Abstract
Cleaning formulations and methods of use thereof are described. Embodiments of the cleaning formulation comprise (a) an effective amount of citrus based compounds and mixtures thereof; (b) an effective amount of a surfactant selected from primary and secondary nonionic surfactants, co-surfactants and mixtures thereof; (c) an effective amount of a wetting agent; (d) an effective amount of an emulsifier; and (e) optimally, an effective amount of an environmental impurity resistance mixture with an effective amount of soy bean, palm and coconut derived surfactants. Embodiments are particularly effective, mild and non-hazardous for cleaning solar panels, glass, glass composites, polymers and the like.
Claims20
A cleaning formulation having improved residue removal capability and substantially reduced filming or streaking, said formulation comprising of:
- a) an effective amount of citrus based compounds and mixtures thereof;
- (b) an effective amount of a surfactant selected from primary and secondary nonionic surfactants, co-surfactants and mixtures thereof;
- (c) an effective amount of a wetting agent;
- and
- (d) an effective amount of a cleaning and environmental impurity resistance mixture having improved properties, improved dirt and water resistance and substantially reduced surface deposits, said formulation comprising:
- i) an effective amount of soy, coconut, and palm derived compounds and mixtures thereof;
- ii) an effective amount of anionic surfactant salts of condensation products of fatty acids with sarcosine;
- iii) an effective amount of alkyl and cyclic siloxanes;
- and iv) a buffer solution comprising an alkyl hydroxide or organic amine selected from alkyl or ammonia.
