Abstract:
The present invention relates to a surfactant mixture containing: A) a short-chain component containing the alkoxylation product of alkanols, wherein the alkanols have 8 to 12 carbon atoms and the mean number of alkoxy groups per alkanol group in the alkoxylation product takes a value of 3 to 30, and the alkoxy groups are selected from the group consisting of ethoxy, propoxy, butoxy and pentoxy groups, and the alkanols have a mean degree of branching of at least 1; and B) a long-chain component containing the alkoxylation product of alkanols, wherein the alkanols have 13 to 20 carbon atoms and the mean number of alkoxy groups per alkanol group in the alkoxylation product has a value of 3 to 30, and the alkoxy groups are selected from the group consisting of ethoxy, propoxy, butoxy and pentoxy groups and the alkanols have a mean degree of branching of 0.0 to 0.3; and also phosphate ester, sulphate ester and ethercarboxylate thereof. In addition, the present invention relates to formulations containing such surfactant mixtures and also the use of these, for example, for cleaning hard surfaces.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of thermally sensitive polymers as dye transfer inhibitors. The invention also relates to novel thermally sensitive polymers suitable as dye transfer inhibitors, and to washing compositions which comprise these polymers.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a surfactant mixture comprising (A) a short-chained component containing the alkoxylation product of alkanols, wherein the alkanols have 8 to 12 carbon atoms and the average number of alkoxy groups per alkanol group in the alkoxylation product assumes a value of 0.1 to 30, the alkoxy groups represent C 2-10 alkoxy groups and the alkanols have an average degree of branching of at least 1; and (B) a long-chained component containing the alkoxylation product of alkanols, wherein the alkanols have 15 to 19 carbon atoms and the average number of alkoxy groups per alkanol group in the alkoxylation product assumes a value of 0.1 to 30, the alkoxy groups represent C 2-10 alkoxy groups and the alkanols have an average degree of branching of at least 2.5; and phosphate esters, sulfate esters and ether carboxylates thereof. The present invention further relates to formulations of such surfactant mixtures, to a method for producing the surfactant mixtures and to the use thereof.
Abstract:
The alkoxylate mixture contains 0.1 to 99.9 wt. % of at least one alkoxylate of general formula (I) CnH2n+1O(A)x(B)yH, wherein: A represents ethyleneoxy; B represents C3-C10 alkyleneoxy or mixtures thereof, whereby groups A and B can exist in a statistically distributed or alternating form or in the form of two or more blocks arranged in any order; n represents a whole number ranging from 8 to 11; x represents a number ranging from 1 to 20, and; y represents a number ranging from 0 to 10.
