The present invention relates to the use of phosphated 2-propylheptanol or a phosphated 2-propylheptanol alkoxylate as a hydrotrope in aqueous alkaline solutions for a C-C-alcohol alkoxylate containing 1-20 ethyleneoxy units. It also relates to a phosphated 2-propylheptanol alkoxylate per se, and an alkaline cleaning composition comprising a C-C-alcohol alkoxylate containing 1-20 ethyleneoxy units and phosphated 2-propylheptanol and/or a phosphated 2-propylheptanol alkoxylate as a hydrotrope. The cleaning compositions may be used for industrial cleaning of hard surfaces, for example for vehicle cleaning or machine dishwashing.

Phosphated alcanol, its use as a hydrotrope and cleaning composition containing the compound

The present invention relates to an aqueous alkaline composition with good wetting ability, which composition is dilutable with water without exhibiting any phase separation. The composition contains a surface active nonionic alkylene oxide adduct of an alkyl-branched alcohol, with a good wetting ability, a hexyl glycoside and/or an octyliminodipropionate and a further surface active nonionic alkylene oxide adduct having an HLB-value according to Davies of at least 6.4. The Compositions may be used for the cleaning of hard surfaces, in scouring and mercerizing processes and for laundry.
