The present invention relates to detergent or cleaning compositions with improved sudsing profile, which comprise a cationic polymer, an organomodified silicone and a siloxane-based diluent.

The disclosure relates a surfactant package for use in hard surface cleaning compositions, preferably floor cleaning compositions which pair an anionic linear alkyl sulfonate surfactant and a nonionic surfactant in a ratio of 1:1 to 9:1. This combination provides for synergistic cleaning of both proteinaceous food soils (red soils) and hydrocarbon-based oily soils (black soils) while also reducing foam produced by the composition. Synergistic nonionic surfactants include EO/PO alcohol alkoxylates or EO/PO fatty alcohol surfactants with a propylene oxide to ethylene oxide to ratio of greater than 1.

The invention relates to a novel sulfobetaine monomer and to a process for the preparation thereof, advantageously by reaction between a vinyl-amine compound and a vinyl-sulfonic acid compound, preferably in the presence of a solubilizing agent. The invention also relates to the (co)polymers obtained from this novel type of sulfobetaine monomer, and to the use thereof, for example as a flocculant, dispersing agent, thickening agent, absorbent agent or friction-reducing agent.

A disinfecting, sanitizing and cleaning composition is a formulation that is safe for use on food contact surfaces without the need for any post-application water rinse. In one exemplary embodiment, the cleaning and disinfecting composition eliminates the need for the post-application water rinse by using only components that are considered Food Safe by the EPA. In another exemplary embodiment, the cleaning and disinfecting composition the includes citric acid, but without any anionic surfactants in the cleaning and disinfecting composition. In still another exemplary embodiment of the disclosure, the cleaning and disinfecting composition includes a second organic acid and one or more nonionic surfactants as components along with citric acid to provide unexpected and beneficial antimicrobial properties to the cleaning and disinfecting composition.

A stabilized antifoaming composition having at least three components. The first component is an antifoaming agent. The second component is an ethylene-(meth)acrylic acid copolymer. The third component is a salt.

The invention relates to a granulate comprising an inorganic solid carrier with at least one biosurfactant contained thereon, as well as to formulations containing this granulate and to the use of same.

A stable liquid detergent composition containing a self-structuring surfactant system, where without using external structurants, the liquid detergent composition exhibits good shear thinning properties while maintaining stability under high shear. A liquid detergent composition comprising a linear alkyl benzene sulfonate, a zwitterionic and/or amphoteric surfactant and optionally polyethylene glycol.

A stable liquid detergent composition containing a self-structuring surfactant system, where without using external structurants, the liquid detergent composition exhibits good shear thinning properties while maintaining stability under high shear. A liquid detergent composition that includes a linear alkyl benzene sulfonate, an amine oxide surfactant and little or no alkoxylated alkyl sulfate and unalkoxylated alkyl sulfate.

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

A surfactant of structure (I) is useful as a biodegradable low foaming surfactant: where m is a value in a range of 3 to 10, n is a value in a range of 5 to 20 and z is a value in a range of 10 to 25.
