SILICONE-BASED HARD SURFACE CLEANER

摘要

A solvent based upon a volatile silicone (cyclomethicone) which has a prime utility of removing soap scum or alkaline earth oxide stearates. The composition is utilized as a bi-composition of dimethylsiloxane or cyclomethicone and Silwet L-77 (Union Carbide), a polyalkylene oxide modified dimethyl polysiloxane. The addition of glutaric acid to the composition adds a dicarboxylic acid which assists in emulsifying and loosening soil and in providing an optimum pH aqueous solution. A preferred formula is given below and additional operative acids are citric and hydrochloric acids: By weight 1 % Cyclomethicone 2 % Silwet L-77 (Union Carbide) 3 % Glutaric Acid 94 % Water i
