A cleansing article having a substrate capable of absorbing and retaining a fluid therein, the substrate being impregnated with a cleaning composition containing a hydroxy mixed ether.

Wet wipes (I)

A process for making a surfactant composition having an improved dissolution rate in cold water involving: (a) providing a hydroxy mixed ether surfactant; (b) providing a disintegrator component; and (c) granulating and compacting the hydroxy mixed ether surfactant in the presence of the disintegrator component.

Tenside granules with improved disintegration rate

An aqueous laundry detergent composition containing a hydroxy mixed ether.

Liquid detergents

Detergent tablets comprising surfactant granules obtained by granulation and compaction of a nonionic surfactant, selected from the group consisting of hydroxy mixed ethers, in the presence of a disintegrant, are described.

Detergent tablets

The invention relates to surfactant mixtures of hydroxy mixed ethers and polymers, optionally together with typical ingredients of dishwashing detergents and cleaners and optionally other nonionic surfactants and anionic surfactants and to the use of such surfactant mixtures for the preparation of cleaning solutions with improved performance against resoiling.

Compositions containing hydroxy mixed ethers and polymers

Solid laundry detergents, dishwashing detergents and cleaners which are obtained by mixing gemini surfactants of the formula (I),RCH(OH)CHR(OCHCH)OCHRCH(OH)R&#x2003;&#x2003;(I)in which Rand R,independently of one another, are linear or branched alkyl and/or alkenyl radicals having 4 to 22 carbon atoms, Rand R, independent of one another, each represents a hydrogen or an alk(en)yl radical having from 1 to 22 carbon atoms and n is a number from 5 to 400, with inorganic or organic carriers.

Solid detergent compositions and methods of preparing the same

Solid composition useful for the production of dishwashing, laundry or cleaning compositions are comprised of (a) a hydroxy mixed ether of the formula (I)wherein Ris a linear or branched alkyl group having from 2 to 18 carbon atoms, Ris hydrogen or a linear or branched alkyl group having from 2 to 18 carbon atoms, Ris a linear or branched alkyl and/or alkenyl group having from 1 to 22 carbon atoms, each of n1 and n2 independently is a number from 0 to 60 and m is 0 or a number from 0.5 to 5, with the provisos that the total number of carbon atoms in the substituents Rand Ris at least 6 and the sum (n1+m+n2) is greater than 0; and (b) a polymer. The compositions according to the invention can optionally contain additional nonionic surfactants, carriers, auxiliaries and additives typically found in laundry detergents, dishwashing detergents and cleaning compositions.

Mixtures of gemini surfactants and fatty alcohol alkoxylates in rinse agents

Gemini surfactant compositions

A cleansing article having a substrate capable of absorbing and retaining a fluid therein, the substrate being impregnated with a cleaning composition containing a linear and/or branched alcohol polyglycol ether.

Moist wipes (II)

A cleansing article having a substrate capable of absorbing and retaining a fluid therein, the substrate being impregnated with a cleaning composition containing a mixed ether.

Wet wipes (III)

The invention relates to gemini surfactants, optionally in combination with ingredients customary in dishwashing detergents and cleaners, optionally with further nonionic surfactants and anionic surfactants, and to the use of such gemini surfactants for improving the wetting behavior and the compatibility with plastics, for the simplified preparation of solid cleaners and as foam-suppressing surfactant in rinse aid formulations.
