Abstract
A composition for treating a hard surface. The composition has: (a) at least one adhesion promoter; (b) at least one surfactant selected from the group consisting of: anionic, non-ionic, cationic, amphoteric, zwitterionic, and combinations thereof; (c) mineral oil; (d) water; (e) optionally, at least one solvent; and wherein the composition is self-adhering upon application to a surface to be treated, and wherein the composition provides a wet film to said surface when water passes over said composition and surface.
Claims30
A composition for treating a hard surface comprising
- (a) about 18 to 27 wt. % of at least one adhesion promoter, which comprises an organic molecule with a hydrophobic group and at least one hydrophilic group capable of interaction with water molecules;
- wherein the hydrophilic group includes a polyalkoxy group, which comprises 15 to 55 ethoxy groups;
- (b) at least one surfactant selected from the group consisting of:
- anionic, nonionic, cationic, amphoteric, zwitterionic, and combinations thereof;
- wherein the at least one surfactant includes at least about 7.5 wt. % based on the total weight of the composition of at least one nonionic surfactant, which can serve all or in part as the at least one adhesion promoter;
- (c) greater than 0 to about 5 wt. % mineral oil;
- (d) at least about 25 wt. % water;
- and
- (e) about 1 to 12 wt. % of at least one solvent, which includes glycerin;
- wherein upon application directly on the hard surface the composition self-adheres thereto through a plurality of flows of water passing over the self-adhering composition and the hard surface.
