The invention discloses synergistic combinations of surfactant blends and cleaning compositions employing the same. In certain embodiments a surfactant system is disclosed which includes an extended anionic surfactant with novel linker surfactants including one or more of an alkyl glycerol ether, an ethoxylated alkyl glycerol ether, an alcohol ethoxylate and/or a Gemini surfactant. This system forms emulsions with, and can remove greasy and oily stains, even those comprised of non-trans fats. The compositions may be used alone, as a pre-spotter or other pre-treatment or as a part of a soft surface or hard surface cleaning composition.

This disclosure relates to transfer plate lubricant compositions and methods of transporting open containers across stationary transfer plates.

This invention relates to the use of colloids of a core of zinc containing compounds and a shell of metal containing surfactants, such as salicylates and or sulfonates, metal alkanoates, and or metal carboxylates, as additives in lubricant compositions having good anti-wear properties, especially for engine crankcase applications.

A method of dispersing C60 in a lubricant to form a C60 lubricant includes combining C60 with a limonene composition to form a C60 mixture, and heating the C60 mixture to a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time period to dissolve the C60 into the limonene composition to form a C60 concentrate. The method further includes combining the C60 concentrate with a cosolvent to form a blended C60 mixture, and combining the blended C60 mixture with the lubricant to disperse the C60 in the lubricant and to form the C60 lubricant.

This invention relates to compositions comprising cellulose particles and methods for making and using same. This invention also relates to compositions comprising a fluid and particles comprising cellulose. Thus, disclosed herein are methods of manufacture, isolation, purification, and handling of cellulose particles. Also disclosed are uses for cellulose particles as additives in leavened or leavenable food products, or in an emulsion or emulsifiable product, or as a suspension aid, or in a thickened composition, or in a meat or meat analog product, or in a personal care formulation, or in a beauty formulation, or in a cosmetic formulation, or in a skin care formulation. Also disclosed are uses for cellulose particles in subterranean treatment compositions. Also disclosed are uses for cellulose particles in metal working compositions, cutting compositions, and stamping compositions. Also disclosed herein are resuspendable particles comprising cellulose. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.

A composition is provided to comprise a non-aqueous medium and a 3,4-oxypyridine compound of structure (I): ##STR00001##
with each A being oxygen and/or sulfur, and with a variety of substituents at R.sub.1-R.sub.5 to enable a solution or an at least semi-stable emulsion to be formed in the non-aqueous medium. Methods of use are included herein, which may be focused on situations where the composition can be used as a lubricant and/or coolant.

A composition and method for reducing the coefficient of friction and required pulling force of a wire or cable are provided. A composition of aqueous emulsion is provided that is environmentally friendly, halogen free and solvent free. The composition is compatible with various types of insulating materials and may be applied after the wire or cable is cooled and also by spraying or submerging the wire or cable in a bath. The composition contains lubricating agents that provide lower coefficient of friction for wire or cable installation and continuous wire or cable surface lubrication thereafter.
