Abstract:
1. A composition comprising: a) one or more hydrophobically modified polyol compounds comprising from 5 to 11 hydroxy moieties, wherein at least one hydroxy moiety further comprises an alkoxy moiety selected from the group consisting of ethoxy, propoxy, butoxy and mixtures thereof; wherein at least one of the hydroxy moieties, at least one alkoxy moiety, and combinations thereof, further comprise an anionic capping unit such that about 5% to 100% of the hydroxy moieties, at least one alkoxy moiety, and combinations thereof, comprise an anionic capping unit wherein the hydrophobically modified polyol compound is derived from maltitol, sucrose, xylitol, pentaerythritol, glucose, maltose, matotriose, maltodextrin, maltopentose, maltohexose, isomaltulose, sorbitol, xylan, polyglycerol, diglycerol ether and mixtures thereof; b) a surfactant system comprising from about 9% to about 25% by weight of the composition of a C8-C18 linear alkyl benzene sulfonate and from 0.01% to about 7% by weight of the composition of a co-surfactant selected from the group consisting of nonionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, and mixtures thereof; wherein the nonionic surfactant is selected from the group consisting of C12-C18 alkyl ethoxylates; C6-C12 alkyl phenol alkoxylates, wherein the alkoxylate units are a mixture of ethyleneoxy and propyleneoxy units; C12-C18 alcohol and C6-C12 alkyl phenol condensates with ethylene oxide/propylene oxide block alkyl polyamine ethoxylates; C14-C22 mid-chain branched alcohols; C14-C22 mid-chain branched alkyl alkoxylates; alkylpolysaccharides; polyhydroxy fatty acid amides; ether capped poly(oxyalkylated) alcohol surfactants; water-soluble amine oxides containing one alkyl moiety of from about 10 to about 18 carbon atoms and 2 moieties selected from the group consisting of alkyl groups and hydroxyalkyl groups containing from about 1 to about 3 carbon atoms; water-soluble phosphine oxides containing one alkyl moiety of from about 10 to about 18 carbon atoms and 2 moieties selected from the group consisting of alkyl groups and hydroxyalkyl groups containing from about 1 to about 3 carbon atoms; and water-soluble sulfoxides containing one alkyl moiety of from about 10 to about 18 carbon atoms and a moiety selected from the group consisting of alkyl and hydroxyalkyl moieties of from about 1 to about 3 carbon atoms; and wherein the cationic surfactant is selected from the group consisting of alkoxylate quaternary ammonium surfactants, dimethyl hydroxyethyl quaternary ammonium surfactant, dimethyl hydroxyethyl lauryl ammonium chloride; polyamine cationic surfactants, cationic ester surfactants, and amino surfactants, specifically amido propyldimethyl amine.
