Abstract

A surfactant composition comprising: PA1 alkylarylsulfonate surfactant system comprising at least two isomers of the alkylarylsulfonate surfactant of the formula: ##STR1## PA1 wherein: PA2 L is an acyclic aliphatic hydrocarbyl of from 6 to 18 carbon atoms in total; PA2 M is a cation or cation mixture and q is the valence thereof; PA2 and b are numbers selected such that said composition is electroneutral; PA2 R' is selected from H and C.sub.1 to C.sub.3 alkyl; PA2 R" is selected from H and C.sub.1 to C.sub.3 alkyl; PA2 R'" is selected from H and C.sub.1 to C.sub.3 alkyl; any of R' and R" is nonterminally attached to L and at least one of R' and R" is C.sub.1 to C.sub.3 alkyl; and PA2 A is aryl; and wherein: PA2 said alkylarylsulfonate surfactant system comprises two or more isomers with respect to positions of attachment of R', R" and A to L; PA2 in at least about 60% of said composition, A is attached to L in the position which is selected from positions alpha- and beta- to either of the two terminal carbon atoms thereof; and wherein further said alkylarylsulfonate surfactant system has at least one (preferably both) of the following properties: PA2 said alkylarylsulfonate surfact…
