Abstract:
The present invention relates to an aqueous gelled cleaning composition which is useful for the removal of grease or tar without any mechanical action. In particular, the instant compositions are derived from three liquid phases which merge together at the tricritical point to form one continuum forming the gelled aqueous cleaning composition, wherein the three phases incorporate at least a polar solvent, a non-polar solvent or weakly polar solvent and a water soluble or water low molecular weight water dispersible amphiphile and the composition contains a noncross-linked polymer.
Abstract:
A viscoelastic gel microemulsion acidic composition having a complex viscosity at 100 sec of about 0.01 to about 0.07 Pascal seconds, a G' value of about 0.8 to about 0.3 dynes/sq cm over a strain range of 0.001 to 0.4 % and a G'' value of about 0.06 to about 0.6 dynes/sq cm over a strain range of 0.001 to 0.1 % which comprises approximately by weight 0.5 to 7 wt % of a nonionic surfactant having an HLB of about 0.1 to about 8.0; 0.5 to 10.0 wt. percent of a sodium paraffin sulfonate; 1 to 6 wt % of a polymeric thickener; 0.1 to 2.0 wt % of an aliphatic hydrocarbon or perfume having about 6 to about 22 carbon atoms; and the balance being water.
