MULTI-UNIT SYSTEM FOR CREATING AN OXIDATION REDUCTION POTENTIAL (ORP) IN WATER WITH MULTI-PATH MANIFOLD FOR MIXING AND DISTRIBUTION
20230212009 · 2023-07-06 ·

A transportable system for creating an ORP in water includes an ozone supply unit and a manifold housed in separate enclosures on a wheeled frame. The ozone supply unit feeds into the manifold which contains a plurality of fluid paths and has one or more ozone intake ports. The ozone intake ports are fluidically coupled to one or more ozone output ports of the ozone supply unit. The manifold includes flow switches configured to transmit control signals to one or more controllers of the ozone supply unit in response to sensing a flow of water through the fluid paths in order to cause the ozone supply unit to generate ozone. The manifold also includes fluid mixers that are fluidically coupled to the ozone intake ports and configured to introduce the ozone generated by the ozone supply unit into the water flowing through the fluid paths.

SYNERGISTIC Zn/PHENOLIC SOLVENT FORMULATIONS FOR SANITIZATION AND ODOR CONTROL IN LAUNDRY

Treatment compositions for use in laundry capable of providing sanitization through the wash e.g., for use with a detergent, where the compositions include an inorganic zinc salt potentiated by a phenolic solvent, to provide sanitization. The compositions can include an inorganic zinc salt, and a phenolic solvent, e.g., at an acidic pH (e.g., 2 to 5, or 3.5 to 4.5). The composition can include an anionic surfactant (e.g., alkyl sulfates, alkyl ether sulfates, etc.) and/or a nonionic surfactant (e.g., an alkyl polyglucoside). The composition may be free of alkoxylated nonionic surfactants which are not stable in the present compositions, which have high ionic strength (e.g., due to ˜3% of the zinc salt included in the formula). The composition may be free of various other components that would not be stable in such high ionic strength conditions, or otherwise interfere with stability and efficacy of the sanitizing and/or disinfecting laundry composition.

SANITIZING AND DISINFECTING SUBSTRATES LOADED WITH HYPOCHLOROUS ACID SOLUTION
20230002705 · 2023-01-05 ·

Sanitizing and disinfecting substrates of a nonwoven fabric material are loaded with an HOCl solution having a FAC concentration from about 25 ppm to about 750 ppm and a potential of hydrogen (pH) from about 4.5 pH to about 7.5 pH. The substrate may be a synthetic nonwoven fabric laminate having outer layers of one or more Spunbond synthetic fibers and an inner layer of polyester (PET) or pulp. Alternatively, the substrate may be an organic nonwoven fabric formed from one or more layers of cellulosic fibers. The layers may be bonded together by adhesive bonding, chemical bonding or thermal bonding. The substrates may be disposed within a container for storing and subsequently dispensing the substrates. The substrates may be pre-moistened and disposed within the container, or alternatively, disposed within the container and subsequently moistened with the HOCl solution.

LIQUID WASHING COMPOSITION WITH SEPARATE COMPONENTS FOR LAUNDRY AND KIT THEREOF AND WASHING METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC WASHING MACHINES
20220411721 · 2022-12-29 ·

A fluid washing composition with four separate components and laundry washing kit thereof is disclosed. The four components are housed in respective independent tanks of a laundry washing machine equipped with a program for selecting, dosing and differentiated delivering. Component 1 is a detergent formulation with a pH of 4.0-12.0, with high detergent effect in washing programs at temperatures of 40°-60° C., having a specific action on cotton fibers, particularly, whites. Component 2 is a detergent formulation with a pH of 8.0-12.0, with high detergent effect in washing programs at temperatures of 15°-40° C., having a specific action on synthetic, colored and animal-origin fibers. Component 3 is an enzyme-based stain-removing formulation including protease and lipase and possibly amylase with a pH of 5.0-6.0, stabilized with sorbitol and calcium chloride. Component 4 is an after-wash conditioning formulation, with a pH of 2.0-4.0.
