PHASE SEPARATED DETERGENT COMPOSITION

摘要

An emulsified detergent composition is provided. The detergent composition comprises from about 0.1 % to about 70 %, by weight of the detergent composition, of a detersive surfactant wherein at least from about 70 % to about 90 %, by weight of the detersive surfactant, is a nonionic surfactant. The detergent composition also includes an electrolyte, in an amount sufficient to render the cloud point of the detergent composition to be less than about 20 DEG C, and water. The detersive surfactant and the water are in two phases in a weight ratio of about 1:10 to about 10:1 in the detergent composition. Superior cleaning and stain removal results because the emulsified detergent composition provides separation of the water and surfactant phases in a low water wash system over a broad temperature range and allows for cleaning below the cloud point of the surfactant system.
