Abstract:
1. A surfactant composition comprising one or more surfactant derivatives of isomers of an assymetric acyclic detergent alcohol having a total of 11, 16, or 21 carbon atoms and two, three, four or five methyl or ethyl branches or mixtures thereof, wherein the assymetric acyclic detergent alcohol has a backbone comprising the longest carbon chain having n carbon atoms and a hydroxyl group attached to the terminal carbon of the backbone and one of the methyl or ethyl branches is attached to the n−1 carbon atom on the backbone and another of the methyl or ethyl branches is attached to the n−5 carbon atom on the backbone, and wherein the surfactant derivatives are selected from the group consisting of cationic surfactants, zwitterionic surfactants, amine oxide surfactants, alkylpolyglycoside surfactants, soaps, fatty acids, di-long-chain alkyl cationic surfactants and mixtures thereof.
