A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11884897B2) discloses a hard surface cleaner formulation comprising specific ingredients to effectively clean surfaces without leaving behind any residue. The cleaner includes a fluorinated surfactant with a fluorine-containing moiety, solvents such as alkanols and glycol ethers, cleaning agents like alkanolamines and hydroxides, anionic sulfonates or sulfates, and water. Optional components like solubilizers, fragrances, and colorants can also be included in the formulation. The patent emphasizes the balance of ingredients to achieve optimal cleaning performance while maintaining a low volatile organic content (VOC) of 3 or less.
The patent further details specific variations of the hard surface cleaner formulation, highlighting different combinations and concentrations of ingredients like fluorinated surfactants, solvents, cleaning agents, and anionic sulfonates or sulfates. For instance, the cleaner may contain isopropanol, propylene glycol propyl ether, ethylene glycol hexyl ether, isopropanolamine, ammonium hydroxide, and alkali metal alkane sulfonate in varying amounts to achieve the desired cleaning efficacy. The formulation aims to effectively remove greasy soil from surfaces while ensuring easy removal without leaving any residual haze behind. By disclosing these specific compositions and concentrations, the patent provides a clear framework for formulating hard surface cleaners with improved cleaning performance and reduced environmental impact due to lower VOC levels.
