  • Publication number: 20230287305
    Abstract: A liquid laundry composition comprising: (i) from 1 to 60 wt % of one or more surfactants selected from non-soap anionic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, and mixtures thereof; and (ii) from 0.05 to 10 wt % of an amphoterically-modified oligopropyleneimine ethoxylate having a following formula (I) wherein E is an ethoxy side chain corresponding to a formula —(RO)n—R?(I) in which R units are ethylene; n has an average value from 5 to 50, preferably from 10 to 40; R? units are each independently selected from hydrogen and SO3—, wherein at least 30% of R? units, preferably at least 50%, are SO3—; Q units are each independently selected from C1-C4 alkyl, H and a free electron pair, wherein at least 50% of Q units, preferably at least 80% Y, more preferably at least 90% are C1-C4 alkyl; and x ranges from 1 to 3.

  • Patent number: 11572529
    Abstract: A liquid laundry composition comprising: (i) one or more anionic surfactants; and (ii) a non-ionic ethoxylated C10 Guerbet alcohol surfactant with a degree of ethoxylation in the range of 1 to 10; wherein the total amount of anionic surfactant in the composition is in the range of 3 to 18 wt % of the total composition and the weight ratio of the total amount of anionic surfactant to the non-ionic ethoxylated C10 Guerbet alcohol surfactant is in the range of 6:1 to 60:1. Use of a liquid laundry detergent composition including said non-ionic ethoxylated C10 Guerbet alcohol surfactant for laundering textiles wherein effective foam is maintained during a main wash step and an easy rinse of the textiles is provided during a rinse step.

  • Publication number: 20190144782
    Abstract: A liquid laundry composition comprising: (i) one or more anionic surfactants; and (ii) a non-ionic ethoxylated C10 Guerbet alcohol surfactant with a degree of ethoxylation in the range of 1 to 10; wherein the total amount of anionic surfactant in the composition is in the range of 15 to 25 wt % of the total composition and the weight ratio of the total amount of anionic surfactant to the non-ionic ethoxylated C10 Guerbet alcohol surfactant is in the range of 6:1 to 100:1. Use of a liquid laundry detergent composition including a non-ionic ethoxylated C10 Guerbet alcohol surfactant with a degree of ethoxylation in the range of 1 to 10 for laundering textiles wherein increased foam is provided during a main wash step when compared to a composition having a comparable level of anionic surfactant and substantially no non-ionic ethoxylated C10 Guerbet alcohol surfactant with a degree of ethoxylation in the range of 1 to 10.
