Provided are compositions containing alkyl esters derived from triglyceride oils produced from genetically engineered microalgae. Specific embodiments relate to esters derived from oils with high C10-C12 fatty acid profile. Compositions comprising the esters include cleaning products, completion fluids, work-over fluids, drilling fluids, metal working fluids, lubricants, paints, and inks.

Detergent compositions that include surfactant systems, encapsulates, and cationic deposition aid polymers. Methods of making and using such compositions.

Polyol esters of metathesized fatty acids are generally disclosed herein. Methods of using such compounds, for example, as cleaning agents, solvents, and coalescents for paints and coatings, are also disclosed.

The present invention relates to a pearly liquid detergent composition comprising a thickener, a pearlescent agent and perfume capsules. The present invention further relates to a method for cleaning textiles using such a pearly liquid detergent composition.

Compositions are described that include an oil, a surfactant, and optionally a charged polymer complex, where the composition may also include an aqueous phase to provide a microemulsion. Methods of manufacturing the compositions are also described, along with methods of using the compositions in home care and personal care.

A composition including a plurality of particles, wherein the particles include: about 25% to about 99% by weight a water soluble carrier; and about 1% to about 75% by weight a graft copolymer; wherein the graft copolymer includes: (a) a polyalkylene oxide which has a number average molecular weight of from about 1000 to about 20,000 Da and is based on ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, or butylene oxide; (b) N-vinylpyrrolidone; and (c) vinyl ester derived from a saturated monocarboxylic acid containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms; wherein each of the particles has a mass from about 1 mg to about 1 g.

Solid compositions for use in textile treatment, each comprising, based on the total weight of the solid composition, a total amount of each of —30% to 70% by weight of at least one peroxide compound, —10% to 20% by weight of at least one organic bleach activator, —5% to 50% by weight of hydrogencarbonate, calculated as sodium hydrogencarbonate, —0% to 5% by weight of surfactant, where the total amount of organic compound in the solid composition is 10% to 50% by weight, preferably 20% to 35% by weight, are thermally stable and can be stored reliably. They are suitable as an additive to conventional textile treatment compositions, especially to liquid washing compositions, and can be provided as a portion encased with a water-soluble material.

Effervescent compositions are disclosed, particularly effervescent compositions useful in toilet bowls. The effervescent composition may include at least one liquid or solid hydrogen peroxide source and at least one catalyst capable of catalyzing an oxidation of the hydrogen peroxide source in the presence of a liquid, such as water. Accordingly, the effervescent composition is capable of effervescence in the presence of a liquid. The effervescent composition may also include a non-hygroscopic solvent. The presence of the non-hygroscopic solvent may assist the effervescent composition in substantially avoiding effervescence until the composition contacts the liquid. Optionally, the ratio of the hydrogen peroxide source and catalyst to the non-hygroscopic solvent is not less than 9:1.

The present invention relates to treatment compositions containing polymer systems that provide stability and benefit agent deposition as well as methods of making and using same. Such treatment compositions may be used for example as through the wash and/or through the rinse fabric enhancers as well as unit dose treatment compositions.

The invention discloses cleaning compositions which employ a synergistic combination of an ester solvent, preferably a fatty acid methyl ester in combination with one or more linear alkyl amines. The alkyl amines act as to remove and suspend organic oils which have been burnt or adhered to a surface with heat and may even be used alone as a soil removal agent. The cleaning compositions have particular use in cleaning of distillation towers associated with biofuel, and vegetable oil refining, but also find use in cleaning ovens, food cooking surfaces and even dry cleaning.
