Patent ID: 8809616

Claim:
A composition, comprising at least one cellulosic fiber; at least one urease inhibitor; at least one urease inhibitor stabilizer selected from the group consisting of polyethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, and mixtures thereof; water; and at least one activator selected from the group consisting of 2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidine 2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO), 4-hydroxy 2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (4-hydroxy TEMPO), 4-oxy-TEMPO, 4-acetamido-TEMPO, 4-phosphonooxy-TEMPO, N-hydroxybenzotriazole, N-hydroxymaleimide, N-hydroxysuccinamide, N-hydroxyphthalimide, hydroxybenzothiazole, oxa-benzotriazole, d-pyridine-triazole, aza-pyridine-triazole, violuric acid, benzotriazole-based UV absorber, hindered amine having the formula: where R 0 —O. radical, —OH, —O-phenyl substituted or unsubstituted —O-alkyl having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or —H, and where R 1 is hydrogen, oxo, hydroxy, acetoamido, or phosphonooxy group, and mixtures thereof; wherein the composition does not contain a biocide or an enzyme; and wherein a fluff pulp treated with at least one combination of urease inhibitor and activator achieves at least an 81% reduction of NH 3 after 12 hrs compared to the fluff pulp treated with the activator alone.
