Filed:

Dec 10, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/709116

Inventors:

Chris J. Plotz - Olathe KS, US
Paul J. Gottesburen - Lawrence KS, US

Assignee:

Illinois Tool Works, Inc. - Glenview IL

International Classification:

A61K 8/46
A61K 8/49
A61Q 19/10

US Classification:

1510493, 510138

Abstract:

A composition is provided that includes 0.5 to 15 total weight percent of a surfactant. The surfactant is a non-ionic surfactant, an anionic surfactant, or a combination thereof. The composition also includes 0.01 to 35 total weight percent of solvent including a microemulsion, a carboxylic acid ester based ketal ester solvent, or a combination thereof 0.1 to 10 total weight percent of at least one emollient, and 60 to 99.3 total weight percent of water also being present. The resultant composition has total volatile organic content (VOC) composition of less than 2 total weight percent and as a result, the composition is more environmental benign and less irritating to skin than conventional waterless hand cleaners. The composition is well suited for being impregnated into a substrate of a towel presenting two opposed surfaces, the substrate having pores for absorbing and retaining the composition.
