Abstract The concentrates consist essentially of 35 to 55% by weight water, 10 to 30% by weight of an alkyl glycoside corresponding to the formula R 1 --O(G) n , in which R 1 is a C 8-22 alkyl radical, G is a glycose unit and n is a number of 1 to 10, 10 to 30% by weight of an alkyl sulfate corresponding to the formula R 2 --O--SO 3 X, in which R 2 is a C 8-22 alkyl radical and X is an alkali or ammonium ion, and 1 to 15% by weight of an alkane sulfonate corresponding to the formula ##STR1## in which R 3 and R 4 independently of one another represent C 1-18 alkyl radicals, with the proviso that the total number of carbon atoms in the alkane sulfonate is between 10 and 20, and Y is an alkali or ammonium ion. They are used as storable, free-flowing and pumpable compounds, preferably for the production of detergents.
An aqueous, free-flowing and pumpable surfactant mixture consisting essentially of from about 35% to about 55% by weight of water; from about 10% to about 30% by weight of an alkyl polyglycoside of the formula I R.sup.1 --O(G).sub.n (I) wherein R 1 is a C 8-22 alkyl radical, G is a glycose unit and n is a number from 1 to 10; from about 10% to about 20% by weight of an alkyl sulfate of the formula II R.sup.2 --O--SO.sub.3 X (II) wherein R 2 is a C 8-22 alkyl radical and X is an alkali metal or ammonium ion; and from about 1% to about 15% by weight of an alkane sulfonate of the formula III ##STR3## wherein each of R 3 and R 4 is independently a C 1-18 alkyl radical, Y is an alkali metal or ammonium ion, with the proviso that the total number of carbon atoms in said alkane sulfonate is from about 10 to about 20.
