Abstract

A composition for use on a hard surface. The composition has: (i) at least 7.5 wt. % of at least one surfactant selected; (ii) a transport rate factor of less than about 55 seconds; and (iii) an adhesion time of greater than about 8 hours.

First claim

We claim:

1. A composition for use on a hard surface, the composition comprising:
(i) at least 7.5 wt. % of at least one surfactant;
(ii) at least one adhesion promoter in an amount of about 20 to about 80 wt. %, wherein said adhesion promoter is one or more of substituted or unsubstituted, linear or branched, polyethylene glycol, cellulose, polysaccharide, natural or synthetic polymer, alginate, polyurethane, gelatine, pectine, oleyl amine, alkyl dimethyl amine oxide, alkyl ether sulfate, polyalkoxy substituted compounds, sulfonate, sulfate, stearate, and polyalkoxyalkane;
(iii) a transport rate factor of less than about 55 seconds, said transport rate factor being based on gradients in surface tension induced by said composition;
(iv) an adhesion time of greater than about 8 hours;
wherein either (a) said adhesion promoter can be one or more of said at least one surfactant, or if not (a), then (b) a second compound other than (i) is present which is said adhesion promoter, so that (a) or (b) provide adhesion of said composition to a hard surface to which the composition is applied; and

(v) at least one solvent wherein said at least one solvent is not water.

2. A composition according to claim 1 , the composition comprising a transport rate factor of from about 30 seconds to about 55 seconds.

3. A composition according to claim 2 , the composition comprising a transport rate factor of from about 30 seconds to about 40 seconds.

4. A composition according to claim 1 , the composition being selected from the group consisting of: gel and solid.

5. A composition according to claim 1 , the composition comprising from about 7.5 wt. % to about 20 wt. % surfactant.

6. A composition according to claim 1 , the surfactant being selected from the group consisting of: anionic, nonionic, cationic, amphoteric, zwitterionic, and combinations thereof.

7. A composition according to claim 6 , wherein the surfactant is anionic.

8. A gel composition for use on a hard surface, the composition comprising:
(i) less than 6 wt. % fragrance;
(ii) a transport rate factor of less than about 55 seconds, said transport rate factor being based on gradients in surface tension induced by said composition;
(iii) at least 7.5 wt. % of at least one surfactant;
(iv) at least one adhesion promoter in an amount of about 20 to about 80 wt. %, wherein said adhesion promoter is one or more of substituted or unsubstituted, linear or branched, polyethylene glycol, cellulose, polysaccharide, natural or synthetic polymer, alginate, polyurethane, gelatine, pectine, oleyl amine, alkyl dimethyl amine oxide, alkyl ether sulfate, polyalkoxy substituted compounds, sulfonate, sulfate, stearate, and polyalkoxyalkane; and
(v) at least one solvent wherein said at least one solvent is not water;
wherein either (a) said adhesion promoter can be one or more of said at least one surfactant, or if not (a), then (b) a second compound other than (i) is present which is said adhesion promoter, so that (a) or (b) provide adhesion of said composition to a hard surface to which the composition is applied;
wherein said composition is self-adhesive to a hard surface to which the composition is applied, is dimensionally stable on said hard surface, and has an adhesion time of greater than about 8 hours to said hard surface; and
wherein said composition is not manually sprayable.

9. A gel composition according to claim 8 , wherein the composition comprising a transport rate factor of from about 30 seconds to about 55 seconds.

10. A gel composition according to claim 8 , the composition further comprising a gel temperature of from about 50° C. to about 80° C.

11. A gel composition according to claim 8 , wherein the at least one surfactant is selected from the group consisting of: anionic, nonionic, cationic, amphoteric, zwitterionic, and combinations thereof.

12. A solid composition for use on a hard surface, the composition comprising:
(i) less than 10 wt. % fragrance;
(ii) a transport rate factor of less than about 55 seconds, said transport rate factor being based on gradients in surface tension induced by said composition;
(iii) about 7.5 wt. % to about 20 wt. % of at least one surfactant;
(iv) at least one adhesion promoter in an amount of about 20 to about 80 wt. %, wherein said adhesion promoter is one or more of substituted or unsubstituted, linear or branched, polyethylene glycol, cellulose, polysaccharide, natural or synthetic polymer, alginate, polyurethane, gelatine, pectine, oleyl amine, alkyl dimethyl amine oxide, alkyl ether sulfate, polyalkoxy substituted compounds, sulfonate, sulfate, stearate, and polyalkoxyalkane; and
(v) at least one solvent wherein said at least one solvent is not water;
wherein either (a) said adhesion promoter can be one or more of said at least one surfactant, or if not (a), then (b) a second compound other than (i) is present which is said adhesion promoter, so that (a) or (b) provide adhesion of said composition to a hard surface to which the composition is applied;
wherein said composition is self-adhesive to a hard surface to which the composition is applied, is dimensionally stable on said hard surface, and has an adhesion time of greater than about 8 hours to said hard surface.

13. A composition according to claim 12 , wherein the composition comprising a transport rate factor of from about 30 seconds to about 55 seconds.

14. A composition according to claim 12 , wherein the at least one surfactant is selected from the group consisting of: anionic, nonionic, cationic, amphoteric, zwitterionic, and combinations thereof.

15. A composition for use on a hard surface, the composition comprising:
(i) at least 7.5 wt. % of at least one surfactant;
(ii) less than about 10 wt. % fragrance;
(iii) a transport rate factor of less than about 55 seconds, said transport rate factor being based on gradients in surface tension induced by said composition;
(iv) at least one adhesion promoter in an amount of about 20 to about 80 wt. %, wherein said adhesion promoter is one or more of substituted or unsubstituted, linear or branched, polyethylene glycol, cellulose, polysaccharide, natural or synthetic polymer, alginate, polyurethane, gelatine, pectine, oleyl amine, alkyl dimethyl amine oxide, alkyl ether sulfate, polyalkoxy substituted compounds, sulfonate, sulfate, stearate, and polyalkoxyalkane; and
(v) at least one solvent wherein said at least one solvent is not water;
wherein either (a) said adhesion promoter can be one or more of said at least one surfactant, or if not (a), then (b) a second compound other than (i) is present which is said adhesion promoter, so that (a) or (b) provide adhesion of said composition to a hard surface to which the composition is applied, wherein said adhesion to said hard surface is for a time greater than 8 hours.
