LIQUID DETERGENTS WITH N-ALKOXY OR N-ARYLOXY POLYHYDROXY FATTY ACID AMIDE SURFACTANTS

摘要

Liquid laundry detergent compositions comprising conventional anionic surfactants, various optional detersive adjuncts such as builders, enzymes, brighteners and the like, together with fluid carriers are prepared using N-alkoxy or N-aryloxy polyhydroxy fatty acid amide surfactants. Amide surfactants such as the palm oil fatty acids of N-(3-methoxypropyl) glucamide and N-(2-methoxyethyl) glucamide are also employed in anionic-free liquid detergents, which are characterized by their good cleaning performance and relatively low viscosities, even in concentrated form.
