Abstract
A composition includes a polysaccharide hybrid polymer composition. In one embodiment, the polysaccharide hybrid polymer composition includes a polysaccharide residue present in an amount from about 5% to about 90% by weight of the polysaccharide hybrid polymer composition and a residue of at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer present in an amount from about 10% to about 75% by weight of the polysaccharide hybrid polymer composition.
Claims20
A cleaning composition comprising:
- at least one alkali metal hydroxide present in an amount from about 21% to about 80% by weight of the cleaning composition;
- water present in an amount of about 2% to about 40% by weight of the cleaning composition;
- an ethylene oxide/propylene oxide block polymer;
- and
- a polysaccharide hybrid polymer composition comprising:
- polysaccharide residue in an amount from about 5% to about 90% by weight of the polysaccharide hybrid polymer composition;
- and
- residue of at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer present in an amount from about 10% to about 75% by weight of the polysaccharide hybrid polymer composition.
A method of using a detergent composition, the method comprising;
- mixing water with the detergent composition to form a use solution;
- and
- contacting the substrate with the use solution, wherein the use solution comprises:
- at least one alkali metal hydroxide present in an amount from about 150 ppm to about 1500 ppm;

- sufficient alkali metal hydroxide to provide the use solution with a pH that is in the range from about 9 about 13;
- at least one or more of the following surfactants:
- carboxylates, fatty alcohol sulfates, alkyl polyglycosides, sorbitan and sucrose esters and their ethoxylates, alkoxylated amines, carboxylic acid esters, carboxylic amides, ethylene oxide/propylene oxide block polymers, silicone surfactants, amines, quaternary ammonium salts, betaines, imidazolines, and propionates;
- and
- about 5 to 500 ppm of a polysaccharide hybrid polymer composition comprising:
- polysaccharide residue in an amount from about 5% to about 90% by weight of the polysaccharide hybrid polymer composition;
- and
- residue of at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer present in an amount from about 10% to about 75% by weight of the polysaccharide hybrid polymer composition.
