Silica microcapsules, each of which includes a shell, and a core containing one or more organic compounds inside the shell, a softener composition containing the silica microcapsules, and a method of producing the silica microcapsules is described. In the silica microcapsules, the shell contains silica as a constituent component, and the organic compound contains a primary alcohol.

The present invention relates to a method of preparing microcapsules, and the microcapsules prepared according to the preparation method of the present invention can exhibit high versatility, natural degradability and long-term stability, and the active substance in the capsule can be stably loaded in the capsule even in the presence of a surfactant.

Compositions and methods useful for removing anionic contaminates and debris including phosphates from dental restorative substrates are disclosed.

A low-viscosity liquid detergent composition comprising an antifoam and a non-ionic surfactant.

A defoamer or anti-foam formulation and a process for preparing the same. The process includes in a first step, preparing branched organopolysiloxanes (A) by irradiating organopolysiloxanes (X) of the formula (1)

R.sup.1.sub.3-a(R.sup.2O).sub.aSi—[OSiR.sup.3.sub.2].sub.n—OSi(OR.sup.2).sub.aR.sup.1.sub.3-a   (1).

Where with high-energy radiation, the viscosity of the organopolysiloxanes (A) is at least 40% higher than the viscosity of the organopolysiloxanes (X). In a second step, the branched organopolysiloxanes (A) are treated with a filler (B) which is selected from precipitated and/or fumed silicas, and organopolysiloxane resins (C).

A foaming composition containing a foaming agent that is made up of at least one acid and at least one base. The base and the acid being able to react in the presence of water, producing carbon dioxide. The composition also contains an anionic surfactant. The composition is in the form of a loose powder and in that it contains a mass percentage of the surfactant that is greater than or equal to 3% and is less than or equal to 4%. In particular, the mass percentage of the surfactant is less than 3.5%, and/or a mass percentage of the acid and base mixture is greater than or equal to 90%. The composition allows a foam to be obtained that allows excrement to be hidden, and splashes, rising odors and falling noises to be avoided.

Foaming compositions containing one or more gas bubble-stabilizing agents and an effervescent system such that the foaming compositions create stable foams, foaming products containing such foaming compositions, and methods for making such foaming compositions and foaming products are provided.

Fibrous wall material pouch containing one or more fibrous structures including a hydroxyl polymer; and one or more anionic surfactants including a glutamate surfactant is provided.

Disclosed are a composite glass composition for washing and cleaning and a method for producing composite glass powder using the same, in which a silicate-based glass composition containing an alkali oxide for activating water into alkaline water and a bleaching agent having bleaching performance are mixed or coated. Accordingly, since the silicate-based glass composition containing an alkali oxide can ionize water in place of a surfactant contained in existing synthetic detergents, washing and cleaning capacity equivalent to or greater than existing synthetic detergents can be secured with alkaline water ionized from water.

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.
