Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
69 words
A color-stabilized nonionic surfactant composition consisting of a nonionic surfactant which contains chemically bonded polyalkylene oxide groups having terminal hydroxyl groups and in which is dissolved 0.1 to 5% by weight of a color stabilizing additive selected from the group consisting of C 1 -C 4 alkyl esters of C 4 -C 8 alkyl dicarboxylic acids, mixtures thereof, and a mixture of C 4 -C 8 alkyl dicarboxylic acids.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
69 words
A color-stabilized nonionic surfactant composition consisting of a nonionic surfactant which contains chemically bonded polyalkylene oxide groups having terminal hydroxyl groups and in which is dissolved 0.1 to 5% by weight of a color stabilizing additive selected from the group consisting of C 1 -C 4 alkyl esters of C 4 -C 8 alkyl dicarboxylic acids, mixtures thereof, and a mixture of C 4 -C 8 alkyl dicarboxylic acids.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
The color-stabilized nonionic surfactant of claim 1 wherein the color stabilizing additive is a C 1 -C 4 alkyl ester of a C 4 -C 8 alkyl dicarboxylic acid.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
68 words
Cleaning agent formulation consisting essentially of from 70 to 99% by weight of inorganic alkaline builder and from 30 to 1% by weight of nonionic surfactant containing chemically bonded polyalkylene oxide groups having terminal hydroxyl groups, said surfactant containing dissolved 0.1 to 5%, based on nonionic surfactant, of C 4 -C 8 -aliphatic dicarboxylic acids, their C 1 -C 4 -alkyl esters or mixtures thereof, as color stabilizers.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
68 words
Cleaning agent formulation consisting essentially of from 70 to 99% by weight of inorganic alkaline builder and from 30 to 1% by weight of nonionic surfactant containing chemically bonded polyalkylene oxide groups having terminal hydroxyl groups, said surfactant containing dissolved 0.1 to 5%, based on nonionic surfactant, of C 4 -C 8 -aliphatic dicarboxylic acids, their C 1 -C 4 -alkyl esters or mixtures thereof, as color stabilizers.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
30 words
Cleaning agent formulation as claimed in claim 3 wherein the surfactant contains a mixture of succinic acid, glutaric acid and adipic acid, or a mixture of the corresponding methyl esters.
