Low Surfactant Content Amphoteric Cleaners

Abstract

Low surfactant content alkaline cleaners have been developed suitable for use with missile component parts of magnesium, aluminum, zinc, etc. These compounds, possess excellent detersive, heat stability and cleaning capacity characteristics and economy. They contain only 3.0 percent of a specific quaternary imidazolium hydroxide amphoteric surfactant plus 1.5 percent isooctylphenyl nonaethylene glycol ether (IOPNG). The amphoteric agent is the dicarboxylic analogue of the coconut oil derivative. Nonionics of the alkyl polyethylene glycol ether or alkyl polyethylene glycol thioether types may be substituted for IOPNG. The developed compounds permit a saving of about 16 percent over present-type Specification P-C-436a products.
