PROCESS OF MAKING A LIQUID CLEANING COMPOSITION

摘要

In a process of making a liquid cleaning composition, adding a gel breaker upstream of an anionic surfactant addition in the recirculatory loop of a recirculatory batch processor mitigates the viscous hexagonal phase whilst providing maximum flexibility in formulating various ingredients in the composition.

主权项

1. A process of making a liquid cleaning composition, comprising the steps of:
a) providing a recirculatory batch processor,
wherein said recirculatory batch processor comprises: i) a batch container containing a liquid composition precursor; and ii) a recirculatory loop in fluid communication with said batch container, recirculating at least a portion of said liquid composition precursor; b) dispensing a first anionic surfactant into said loop at a first loop location while at least a portion of said liquid composition precursor is recirculating,
wherein said first anionic surfactant is selected from the group consisting of alkyl sulfate (AS), alkyl ethoxy sulfate (AES), and a combination thereof; and c) dispensing a gel breaker into said loop at a second loop location while at least a portion of said liquid composition precursor is recirculating, wherein said second loop location is upstream of said first loop location,thereby making the liquid cleaning composition.
