High alkaline warewash detergent with enhanced scale control and soil dispersion

摘要

Detergent compositions and methods of preparing and using the detergent compositions are disclosed. The detergent compositions comprise a polymer system comprising at least one polycarboxylic acid polymer, copolymer, or terpolymer, an alkalinity source comprising an alkali metal carbonate, a nonionic surfactant and water. The detergent compositions are suitable at alkaline pH and reduce or prevent scale formation, improve soil dispersion, and provide effective detergency.

1. A concentrated detergent comprising:
from about 0.01 wt. % and about 20 wt. % of a polymer system comprising
(a) a polymaleic acid homopolymer in an amount of about 25 wt. % to about 55 wt. % of the polymer system;(b) an acrylic acid copolymer in an amount of about 25 wt. % to about 55 wt. % of the polymer system;(c) a maleic anhydride/olefin copolymer in an amount of about 5 wt. % to about 35 wt. % of the polymer system; an alkalinity source comprising an alkali metal carbonate; a nonionic surfactant; and water; wherein said detergent has an alkaline pH.
