| Abstract: | Washing efficiency of microemulsions in water/nonionic surfactant/hydrocarbon systems has been evaluated. Such microemulsions have proved to have an excellent performance as cleaning systems in conditions of minimum mechanical energy and at low temperatures. Their behaviour in the presence of small amounts of an ionic surfactant as well as the modifications promoted by the presence of builders have also been investigated. |
