BINARY SURFACTANT SYSTEMS FOR DEVELOPING EXTENSIONAL VISCOSITY IN CLEANING COMPOSITIONS

摘要

The present invention relates to cleaning compositions having a viscoelastic rheology and, in particular; to hypochlorite compositions having a viscoelastic rheology, which compositions are formulated to have optimized viscosity together with optimized elasticity. The present invention affords a range of rheologies for simultaneously achieving optimal viscosity and optimal elasticity. The inventive compositio n also provides, when formulated as a drain opener, the advantage of ready penetration through standing water, as well as adherence to partial clogs.
