Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
169 words
A high foaming, light duty, liquid detergent comprising approximately, by weight, (a)10 % to 25 % of a water soluble nonionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of primary and secondary C₈-C₁₈ alkanol condensates with 5 to 30 moles of ethylene oxide, condensates of C₈-C₁₈ alkylphenol with 5 to 30 moles of ethylene oxide, condensates of C₈-C₂₀ alkanol with a heteric mixture of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide having a weight ratio of ethylene oxide to propylene oxide from 2.5:1 to 4:1 and a total alkylene oxide content of 60% to 85% by wieght and condensates of 2 to 30 moles of ethylene oxide with sorbitan mono and tri- C₁₀-C₂₀ alkanoic acid esters having an HLB of 8 to 15; (b) 2 % to 12 % of a water-soluble betaine; and (c) 8 to 16 % of an ethoxylated alkyl ester sulfate; and (d) balance being water as an aqueous medium in which said nonionic surfactant, said ethoxylated alkyl ether sulfate and said betaine are solubilized in said water.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
40 words
A liquid detergent composition according to Claim 1 further including 1.0 to 15% of a cosolubilizing agent selected from the group consisting of C₂-C₃ monoand di-hydroxy alkanols, water soluble salts of C₁-C₃, alkyl substituted benzene sulfonate hydrotropes and mixtures thereof.

Dependent Claim
183 words
A high foaming, nonionic surfactant-based, light duty, liquid detergent comprising approximately, by weight: (a) 10% to 20% of a water soluble nonionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of primary and secondary C₈-C₁₈ alkanol condensates with 5 to 30 moles of ethylene oxide, condensates of C₈-C₁₈ alkylphenol with about 5 to 30 moles of ethylene oxide, condensates of C₈-C₂₀ alkanol with a heteric mixture of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide having a weight ratio of ethylene oxide to propylene oxide from about 2.5:1 to 4:1 and a total alkylene oxide content of 60% to 85% by weight and condensates of about 2 to 30 moles of ethylene oxide with sorbitan mono and tri-C₁₀-C₂₀ alkanoic acid esters having an HLB of 8 to 15; (b) 8 to 16 % of a magnesium salt of an ethoxylated (C₈-C₁₈)alkyl ether sulfate surfactant; (c) 0.5 to 8% of an alkali metal or ammonium salt of a C₈-C₁₄ alkyl sulfate surfactant; (d) 2 to 10% of a water-soluble betaine surfactant; and (e) balance being water as an aqueous medium in which said surfactants are solubilized in said water.
