More particularly, it relates to a detergent composition containing a semi-polar non ionic detergent, an alkaline earth metal, preferably magnesium, salt of an anionic detergent and an amidoalkylbetaine.
Detergent compositions containing a wide variety of water-soluble organic detergents or mixtures thereof have been formulated. Recognizably, certain water-soluble organic detergents are better at removing one type of soil than other detergents. For example, anionic detergents are noted for their ability to remove carbohydrate and protein type stains, while non ionic detergents are especially useful in the removal of grease and oil stains. Various mixtures of detergents have been tried in order to find the optimum combination for removing a wide variety of stains as is normally encountered on soiled articles. (See for example, US. Patents 2,691,636, 3,085/982, 3,179,599, 3,196,166 and 3,223,647 for various organic detergent combinations.) However, there is a continuing need for detergent compositions that are effective in removing soils, especially greasy soils .
Additionally, various salts such as magnesium and calcium 30 chloride and magnesium sulfate have been suggested as detergent composition additives for improving their detergency (see US.
Patents 2,908,651~ 2,437,253 and 4,133,779).
It has now been found that a detergent composition 35 especially effective in the removal of greasy soil is formulated using a semi-polar non ionic detergent, an alkaline earth metal salt of certain anionic detergents, and an amidoalkylbetaine.

The anionic detergent salts which are useful in the present invention are selected from the following classes of anionic detergents:
I Alkyd Bunsen sulfonates in which the alkyd group contains from 9 to 15 carbon atoms, preferably 11 to 14 carbon atoms in straight chain or branched chain configuration. An especially preferred linear alkyd Bunsen sulfonate contains 12 carbon atoms. U . S.

(2) Alkyd sulfates obtained by sulfating an alcohol having 8 to 22 carbon atoms, preferably 12 to 16 carbon atoms.
The alkyd sulfates have the formula (RHIZOME where K
is the C8 22 alkyd group and M is the alkaline earth metal.

The anionic detergent comprises at least about 109~, preferably at least about 15% of an alkaline earth metal, preferably magnesium, salt of an organic anionic detergent. The remainder are typically sodium, potassium, ammonium and/or substituted ammonium salts. Especially preferred salts are the magnesium salts. The anionic detergent salts which are useful in the present invention are selected from the following classes of anionic detergents:
I Alkyd Bunsen sulfonates in which the alkyd group contains from 9 to 15 carbon atoms, preferably 11 to 14 carbon atoms in straight chain or branched chain configuration. An especially preferred linear alkyd Bunsen sulfonate contains 12 carbon atoms. U . S.
patents 2,220,099 and 2,477,383 describe these detergents.

The above-described anionic detergents are all available commercially. The acid form of the anionic detergent can be converted to the alkaline earth metal salt form either prior to admixture with the semi-polar non ionic detergent or thereafter.
This conversion can be accomplished either by direct neutralize anion with an alkaline earth metal base or by ion exchange be-tweet, e.g., an alkali metal, ammonium or alkanolammonium salt of the anionic detergent and a no n-toxic, water-soluble alkaline earth metal salt. Preferably, a source of magnesium or calcium ions is added to the detergent mixture under desirable reaction conditions to form the desired salts. Calcium and magnesium chlorides, calcium and magnesium sulfates, calcium and magnesium acetates or calcium and magnesium hydroxides and oxides are examples of magnesium and calcium sources. Magnesium chloride and magnesium sulfate are preferred. Magnesium oxide or hydroxide is most preferred.
The cation of the anionic detergent is important in that the alkaline earth metal salts of the herein described anionic detergent perform better in terms of suds persistence, especially in the presence of grease, than the alkali metal, ammonium or alkanolammonium salts of said anionic detergents when in combination with the semi-polar non ionic detergent and the button detergent. In some cases, a mixture of cations may be desirable 393~4 for optimum physical properties or seducing across a range of conditions and soils, provided sufficient amounts of the anionic surfactan~ are in the alkaline earth metal form to provide the desk red g reuse removal . Up to about 25% of the above anionic 5 detergents can be in the form of their sodium, potassium, ammo-I'm, moo-, dip or triethanolammonium salts, especially ammonium, monoethanolammonium, or triethanolammonium.
The amidoalkylbetaine surfactant is essential to the improved performance. The suds persistence (mileage) is less when the 10 amidoalkylbetaine is combined with alkali metal anionic and semi-polar non ionic detergent mixtures. Overall superior performance requires all three essential ingredients.
Examples of suitable buttons include coconutacylamidopro-pyldimethylbetaine; C12_14 acylamidopropylbetaine; C8 acylamido-15 hexyldiethylbetaine; 4-[C14 16 acylmethylamidodiethylammonio]-1-carboxybutane; C16_18 acylamidodimethylbetaine; C12 14 acylar!~ido-pentanediethylbetaine; 2-lC12 16 acylmethylamidodiemethyll-1-car boxy propane; and C1 2 16 acylmethylamidodimethylbetaine.
Preferred buttons are the C10 18 acylamidopropane (or ethanes 20 dim ethyl (or deathly) buttons.
Suitable amidoalkylbetaines are disclosed in US. Patents 3,950,417; 4,137,191; and 4,375,421 and British Patent GO
2,103,236, The level of button in the product is preferably more than 25 about I desirably about 4 to us where maximum grease handle i no i s desk red .
It will be recognized that the alkyd (and azalea) groups for the above detergents can be derived from either natural or sync Thetis sources, e.g., they can be derived from naturally occur-30 ring fatty acids; olefins such as those prepared by Ziegler, or lZ393:24 Ox processes; or from olefins separated from petroleum either with or without "cracking". Specific examples, e.g., of alkyd sulfates and alkyd ether sulfates include those derived from " Nudely 23 "which is a synthetic alcohol prepared by an Ox pro-5 cuss and containing about I weight percent of dodecanol and about 54 weight percent of tridecanol.
Ratios of semi-polar non ionic detergent and button to anionic detergent salt basis) of from about 1: 20 to about 1: 2, preferably from about 1:15 to about 1: 3 provide very satisfactory grease 10 removal. The degree of grease removal obtained from the detergent mixture is greater than that achieved by the individual detergents atone when used under normal conditions.
The detergent compositions of this invention are formulated in powder, granular, tablet, paste, or, preferably, liquid form.
15 Regardless of the form of the composition, it is especially effective in the removal of greasy soils.
A preferred detergent composition containing the above-described detergents is in a liquid form. Such liquid compositions are especially useful for the hand washing of soiled 20 cooking utensils and tableware. The liquid compositions contain from about 5% to about 60%, preferably from about 10% to about 50~ for concentrated products designed for dilution prior to use and preferably from about 1% to about 40% for products designed for use "as is", of the semi-polar non ionic, anionic, and button 25 detergent mixture. The balance of the formula comprises water.
All manner of known additives can be included in the liquid composition. For example, suds boosters, organic solvents, e.g., C1-C5 alkanols (preferably ethanol), perfumes, dyes, and hydra-troves can be added for their known functions.
An especially preferred liquid detergent composition also contains a source of alkalinity for increased greasy soil removal.
Sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, and moo-, dip or trialkanolamines wherein said alkanol moieties contain from one to five, preferably two to three carbon atoms, in 35 either a linear or branched configuration are suitable bases.
Jo * Trademark 1~35~32i~
Normally, the higher chain length branched alkanolamines are moo- or di-substituted. Common alkanolamines are moo- and diisopropanolamines and moo-, dip and triethanolamines.
Sufficient base is added to the composition to raise its pi to above 7.0, but below about 9Ø Such a composition has not only increased greasy soil removal ability, but also the removal is accelerated. Ammonia, dip and triethanolamines and mixtures thereof are preferred sources of alkalinity because of the resultant compositions physical characteristics, i.e., the compositions have good fluidity and viscosity.
A liquid detergent composition having the following formulation is most preferred: -(a) from about 2% to about 6% of a water-soluble amine oxide having one alkyd moiety of from about 8 to about 16 carbon atoms and two alkyd moieties of from 1 to about 3 carbon atoms;
by from about 10% to about 309~ of magnesium alkyd sulfate having from about 12 to about 16 carbon atoms;
(c) from 09~ to 30% of a calcium or magnesium, preferably magnesium, alkyd ether sulfate derived from an alcohol having from about 12 to about 16 carbon atoms ethoxylated with from about 1 to about 12 moles of ethylene oxide (d) from 0% to about 20~ of ammonium, moo-, do-, or triethanolammonium alkyd ether sulfate derived from an alcohol having from about 12 to about 16 carbon attunes ethoxylated with from about 1 to about 12 moles of ethylene oxide;
(e) From about 196 to about 8% of a C12 16 acylamidopropyldimethylbetaine;

(2) and/or (5) are preferred.
The above-described anionic detergents are all available commercially. The acid form of the anionic detergent can be converted to the alkaline earth metal salt form either prior to admixture with the semi-polar non ionic detergent or thereafter.
This conversion can be accomplished either by direct neutralize anion with an alkaline earth metal base or by ion exchange be-tweet, e.g., an alkali metal, ammonium or alkanolammonium salt of the anionic detergent and a no n-toxic, water-soluble alkaline earth metal salt. Preferably, a source of magnesium or calcium ions is added to the detergent mixture under desirable reaction conditions to form the desired salts. Calcium and magnesium chlorides, calcium and magnesium sulfates, calcium and magnesium acetates or calcium and magnesium hydroxides and oxides are examples of magnesium and calcium sources. Magnesium chloride and magnesium sulfate are preferred. Magnesium oxide or hydroxide is most preferred.
The cation of the anionic detergent is important in that the alkaline earth metal salts of the herein described anionic detergent perform better in terms of suds persistence, especially in the presence of grease, than the alkali metal, ammonium or alkanolammonium salts of said anionic detergents when in combination with the semi-polar non ionic detergent and the button detergent. In some cases, a mixture of cations may be desirable 393~4 for optimum physical properties or seducing across a range of conditions and soils, provided sufficient amounts of the anionic surfactan~ are in the alkaline earth metal form to provide the desk red g reuse removal . Up to about 25% of the above anionic 5 detergents can be in the form of their sodium, potassium, ammo-I'm, moo-, dip or triethanolammonium salts, especially ammonium, monoethanolammonium, or triethanolammonium.
