Abstract
A method of increasing specific gravity of a liquid or gel type detergent product having a pH less than about 10.0, while at the same time imparting transparency or translucency to said liquid or gel type detergent product, comprises the steps of: (a) providing a liquid or gel type detergent composition having no greater than 20% by weight of (i) potassium tripolyphosphate and (ii) mixed sodium and potassium tripolyphosphate; (b) maintaining a potassium:sodium weight ratio greater than at least about 0.5:1; and (c) adding one or more of potassium salts, ammonium salts and mixtures thereof, in an amount of at least 5% by weight of the detergent product.
Claims23
A method of increasing specific gravity of a liquid or gel type detergent product having a pH less than about 10.5, while at the same time imparting transparency or translucency to said liquid or gel type detergent product, comprising the steps of:
- providing a liquid or gel type detergent composition having no greater than 20% by weight of (i) potassium tripolyphosphate and (ii) mixed sodium and potassium tripolyphosphate;
- maintaining a potassium:sodium weight ratio greater than at least about 0.5:1;
- and
- adding one or more potassium salts in an amount of at least 5% by weight of said detergent product.
A transparent or translucent liquid or gel type detergent product having a specific gravity greater than about 1.2 grams/ml and a pH less than about 10.0, comprising:
- a liquid or gel type detergent composition, said composition having no greater than 20% by weight of (i) potassium tripolyphosphate and (ii) mixed sodium and potassium tripolyphosphate;
- a potassium:sodium weight ratio greater than at least about 0.5:1;
- and
- one or more potassium salts in an amount of at least 5% by weight of said detergent composition.
