B. sodium tripolyphosphate, and free alkanolamine.
• US Pat. No. 3,219,656 discloses the glycosides of long-chain aliphatic alcohols, in particular the fatty alkyl glucosides. These fatty alkyl glycosides belong to the type of nonionic surfactants. They are non-ionic with others and anionic surfactants can be combined and are therefore suitable for use in detergents and cleaning agents. A particular advantage of alkyl glycosides is their biodegradability. From US Pat. No.
