The need for a process for making a structured liquid detergent composition which comprises a structurant without introducing high levels of water or emulsifying agents, or requiring a separate structuring premix to be formed, is met herein.

A laundry detergent composition including an alkyl isethionate and a de-foaming agent.

The present invention relates to unit dose detergent compositions comprising a water-soluble container formed from a water-soluble film material enclosing a liquid composition with a relatively high water content. In one embodiment, the unit dose detergent composition comprises a water-soluble container formed from a water-soluble film material enclosing a liquid composition, wherein the liquid composition comprises (a) at least one surfactant, (b) at least one humectant selected from the group consisting of polyols having 3 to 9 carbon atoms, and (c) about 15 wt % to about 35 wt % of water.

Aqueous formulations comprising (A) at least one organic complexing agent selected from (A1) alkali metal salts of aminopolycarboxylic acids and (A2) polymers bearing at least two CH.sub.2N(CH.sub.2COOH)-units per molecule, partially or fully neutralized with alkali, (B) at least one salt of at least one of the following acids: nitric acid, sulphuric acid, sulphamic acid, methanesulfonic acid, C.sub.1-C.sub.2-carboxylic acids, C.sub.2-C.sub.4-hydroxymonocarboxylic acids, C.sub.2-C.sub.7-dicarboxylic acids, unsubstituted or substituted with hydroxyl, and C.sub.4-C.sub.6-tricarboxylic acids, each unsubstituted or substituted with hydroxyl, (C) at least one compound selected from (C1) phosphoric acid C.sub.2-C.sub.10-monoalkyl esters, (C2) a C.sub.3-C.sub.10-alkynol, optionally alkoxylated with one to 10 alkoxide groups per hydroxyl group, and (C3) a C.sub.4-C.sub.10-alkynediol, optionally alkoxylated with one to 10 alkoxide groups per hydroxyl group, said aqueous formulations having pH values in the range of from 7.5 to 10.

This disclosure relates to a cleaning composition that contains 1) at least one redox agent; 2) at least one water soluble organic solvent; 3) at least one metal-containing additive; 4) at least one cyclic amine, and 5) water.

Solid compositions having a caustic source and polyol with a caustic:water weight ratio in the solid composition between 60:40 to less than about 70:30 are provided. Methods of making the solid compositions using a concentrated alkali metal hydroxide beneficially reduces or eliminates the use of solid caustic beads commonly used to make solid caustic compositions for use in cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting.

The invention present describes novel cleaning agents based on a multiphase system, the use thereof for removing photoresist coatings from surfaces, and a method for removing photoresist coatings from surfaces. The multiphase system according to the invention is used in particular for removing coatings, photoresist coatings, polymer layers, dirt layers, insulation layers, and metal layers from surfaces.

A cleaning composition including active ingredients and at least one of a solvent and a surfactant is disclosed. The cleaning composition can be loaded on a cleaning wipe. The solvent and/or surfactant singly or in combination with each other provides an enhancement to the dispersion of the active ingredients within the cleaning composition, depending on the level in the final formulation, thereby reducing streaking and residue of the active ingredients on the surface cleaned with the wipe.

The present invention relates to unit dose detergent compositions comprising a water-soluble container formed from a water-soluble film material enclosing a liquid composition with a relatively high water content. In one embodiment, the unit dose detergent composition comprises a water-soluble container formed from a water-soluble film material enclosing a liquid composition, wherein the liquid composition comprises (a) at least one surfactant, (b) at least one humectant selected from the group consisting of polyols having 3 to 9 carbon atoms, and (c) about 15 wt % to about 35 wt % of water.

A method of surface treating a load-bearing member comprising a tension member and a polymer jacket around the tension member is disclosed. According to the method, a liquid composition including water, a water-soluble organic polyol or a water-soluble organic polymer, and a surfactant is applied to a surface of the polymer jacket.
