Abstract
Disclosed are concentrated alkaline liquid detergent compositions suitable for dilution with hard or de-ionized water. The compositions can be stored before and after dilution for prolonged periods at temperatures ranging from about 40.degree. F. (4.degree. C.) to about 100.degree. F. (38.degree. C.) without precipitates forming. The compositions contain a maleic acid-olefin copolymer, a detergent surfactant, a solvent/buffer system comprising beta-aminoalkanol and/or monoethanolamine, and less than about 85% water. The copolymer acts as a crystallization inhibitor and is uniquely soluble in the concentrated liquid detergent compositions.
