Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 179 words
A detergent composition wherein the active surfactant ingredients consist essentially of from about 1 to 30% by weight of the total composition of a modified rosin ester of the formula ##STR17## wherein R is hydrogen, alkyl containing from about 8 to 22 carbon atoms, hydroxyalkyl containing from about 8 to 22 carbon atoms, sorbitan monoesters of fatty acids containing from 8 to 22 carbon atoms or alkyl phenoxy containing from about 8 to 22 carbon atoms; X is hydrogen or an alkali metal salt; A is CH 2 --CH 2 --O or ##STR18## and n is an integer from 4; and from about 0.5 to 30.0% by weight of the total composition of at least one additional surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic, nonionic, cationic and amphoteric surfactants with the proviso that the total amount of active surfactant ingredients should not be greater than about 40% by weight of the total composition and the proviso that the total amount of anionic and amphoteric surfactants should not be greater than about 20% by weight of the total composition.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 179 words
A detergent composition wherein the active surfactant ingredients consist essentially of from about 1 to 30% by weight of the total composition of a modified rosin ester of the formula ##STR17## wherein R is hydrogen, alkyl containing from about 8 to 22 carbon atoms, hydroxyalkyl containing from about 8 to 22 carbon atoms, sorbitan monoesters of fatty acids containing from 8 to 22 carbon atoms or alkyl phenoxy containing from about 8 to 22 carbon atoms; X is hydrogen or an alkali metal salt; A is CH 2 --CH 2 --O or ##STR18## and n is an integer from 4; and from about 0.5 to 30.0% by weight of the total composition of at least one additional surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic, nonionic, cationic and amphoteric surfactants with the proviso that the total amount of active surfactant ingredients should not be greater than about 40% by weight of the total composition and the proviso that the total amount of anionic and amphoteric surfactants should not be greater than about 20% by weight of the total composition.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 59 words
The composition of claim 1 containing from about 2 to 10% by weight of the total composition of an anionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of alkylsulfate, alkylether sulfate, alkylmonoglyceryl ether sulfonate, alkylmonoglyceride sulfate, alkylmonoglyceride sulfonate, alkyl sulfonate, alkylaryl sulfonate, alkyl sulfosuccinate, alkyl sarcosinate, acyl isothionate, alkyl methyl tauride, fatty acid protein condensate and an alcohol ether carboxylate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 55 words
The composition of claim 1 containing from about 1 to 30% by weight of the total composition of a nonionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of alkylene oxide ethers of phenols, fatty alcohols, and alkyl mercaptans; alkylene oxide esters of fatty acid amides and condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial fatty acid esters.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 42 words
The composition of claim 1 containing from about 0.5 to 3% of weight of the total composition of a cationic surfactant selected from the group consisting of mono- and bis-quaternary ammonium halides, tertiary amine salts, cationic polymers and triesters of phosphoric acid.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 35 words
The composition of claim 1 containing from about 2 to 10% by weight of the total composition of an amphoteric surfactant selected from the group consisting of betaines, sultaines, n-alkylaminopropionates, n-alkylimino-dipropionates, phosphobetaines, phosphitaines, and imidazolines.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 15 words
The composition of claim 1 having a pH range of from about 7.2 to 8.1.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 20 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the modified rosin ester is of the formula ##STR19## wherein R is sorbitan monopalmitate.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 15 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the modified rosin ester is of the formula ##STR20##
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 20 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the modified rosin ester is of the formula ##STR21## wherein R is sorbitan monococoate.
