  • Patent number: 5382386
    Abstract: A process for the manufacture of a concentrated liquid detergent composition containing over 40% solid ingredients including magnesium alkylbenzene sulfonate and an alkanolamide component, offers reduction in viscosity during manufacture and upon cooling of the composition. The addition of salts and hydrotropes to the concentrated liquid detergent composition and the incorporation of alkanolamide prior to the addition of alkylbenzene sulfonic acid sufficiently lowers the viscosity of the mixture to allow processing under conventional mixing conditions.
