Compositions comprising alkoxylated polyamines having low melting points

#The present invention relates to compositions comprising water-soluble alkoxylated polyamines.

#Alkoxylated polyamines are known and cleaning compositions comprising alkoxylated polyamines are also known.

#When the polyamine backbone of an alkoxylated polyamine is modified with polyethylene oxide units, particularly when the polyamine backbone is modified with a total of fourteen or more polyethylene oxide units per nitrogen atom, the polyamine is typically solid at room temperature and, thus, generally requires melting or incorporation into aqueous solution before further processing. Alkoxylated polyamines that are liquid at room temperature would be easier to process and handle.

#Features and benefits of the various aspects of the present invention will become apparent from the following description, which includes examples of specific embodiments intended to give a broad representation of the invention.

#As used herein, the articles including “the,” “a” and “an” when used in a claim or in the specification, are understood to mean one or more of what is claimed or described.

#As used herein, the terms “include,” “includes” and “including” are meant to be non-limiting.
