Abstract
An aqueous glass cleaning composition with optimal anti-streaking properties contains a nonvolatile organic ether having the formula R.sub.1 --O--R.sub.2 wherein R.sub.1 is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 linear, branched or cyclic alkyl or alkenyl optionally substituted with --OH, and R.sub.2 is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 linear, branched or cyclic alkyl or alkenyl substituted with --OH; and an anti-streaking alcohol having the formula ##STR1## wherein A, D, E, G, L and M are independently --H, --CH.sub.3, --OH or --CH.sub.2 OH; J is a single bond or --O--; and Q is --H or a straight chain C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 alkyl optionally substituted with --OH.
Claims12
A composition for cleaning glass, comprising:
- water;
- from about 0.01 to about 5.0 weight percent of a nonvolatile organic ether having the formula:
- R.sub.1 --O--R.sub.2
- wherein R.sub.1 is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 linear, branched or cyclic alkyl or alkenyl optionally substituted with --OH, and R.sub.2 is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 linear, branched or cyclic alkyl or alkenyl substituted with --OH;
- and
- from about 0.1 to about 5.0 weight percent of an anti-streaking alcohol having formula:
- ##STR6## wherein A, D, E, G, L and M are independently --H, --CH.sub.3, --OH or --CH.sub.2 OH;
- J is a single bond or --O--;
- and Q is --H or a straight chain or branched C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 alkyl optionally substituted with --OH, with the proviso that:
- (i) if Q is not alkyl substituted with --OH, then at least one of A, D, E, G, L and M is --OH or --CH.sub.2 OH;
- (ii) when only one of A and E is --OH and the other is --H, and J is a single bond, then D, G, L, M and Q may not be --H simultaneously;
- (iii) when A, D, E and L are --H simultaneously, J is a single bond, one of G or M is --CH.sub.2 OH and the other is --H, then Q may not be --H or ##STR7## and (iv) when J is a single bond, none of E, G, L and M is --CH.sub.3 or --CH.sub.2 OH and Q is --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 CH.sub.3, then at least two of A, D, E, G, L and M are --OH, or at least one of A and D is --CH.sub.3 or --CH.sub.2 OH.
