Abstract

The present invention is drawn to an aqueous composition containing: (a) at least one fatty monoamine; (b) at least one nonionic surfactant; (c) at least one compound chosen from an alkyl ether carboxylic acid, an alkyl ether carboxylate, a fatty acid having from about 6 to about 40 carbon atoms, and mixtures thereof; and (d) at least one water-insoluble material, and wherein the composition is homogeneous and clear to substantially clear in appearance.

Claims

1. An aqueous composition comprising:

(a) at least one fatty monoamine compound;

(b) at least one nonionic surfactant;

(c) at least one compound chosen from an alkyl ether carboxylic acid, an alkyl ether carboxylate, a fatty acid having from about 6 to about 40 carbon atoms, and mixtures thereof; and

(d) at least one water-insoluble material.

2. The composition of claim 1 wherein (a) is a tertiary amido amine having an alkyl group with from about 12 to about 22 carbon atoms.

3. The composition of claim 1 wherein (a) is present in an amount of from about greater than 0 to about 30% by weight, based on the weight of the composition.

4. The composition of claim 1 wherein (a) is present in an amount of from about greater than 0 to about 5% by weight, based on the weight of the composition.

5. The composition of claim 1 wherein (b) has an HLB of at least about 8.

6. The composition of claim 1 wherein (b) is present in an amount of from about greater than 0 to about 70% by weight, based on the weight of the composition.

7. The composition of claim 1 wherein (b) is present in an amount of from about greater than 0 to about 20% by weight, based on the weight of the composition.

8. The composition of claim 1 wherein (c) is an alkyl ether carboxylic acid.

9. The composition of claim 1 wherein (c) is a laureth-5 carboxylic acid.

10. The composition of claim 1 wherein (c) is an oleth-10 carboxylic acid.

11. The composition of claim 1 wherein (c) is a laureth-11 carboxylic acid.

12. The composition in claim 1 wherein (c) is a fatty acid having from about 6 to about 40 carbon atoms.

13. The composition in claim 1 wherein (c) is Oleic Acid.

14. The composition in claim 1 wherein (c) is Stearic Acid.

15. The composition of claim 1 wherein (c) is present in an amount of from about greater than 0 to about 50% by weight, based on the weight of the composition.

16. The composition of claim 1 wherein (c) is present in an amount of from about greater than 0 to about 15% by weight, based on the weight of the composition.

17. The composition of claim 1 wherein (d) is present in an amount of up to about 50% by weight, based on the weight of the composition.

18. The composition of claim 1 wherein (d) is present in an amount of up to about 10% by weight, based on the weight of the composition.
