Definitions

  • This invention relates to detergent compositions that clean well and also act as textile softeners.
  • organic textile softening compounds are cationic materials that are reactive towards the anionic surfactants used in conventional laundry detergents. If both types of material are formulated in a single product, they tend to interact on addition to a wash liquor and, although in some instances the resulting complex has useful textile softening properties, its formation normally depresses the cleaning performance of the formulation and is therefore generally considered undesirable.
  • compositions have been proposed that have sought to minimise the mutual reactivity of the anionic and cationic materials by the addition of compatibilising compounds such as the amido amines and fatty acids described in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,886,075 and 3,954,632.
  • compatibilising compounds such as the amido amines and fatty acids described in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,886,075 and 3,954,632.
  • An alternative approach has been to incorporate one of the reactant materials in a form that inhibits its contact with the other in the wash liquor and examples of this type of formulation are taught in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,936,537 and 3,644,203.
  • the performance of these compositions is however sensitive to the washing conditions that are employed.
  • nonionic surfactants have been proposed in place of the conventional anionic surfactants and compositions of this type are described in e.g. British Patent Specification No. 1,079,388, German Auslegeschrift 1,220,956 and U.S. Patent No. 3,607,763.
  • levels of nonionic surfactant sufficient to provide good cleaning impair the softening of the cationic softener.
  • Another proposal to provide acceptable cleaning and textile softening by avoiding the surfactant-softener interaction has been made in British Patent Specification No. 1,514,276 which teaches the use of certain long chain tertiary amines that are nonionic in character at the wash liquor pH existing when a conventional laundry detergent is used.
  • European Patent Application Publication Nos. 0011340 and 0023367 also disclose cleaning and softening compositions comprising a tertiary amine, containing at least one and preferably two C io -C 26 alkyl groups and being of nonionic character under alkaline conditions, in combination with a smectite-type clay in an alkaline anionic surfactant-based detergent.
  • a tertiary amine containing at least one and preferably two C io -C 26 alkyl groups and being of nonionic character under alkaline conditions
  • a smectite-type clay in an alkaline anionic surfactant-based detergent is taught is British Patent Specification No. 1,400,898.
  • This type of softening agent does not affect the cleaning performance of the detergent composition but, if used on its own, requires a high level of incorporation for effective softening performance possibly because the deposition of the clay on fabrics is not very efficient in the presence of anionic surfactants.
  • detergent compositions containing smectite-type clays and certain cationic compounds can be formulated which have cleaning performance equivalent to that of commercially available heavy duty laundry detergents together with textile softening performance that approaches that of rinse added fabric softeners.
  • a granular detergent composition comprising, by weight of the composition,
  • component (e) is a C 12 -C 14 alkyl tri C 1 -C 4 alkyl or C 1 -C 4 hydroxy alkyl ammonium salt and component (b) comprises a montmorillonite.
  • component (e) is added to preformed spray dried detergent granules comprising components (a), (b) and (c).
  • the invention comprises three components, namely the anionic surfactant component (a), the water soluble cationic component (e), and the smectite type clay component (b)
  • anionic surfactants can be used in the compositions of the present invention.
  • Suitable anionic non-soap surfactants are water soluble salts of alkyl benzene sulfonates alkyl sulfates, paraffin sulfonates and alphaolefin sulfonates. Soaps are also suitable anionic surfactants.
  • Especially preferred alkyl benzene sulfonates have 9 to 15 carbon atoms in a linearor branched alkyl chain, more especially 11 to 13 carbon atoms.
  • Suitable alkyl sulfates have 10 to 22 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain, more especially from 12 to 18 carbon atoms.
  • Suitable paraffin sulfonates are essentially linear and contain from 8 to 24 carbon atoms, more especially from 14 to 18 carbon atoms; Suitable alphaolefin sulfonates have 10 to 24 carbon atoms, more especially 14 to 18 carbon atoms; alphaolefin sulfonates can be made by reaction with sulfur trioxide followed by neutralization under conditions such that any sultones present are hydrolyzed to the corresponding hydroxy alkane sulfonates.
  • the alkyl chains of the foregoing non-soap anionic surfactants can be derived from natural sources such as coconut oil or tallow, or can be made synthetically as for example using the Ziegler or Oxo processes. Water solubility can be achieved by using alkali metal, ammonium, or alkanol-ammonium cations; sodium is preferred. Mixtures of anionic surfactants are contemplated by this invention; a satisfactory mixture contains alkyl benzene sulfonate having 11 to 13 carbon atoms in the alkyl group and alkyl sulfate having 12 to 18 carbon atoms is the alkyl group.
  • Suitable soaps contain 8 to 18 carbon atoms, more especially 12 to 18 carbon atoms.
  • Soaps can be made by direct saponification of natural fats and oils such as coconut oil, tallow and palm oil, or by the neutralization of free fatty acids obtained from either natural or synthetic sources.
  • the soap cation can be alkali metal, ammonium or alkanol-ammonium; sodium is preferred.
  • the composition contain 5-10% of anionic surfactant.
  • the second component of the compositions of the present invention is an organic water soluble nitrogenous compound.
  • This can be cationic any quaternary ammonium compound of formula. wherein R 7 is C S -C 14 alkyl, each of R 8 , Rg, and R 10 is independently selected from C 1 -C 4 alkyl and hydroxyethyl and X is an anion.
  • the preferred alkyl chain length for R 7 is C 12 -C 14 particularly where the alkyl groups is a mixture of chain lengths derived from coconut or palm kernel fat or is derived synthetically by olefin build up or OXO alcohol synthesis.
  • Preferred groups for R 8 Rg and R 10 are methyl and hydroxyethyl groups and the anion X may be selected from halide, methosulphate, acetate and phosphate ions.
  • compositions of the present invention combine good softening and cleaning performance and in order to maintain the latter it is essential that the overall surfactant character be anionic.
  • the molar ratio of the cationic component (e) to the anionic surfactant component (a) should therefore be less than 1:1 and desirably should be less than 1:1.5. In preferred embodiments of the invention such as heavy duty laundry detergent formulations, the molar ratio should be less than 1:2.
  • the cationic compound will be present in an amount of from 1 % to 3% by weight of the composition.
  • the third component of the invention is a smectite-type clay having a particle size which cannot be perceived tactilely.
  • Impalpable clays have particle sizes below 50 microns ( ⁇ m): the clays used herein normally have a particle size range of from 5 microns (wm) to less than 50 microns ( ⁇ m).
  • the clay minerals can be descrined as expandable, three-layer days, i.e., aluminosilicates and magnesium silicates, having an ion exchange capacity of at least 50 meq/100 g. of clay and preferably at least 60 meq/100 g. of clay.
  • expandable as used to describe clays relates to the ability of the layered clay structure to be swollen, or expanded, on contact with water.
  • the three-layer expandable clays used herein are those materials classified geologically as smectites.
  • the dioctahedral minerals are primarily trivalent metal ion-based clays and are comprised of the prototype pyrophyllite and the members montmorillonite (OH) 4 Si 4 -y(Al 4-x Mg x )O 20 , nontronite (OH)4Si&yA- ly(AI 4-x Fe x )O 20, and volchonskoite (OH) 4 Si 8 _yAly (Al 4-x Cr x )O 20 , where x has a value of from 0 to 4.0 and y has a value of from 0 to 2.0.
  • montmorillonites having exchange capacities greater than 50 meq/100 g. are suitable for the present invention and provide fabric softening benefits.
  • the trioctahedral minerals are primarily divalent metal ion based and comprise the prototype talc and the members hectorite (OH) 4 Si 8-y Al y (Mg 6-x Li x )O 20 , saponite (OH) 4 Si 8-y Al y (Zn 5-x Al x )O 20 , vermiculite (OH) 4 Si 8 _yAly (Mg 6-x Fe x )O 20 , wherein y has a value of 0 to 6.0.
  • Hectorite and saponite are the only minerals in this class that are of value in the present invention, the fabric softening performance being related to the type of exchangeable cationic as well as to the exchange capacity.
  • the range of the water of hydration in the above formulas can vary with the processing to which the clay has been subjected. This is immaterial to the use of the smectite clays in the present invention in that the expandable characteristics of the hydrated clays are dictated by the silicate lattice structure.
  • the clays employed in the compositions of the present invention contain cationic counterions such as protons, sodium ions, potassium ions, calcium ions, and lithium ions. It is customary to distinguish between clays on the basis of one cation predominantly or exclusively absorbed.
  • a sodium clay is one in which the absorbed cation is predominantly sodium.
  • Such absorbed cations can become involved in exchange reactions with cations present in aqueous solutions.
  • Atypical exchange reaction involving a smectite-type clay is expressed by the following equation.
  • Smectite clay (Na) + smectite clay (NH 4 )+NaOH. Since in the foregoing equilibrium reaction one equivalent weight of ammonium ion replaces an equivalent weight of sodium, it is customary to measure cation exchange capacity (sometimes termed "base exchange capacity") in terms of milli-equivalents per 100 g. of clay (meq/1 00 g).
  • base exchange capacity cation exchange capacity
  • the cation exchange capacity of clays can be measured in several ways, including by electrodialysis, by exchange with ammonium ion followed by titration or by a methylene blue procedure, all as fully set forth in Grimshaw, "The Chemistry and Physics of Clays", pp. 264-265, Interscience (1971).
  • the cation exchange capacity of a clay mineral relates to such factors as the expandable properties of the clay, the charge of the clay, which, in turn, is determined at least in part by the lattice structure, and the like.
  • the ion exchange capacity of clays varies widely in the range from 2 meq/100 g. for kaolinites to 150 meq/100 g., and greater, for certain smectite clays.
  • Illite clays although having a three layer structure, are of a non-expanding lattice type and have an ion exchange capacity somewhere in the lower portion of the range, i.e., around 26 meq/100 g. for an average illite clay.
  • Attapulgites another class of clay minerals, have a spicular (i.e. needle-like) crystalline form with a low cation exchange capacity (25-30 meq/100 g.).
  • Their structure is composed of chains of silica tetrahedrons linked together by octahedral groups of oxygens and hydroxyls containing AI and Mg atoms.
  • smectite clays useful herein can be characterised as montmorillonite, hectorites, and saponite clay minerals having an ion exchange capacity of at least 50 meq/100 g. and preferably at least 60 meq/100 g.
  • Most of the smectite clays useful in the compositions herein are commercially available under various trade names, for example, Thixogel No. 1 and Gelwhite GP from Georgia Kaolin Co., Elizabeth, New Jersey; Imvite K from Industrial Mineral Ventures: Volclay BC and Volclay 325, from American Colloid Co., Skokie Illinois; and Veegum F from R. T. Vanderbilt. It is to be recognised that such smectite minerals obtained under the foregoing tradenames can comprise mixtures of the various discrete mineral entities. Such mixtures of the smectite minerals are suitable for use herein.
  • Gelwhite GP is an extremely white form of smectite clay and is therefore preferred when formulating white granular detergent compositions.
  • Volclay BC which is a smectite clay mineral containing at least 3% of iron (expressed as Fe 2 0 3 ) in the crystal lattice, and which has a very high ion exchange capacity, is one of the most efficient and effective clays for use in detergent softening compositions. Imvite K is also very satisfactory.
  • Appropriate clay minerals for use herein can be selected by virtue of the fact that smectites exhibit a true 14xl 0- 10 x-ray diffraction pattern.
  • This characteristic exchange pattern taken in combination with exchange capacity measurements performed in the manner noted above, provides a basis for selecting particular smectite-type minerals for use in the compositions disclosed herein.
  • the smectite clay minerals useful in the present invention are hydrophilic in nature, i.e., they display swelling characteristics in aqueous media.
  • the smectite clay When used in compositions according to the invention, is present in an amount of from 2% to 12% by weight of the composition.
