Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention involves foam stabilization compositions that rely upon anonionic/hydrophobic interaction. According to the invention, an associative thickener is used to provide long range nonionic/hydrophobic interaction with the hydrophobic groups of the surfactants present in the same. The interaction must be of sufficient character so that the components can maintain long range intermolecular networking, causing longer lasting and increased foam production, even in the presence of hydrophobic/oily soils. The system provides an environmentally friendly alternative for traditional foaming enhancers such as cocamide DEA.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A foaming cleaning composition comprising: an associative thickener polymer; a detersive amount of one or more anionic surfactants; one or more amphoteric surfactants, wherein said one or more amphoteric surfactants comprises an amine oxide in an amount between about 2 wt. % and about 8 wt. %, or a betaine or sultaine in an amount between about 10 wt. % and about 75 wt. %; and wherein said composition does not contain an alkaline source; and wherein sa…
