Abstract
A cleaning composition uses a solvent derived from an agricultural crop, one or more non-ionic surfactants, one or more anionic surfactants, an anti-oxidant, an optional hydrotrope, and hydrogen peroxide, with the balance being deionized or distilled water. The agricultural crop is preferably soybeans or corn and the solvent is preferably an ester derived from the crop.
Claims20
A cleaning composition consisting essentially of:
- a solvent derived from an agricultural crop in an amount ranging between 0.01 and 30.0% by weight;
- an anti-oxidant in a finite amount between zero and 4.0% by weight;
- a water soluble co-solvent between zero and up to 10.0% by weight;
- one or more anionic surfactants, either an alkali metal salt of a linear alkylbenzene sulfonic acid in an amount corresponding to 1.2 parts per 1.0 part of the solvent component, and/or an alkali metal salt of an alkyl sulfonate in an amount of 0.8 parts per 1.0 part of the solvent component;
- one or more non-ionic surfactants, each in an amount between 0.5 and 7.0% by weight;
- hydrogen peroxide in an amount between 2.0-75.0% by weight;
- a thickener from zero and up to 5.0% by weight;
- and
- the balance deionized water.
The cleaning composition consisting essentially of:
- a solvent derived from an agricultural crop in an amount ranging between 0.55 and 7.08% by weight;
- an anti-oxidant in a finite amount up to 0.02% by weight;
- one or more anionic surfactants, either an isopropylamine salt of a linear alkylbenzene sulfonic acid in an amount corresponding to 1.2 parts per 1.0 part of the solvent component, and/or sodium 1-octane sulfonate in an amount of 0.8 parts per 1.0 part of the solvent component;
- an alcohol ethoxylate non-ionic surfactant having at least 9.0 moles of ethoxylation in an amount between 0.5 and 7.0% by weight, and an alcohol ethoxylate non-ionic surfactant having 6.0 or less moles of ethoxylation in an amount between 0.5 and 7.0% by weight;
- a hydrotrope in an amount between 0.5 and 5.0% by weight;
- hydrogen peroxide in an amount between 2.8-72.2% by weight;
- and
- the balance deionized water.
In a hydrogen peroxide containing cleaning composition using terpene as a solvent, the hydrogen peroxide stabilized with one or more anionic and non-ionic surfactants, the improvement comprising replacing the terpene with a solvent derived from an agricultural crop.
