| 20100016205 | USE OF IONIC LIQUIDS AS AN ADDITIVE FOR CLEANING PROCESSES IN LIQUEFIED AND/OR SUPERCRITICAL GAS - The invention relates to the use of at least one ionic liquid or of a mixture of ionic liquids as a detergent for the cleaning of articles with a compressed gas. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20110306535 | Composition with UV protectant for restoration and preservation of PVC products - A composition for restoration and treatment of PVC materials is provided and the composition comprises: at least one plant based solvent; and at least one UV protectant, and the plant based solvent comprises from about 20% to about 95% of said composition and the UV protectant is from about 1% to about 15% of said composition. | 12-15-2011 |
| 20120165238 | Droplet-Based Surface Modification and Washing - The present invention relates to droplet-based surface modification and washing. According to one embodiment, a method of modifying a surface on a droplet microactuator is provided, wherein the method includes executing one or more droplet operations to bring a droplet comprising a surface-modifying agent into contact with the surface. According to another embodiment, a droplet microactuator is provided and includes a sample or reagent immobilized on a surface thereof and arranged such that a droplet on the droplet microactuator may contact the surface. According to yet another embodiment, a method of removing a substance from a surface to which the substance is bound is provided, the method including conducting one or more droplet operations to contact a droplet with the surface, the droplet comprising a solution for eluting the substance from the surface | 06-28-2012 |
| 20130281345 | NOVEL CLEANING METHOD - The invention provides a method and formulation for cleaning a soiled substrate, the method comprising the treatment of the moistened substrate with a formulation comprising a multiplicity of polymeric particles, wherein the polymeric particles comprise at least one antimicrobial agent. Preferably, the substrate is wetted so as to achieve a substrate to water ratio of between 1:0.1 to 1:5 w/w. Optionally, the formulation additionally comprises at least one additional cleaning agent and, in this embodiment, it is preferred that the polymeric particles are mixed with the at least one additional cleaning agent. Preferably, the additional cleaning material comprises a surfactant, which most preferably has detergent properties. Most preferably, the substrate comprises a textile fibre. Typically, the polymeric particles comprise particles of polyester or nylon, most preferably in the form of beads. The results obtained are very much in line with those observed when carrying out conventional aqueous cleaning processes and the method provides the significant advantage that the use of antimicrobial agents in or on the polymer bead greatly improves the overall hygiene in the washing machine by preventing mould and bacterial growth on the polymer particle surfaces, particularly at low temperatures. | 10-24-2013 |
| 20140073549 | DETERGENT COMPOSITION COMPRISING PHOSPHINOSUCCINIC ACID ADDUCTS AND METHODS OF USE - Detergent compositions effective for controlling hard water scale accumulation are disclosed. Detergent compositions employing phosphinosuccinic acid and mono-, bis- and oligomeric phosphinosuccinic acid (PSO) derivatives with alkali metal carbonate and/or alkali metal hydroxide reduce had water scale accumulation on treated surfaces at alkaline conditions between about pH of 9 and 12.5. Methods employing the detergent compositions and preventing hard water scale accumulation are also provided. | 03-13-2014 |
| 20140073550 | SOLIDIFICATION MATRIX COMPRISING PHOSPHINOSUCCINIC ACID DERIVATIVES - Stability enhancement agents for use in a solidification matrices and solid detergent compositions are described. Stability enhancement is provided by a hydratable salt, water and phosphinosuccinic acid (PSO) derivative binding agents forming a dimensionally stable composition. Preferred phosphinosuccinic acid (PSO) derivatives include phosphinosuccinic acid and mono-, bis- and oligomeric phosphinosuccinic acid (PSO) derivatives. The stability enhancement composition for use in a solid detergent and solid detergent compositions are preferably biodegradable and substantially free of phosphate and NTA-free. | 03-13-2014 |
| 20140121148 | Restoration and preservation formulation for polymeric products - A composition for restoration and treatment of polymeric materials and related methods of manufacture are provided; and the composition comprises: at least one solvent and at least one UV protectant, wherein the solvent is designed to soften a surface of the polymeric material and the UV protectant is designed to bond to the polymeric material to restore color and appearance of the polymeric material. | 05-01-2014 |
| 20150361380 | LEATHER AND/OR VINYL CLEANER AND MOISTURIZER AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME - The present invention comprises a hard surface cleaning and treatment composition with a synergistic combination of mild surfactants that makes the composition particularly suited for leather, synthetic leather, vinyl and stainless steel. The composition is gentle and non-damaging to leather and synthetic leather, and leaves no sticky residue. The composition can clean food soils such as mustard, ketchup, shortening and grease and requires no personal protective equipment when being used. In addition, a method of preserving a leather surface or article by contacting said surface with said substrate is disclosed as well as specific methods associated with making the composition to form a stable water in oil emulsion. | 12-17-2015 |
