Abstract:

A glass cleaning composition is disclosed for removing soils and dirt from glass surfaces without leaving a visible streak. The cleaning composition contains an ethylene glycol ether, an N-alkyl pyrrolidone, a surfactant, and water. Optionally the composition can also include a co-solvent, a pH adjusting agent, a dye, a fragrance, and other ingredients that enhances the performance and elegance of the composition. The composition make use of a synergetic effect of combining the ethylene glycol ether, N-alkyl pyrrolidone and surfactant to improve the soil removal performance of the composition while remaining substantially streak-free.

Assignee:

The Drackett Company - Cincinnati OH

International Classification:

C09G 108

US Classification:

106 10

Abstract:

A furniture polish composition characterized by an internal aqueous phase and an external oil phase, the composition containing an ethoxylated montan acid wax in an amount of from 0. 5 to 5% by weight, which constituent functions both as an emulsifier and as the wax. Also included in the composition is from 10 to 50% hydrocarbon solvent; from 0 to 15% polysiloxane, and water. A coemulsifier may be included at low levels, less than 0. 5% by weight, the weight ratio of the ester to the emulsifier being greater than 1:1.

International Classification:

A61L 901
A61K 746
B01J 1300

US Classification:

424 764

Abstract:

An aqueous-based gel air-treating composition comprising a gel base including a gel-forming agent and a gaseous component in an amount effective to provide a bulk density of said composition of from about 0. 5 to about 0. 9 g/cc, the gaseous component being present in within the composition as substantially homogeneously dispersed bubbles having a diameter of less than about 3000 microns, the composition being obtained by preparing said gel base, introducing the gaseous component into said gel base with sufficient mixing energy to obtain a foamed gel, and allowing the foamed gel to cool below its glass transition temperature.

International Classification:

B08B 308
B08B 900

US Classification:

134 2213

Abstract:

Methods of substantially removing a restriction from a drain pipe system include the steps of introducing a cleaning composition containing a non-caustic drain opening active to the pipe system, activating the cleaning composition by adding a sufficient amount of liquid to the drain pipe system while maintaining a flow-through state through the pipe system, allowing the drain opening active to remain in contact with the restriction for a sufficient time to substantially degrade the restriction, and rinsing the drain opening active from the pipe system. The water flow rate through the pipe system is improved by at least 0. 7 liters/minute after 16 hours of the drain opening active contacting the restriction. These methods are effective for both clogged and slow-running drains.
