Abstract

ABSTRACT
This invention relates to a novel and improved composition for cleaning surfaces of aluminium and aluminium alloys. The essence of the present invent-ion is to combine in aqueous solution an alkali metal hydroxide e.g. sodium or potassium hydroxide with a salt of an unsaturated fatty acid. In a preferred embodiment the composition contains a calcium soap dispersant. Such composit-ions are found to have less tendency to attack the surfaces being cleaned.

Description

` ~0S7154 The present invention is concerned with detergent compositions especially for hard surfaces made of aluminium and aluminium alloys. It is known that aluminium and most light metal alloys are more or less severely attacked by most moderately strong and all strongly alkaline chemicals except caustic ammonia. The attack by weakly alkaline detergents is, however, slight. In the food industry, especially for the curing of meta products, equipment is used that very often contains plates and other details of aluminium. For such equipment usually detergent compositions containing surface active agentsS inorganic and organic chelators and alkali metal silicates especially sodium or potassium meta silicate are used. At the required high concentrations of meta silicate, precipitates of silicates will form that adhere very strongly to the aluminium surfaces and make them unsightly. At low concentrations or in the total absence of meta silicate the cleaning efficiency will suffer.
According to the present invention there is provided an improved cleaning composition for aluminium and aluminium alloys which comprises in aqueous solution a combination of one or more alkali metal hydroxides, in a concentration of not less than 0.1% by weight, and a salt of an unsaturated fatty acid comprising from 12 to 22 carbon atoms, in a concentration of not 2Q less than 0.02% by weight.
The present invention completely eliminates the inconveniences mentioned above. During our search for suitable inhibitors to decrease the aggressiveness of commonly used alkaline detergent solutions against aluminium we have made the totally unexpected discovery that even com-paratively small amounts of alkali metal salts of unsaturated fatty acids added to solution of sodium and/or potassium hydroxide is sufficient to substantially decrease the aggressiveness of those solutions against aluminium. This fact is even more surprising as the effect of adding salts of saturated fatty acids is negligible. Very satisfactory results in this respect are shown by oleic acid, linoleic acid, tall oil acid, and ricinoleic acid just to mention a few of the commoner unsaturated fatty acids.
As a comparsion may be mentioned that salts of saturated fatty acids such lOS7154 as palmitic acid, ~-sulpho palmitic acid, tallow fatty acid, lauric acid, cocoa fatty acid and eurucic acid do not act as inhibitors. Table 1 shows a typical selection of tested detergent solutions with different ratios of the active components i.e. alkali and inhibitor. From the table one can observe ho~ adverse the influence of additions of sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP), nitrilo triacetic acid (NTA), ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) .
la-~057154 and meta silicate (Meta) is. Such substances therefor should be avoided asadditives.

Detergent compositions in accordance with the present invention are especially suitable for surfaces of aluminium and aluminium alloys and are characterized by their content at use of, beside water as a solvent, as com-ponents essentially one or more of the hydroxides of the alkali metals together with added, as inhibitor acting, salts of unsaturated fatty acids.
If the detergent composition is intended for use diluted with hard water it is preferable to add adducts of tallow fatty alcohol with about 11 moles of ethylene oxide per mole alcohol. The ethylene oxide adduct acts even in slight amounts as a calcium soap dispergator~dispersant)and reduces the foaming appreciably.
Detergent compositions according to the invention are advantageously used at temperatures above room temperature for instance at 70C for cleaning grill ovens. Even at boiliag temperature the detergent can be used without dissolution of aluminium and that even at the very high pH of 12-13.
