• surfactants or surfactant mixtures of those mentioned in the two older property right applications of the type described may still need improvement in the following directions:
• the surfactants can become cloudy from their aqueous solutions.
• Aqueous solutions in particular of the low-foam surfactant components described in DE-A-33 15 951, show corresponding clouding, for example below 5 ° C.
• improved solubilities may also be desirable in another special area of application.
• These are preferably strongly acidic cleaning formulations.
• Low-foaming surfactants of the type described are only insufficiently soluble, for example, in formulations containing phosphoric acid, especially when the phosphoric acid content is high.
• the present invention is based on the task of closing the remaining gaps in the solution behavior of these low-foaming surfactant components, which are desired per se, by using selected solubilizers.
• the existing advantages of these surfactant components and in particular their foam-suppressing or low-foam properties should not be adversely affected.
• the technical solution to the problem according to the invention is based on the finding that the use of selected diethanolamine derivatives now also opens up the areas of application conditions for the use of the surfactant classes described which previously caused the difficulties described.
• Suitable nonionic surfactants are polyoxyalkylene adducts with hydrophobic radicals with active H atoms, for example polyalkylene glycol ethers of long-chain alcohols.
• the content of polyoxyalkylene, e.g. B. ethylene oxide is such that the dispersibility or solubility of these adducts in water is ensured.
• the detergents in which these surfactant formulations are used are based on the usual ingredients, such as alkaline condensed phosphates, other alkaline builder salts and active chlorine-containing components.
• solubilizers of the general formula I, II a and / or II b are preferably used in amounts of up to about 150 percent by weight and preferably in amounts of about 5 to 100 percent by weight, in each case based on the weight of the low-foaming surfactants.
• Solubilizers of the general formula I can be prepared in a manner known per se as defined compounds, for example from diethanolamine and alkyl halides of the specified C number in the alkyl radical.
• solubilizers of the general formulas II a and II b will generally be present as mixtures. They are obtained in a simple manner by reacting terminal epoxy compounds of the prescribed carbon number with diethanolamine and are obtained in a manner known per se - depending on the reaction conditions used in a mixture of the two components in accordance with II a and II b. These compounds I, II a and II b are then further reacted with ethylene oxide as required.
• the solubilizers according to the invention are used together with the end group-capped polyethylene glycol ethers of DE-A-33 15 951, this component being part of the systematic description of the invention of the general formula R3 - O - (CH2CH2O] n - R4 (III) corresponds.
• R3 is a straight-chain or branched alkyl or alkenyl radical having 8 to 18 carbon atoms

• residues R5, R7 and R8 are residues of corresponding longer-chain alcohols, wherein in a further preferred embodiment of the invention applies that alcohol cuts as they incurred in the synthesis of such alcohols in practice, are particularly suitable, in which case at least the predominant proportion of the individual components actually present in these alcohol sections correspond to the specified C number ranges.
• Corresponding synthetic alcohols, but in particular corresponding fatty alcohols or fatty alcohol mixtures are suitable, such as are obtained in a known manner from the conversion of natural fats and / or oils.
• a particularly suitable alcohol cut for the radical R5 in the compounds of the general formula IV can be what is known as “LT coconut alcohol”, which shows the following carbon chain length distribution - with consistently saturated hydrocarbons C10 0 to 3% C12 48 to 58% C14 19 to 24% C16 9 to 12% C18 11 to 14%.
• An oleyl alcohol cut with the following carbon chain length distribution and an iodine number in the range from 40 to 110 is particularly suitable as the radical R im in the compounds of the general formula VI: C12 0 to 2% C14 0 to 9% C16 2 to 33% C18 60 to 95% C20 0 to 3%
• the use of the diethanolamine derivatives of the formulas I, IIa and / or IIb also improves the foam-suppressing properties of the surfactant mixtures, especially at an application temperature of 20 ° C., as can be seen from the table.
• the foam-suppressing properties of the surfactant mixtures are determined by adding the amounts of a foam-rich surfactant (triethanolamine salt of tetrapropylene benzene sulfonate) listed in the table to the surfactant mixture to be tested and foaming these mixtures by pumping around them.
• the surfactant mixture to be tested has the better foam-suppressing properties, the lower the figures for liquid and foam volume listed in the table are and the more the surfactant mixture can be loaded with the foam-rich surfactant until the maximum number of 2000 ml of liquid and foam volume is reached.
