Abstract
Abstract A built anionic detergent composition having an inverse foam to temperature relationship is disclosed, as well as a ternary composition for accomplishing this relationship when added to a detergent system. The inverse foam to temperature relationship is provided by a synergistic mixture of a C8-C30 fatty acid, a polyethoxylated mono higher fatty alkyl quaternary ammonium halide, nitrate or sulfate containing about 10 to 50 mols of ethylene oxide and an oxazoline having the formula: WHERE R is C15 to C21 alkyl.
