LOW VOC CONTENT WATERLESS CLEANER AND ARTICLE IMPREGNATED THEREWITH

摘要

A hand cleaning article is provided that includes a towel presenting two opposing surfaces. A hand cleaning composition is impregnated into the towel and includes a first non-ionic surfactant that is a C12-C15 alkyl ethoxylated alcohol having an average degree of ethoxylation of from 3 to 7. A solvent is present of a dibasic ester microemulsion, R1—C(O)N(CH3)2 where R1 is a C2-C20 alkane, C3-C20 alkene, C6-C20 diene, or R2—C(O)O—(CH2)n where a C1-C20 alkane, C3-C20 alkene, or C6-C20 diene, and n is an integer of between 1 and 10, or a combination of the dibasic ester microemulsion and R1—C(O)N(CH3) An organic co-solvent is provided of: a C4-C28 acid ester, C9-C16 hydrocarbons having a boiling in the range of 150° C. to 290° C., butyl 3-hydroxynutyrate, or a combination thereof. The majority of the composition is water.
