Abstract:
A detergent composition comprising:(a) from about 0.01% to about 50% by weight of the composition of surfactant, wherein said surfactant comprises an ether-capped poly(oxyalkylated) alcohol surfactant having the formula: RO(R1O)xR2 â€ƒwherein, R is selected from the group consisting of linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated, substituted or unsubstituled, aliphatic hydrocarbon radicals having from about 1 to about 30 carbon atoms; R1 may be the same or different, and is independently selected from the group consisting of branched or linear C2 to C7 alkylene in any given molecule; x is a number from 1 to about 30; R2 is selected from the group consisting of: (i) a 4 to 8 membered substituted, or unsubstituted heterocyclic ring containing from 1 to 3 hetero atoms; (ii) a 7 to 13 membered substituted, or unsubstituted polycyclic ring; (iii) a hydrocarbon of the formula: â€”(CH2)yâ€”X â€ƒwherein, y is an integer from 1 to 7, X is selected from the group consisting of: (A) a 4 to 8 membered substituted, or unsubstituted, saturated or unsaturated cyclic hydrocarbon radical; (B) a 4, 5, 7, or 8 membered substituted or unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon radical; (C) a 6 membered aromatic hydrocarbon radical wherein R is a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated, C9 to C30 aliphatic hydrocarbon radical; and (iv) a hydrocarbon radical of the formula: â€”C(CH3)2R3 â€ƒwherein R3 is selected from the group consisting of: (A) a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated, aliphatic hydrocarbon radical having from about 2 to about 30 carbon atoms; (B) methyl, wherein R is a branched saturated or unsaturated, aliphatic hydrocarbon radical having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms; (C) a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon radical having from about 15 to about 30 carbon atoms; and (b) from about 0.1% to about 99% by weight of the composition of an adjunct ingredient.
