DETERGENT COMPOSITION CONTAINING SUDS BOOSTING CO-SURFACTANT AND SUDS STABILIZING SURFACE ACTIVE POLYMER

摘要

A detergent composition having improved sudsing profile comprising 0.2% to 6% by weight of a suds boosting co-surfactant having the formula R-O-(CH2CH2O)nSO3 - M+, wherein R is a branched or unbranched alkyl group having 8 to 16 carbon atoms, n is an integer from 0 to 3, M is a cation of alkali metal, alkaline earth metal or ammonium; 0.01% to 5% by weight of a surface active polymer having the properties: (i) the surface tension of a 39 ppm polymer solution in distilled water is from 40 mN/m to 65 mN/m as measured at 25°C by a tensiometer; and (ii) the viscosity of a 500 ppm polymer solution in distilled water is from 0.0009 to 0.003 Pa.S as measured at 25°C by a rheometer; and 6% to 15% by weight of a main surfactant system. The total surfactant level in the detergent composition is less than 20% and the phosphate and/or aluminosilicate builder level in the detergent composition is less than 15% by weight.
