The present invention relates to new alkaline, preferably highly alkaline, cleaning solutions comprising surfactants with improved stability and cleaning performance under such conditions. It further relates to novel surfactants.

The present invention aims to provide an antiviral agent that is safe to a human body, and provides an antiviral agent comprising a titanium phosphate compound, a silicic acid compound, a silver compound, and a copper compound.

Polishing compositions are disclosed for simultaneously removing particles from a surface that has been polished using a CMP slurry comprising a polishing rate accelerator and removing a pad stain from a polishing pad that has been contacted with a CMP slurry comprising a polishing rate accelerator.

Cleaning compositions for post-CMP cleaning of semiconductor surfaces, comprise one or more reducing agents, a particle removal agent, a surfactant, and a base. When one or more reducing agents yields a standard reduction potential of less than 1.224 V, the cleaning composition of the present disclosure is able to remove a MnO.sub.2 pad stain from a polishing pad and reduce defects on a polished surface (by removing particles).

The present disclosure relates to contact lens solution comprising cyclodextrin, ophthalmic solutions comprising cy-clodextrin for treating disorders or conditions associated with wearing of contact lenses, methods of treating such disorders or conditions using the ophthalmic cyclodextrin solutions, and kits and combination products thereof.

The present invention relates to new alkaline, preferably highly alkaline, cleaning solutions comprising surfactants with improved stability and cleaning performance under such conditions. It further relates to novel surfactants.

The present invention relates to Eco-friendly compositions for domestic and industrial applications as well as cleaning materials and detergents. In particular, the present invention relates to non-toxic green noval compositions including: about 1.0% to about 5.0% of Sodium Carbonate, about 0.1% to about 6.0% Potassium Hydroxide, up to 1.0% D-Limonene, and about to 1.5% to about 6.0% Alkyl Polyglycosides.

An ophthalmic composition includes effective amounts of a comfort enhancing agent, a surfactant, and a buffering agent. The comfort enhancing agent includes a first functional monomer that is 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC). The comfort enhancing agent has a HLB value between 8 and 40. In addition, the comfort enhancing agent can further include a second functional monomer that is preferably n-butyl methacrylate (BMA).

Disclosed is a cleansing composition having pH of at least 9, said composition comprising: (i) 20 to 85 wt % anionic surfactant; and, (ii) a silver(I) compound having silver ion solubility (in water at 25 C.) of at least 110.sup.4 mol/L, at a level equivalent to silver content of 0.01 to 100 ppm, wherein the free alkali content of said composition is less than 0.01%. The composition is a robust and improved cleansing composition with a stable colour.
