Improved compositions which clean a surface and are believed to deposit thereupon a layer of cationic surfactant which assists the release of soil subsequently deposited upon the said surface comprising surfactant, wherein said surfactant comprises: a) at least 65% wt on total surfactant of nonionic surfactant, b) less than 1% wt on total surfactant of anionic surfactant, and, c) 0.1-35% wt on total surfactant of a quaternized polydimethylsiloxane, preferably one which comprises a cation of the general formula: [R.sub.1 R.sub.2 R.sub.3 N--Z--[Si(CH.sub.3).sub.2 --O].sub.n Si(CH.sub.3).sub.2 --Z--NR.sub.4 R.sub.5 R.sub.6 ].sup.2+ wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 are independently alkyl or hydrogen, Z is --CH.sub.2 --CHOH--CH.sub.2 O--(CH.sub.2).sub.3 -- and n is 1-200.
A treatment composition for making acquisition fluff pulp in sheet form, having a cross-linking agent and an anti-hydrogen-bonding agent. The cross-linking agent may be a polycarboxylic acid, aldehyde, urea-based derivatives or a mixture thereof. The anti-hydrogen-bonding agent may be a silicon polymer terminated with at least one quaternary amine functional group. A method of making acquisition fluff pulp using the treatment composition involves treating a cellulosic base fiber with a treatment composition solution to impregnate the fiber with the treatment composition, and then drying and curing the impregnated fiber. The resultant acquisition fluff pulp may be utilized in an acquisition layer and/or an absorbent core of an absorbent article intended for body waste management.
The present invention relates to a cleansing composition based on the composition of lachrymal fluid. The cleansing composition comprises an ionic aqueous base containing one or more electrolytes, a basic protein or amino acid, and optionally, a mucomimetic compound and a lysozyme. The cleansing composition is gentle to both skin and eyes, and is highly effective in removing even transfer-resistant makeup.
A process and a composition are disclosed for producing surfaces that are self-cleaning by water, and in particular, there is disclosed an aqueous system for forming transparent self-cleaning surfaces. In the process, an aqueous mixture comprising (i) nanoparticles having a particle size of less than 300 nanometers and (ii) a surface modifier selected from the group consisting of water-soluble hydrophobic surface modifiers and water-dispersable hydrophobic surface modifiers capable of forming a continuous film from an aqueous solution is provided. The aqueous mixture is applied to a surface, and a self-cleaning transparent coating is formed on the surface upon water evaporation. In one embodiment, the aqueous mixture is essentially free of organic solvents other than coalescing solvents.
A composition containing a silicone-containing polymer for cleaning fabric articles, especially articles of clothing, linen and drapery, with lipophilic fluid provides improved cleaning of soils while providing excellent garment care, especially for articles sensitive to water.
