Abstract
The present invention relates to isotropic liquids containing anionic polymers wherein the polymers are not hydrophobically modified and can still be incorporated into the compositions. By using anionic/nonionic compositions in which more than 25% of nonionic is sugar surfactant, the polymers can be incorporated without such modification.
Claims6
An isotropic liquid detergent composition consisting essentially of, by weight:
- (a) about 22% to about 50% of the total composition as anionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of alkyl sulfonates, alkyl sulfates, polyalkoxysulfates, and mixtures thereof;
- (b) about 10% to about 63% of the total composition as nonionic surfactant, wherein at least about 25% of said nonionic surfactant is a sugar surfactant;
- (c) optionally one or more of cationic, amphoteric, or zwitterionic surfactants;
- (d) up to about 20% of the total composition as electrolyte;
- (e) a non-hydrophobically modified anionic polymer;
- and
- (f) water;
- wherein the total amount of all surfactant in the composition is no more than about 85%.
