Cleaning Method For Polyethylene Terephthalate Containers

US Patent:
6554005, Apr 29, 2003
Filed:
Sep 25, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/668972
Inventors:
Bruce R. Cords - Eagan MN
Gerald K. Wichmann - Maple Grove MN
Guang-Jong Jason Wei - Mendota Heights MN
David D. McSherry - Minneapolis MN
Brandon L. Herdt - Farmington MN
Arturo Valencia - Edo de Mexico, MX
Assignee:
Ecolab Inc. - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
B08B 304
US Classification:
134 221, 134 2219, 134 251, 134 252, 134 254, 134 35, 510219, 510243, 510405, 510421, 510434, 510435, 510436, 510477, 510480
Abstract:
A method for cleaning polyethylene terephthalate containers including contacting the PET container with an alkaline wash solution having a temperature ranging of less than about 60Â C. is disclosed. The alkaline wash solution is formulated from a first concentrate, a second concentrate, an alkalinity source, and a balance of water. The first concentrate preferably has a first nonionic surfactant, a first builder, and acid in an amount effective to provide a phase stable solution. The second concentrate preferably has a second nonionic surfactant and a second builder. The first and second concentrate are present in the wash solution in a concentration ranging from about 0. 3 wt. % to 2. 0 wt. %. Preferably, the first nonionic surfactant has a cloud point ranging from about 5Â C. to 60Â C.

Thickened Hard Surface Cleaner

US Patent:
6630434, Oct 7, 2003
Filed:
May 21, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/862188
Inventors:
Michael E. Besse - Golden Valley MN
Richard O. Ruhr - Buffalo MN
Gerald K. Wichmann - Maple Grove MN
Timothy A. Gutzmann - Eagan MN
Assignee:
Ecolab Inc. - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
C11D 162
US Classification:
510197, 510202, 510210, 510218, 510220, 510234, 510237, 510247, 510253, 510384, 510503, 510504
Abstract:
A low viscosity aqueous cleaning composition provides increasing viscosity upon dilution which provides a high viscosity diluted cleaning composition having solvents compatible with the rod micelle thickener and the cleaning system that clings for an extended period of time in a thickened form containing cleaning system ingredients that can penetrate and remove hard baked-on soils on vertical surfaces in cleaning units. The composition contains active cleaning ingredients (acid, alkaline and enzyme) that, in combination with thickening systems, provide the useful properties. The thickened materials can be applied on cold or hot surfaces and can successfully penetrate, soften and remove baked-on food soil on a variety of surfaces including oven walls, doors and grills, baking dishes, utensils, etc. The material is applied in the form of a thick diluted liquid spray or hot foam directly to the hardened soil, is permitted to penetrate the soil, resulting softened soils are then easily removed by hot or cold water rinse or by mechanical action such as scrubbing, scraping or wiping.

Compositions And Methods For Mitigating Corrosion Of Applied Color Designs

US Patent:
6835702, Dec 28, 2004
Filed:
Nov 7, 2001
Appl. No.:
10/007491
Inventors:
Brandon Leon Herdt - Hastings MN
Gerald Kurt Wichmann - Maple Grove MN
David Arnold Halsrud - Minneapolis MN
Michel Marie Lawrence - Inver Grove Heights MN
Richard Eugene Steindorf - Big Lake MN
Assignee:
Ecolab Inc. - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
C11D 194
US Classification:
510219, 510222, 510228, 510229, 510235, 510237, 510421, 510433, 510435, 510436, 510467
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compositions and methods for mitigating corrosion of applied color designs on a bottle, or on another glass or ceramic item. More specifically the composition or method of the present invention can mitigate corrosion even in the presence of a known corrosive agent. The composition and methods of the invention employ one or more phosphates and one or more phosphonates at a ratio that reduces or minimizes corrosion of an applied color design.
