Abstract

A "system" of aqueous liquid cleaning compositions is described wherein the concentrations of each of five basic ingredients -- urea, glycerine, triethanolamine, an organic anionic detergent, and an organic non-ionic detergent -- are defined in terms of the concentration of alkali metal silicate. Within the system three preferred embodiments are used, by way of example, as a hair shampoo, a spot remover, and a laundry detergent, respectively.

Claims

1. An aqueous detergent composition comprising zero to about 65 parts by weight of an alkali metal silicate and a combination of an anionic organic detergent, a non-ionic organic detergent, triethanolamine, glycerine, and urea;

each in an approximate proportion relative to the proportion of said silicate as indicated in the drawing.

2. The composition as defined in claim 1 and comprising about 55 parts of said anionic deterggent, about 9 parts triethanolamine, about 10 parts glycerine, about 6 parts urea, and about 20 parts of said non-ionic detergent.

3. The composition as defined in claim 2 where said anionic detergent is about 50 parts dodecy, benzene sulfonic acid and about 5 parts of a coconut fatty alcohol ether sulfate.

4. The composition as defined in claim 2 where said non-ionic detergent is about 13 parts isooctyl phenol polyethylene glycol ether and about 7 parts of a coconut fatty acid alkylol amide.

5. The composition as defined in claim 1 and comprising about 9 parts triethanolamine, about 10 parts glycerine, about 6 parts urea, about 50 parts dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid, about 5 parts of a coconut fatty alcohol ether sulfate, about 13 parts isooctyl phenol polyethylene glycol ether, and about 7 parts of a coconut fatty acid alkylol amide.

6. The composition as defined in claim 2, wherein said water proportion is about 250 parts.

7. The composition is defined claim 2 and having a pH of about 6 -8.5.

8. The composition as defined in claim 1 and comprising about 29 parts of an alkali metal silicate, about 31 parts of said anionic detergent, about 3 parts triethanolamine, about 30 parts glycerine, about 2 parts urea, and about 5 parts of said non-ionic detergent.

9. The composition as defined in claim 8 where said anionic detergent is about 29 parts dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid and about 2 parts of a coconut fatty alcohol ether sulfate.

10. The composition as defined in claim 8 where said non-ionic detergent is about 3 parts isooctyl phenol polyethylene glycol ether and about 2 parts of a coconut fatty acid alkylol amide.

11. The composition as defined claim 1 and comprising about 29 parts of an alkali metal silicate, about 3 parts triethanolamine, about 30 parts glycerine, about 2 parts urea, about 29 parts dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid, about 2 parts of a coconut fatty alcohol ether sulfate, about 3 parts isooctyl phenol polyethylene glycol ether, and 2 parts of a coconut fatty acid alkylol amide.

12. The composition as defined claim 8 where said water proportion is about 1500 parts.

13. The composition as defined in claim 8 and having a pH above about 11.

14. The composition as defined in claim 1 and comprising about 65 parts of an alkali metal silicate, about 4 parts of said anionic detergent, about 0.5 parts triethanolamine, about 0.5 parts glycerine, about 5 parts urea, and about 25 parts of said non-ionic detergent.

15. The composition as defined in claim 14 where said anionic detergent is about 2 parts dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid and about 2 parts of a coconut fatty alcohol ether sulfate.

16. The composition as defined in claim 14 where said non-ionic detergent is about 21 parts isooctyl phenol polyethylene glycol ether and about 4 parts of a coconut fatty acid alkylol amide.

17. The composition as defined in claim 1 and comprising about 65 parts of an alkali metal silicate, about 0.5 parts triethanolamine, about 0.5 parts glycerine, about 5 parts urea, about 2 parts dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid, about 2 parts of a coconut fatty alcohol ether sulfate, about 21 parts isooctyl phenol polyethylene glycol ether, and about 4 parts of a coconut fatty acid alkylol amide.
