Abstract

Diaryl urethanes made by capping poly (oxyalkylene) diols with monoisocyanates are characterized by a desirable hydrophobe/hydrophile balance typically evidenced by low cloud points, the ability to form micelles in aqueous media, the ability to reduce stable foam, and the ability to be taken up and retained by paper fibers, the low foaming or de-foaming capability of these compounds is useful in machine dishwashing detergents and additives, which hydrophobe/hydrophile balance is typically obtained through a combination of oxyethylene and oxypropylene units or blocks in the oxyalkylene chain.
