ABSTRACT
Microemulsion regions in systems of commercial nonionic surfactant, water and aliphatic hydrocarbon have been determined. The influence of hydrocarbon chain length, nature of surfactant and temperature in microemulsion formation was studied. Textile deter-gency tests of these microemulsions, in conditions of minimum mechanical energy and at low temperature showed that they are highly efficient to promote soil removal.
