A tile system for covering a surface. The tile system comprises a first tile assembly connected to a second tile assembly by a connector. Each tile assembly comprises a first tile stacked on a second tile, the first tile and the second tile joined to a reinforcing material disposed therebetween. The connector comprises a first component and a second component that is complementary to the first component. The first component is mounted to the first tile assembly, and the second component is mounted to the second tile assembly.

A cleaning composition includes an organic solvent, an organic acid, a chelating agent, a surfactant containing at least one hydroxyl group (OH) at the end, and an ultra pure water, wherein a pH value of the cleaning composition is equal to or higher than 12.

The present disclosure relates to stable aqueous compositions of alkyl sulfates, which are suitable for numerous commercial applications due to their favorable cleaning and foaming properties. More particularly, the disclosure relates to stable aqueous compositions of alkyl sulfates in combination with select hydrophobic agents, such as essential oils.

Provided among other things is a cleaning composition comprising: a carrier fluid; and Minute Fibrils suspended in the carrier fluid, wherein the composition is protein cleaning effective.

A composition for inhibiting corrosion and/or removing hydrocarbonaceous deposits in oil and gas applications is provided. The composition comprises an iron sulfide dissolver, an organic solvent, and a corrosion inhibitor.

A multi-stage brushless car wash system is disclosed. The multi-stage brushless car wash system may be use different chemical solutions to wash vehicles. The chemical solutions may include an alkaline based solution. The chemical solutions may also or alternatively include ann acid based solution.

The invention meets the needs above by providing a surfactant system, mixture or blend that can be used as a part of a soaking composition. The surfactant system is capable of forming emulsions with, and thus removing, oily and greasy stains. In a preferred embodiment the surfactant compositions of the invention can remove non-trans fat and fatty acid stains. The invention involves foaming soaking compositions that have some or part of the anionic surfactant present in the same replaced with an extended chain anionic surfactant.

The present disclosure relates to a polymerizable surfactant with reducibility and a preparation method thereof. The acid anhydride is reacted with a long-chain fatty alcohol to obtain an intermediate of an anhydride monoester, and then the obtained intermediate is reacted with the hydrochloride of dimethylaminohalogenated alkane, and a polymerizable surfactant with reducibility is obtained by post-processing. The polymerizable surfactant can not only play a role as a reactive emulsifier and copolymerize with monomers to obtain a soap-free emulsion, but also form a redox initiation system with peroxide, and conduct redox emulsion polymerization at room temperature. The soap-free emulsion synthesized by the polymerizable surfactant synthesized can greatly reduce the energy consumption in production, and can carry out one-step emulsion polymerization at normal temperature or low temperature to obtain an environment-friendly emulsion with a branched structure, thereby obtaining coatings with excellent water resistance, weather resistance, and impact resistance.

Fatty amine compositions made from a metathesis-derived C10-C17 monounsaturated acid, octadecene-1,18-dioic acid, or their ester derivatives are disclosed. In another aspect, fatty amidoamines made by reacting a metathesis-derived C10-C17 monounsaturated acid, octadecene-1,18-dioic acid, or their ester derivatives with an aminoalkyl-substituted tertiary amine are disclosed. The fatty amines or amidoamines are advantageously sulfonated, sulfitated, oxidized, or reduced. In other aspects, the ester derivative is a modified triglyceride made by self-metathesis of a natural oil or an unsaturated triglyceride made by cross-metathesis of a natural oil with an olefin.
