Optimizing the flow characteristics of liquid cleaning compositions

A hard surface cleaning composition comprising at least one acidic source in an amount ranging between 6 to 20% weight and at least one superwetting agent wherein the ratio of the acid source to superwetting agent ranges between 5 to 200. The composition provides a contact angle between 5° to 30° on...

More Information
Summary:A hard surface cleaning composition comprising at least one acidic source in an amount ranging between 6 to 20% weight and at least one superwetting agent wherein the ratio of the acid source to superwetting agent ranges between 5 to 200. The composition provides a contact angle between 5° to 30° on the hard flat surface laid out horizontally and has a viscosity ranging between 1000 cP and 3000 cP. The superwetting agent may be present in an amount ranging between 0.001 to 5% weight and may be selected from the group consisting of trisiloxane surfactants, gemini surfactants, ethoxylated trisiloxanes, silicone glycol copolymers, pegylated dimethicones, N-alkyl pyrrolidones, non-ionic fluorosurfactants, polyether polyols, and secondary ethoxylated alcohols. Also disclosed is a method of identifying a suitable superwetting agent for use in a hard surface cleaning composition and a method of increasing surface coverage of a hard surface cleaning composition using a superwetting agent. The hard surface may be a sanitary appliance such as a toilet bowl.
