DILUTABLE CONCENTRATE COMPOSITION

Fuente: WIPO "tomato"
The invention is directed to a dilutable concentrate composition. A dilutable concentrate composition comprising: f) an anionic surfactant system comprising: j) a first anionic surfactant comprising an anionic saccharide-based surfactant, or an anionic saccharide-based surfactant and a C10-C20 lactylate, a C10-C20 glycolate or both and with the proviso that when the lactylate, glycolate or both and saccharide- based surfactants are present, the first anionic surfactant is at least 40% by weight anionic saccharride-based surfactant based on total weight of the first anionic surfactant; iii) a second anionic surfactant, the second anionic surfactant being a furan-based anionic surfactant; g) an amphoteric surfactant, zwitterionic surfactant or both; h) 10 to 30%, and preferably, 12 to 28%, and most preferably, 14 to 26% (or from 14 to 24% or from 14 to 22% or from 14 to 21%) by weight of solvent comprising from 83 15 to 100% by weight C3 to C10 diol based on total weight of the solvent; i) thickener; and j) 8 to 38%, and preferably, from 10 to 35%, and most preferably, from 11 to 32% (or 12 to 31% or 12 to 30% or 12 to 29%) by weight water, wherein the furan-based anionic sulphate free surfactant comprises: A) a head group comprising Ai) a furan ring; and Aii) a sulphonate group directly attached to the furan ring; wherein the furan-based anionic sulphate free surfactant has the structure of Formula (I) where R is a hydrophobic alkyl tail group having a carbon chain length of 8 to 18, 18:1 and 18:2 where R groups of different chain lengths can be used in combination as a blend, preferably a blend of chain lengths of C12 and C14 and X is a counterion, selected from organic and inorganic counterions; B) an amide containing linker group; and C) a hydrophobic alkyl tail group having a carbon chain length of 8 to 18; and wherein the dilutable concentrate composition has a pH greater than 5.75, comprises less than 7% by weight polyol, and comprises at least 3.5% by weight of the first anionic surfactant; and wherein the weight ratio of the first anionic to the second anionic is greater than 1. The dilutable concentrate composition after dilution results in a stable lamellar wash composition having a viscosity that is higher than the concentrate it is prepared from. The dilutable concentrate composition can be used in small volumes on demand or can be diluted with water in refill packaging to ensure a reduction in plastic waste.
