Lower alkyl glycosides to reduce viscosity in aqueous liquid detergents

摘要

Lower alkyl glycosides are added to aqueous liquid detergents to reduce their viscosity and to prevent phase separation. The glycosides are represented by the formula R-O-(G)n where "R" is a lower alkyl group having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, "O" is an oxygen atom, "G" is a saccharide unit, and "n" is a number from 1 to 10. The glycosides comprise about 1 to 10 weight percent of the detergents.
