Filed:

Jun 7, 1995

Appl. No.:

8/475474

Inventors:

Harald P. Wulff - Bryn Mawr PA
Paul A. Siracusa - Perkasie PA

Assignee:

Henkel Corporation - Plymouth Meeting PA

International Classification:

C07G 300
A01N 4304
A61K 3170
C11D 100

US Classification:

536 41

Abstract:

An improved alkylpolyglycoside surfactant composition, and method of preparing same, by selecting an average chain length of the alkyl moiety of the composition and mixing two or more of at least binary components having an average alkyl chain lengths such that when mixed, the amounts thereof are effective to provide the predetermined, selected average alkyl moiety of the surfactant composition. The improved alkylpolyglycoside composition is used in a variety of end-use applications, including hard surface cleaners, laundry detergents, and personal care products, such as shampoos, soaps, facial cleansers, foam baths, toothpaste, mouthwashes, antiperspirants and the like.

International Classification:

C11D 194
C11D 322
C11D 328

US Classification:

510433

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to a process for forming a hydrotrope which effectively reduces the likelihood of phase separation in a liquid cleaning composition and simultaneously enhancing its cleaning properties by combining an alkyl polyglycoside having the formula I R. sub. 7 O(Z). sub. a (I) wherein R. sub. 7 is a monovalent organic radical having from about 6 to about 30 carbon atoms; Z is saccharide residue having 5 or 6 carbon atoms; a is a number having a value from 1 to about 6 and an amphoteric surfactant, in a percent actives ratio of about 1:1. The amphoteric surfactants to be used are preferably selected from the group consisting of N-alkyl beta-alanines, amino betaines, amido betaines, imidazoline betaines, amino oxides, as well as mixtures thereof.

International Classification:

C07H 100

US Classification:

536 186

Abstract:

A process for preparing high detergency or surfactant alkyl polyglycoside compositions and a purified alkyl monoglycoside and to compositions employing the polyglycosides for various end use applications. The process involves removal of a substantial portion of the monoglycoside present in a reaction product mixture containing alkyl polyglycosides resulting from the reaction of an alcohol and saccharide at elevated temperatures in the presence of an acid catalyst. Separation of the monoglycoside from the reaction product mixture may be carried out by molecular distillation.
