A cleaning composition may comprise a pH-switchable sudsing system and a cleansing system. The pH-switchable sudsing system may comprise a primary sudsing agent in combination with a pH-switchable co-surfactant. The pH-switchable co-surfactant is selected from diamine molecules having a general formula R1R2—N—R3—N+(CH3)3X−, where R1 is a linear or branched C8 to C16 hydrocarbyl, R2 is a linear or branched C1 to C3 hydrocarbyl, R3 is a linear or branched C3 to C6 hydrocarbylene, and X is a counteranion. The tertiary amine nitrogen of the pH-switchable co-surfactant has a pKa value. When the tertiary amine nitrogen is unprotonated, the pH-switchable co-surfactant may provide a suds-boosting effect in washing solutions at a washing pH above the pKa. When the tertiary amine nitrogen is protonated, the pH-switchable co-surfactant may provide a suds-reducing benefit in rinse waters at a rinse pH below the pKa.
一种清洁组合物可能包括一个pH可调的起泡系统和一个清洁系统。pH可调的起泡系统可能包括与pH可调的共表面活性剂相结合的主要起泡剂。pH可调的共表面活性剂是从具有一般式R1R2—N—R3—N+(
CH3)3X−的二胺分子中选择的,其中R1是直链或支链C8到C16的烃基,R2是直链或支链C1到C3的烃基,R3是直链或支链C3到C6的烃基,X是一个反离子。pH可调的共表面活性剂的三级胺氮具有pKa值。当三级胺氮未质子化时,pH可调的共表面活性剂可以在洗涤pH高于pKa的洗涤液中提供起泡增强效果。当三级胺氮质子化时,pH可调的共表面活性剂可以在漂洗pH低于pKa的漂洗
水中提供减少起泡的好处。
