Definitions

  • compositions have many advantageous features, nevertheless, they have the undesirable feature of foaming in the presence of raw egg soil. Since foaming can reduce the efficiency of the automatic dishwashing machine by retarding the mechanical action of the fine water sprays and by reducing the rate of rotation of the perforated spray arms in certain types of machines, it would be advantageous, therefore, to provide an automatic dishwashing detergent which does not foam excessively in the presence of raw egg soil or other proteinaceous matter.
  • the foaming characteristics of an aqueous solution of an automatic dishwashing detergent containing alkaline detergent salts are substantially reduced in the presence of proteinaceous soil when this detergent is formulated with a composition containing a nonionic surface active agent and at least one alkyl phosphate ester having 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical or, more specifically, selected from the group consisting of stearyl acid phosphate and oleyl acid phosphate.
  • alkyl phosphate ester having 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical is very elfective, it does present a problem due to its insolubility and lack of dispersibility 3,741,912 Patented June 26, 1973 in the nonionic surface active agent and results in segregation during storage, thus causing problems in subsequent handling and formulating.
