ABSTRACT:
A cleaning composition which comprises: (a) from 35 to 80 wt % of one or both of a fatty alcohol ethoxylate (having from 8 to 18 carbon atoms in the alcohol moiety and from 2 to 10 moles ethylene oxide per mole alcohol) and a higher alkyl phenol ethoxylate (having from 8 to 12 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety and from 4 to 10 moles ethylene oxide per mole phenol); and (b) from 65 to 20 wt % of a phenol, or lower alkyl phenol, ethoxylate having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl group (if present) and from 3 to 10 moles ethylene oxide per mole phenol.
The composition forms emulsions with oily soils which break quickly on standing. The compositions may therefore be used to emulsify oil sludge in oil storage or transport tanks, the oil being recoverable when the emulsion with the cleaning agent breaks.
