A CONCENTRATED LIQUID DETERGENT COMPOSITION COMPRISING LAMELLAR SURFACTANT DROPLETS DISPERSED IN AN AQUEOUS ELECTROLYTIC CONTINUOUS PHASE CONTAINING 00.1-0.5 OF A POLYMERIC STABILIZING AGENT

摘要

Concentrated, structured liquid detergent compositions in the form of lamellar surfactant droplets dispersed in an aqueous electrolytic continuous phase comprises a mixture of: a) from about 10 to 45% by weight of surfactant; b) at least one detergent builder; c) from about 0.01 to about 5% by weight of a deflocculating polymer composition containing polymer chains of the structure P-QR, wherein P represents a polymer chain segment of a hydrophilic polymer, and QR represents a hydrophobic end-cap group wherein R is an organic hydrophobic radical containing from about 4 to 28 carbon atoms, and Q is selected from the group consisting of O, S, SO, SO2, Si OR'R'', Si R'R'', CR'OH, CR'R'' and CR'OR'' wherein R' and R'' are each hydrogen, an alkyl group containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms or an aryl group; and d) water There is also added a polymeric stabilizing agent to the liquid detergent compositions which is comprised of a high molecular weight cross-linked polyacrylic acid compound for the purpose of maintaining the viscosity of the liquid detergent composition substantially constant when stored at room temperature for a period of at least four weeks.
