International Classification:

C11D 172
C11D 337
B08B 300

US Classification:

8137

Abstract:

A detergent composition has been discovered that imparts improved soil shield properties to synthetic fabrics. The composition comprises: (a) about 7 to about 15% by weight of a nonionic surfactant formed from C. sub. 12-18 fatty alcohols ethoxylated with about 10 to about 14 moles of ethylene oxide and containing a narrow ethylene oxide distribution; (b) an effective amount up to about 1. 0% of a modified cellulose ether; and (c) the balance, detergency adjunct materials. Plant tower smoke produced during the spray drying operation is reduced when using said composition with ethoxylated alcohols of narrow ethylene oxide distribution.
