Abstract
The present invention provides a liquid detergent being excellent in detergency for persistent sebum smears such as smears in or on collars and cuffs and for denatured-oil smears in kitchens, etc., and further having a good smell as a detergent. That is, the present invention provides a liquid detergent comprising glycerol ether compounds represented by each of the formulas (1), (2), and (3) and a surfactant, R—O—CH2—CH(OH)CH2X (1), R—O—CH(CH2X)CH2Y (2), and R—O—CH2—CH(Z)CH2W (3), wherein R, X, Y, W and Z are defined in the specification.
Claims5
A liquid detergent, comprising four (4) structurally distinct chemical moieties (a)-(d), which are:
- (a) a compound represented by the following formula (1), (b) a compound represented by the following formula (2), (c) a compound represented by the following formula (3) and (d) a surfactant, wherein (a)+(b)+(c)=0.1 to 50% by weight, (a)/[(a)+(b)+(c)]=0.5 to 0.99, (b)/[(a)+(b)+(c)]=0.005 to 0.25 and (c)/[(a)+(b)+(c)]=0.005 to 0.25 (of which each and all are the ratios by weight):
- wherein R represents a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 16 carbon atoms, X is selected from the group consisting of a hydroxyl group and an OR group, Y is also selected from the group consisting of a hydroxyl group and an OR group, and Z is selected form the group consisting of a hydroxyl group,
- and W is also selected from the group consisting of a hydroxyl group,
- provided that one of Z and W is a hydroxyl group, but not both of them.
