摘要

Polyethylene glycol ethers of the general formula (I> R1O-(CH2CH2O)n-R2 (I> in which… R1 is a straight-chain or branched alkyl or alkenyl radical with 20 to 28 C atoms,… R2 is an alkyl radical with 4 to 8 C atoms and… n is a number from 6 to 20,… are employed as foam-suppressant additives for low-foam cleaning agents.
