<p>The invention relates to a surfactant composition comprising: (a) from about 40 percent to about 90 percent by weight of an organic sulfate or sulfonate in the acid form containing from about 8 to about 22 carbon atoms in the anionic portion of the molecule; and (b) a sufficient amount to neutralize component (a) of an amine selected from the group consisting of: N,N,N-tris-(2-hydroxypropyl)amine; N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-(2-hydroxybutyl)amine; N-(2-hydroxybutyl)-N-(3-hydroxy-2-methyl-propyl)amine; N-(2-hydroxypropyl)-N-(butyl)amine; N-(2-hydroxypropyl)-N-(2-hydroxybutyl)amine; and 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)-2,2',2"-nitrilotri-ethanol and mixtures thereof, (c) from about 10 percent to about 60 percent by weight of an alkoxylated nonionic surfactant. The surfactant is useful in a wide range of products including detergents and has improved viscosity and clarity.</p> |
