Antimicrobial or non-antimicrobial compositions, sanitizing compositions and other compositions combining use of a propoxylated EO/PO block copolymer surfactant and/or propoxylated polymer in combination with at least one additional anionic and/or nonionic surfactant to provide concentrated compositions having a desired viscoelasticity at an active level of at least 18% are disclosed. Non-antimicrobial applications combining use of a propoxylated surfactant and/or propoxylated polymer in combination with at least one additional anionic and/or nonionic surfactant to provide compositions having a desired viscoelasticity are also disclosed. Methods of using concentrated and use compositions having desired foaming enhancement and stabilization are also disclosed.

This invention relates to the use of chlorite-based antimicrobials in a manner where the time of biocidal activity is extended for the microbial control in the water used for drilling, completion and remediation of wells. The invention involves mixing of a compatible extender in the form of sodium chlorate with sodium chlorite to form an antimicrobial formulation. This combination is used with an acid on the site to generate chlorine dioxide which is injected into the water used for hydraulic fracturing or remedial workover. The formulation is a much more effective bactericide for the subterranean oil and gas rich formations. The potency and longevity of biocidal activity is controlled by varying the ratios of chlorate and acid which provide different profiles of the antimicrobial activities.

The present disclosure relates to pesticidal compositions and to methods for controlling pests, such as insects and other arthropods. More particularly, the disclosure relates to a pesticidal composition that leaves less residue on a treated surface, while providing efficacious control of arthropods.

This invention relates to a liquid herbicidal composition comprising a non-aqueous solvent system, at least one sulfonylurea herbicide and at least one inorganic salt selected from the metal carbonates and metal phosphates. The invention also relates to the use of an inorganic salt selected from the metal carbonates and metal phosphates to improve chemical stabilisation of a sulfonylurea herbicide in a liquid composition comprising a non-aqueous solvent system.

This invention provides processes comprising contacting at least one unopened defeathered poultry carcass with water containing a microbiocidal composition, optionally opening and eviscerating at least one unopened defeathered poultry carcass that was wetted; subjecting at least one eviscerated poultry carcass to inside-outside washing with water containing a microbiocidal composition; placing at least one eviscerated poultry carcass in a chill tank into contact with chill water containing a microbiocidal composition; contacting parts of poultry resulting from processing of poultry containing a microbiocidal composition. The water in these processes contains a microbiocidal composition comprising I) one or more surfactants and II) a microbiocidal amount of a biocide. The surfactants include amine oxides and/or betaines. The biocides include various chlorine-based and bromine-based biocides; chlorine dioxide; and peracetic acid.
