  • Hard surface cleaner with d-limonene, ethylene slycolbutyl ether, nonylphenol ethoxylate, and phosphate
    Patent number: 5856289
    Abstract: Invention is based upon the use of a unique chemical blend for an environmentally safe cleaner/degreaser. This chemical blend comprises d-limonene and SIMPLE GREEN. Both d-limonene and SIMPLE GREEN have been shown to be effective as cleaners and degreasers, but their use in combination has been shown to be synergistic. The components of the synergistic combinations show rapid biodegradation rates (>90% in 30 days), with minimal environmental impact. The chemical blend has a pH of 7.0 plus or minus 0.2 and does not entail special handling procedures or discharge requirements. Also, the use of my invention will not cause any adverse effects to the hard surfaces being cleaned, in comparison to other cleaner/degreasers that utilize a pH near 9.0.
