Aqueous rinse - aid composition comprising a two - component blend of alkoxylated nonionic surfactants

An aqueous rinse-aid composition suitable for use at a temperature of up to at least 180.degree. F. in the absence of excessive forming, spotting and film formation consisting essentially of approximately 2 to 3 percent by weight of sodium dihexyl sulfosuccinate hydrotrope, and a blend of nonionic surfactants (i) and (ii) in a concentration of approximately 20 percent by weight, wherein (i) is an alcohol alkoxylate surfactant having a cloud point of approximately 10.degree. to 20.degree. C., and a molecular weight of approximately 1,400 and the structural formula:

• ##STR7## wherein R is an alkyl group of 8 to 10 carbon atoms, x is approximately 10, and y is approximately 14 and (ii) is a block copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide having a cloud point of approximately 30.degree. to 50.degree. C., and a molecular weight of approximately 3,200 and the structural formula:
• ##STR8## wherein a+c equals approximately 33, and b is approximately 29, and wherein the weight concentration of nonionic surfactant (i) to nonionic surfactant (ii) in said blend of nonionic surfactants is approximately 4:1.
