Uses of a modified polyol compound having alkoxylation and having at least one anionic capping unit.

The articles, compositions, and kits of the present invention are useful for conditioning fabric.

Polyol polyesters useful as nondigestible fat substitutes are prepared by improved heterogeneous interesterification processes between fatty acid esters of easily removable alcohol and polyol characterized by having one or more improvements such as using low levels of soap emulsifying agent, catalyst, and/or excess fatty acid ester; reducing the size of the polyol by mechanical means; removing extraneous particulate material during the reaction; using low temperature and/or high pressure and com...

A polyol polymeric structure comprising a bleach activating moiety to give benefits in detergent compositions such as bleaching action, soil suspension, increased surfactant availability in the presence of free hardness.

A polyol polymeric structure comprising a bleach activating moiety to give benefits in detergent compositions such as bleaching action, soil suspension, increased surfactant availability in the presence of free hardness.

The present invention relates to improved processes for selectively chlorinating acyl compounds at the alpha or 2-position. The process of the present invention comprises a method of producing alpha-chloro acyl chlorides comprising contacting an acyl chloride with a chlorine source at a temperature of about 75.degree. C. to about 125.degree. C. in the presence of (i) an effective amount of an auxiliary acidic agent and (ii) an effective amount of a food grade antioxidant and optionally (iii) an ...

A process for purifying a lipophilic fluid employing a functionalized fabric treating agent. The functionalized fabric treating agent is capable of delivering fabric treating benefits in a non-aqueous fabric article treatment process and is designed for easy removal from the non-aqueous solvent after the fabric article treatment process. Laundry soils can also be removed by this process. The present invention also relates to a fabric treatment composition containing the functionalized fabric tre...

A process for purifying dry cleaning solvents from a mixture containing used dry cleaning solvents and contaminants, such as laundry soils, fabric treating agents.

Compositions for treating fabric articles, especially articles of clothing, linens and drapery, wherein the compositions provide improved cleaning of soils from and/or care of and/or treatment of fabric articles, especially while providing superior garment care for articles sensitive to water as compared to conventional fabric article treating compositions, are provided.

A method for purifying dry cleaning solvents containing laundry soils. The method employs membrane filtration to enhance the separation of the contaminants from the dry cleaning solvent.
