Abstract

Described are synergistically-effective compositions consisting essentially of zinc ricinoleate or solutions thereof and one or more of the substituted monocyclic organic compounds: 1-cyclohexylethan-1-yl butyrate; 1-cyclohexylethan-1-yl acetate; 1-cyclohexylethan-1-ol; 1-(4′-methylethyl)cyclohexylethan-1-yl propionate; and/or 2′-hydroxy-1′-ethyl(2-phenoxy)acetate and uses of same and compositions containing same for preventing and/or suppressing malodors. Also described for the purpose of application to an inanimate laminar substantially solid surface are malodor-suppressing composition-containing stick articles containing an ester-terminated polyamide or an amide-terminated polyamide structural support polymer in combination with the aforementioned synergistically-effective zinc ricinoleate-substituted monocyclic organic compound composition. Also described is a package for conveniently handling the aforementioned stick article.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A malodor reducing garbage bag system comprising, in combination, a garbage bag including an impermeable, flexible inelastic sheet constructed from a polyethylene material and including a side wall with a closed bottom and an open top; a malodor reducing composition impregnated within the sheet of the garbage bag. 
   
   
       2 . The malodor reducing garbage bag system of  claim 1  wherein the malodor reducing composition comprises ingredients selected from the group consisting of cyclohexanol, 4-isopropyl: propionate, cis;
 cyclohexanemethanol, alpha-methyl: acetate;   butyric acid: 1-cyclohexylethyl ester;   cyclohexanemethanol, alpha-methyl;   zinc ricinoleate;   and mixtures there of.   
   
   
       3 . The malodor reducing composition of  claim 2  wherein the composition comprises
 from about 2.8 weight % up to about 4.8 weight % of cyclohexanol, 4-isopropyl: propionate, cis;   from about 0.5 weight % up to about 2.5 weight % of cyclohexanemethanol, alpha-methyl: acetate;   from about 0.1 weight % up to about 1 weight % of butyric acid: 1-cyclohexylethyl ester;   from about 0.25 weight % up to about 1 weight % of cyclohexanemethanol, alpha-methyl; and   from about 1 weight % up to about 3 weight % of zinc ricinoleate.   
   
   
       4 . The malodor reducing composition of  claim 2  wherein the composition comprises
 about 3.8 weight % of cyclohexanol, 4-isopropyl: propionate, cis;   about 1.5 weight % of cyclohexanemethanol, alpha-methyl: acetate;   about 0.4 weight % of butyric acid: 1-cyclohexylethyl ester;   about 0.5 weight % up to about 1 weight % of cyclohexanemethanol, alpha-methyl; and   about 2 weight % of zinc ricinoleate.   
   
   
       5 . The malodor reducing composition of  claim 2  wherein the composition additionally comprises a solvent. 
   
   
       6 . The malodor reducing garbage bag system of  claim 1  wherein the garbage bag contains from about 1 to about 5 weight % of the malodor reducing composition. 
   
   
       7 . The malodor reducing garbage bag system of  claim 1  wherein the garbage bag contains about 2.5 weight % of the malodor reducing composition 
   
   
       8 . The malodor reducing garbage bag system of  claim 1  wherein the malodor intensity is reduced by about 20%. 
   
   
       9 . The malodor reducing garbage bag system of  claim 1  wherein the malodor intensity is reduced by about 30%. 
   
   
       10 . The malodor reducing garbage bag system of  claim 1  wherein the malodor intensity is reduced by about 40%. 
   
   
       11 . The malodor reducing garbage bag system of  claim 1  wherein the malodor intensity is reduced by about 50%. 
   
   
       12 . A substantially fragrance free odor blocking garbage bag system comprising, in combination, a garbage bag including an impermeable, flexible inelastic sheet constructed from a polyethylene material and including a side wall with a closed bottom and an open top; a malodor reducing composition impregnated within the sheet of the garbage bag. 
   
   
       13 . The garbage bag system of  claim 12  wherein the malodor reducing composition comprises ingredients selected from the group consisting of
