, a saponifier, a water conditioner, a solvent, a nonionic surfactant, and an anionic surfactant. Some embodiments also optionally additives. Embodiments are particularly effective for cleaning concrete.

Abstract: The invention relates to a synergistic detergent composition capable of reducing oiliness or greasiness of the skin and also reduce post wash re-accumulation of sebum on the skin. It is particularly preferred to formulate the composition as a wash off product by incorporating a clay belonging to the hormite group of the 2:1 type of clay minerals, and having an inverted ribbon configuration.

Abstract: The invention is a solid chemical concentrate system of at least two cooperative shapes. The first shape is an inwardly curved bar having an inner opening. The second shape is an insert which is capable of interlocking with the bar by insertion into the bar inner opening. The solid chemical concentrate provides chemical systems having active constituents which may be the same, different but compatible or functionally and chemically incompatible combined within one matrix to provide at least one substantially continuous surface. The system may also comprise an aqueous soluble or dispersible polymeric film cover.

Abstract: A soap that contains glacier silt that is harvested in its natural form from areas previously occupied by glaciers. Glacial silt is one of the finest materials known. This silt is as fine or finer than talcum powder. The silt is heated to 400 degrees, sifted for a uniform consistency, and blended into cleaning compositions (soaps) used for human skin. Applied to human skin, the composition acts as mild pumice. Glacier silt is distinctive from other abrasives or pumices because the silt, in its natural form, is made up of very fine particles and is essentially undetectable when being used.

Abstract: A detergent composition is described which is a solid homogeneous, evenly dispersed composition containing anionic and nonionic surfactants, soil suspending agents, chelating or sequestering agents, and alkaline builders. The detergent compositions will contain either active enzymes, an oxygen releasing bleaching agent or both. The active enzymes can be protease, amylase or lipase enzymes. Said composition can be used for laundry washing or hard surface cleaning. Manufacturing procedures and methods of use are described.

Abstract: A personal use soap bar composition containing alkali metal soaps of fatty acids having alkyl chain lengths of C.sub.8 -C.sub.22 which include an unhydrated cationic guar gum polymer as a skin feel and mildness additive. Prior to incorporating the polymer into the soap, it is mixed with an anhydrous polyglycol ether such as PEG-6 methyl ether. This eliminates the need to hydrate the cationic polymers to achieve uniform distribution of the polymer in the bar.

Abstract: The process of producing spray-dried granules useful as detergents, cleaning compositions, or as a component therefor, by preparing a slurry containing 0.2% to 20% by weight of sugar acids or salts thereof and the balance being detergent components, wherein the slurry contains less than 35% by weight of water and has a viscosity of less than 15,000 mPas under spray-drying conditions, and spray-drying the slurry.
