Liquid detergent composition for hard surface and method for cleaning

A detergent composition, which exerts sufficient detergency and foaming power even in the presence of oily stains comprising an amide ether carboxylate component (a) and an amide ether component (b), wherein the weight ratio of the content of the component (a) to the content of the component (b) is from 0.1 to 100; the molar ratio of the total divalent metal salt ions (X) in the whole composition and to total anionic surfactants (Y) including the component (a) is from 0.025 to 10; and the composition contains substantially no glycerol or glycerol ether component (z) or the content of said component (z) is not more than 10% by weight based on the sum of the contents of the components (a), (b) and (z) as defined in the specification.

Amide ether carboxylate/amide ether detergent composition

2-hydroxypropanediamine derivative and detergent composition containing

This invention provides a liquid detergent composition comprising (A) a surface active agent, (B) a pearlescent agent, and (C) a viscosity modifier, which exhibits an opaque appearance and has a viscosity of 200-4,000 cps at 20.degree. C. bulk temperature and a Brookfield yield value of 5-100 p. This detergent composition can be squeezed from a container at a constant volume and can be perceived visually when applied onto a sponge without being soaked quickly into it so that it is not only economical since it prevents excess usage but also helps to prevent chapped hands or skin roughening.

Liquid detergent composition

A novel detergent composition containing an alkaline pullulanase is disclosed. The alkaline pullulanase has its optimum pH in an alkaline range and not deactivated by surfactants. Further it has strong resistance to almost all detergent components such as chelating agents, protease, etc. The the detergent composition of this invention has excellent detergency especially against starch soils.

Detergent composition containing alkaline pullylanase enzyme

A milky detergent composition for hard surfaces comprising the following components (a) and (b): (a) 1-50 wt. % of an alkylglycoside; and (b) 1-30 wt. % of one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of: (b-1) lipids selected from hydrocarbons, higher alcohols, fatty acids, waxes, cholesterol and cholesterol esters and having a melting point of 30.degree. C. or higher; (b-2) partial esters of aliphatic hydrocarbon polyols having a melting point of 30.degree. C. or higher and 2-9 carbon atoms with fatty acids having at least 13 carbon atoms on the average; and (b-3) partial ethers of aliphatic hydrocarbon polyols having a melting point of 30.degree. C. or higher and 2-9 carbon atoms with aliphatic hydrocarbons having at least 13 carbon atoms on the average the proportion of the component (b) to the component (a) ranging from 1/10 to 10/1 by weight, optionally containing at least one nitrogen-containing surfactant and/or an anionic surfactant.

Milky detergent composition for hard surfaces

A detergent composition containing an alkaline pullulanase, a surfactant, alkaline agents and/or inorganic electrolytes, divalent metal ion scavengers and bleaching agents is disclosed. The alkaline pullulanase has an optimum pH range of 8.5-10.0 on pullulan, an optimum temperature of about 50.degree. C. and is not deactivated by surfactants. Further, the pullulanase has a strong resistance to almost all detergent components such as chelating agents, proteases, etc. The pullulanase is isolated from Bacillus sp. KSM-AP 1378 deposited as FERM BP-3048. The composition specifically contains 0.1-10 wt. % alkaline pullulanase B, 0.5-60 wt. % surfactant, 0-90 wt. % alkaline agents and/or inorganic electrolytes, 0-50 wt. % divalent metal ion scavengers, and 0-85 wt. % bleaching agents.

Detergent composition containing an alkaline pullulanase from bacillus

A detergent composition comprises (a) an anionic or nonionic surfactant and (b) a dialkylamine oxide having the formula (I), a weight ratio of (a) to (b) ranging from 0.01 to 100, ##STR1## in which R1 and R2 each are an alkyl having 6 to 18 carbon atoms, an alkenyl having 6 to 18 carbon atoms, R3 is ethylene, isopropylene, n-propylene or a mixture thereof, R4 is an alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, a hydroxy alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, benzyl or hydrogen and n is a number of 1 to 20.

Detergent composition containing di-long chain alkyl amine oxides

A low irritant, mild detergent composition is disclosed. The detergent composition comprises, as essential components, (a) alkyl glycoside, (b) a surface active agent containing sulfate and/or sulfonate group, (c) an amine oxide, and (d) an ethoxylated surface active agent at a specific ratio. The detergent composition is low irritant, has excellent foaming ability and detergency, and yet is easily rinsed out and at the same time provides a pleasant feeling to the hands during use. It can be used as laundry detergents, dishwashing detergents, as well as detergents for use with household products, and hair and body. Further, a detergent composition comprising (e) a terpene type hydrocarbon and (f) 3-isothiazolone or its derivative in addition to the above components (a)-(d) is more valuable in practical use owing to preventing solution color and odor from being deteriorated during storage for a prolonged period of time.

Mild alkyl glycoside-based detergent compositions, further comprising

A concentrated detergent composition comprising the following components (a)-(d) was disclosed,

Containing a succinic acid derivative
