A combination of sodium carbonate and a nonionic silicone surfactant and a nonionic surfactant in a solid block detergent

摘要

The alkaline ware-washing detergent composition comprises: a) an effective soil removing amount of sodium carbonate as the only source of alkalinity and b) an effective soil removing amount of a nonionic surfactant blend comprising: i) a nonionic surfactant comprising a hydrophobic group and an -(EO)x group with x being 1 to 100 and ii) a nonionic silicone surfactant comprising a hydrophobic silicone group and a pendent hydrophilic polyalkylene oxide group; wherein the detergent exhibits enhanced waxy-fatty soil removing capacity and in aqueous solution the detergent exhibits a surface tension at ambient room temperature of less than 0.035N/m.
