Abstract 948,240. Liquid detergent compositions. PROCTER & GAMBLE CO. May 25, 1962 [May 27, 1961], No. 20227/62. Heading C5D. An aqueous non-alcoholic detergent composition comprises by weight (a) 20-40% of a mixture of (i) one or more C9-18-alkyl benzene sulphonates, preferably sodium dodecylbenzene sulphonate, and (ii) one or more C10-18-alkyl polyoxyethylene sulphates having 2-4 ethylene oxide units in the molecule, preferably coconut alcohol tri-(oxyethylene) sulphate, the cations present in (i) and (ii) being sodium and/or potassium and/or ammonium and the weight ratio of (i) to (ii) being preferably 0.5: 1 to 3 : 1 and most suitably about 1:1; (b) 0.5-5% of a C10-16-fatty acyl alkanolamide, preferably coconut monoethanolamide; (c) 6-18% of sodium and/or potassium and/or ammonium toluene and/or xylene sulphonates, a 2:1 mixture by weight of potassium toluene sulphonate and sodium xylene sulphonate being preferred; and (d) the balance being substantially water. Perfume, colour, optical bleach, anti-tarnish agents, opacifiers, oxidizing agents and buffers may also be present.
A LIQUID DETERGENT COMPOSITION WHICH CONSISTS ESSENTIALLY OF ABOUT 10 TO 18% BY WEIGHT OF A MIXTURE OF AN ALKALI METAL HIGHER ALKYL MONONUCLEAR ARYL SULFONATE DETERGENT SALT, SAID HIGHER ALKYL GROUP HAVING ABOUT 8 TO 15 CARBONATOMS, AN ALKALI METAL ALKYL PHENOXY POLYETHOXAMER SULFATE SALT MATERIAL, SAID ALKYL GROUP HAVING ABOUT 8 TO 13 CARBON ATOMS AND SAID POLYETHOXAMER SULFATE HAVING AN AVERAGE OF ABOUT 4 TO ABOUT 10 MOLES OF ETHYLENE OXIDE, SAID POLYETHOXAMER SULFATE SALT MATERIAL HAVING A PURITY OF AT LEAST ABOUT 75% BY WEIGHT BASED ON THE TOTAL ORGANIC SOLIDS IN SAID MATERIAL, THE RATIO OF SAID ALKYL ARYL SULFONATE TO POLYETHOXAMER SULFATE BEING FROM ABOUT 6.5:1 TO ABOUT 1:4 BY WEIGHT; TOTAL OF ABOUT 10 TO 20% BY WEIGHT OF WATER-SOLUBLE INORGANIC BUILDER SALTS WITH AT LEAST ABOUT 10% OF POTASSIUM POLYPHOSPHATE BY WEIGHT OF THE COMPOSITION, ABOUT 6 TO 12% BY WEIGHT OF WATER-SOLUBLE HYDROTROPIC SALT SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF ALKYL BENZENE SULFONATES HAVING UP TO ABOUT 3 CARBONS IN THE ALKYL GROUP AND ALKYL SULFATES HAVING ABOUT 5 TO 6 CARBONS IN SAID ALKYL GROUP, AND THE BALANCE CONTAINING PRIMARILY WATER, THE COMPOSITION CONTAINING SAID INGREDIENTS HAVING A SOLID CONTENT OF UP TO ABOUT 50% BY WEIGHT AND FORMING A HOMOGENEOUS, POURABLE, CLEAR LIQUID AT ROOM TEMPERATURE.
