The invention relates to the use of a non-aqueous composition comprising an organic solvent and at least one particular siloxane-type additive for treating substrates comprising patterns having line-space dimensions of 50 nm or below and aspect ratios of 4 or more as well as a method for manufacturing integrated circuit devices, optical devices, micromachines and mechanical precision devices, the said method comprising the steps of (1) providing a substrate having patterned material layers having line-space dimensions of 50 nm, aspect ratios of greater or equal 4, or a combination thereof, (2) contacting the substrate at least once with a non-aqueous composition, and (3) removing the non-aqueous composition from the contact with the substrate, wherein the non-aqueous composition comprising an organic solvent and at least one of such siloxane-type additives.

The present application relates processes that can be used to produce encapsulated benefit agents comprising a core and a shell that encapsulates said core, encapsulated benefit agents produced by such process and products comprising such encapsulated benefit agents as well as methods of making and using such products. Such process can be used to produce particles that offer the desired protection and release benefits when used in a varity of products.

Defoamer formulations with rapid knockdown and extended performance contain specific polyorganosiloxanes having alkylene linkages between siloxy groups, silicone resins, fillers, a polyoxyethylene surfactant, and an organic or inorganic acid.

A sanitizing formulation is disclosed for use as a hand sanitizer. The formulation may include hypochlorous acid, a silicone polymer or blend thereof, sodium phosphate, hydrochloric acid, and sodium magnesium silicate. Methods of using and making the sanitizing formulation are also disclosed.

Aqueous surfactant compositions comprising one or more alpha-sulfo fatty acid disalt (A) of general formula (I),

R.sup.1CH(SO.sub.3M.sup.1)COOM.sup.2 (I), in which the radical R.sup.1 is a linear or branched alkyl or alkenyl radical having 6 to 18 carbon atoms and the radicals M.sup.1 and M.sup.2, independently of one another, are selected from the group comprising H, Li, Na, K, Ca/2, Mg/2, ammonium and alkanolamine, one or more silicone compound (B) selected from amodimethicones (B1), dimethicones (B2), dimethiconols (B3) and cyclomethicones (B4), and water.

The compositions have good foaming ability, a pleasant sensory feel to the foam, good skin compatibility, and are suitable for cosmetic products, detergents, and cleaners.

Defoamer compositions containing a plurality of defined organopolysiloxanes exhibit very short initial foam collapse and yet exhibit long lasting defoaming activity when added to aqueous media prone to foaming.

Described herein are fabric softening compositions comprising a quaternary ammonium compound, an edible-type tallow, isopropyl alcohol, and a plasticizer comprising an iso-methyl group. Methods of making and using the fabric softening compositions are also described herein.
