Abstract

La présente invention concerne une composition pour lessive ou vaisselle liquide hautement concentrée. Il existe un besoin en compositions détergentes pour lessive et vaisselle stables au stockage plus concentrées. Il a été découvert que le tensioactif anionique avec contre-ion monoisopropanolamine (MIPA), conjointement avec du sulfonate d'alkylbenzène linéaire et du sulfate d'éther allylique en C12 à C14, permet d'obtenir une composition concentrée qui a moins de 5 % en poids d'eau. La composition est visuellement claire et reste stable après stockage, en particulier après stockage à une température inférieure à la température ambiante.
