THE USE OF AN ETHOXYLATED ALCOHOL AS A HYDROTROPE FOR AN ALKYLENE OXIDE ADDUCT OF AN ALCOHOL

摘要

The present invention relates to the use of an ethoxylated alcohol having the formula RO(EO)bY (I) wherein R is a hydrocarbyl group having 8-11 carbon atoms, EO is an ethyleneoxy unit, b = 11-35, and Y is H, -R1 or -C(O)R1, where R1 is a C1 -C4 alkyl group; as a hydrotrope for an alkylene oxide adduct of an alcohol in aqueous solutions. It also relates to a composition comprising said ethoxylated alcohol (I) and said alkylene oxide adduct of an alcohol, and the use of this composition for the cleaning of hard surfaces.
