Abstract

The present invention provides a concentrated neutral liquid detergent composition for hard surfaces, which has excellent detergency and foaming property, excellent stability in storage, and excellent ability to prevent repeated adhesion of contaminants to the washed surface, the composition being advantageously suitable for manual washing of tableware and cooking utensils. A concentrated neutral detergent composition for hard surfaces, comprising (A) 0.1 to 14 wt % of an alkanesulfonic acid salt; (B) 12 to 40 wt % of a polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether; (C) 10 to 40 wt % of an alkyl polyglucoside; and (D) water.

Claims (26)

1. A concentrated neutral detergent composition, characterized in comprising:

(A) 0.1 to 14 wt % of an alkanesulfonic acid salt;

(B) 12 to 40 wt % a polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether;

(C) 20 to 40 wt % an alkyl polyglucoside; and

(D) water.

2. The concentrated neutral detergent composition according to claim 1 , further comprising (B) 0.1 to 10 wt % of a betaine.

3. The concentrated neutral detergent composition according to claim 1 , wherein the sum total of surfactant components including said (A) to (C) components as necessary components is 30 to 70 wt % based on the entire composition.

4. The concentrated neutral detergent composition according to claim 1 , wherein the alkanesulfonic acid salt which is said (A) component is a secondary alkanesulfonic acid salt represented by the general formula (1) hereinbelow:

where M denotes a hydrogen ion, an alkali metal ion, an alkaline earth metal ion equivalent to monovalent, an ammonium ion that may be substituted, and an alkanolamine ion; where m+n=7 to 17.

5. The concentrated neutral detergent composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether which is said (B) component is a polyoxyethylene alkyl ether and/or polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene alkyl ether.

6. The concentrated neutral detergent composition according to claim 1 , wherein the alkyl polyglucoside which is said (C) component is represented by the general formula (2) hereinbelow:

R 1 —(OR 2 ) x (Z) y   (2)

where R 1 denotes a linear or branched alkyl group, alkenyl group, or alkyiphenyl group with an average number of carbon atoms of 8 to 18, R 2 denotes an alkylene group with 2 to 4 carbon atoms, Z denotes a residue derived from a reduced sugar with 5 to 6 carbon atoms, x is a number with an average thereof being 0 to 5, and y is a value with an average thereof being 1 to 2.

7. The concentrated neutral detergent composition according to claim 2 , wherein the betaine which is said (E) component is alkyldimethylaminoacetic acid betaine and/or fatty acid amidopropyl betaine.

8. The concentrated neutral detergent composition according to claim 1 , supplied for hard surface applications.

9. The concentrated neutral detergent composition according to claim 1 , supplied for tableware and cooking utensil applications.

10. The concentrated neutral detergent composition according to claim 1 comprising greater than 20 to 40 wt % of a polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether.

11. A concentrated neutral detergent composition, characterized in comprising:

(A) 0.1 to 14 wt % of an alkanesulfonic acid salt;

(B) 12 to 40 wt % a polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether;

(C) 22 to 40 wt % an alkyl polyglucoside; and

(D) water.

12. The concentrated neutral detergent composition according to claim 11 comprising greater than 20 to 40 wt % of a polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether.

13. The concentrated neutral detergent composition according to claim 1 comprising greater than 25 to 40 wt % an alkyl polyglucoside.

14. The concentrated neutral detergent composition according to claim 1 comprising greater than 30 to 40 wt % an alkyl polyglucoside.

15. The concentrated neutral detergent composition according to claim 1 comprising greater than 30 to 40 wt % of a polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether.
