Abstract
Abstract Described are anionic surfactants which are made by (1) reacting maleic acid or fumaric acid, or mixtures thereof with at least one selected poly(oxyalkylated) alcohol in the presence of a peroxy-type free radical initiator to form a carboxylic acid group-containing addition product and (2) neutralizing said addition product with a sufficient amount of a neutralizing agent to convert at least a major proportion of said carboxylic acid groups to salt groups. These surfactants exhibit excellent surface activity as well as being highly soluble in caustic solutions.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
186 words
A surfactant composition made by the process comprising: a. forming a carboxylic acid group-containing additional product by reacting presence of a peroxy-type free-radical initiator an ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid selected from the group consisting of maleic acid, fumaric acid, and mixtures thereof, with at least one poly(oxyalkylated) alcohol having the formula: ##STR3## wherein R is a hydrocarbon-containing radical having an average of from about 6 to about 18 carbon atoms; R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 are individually selected from hydrogen and methyl with the proviso that R 2 is different than R 1 and R 3 ; x is an integer having a value from 1 to about 25; y is an integer having a value from about 1 to about 25; and z is an integer from about 0 to about 25; in the said weight ratio of said poly(oxyalkylated) alcohol to said dicarboxylic acid being from about 95:5 to about 40:60; and b. neutralizing said addition product with a sufficient amount of a neutralizing agent to convert at least a major portion of said carboxylic acid groups to salt groups.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
186 words
A surfactant composition made by the process comprising: a. forming a carboxylic acid group-containing additional product by reacting presence of a peroxy-type free-radical initiator an ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid selected from the group consisting of maleic acid, fumaric acid, and mixtures thereof, with at least one poly(oxyalkylated) alcohol having the formula: ##STR3## wherein R is a hydrocarbon-containing radical having an average of from about 6 to about 18 carbon atoms; R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 are individually selected from hydrogen and methyl with the proviso that R 2 is different than R 1 and R 3 ; x is an integer having a value from 1 to about 25; y is an integer having a value from about 1 to about 25; and z is an integer from about 0 to about 25; in the said weight ratio of said poly(oxyalkylated) alcohol to said dicarboxylic acid being from about 95:5 to about 40:60; and b. neutralizing said addition product with a sufficient amount of a neutralizing agent to convert at least a major portion of said carboxylic acid groups to salt groups.
