Contemplated compositions and methods for treating in service concrete includes the step of contacting a portion of the in service concrete with an composition, wherein the composition comprises a base and at least one of an acid and a salt of an acid in an amount effective to convert insoluble calcium salts into soluble calcium gluconates that can be washed away with water or other liquid.

A cleaning solution, composition, and portable cleaner are provided that is all natural, safe, non-toxic, edible, anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, deodorizing, and further includes a pleasant fragrance and taste. In addition, the cleaning composition can be free from sugar, alcohol, surfactants, and other harmful or harsh ingredients. In addition, the cleaning composition allows for quick cleaning of any type of object that may be placed in the mouth, such as pacifiers, toys, candy, eating utensils, musical instruments, and mouth-pieces, among others.

The disclosure relates to compositions comprising a polysaccharide derivative, wherein the polysaccharide derivative comprises a polysaccharide substituted with a) at least one hydrophobic group, and b) at least one hydrophilic group, wherein the polysaccharide is poly alpha-1,3-glucan, poly alpha-1,6-glucan, or poly alpha-1,3-1,6-glucan.

A clothing aroma-enhancing bead composition and a method for preparing same are provided. The clothing aroma-enhancing bead composition includes the following raw materials in percentage by weight: 60-95% of sugar granules, 1.0-20% of liquid essence, and 0.5-20% of silica. The clothing aroma-enhancing bead composition takes the sugar granules as a core, and surfaces of the sugar granules are coated with the liquid essence and the silica. The clothing aroma-enhancing bead composition is attractive in appearance, good in solubility, and simple in production process.

Described is a post-CMP cleaning solution and methods useful to remove residue from a CMP substrate or to prevent formation of residue on a surface of a CMP substrate.

A method of inducing competence in cells, the method comprising contacting the cell with a composition comprising a quaternary ammonium compound including a silicon-containing functional group and a hydrocarbyl-saccharide compound.

Solid detergent compositions for dishwashing or warewashing compositions and applications of use are disclosed. In particular, solid caustic-based compositions that do not require a traditional dispenser for controlled rate of release over multiple cycles are disclosed. Compositions, methods of employ and cleaning using the same are disclosed.

A cleaning solution, composition, and portable cleaner are provided that is all natural, safe, non-toxic, edible, anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, deodorizing, and further includes a pleasant fragrance and taste. In addition, the cleaning composition can be free from sugar, alcohol, surfactants, and other harmful or harsh ingredients. In addition, the cleaning composition allows for quick cleaning of any type of object that may be placed in the mouth, such as pacifiers, toys, candy, eating utensils, musical instruments, and mouth-pieces, among others.

The present invention relates to a method for the corrosion-protective and cleaning pretreatment of metallic components, produced at least partially from metallic materials from the elements iron, zinc and/or aluminum, with the use of an acid aqueous composition containing, in addition to the water-soluble compounds of the elements Zr and/or Ti causing the conversion of the metal surface, a mixture of an aliphatic diol and an aliphatic saturated polyhydroxy compound. It also comprises a chrome(VI)-free aqueous composition based on the constituents mentioned above which delivers outstanding results in cleaning and simultaneous corrosion-protective conversion of technical metal surfaces in one method step.

A chemical composition includes citric acid, sodium bicarbonate, starch, at least one oil, and a liquid composition such as water combined to form a solid tablet. The composition may react with water to produce a film over a body of water, such that the film is used to cover the surface of the contents of a latrine and prevent gasses and odors from escaping the latrine.
