Abstract
The present invention is in the field of detergents. In particular, it relates to a dish cleaning and dish rinsing composition for automatic dish washing comprising specific hydroxyl compounds with the ability to improve the cleaning and/or drying performance of standard dishwashing products and/or their use as dish cleaning and/or dish rinsing product for use in automatic dishwashing and/or as anti-spotting agents or compositions, respectively.
Claims22
A dish cleaning and rinsing composition for automatic dish washing, comprising or consisting of
- (a) at least one boosting agent selected from the group consisting of
- (aI) at least one linear alkanediol having a carbon chain of 5 to 14 carbon atoms, or a mixture comprising at least one first linear alkanediol having a carbon chain of 5 to 14 carbon atoms and one or more second linear alkanediols having a carbon chain of 5 to 14 carbon atoms which is different from the first linear alkanediol;
- (aII) glyceryl caprylate;
- (aIII) 4-hydroxyacetophenone;
- (aIV) ethyl hexyl glycerin;
- (aV) tropolone;
- and
- any mixtures thereof;
