Nonionic detergents foam less than their anionic counterparts, making them useful in applications where foam is not desired. They also are more effective at low temperatures, making them economical to use in laundry-cleaning formulations because clothes can be washed in colder water. In addition, nonionic detergents do not react with calcium and magnesium ions therefore, these detergents work well in hard water. 

Several cleaning formulations for specific uses contain unreacted polyamines. Examples include mixtures of ammonium alkylbenzenesulfonate, solvents, and PIP which give good cleaning and shine performance on mirrors and other hard surfaces without rinsing (305), and a hard-surface cleaner composed of a water-soluble vinyl acetate—vinyl alcohol copolymer, EDA, cyclohexanone [108-94-1] dimethyl sulfoxide [67-68-5] a surfactant, and water (306). TEPA, to which an average of 17 moles of ethylene oxide are added, improves the clay sod removal and sod antiredeposition properties of certain hquid laundry detergents (307). 

Although IOS have not yet appeared in commercial formulations, several patents have claimed their use in LDLs and in other cleaning formulations. As an example, Kok et al. [8] have described the use of IOS containing 75% (3-hydroxysulfonate in a dishwashing detergent. Their patent also claims the use of IOS in granular and in liquid laundry detergents as well as in all-purpose cleaners. 

Citric acid is used in soft drinks, candies, wines, desserts, jellies, jams, as an antioxidant in frozen fruits and vegetables, and as an emulsifier in cheese. As the most versatile food acidulant, citric acid accounts for about 70 percent of the total food acidulant market. It provides effervescence by combining the citric acid with a biocarbonate/carbonate source to form carbon dioxide. Citric acid and its salts are also used in blood anticoagulants to chelate calcium, block blood clotting, and buffer the blood. Citric acid is contained in various cosmetic products such as hair shampoos, rinses, lotions, creams, and toothpastes. More recently, citric acid has been used for metal cleaning, substituted for phosphate in detergents, for secondary oil recovery, and as a buffer/absorber in stack gas desulfurization. The use of sodium citrate in heavy-duty liquid laundry detergent formulations has resulted in a rapid increase in the use of citric acid.

Even as early as 1939, the soap industry began to create laundry detergents using surfactants that were supplied to the soap manufacturers by the petrochemical industry. Because the cleaning formulations prodnced from these synthetic detergents were a substantial improvement over soap products in use at the time, they soon gave rise to a global surfactant industry based on branched alkyl benzene (BAB) derived from branched paraffins. 

Natural C12-C16 fatty alcohols or C10-C15 synthetic fatty alcohols with >4 moles ofEO. Alcohol ethoxylates with 5-11 moles of EO are used in liquid and powdered laundry detergents as coactives with LAS and fatty alcohol ethers sulfate (FAES) in hard surface-cleaning formulations and in a host of industrial applications. Alcohol ethoxylates with 12-50 moles of EO and their respective sulfated and phosphated derivatives find use in emulsion polymerization and other select applications. 

Antifoam compounds for use in detergents can be found in many types of formulated products including dishwashing detergents and rinse aids, home laundry formulations, home laundry softeners, window cleaners, alkaline metal degreasers, hard-surface cleaners, acid cleaning of metals, bottle-cleaning formulations, and many others.
