Suds control agents

Ether carboxylates are used not only in powdered detergents but in liquid laundry detergents for their hard water stability, lime soap dispersibility, and electrolyte stability they improve the suspension stability and rheology of the electrolyte builder [130,131]. Formulations based particularly on lauryl ether carboxylate + 4.5 EO combined with fatty acid salt and other anionic surfactants are described [132], sometimes in combination with quaternary compounds as softeners [133,163]. Ether carboxylates show improved cleaning properties as suds-controlling agents in formulations with ethoxylated alkylphenol or fatty alcohol, alkyl phosphate esters or alkoxylate phosphate esters, and water-soluble builders [134]. 

Suds control agents. Components in the formulation that act to stabilize or suppress sudsing (foaming). For examples, alkylamine oxides can be added to promote or stabilize sudsing, whereas silicones can be added to suppress sudsing (defoaming). 

These low-foaming ethoxylated polyoxypropylene glycols of different molecular weights are designed to meet a variety of low-foam conditions. Members of this series find use as defoamers, dedusters and emulsifiers. They are used in rinse aids, machine dishwashing and laundry detergents as suds control agents. 

Light-duty or gel dishwashing compositions containing an alkyl ether sulfate-based anionic surfactant, polyhydroxy fatty acid amide nonionic surfactant, suds boosters/stabilizers, aqueous liquid carrier, pH control agent, and acrylic copolymer thickener are disclosed in U.S. Patent 6,274,539.

There is strong evidence that bipolar disorder is associated with SUD in adolescents (Wilens et ah, 1999) and that pharmacological interventions are an effective treatment for youth with SUD and bipolar disorder. Two studies, including one randomized controlled study, have reported that mood stabilizers, specifically lithium and valproic acid (Depakote), significantly reduced substance use in bipolar youth (Donovan and Nunes, 1996 Geller et ah, 1998). In addition, these agents are considered effective agents for the treatment...
