摘要

LOW-FOAMING, BIODEGRADABLE ALKOXYLATION PRODUCTS TERMINATED WITH GLYCERINE ETHER RADICALS, AND A PROCESS FOR THEIR PREPARATION The subject invention relates to compositions of matter having the following structural formula: I In this formula, R1 represents a C8-C20 alkyl radical, R2 stands for a C1-C5 alkyl radical, and n is a number, 4 through 15. These compounds are low foaming and have acceptable biodegradability. They are particularly useful in the formulation of automatic dishwashing detergents.
