An antimicrobial composition comprising: a) C2-C8 alkylated polyvinylpyrrolidone polymer; and b) biocidal agent selected from the group consisting of quaternary ammonium compounds, chlorohexidine salts, polymeric biguanides, organic acids, hydrogen peroxide, tertiary alkyl amines, iodophors and mixtures thereof.

A composition comprising a metathesized polyol ester that may be combined with a fibrous structure, including a wipe.

Described herein is an article of manufacture and a method of manufacturing said article, where the article of manufacture includes: a substrate including a webbing; and a varnish layer including an encapsulated fragrance composition applied to at least one surface of the substrate.

A process for foam forming webs is disclosed. The foam formed webs can be used as wiping products, such as industrial wipers, food service wipers, and the like. The web contains a mixture of cellulosic fibers and longer, strength building fibers. The web is foam formed and then subjected to one or more hydroentangling steps. After hydroentangling, the web is dried in a non-compressive manner.

A wet sheet for cleaning includes multiple layers and is impregnated with a chemical solution. The wet sheet includes hydrophobic fiber layers arranged in a front surface layer and a back surface layer, and a hydrophilic fiber layer arranged in an intermediate layer. The hydrophobic fiber layers have an interlaced part with a high fiber density where the hydrophobic fiber layers are interlaced with the hydrophilic fiber layer. The interlaced part has at least one slightly interlaced part and at least one highly interlaced part which is formed in a dent shape and which is interlaced with a higher fiber density. The highly interlaced part is formed in an area ratio of 10 to 20% to an area of the front surface layer or the back surface layer. Static friction resistance of the wet sheet for cleaning is lower than kinetic friction resistance of the wet sheet for cleaning.

The present invention provides formulations comprising a suspension of nanocellulose (NC) elements and a drying/dispersal additive selected from the group consisting of temperature-responsive polymers, small molecule additives in volatile systems, and blocking agents and methods of preparing such formulations, and further provides NC-containing materials, composite materials and useful articles of manufacture made therefrom.

Active agent-containing articles, for example fibrous structures, that exhibit consumer acceptable article in-use properties, such as flexibility, article dimensions, and/or dissolvability, and product-shipping assemblies for containing the same are provided.

An automotive surface is cleaned by applying an effective amount of a cleaning composition comprising a) at least one hydrocarbon solvent in an amount from about 3 weight percent to about 20 weight percent of the composition, b) at least one thickener/rheology modifier in an amount from about 0.01 weight percent to about 3 weight percent, c) at least one silicone fluid has a viscosity ranging from about 500 to about 20,000 centistokes at 25° C., present in an amount from about 0.1 weight percent to about 3 weight percent, d) at least one wetting agent in an amount from about 0.001 to about 2%, e) at least one hydrophobic additive in an amount from about 0.1 to about 3%, and f) water in an amount from about 60 weight percent to about 85 weight percent to the automotive surface with an application implement.

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.

The present invention provides formulations comprising a suspension of nanocellulose (NC) elements and a drying/dispersal additive selected from the group consisting of temperature-responsive polymers, small molecule additives in volatile systems, and blocking agents and methods of preparing such formulations, and further provides NC-containing materials, composite materials and useful articles of manufacture made therefrom.
