This invention relates to the Chemical Composition for impregnation via spraying on disposal surgical masks and sleeved gowns made from hydrophilic and hydrophobic materials to inactivate bacteria and viruses, comprising of colloidal silver nanoparticles, Isopropanol Alcohol/Ethanol Alcohol Chlorhexidine/Quaternary Ammonium Compound, Peppermint/Spearmint Essential oils and water.

An active ingredient preparation may be used in steam generators that includes at least one specific carrier material and at least one specific active ingredient. The active ingredient preparation may be used together with steam for steaming textiles. A functional element for a hand-held steam generator for treating textiles may include the active ingredient preparation in or on a carrier element. Finally, a method for steaming textiles may include or consist of providing a steam generator having a functional element, generating steam in the steam generator, bringing the steam into contact with the active ingredient preparation, and then applying the steam, which contains the active ingredient preparation, to a textile to be steamed.

A reloadable microcapsule contains a microcapsule core and a microcapsule wall encapsulating the microcapsule core. The microcapsule core contains a hydrophobic core solvent and a hydrophilic core solvent, and the microcapsule wall, formed of an encapsulating polymer, is permeable to the hydrophilic core solvent. Also disclosed are methods of preparing the reloadable microcapsule and consumer products having the microcapsules.

A method for infusing an aromatic essential oil into a face covering so as to provide a prolonged olfactory benefit to the wearer of the face covering. The method of the present invention includes utilization of specific unit volumes of an essential oil, a carrier oil and a cyclodextrin wherein the aforementioned are placed into a suitable container that is located in a temperature controlled environment. The ingredients are mixed so as to initiate the emulsification process and as such encapsulation of the oil components occurs. A dry sprayer is utilized to apply a portion of the mixture onto the face covering and immediately thereafter the face covering is placed in a storage container. The carrier oil is maintained at a temperature during introduction into the mixing container. The method of the present invention provides an olfactory release for an extended period of at least 12 hours.

A laundry scent additive having polyethylene glycol and perfume. The laundry scent additive enables consumers to control the amount of scent imparted to their laundry.

Processes and uses related to treating fabrics with an organic acid, such as citric acid with certain treatment liquors or consumer product treatment compositions. A process to determine the presence of a metal-based residue on a fabric. Uses of a treatment composition or a treatment liquor to rejuvenate a non-white color of a fabric. Processes to demonstrate and/or display the color-rejuvenation benefits of a treatment composition.

The present invention generally relates to a chemical process under flow conditions for manufacturing compounds which absorb ultraviolet (UV) radiation and protect biological materials as well as non-biological materials from damaging exposure to UV radiation. The present invention further includes formulations and compositions comprising such compounds for use in absorbing UV radiation, as well as methods for protecting biological materials as well as non-biological materials from damaging exposure to UV radiation.

This invention relates to odor control molecules comprised of polyethyleneimine compounds containing N-halamine and derivatives thereof.

A smokeless tobacco product includes smokeless tobacco and structural fibers. The structural fibers forming a network in which the smokeless tobacco is entangled. The structural fibers have a composition different from the smokeless tobacco. The tobacco-entangled fabric can have an overall oven volatiles content of at least 10 weight percent. In some embodiments, the structural fibers form a nonwoven network. In some embodiments, fibrous structures of the smokeless tobacco are entangled with the structural fibers.
