Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to novel fabric softeners, compositions containing them and the use thereof for the treatment of fabrics.
- It has been proposed that certain quaternised amido amines, quaternised imidazolines prepared by cyclising amido amines, quaternised mixtures of imidazolines and amido amines, and quaternised tertiary amines impart good softening and rewetability properties to fabrics when applied after washing, and especially after washing in non-soap detergents.
- The more effective of the known fabric softening compounds, those that have hitherto actually been used commercially, are all relatively expensive and inconvenient to make. The majority are quaternary ammonium salts which are quaternised by means of reagents such as dimethyl sulphate or methyl chloride. These reagents are highly toxic, so that their use is hazardous and requires expensive precautions both to protect workers and to avoid contamination of the product with toxic residues.
- According to R.R. Egan in J. American Oil Chemists Society January 1978 Vol. 55, p 118 to 121, the five most commonly found active softening agents in consumer products purchased in the U.S.A. are all quaternary nitrogen compounds:-(I) a methyl chloride quaternised tertiary amine,(II)adimethylsulphate quaternised tertiary amine,(II) a dimethyl sulphate quaternised polyethoxylated di amido amine, (IV) a diittethyl sulphate quaternised polypropoxylated diamido amine and(V) a diemthyl sulphate quaternised alkyl amido alkyl imidazoline.
- German Patent Application No. 2520150 (Brit. Pat. 1,483,984) for example describes the preparation of a quaternised mixture of a diamido diethylenetriamine and an imidazoline. The presence of the quaternised diamido diethylenetriamine is said to lower the softening effect of the mixture compared with the quaternised imidazoline alone but to improve the rewettability of the fabric after washing, which most known fabric softeners reduce. The patent implies that quaternised diamido diethylenetriamines alone are not effective fabric softeners.
- We have now discovered that when unquaternised diamidoamines are partially neutralised, they provide salts which are surprisingly more effective as fabric softeners than any of the fabric softeners in common commercial use, including the quaternised imidazoline softeners and the quaternised imidazoline/amido amine mixtures. They are moreover considerably more convenient to make, and potentially safer, since they do not require the use of highly toxic reagents. Surpisingly we have also found that they perform better in tests for skin irritancy than current commercially available fabric softeners.
- However, unquatermsed diamido amines, their salts and partial salts tend to be intractable solids at room temperature, which even on dilution with a suitable solvent e.g. 25% of a lower alkanol such as isopropanol, hexylene glycol, propylene glycol or mixtures thereof, are still too viscous for convenient handling.
- We have now further discovered that certain novel unquaternised hydroxyalkyl diamido amine salts, can be obtained as mobile pastes in the presence of the aforesaid solvents, and exhibit much improved handling characteristics, while retaining the desirable softening properties which we have found to be characteristic of the unquaternised diamido amines. The novel salts also perform well in rewettability tests, which is unusual for such effective softeners. We have'not found that the compounds of this invention cause significantly more yellowing of fabric than quaternary softeners.
- Our invention therefore provides a novel composition which comprises a water dispersible amido amine of the average formula:
- The preferred compounds are those wherein n and m are each 2. Preferably the acyl groups are derived from tallow or lard.
- The products of our invention optionally but preferably contain a compatible amount, up to 70%, preferably 10 to 50%, e.g. 25% by weight, of a fluid, water miscible hydroxyaliphatic solvent.
- Typically, any water miscible hydroxy-, or polyhydroxy-, alkane or alkylether having a viscosity of less than 30 centipoises at 20°C may be used. Preferred examples include isopropanol, hexylene glycol, propylene glycol, ethylene glycol monomethylether and mixtures thereof.
- Preferably the hydroxyalkyl amido amine is partially (e.g. from 10% to 80%, preferably 20 to 60%) neutralised with a lower carboxylic or hydroxycarboxylic acid, e.g. acetic, formic, propionic, lactic or glycollic acid. The product may additionally contain a minor proportion of salts of inorganic acids especially sulphites, which help to stabilise the product against oxidation.
- The novel amido amines of our invention may be obtained by controlled alkoxylation of an amido amine prepared by amidating a polyalkylene polyamine, e.g. by heating it with the necessary amount of a glyceryl ester to provide the desired alkyl groups in the correct proportions. Alternatively, the polyamine may be heated with a fatty acid or methyl ester thereof while distilling off water or methanol respectively. Preferably the heating is carried out at temperatures above 100°C but not sufficiently high to decompose any glycerol formed. To avoid cyclisation and maintain the product as an amido amine the temperature should be maintained below 180°C and preferably at 120 to 160°C, e.g. 140°C.
- Higher temperatures, up to 300°C, particularly with the application of a purge gas or vacuum will cause the amido amine to cyclise to the imidazoline with the loss of water.
- Heating is preferably carried in an inert atmosphere to prevent colour degradations, e.g. under nitrogen for from 2 to 6, preferably 4 hours. The product may then be reacted with ethylene or propylene oxide at a temperature between 100 and 200°C. The presence of a catalyst should generally be avoided in order to prevent formation of polyoxyalkylene chains. The solvent may be added after alkoxylation to facilitate dispersion of the product in water.
- The invention provides softening compositions comprising the novel amido amine, any glycerol remaining from the preparation of the diamide and the added solvent. The novel products of our invention maybe used in conventional manner, e.g. as a post-rinse after washing.
- The substantially monoethoxylated products of our invention are significantly more fluid in the presence of organic solvent than corresponding non-ethoxylated diamidoamines.
- To a reactor fitted with a heating/cooling jacket, stirrer and nitrogen purge 1560 kg of deodourised tallow glyceride, mole weight 872, was added and heated to 50°C.
- The vessel was evacuated and flushed with nitrogen to displace most of the air.
- 287 kg of diethylene triamine, 98% purity, was added over 5 minutes., no exotherm was observed, and the charge was heated to 140°C over 60 minutes. This temperature was maintained for 240 minutes whilst a slow stream of nitrogen was passed into the charge. A determination of base value and free ester value of the charge showed that the reaction to form the diamido amine was complete.
-
- To the product of the reaction above at 60 - 65°C was added propylene, glycol and isopropyl alcohol, the solution cooled to 36°C and sulphur dioxide and acetic acid added.
-
- The product is a hazy, mobile, pumpable liquid at 20°C.
- The above preparation was repeated but without the addition of solvents. The product was a waxy solid which was fluid at 40 to 45°C. On dilution to 75% with isopropanol the product became pourable at 20 C.
- The addition of a small quantity of S02 to the di tallow amido amine ethoxylate, which also partially neutralises the amine, allows the use of less acetic acid and overcomes the acetic acid odour which might otherwise be apparent in the concentrate or the diluted fabric softener. The addition of SO2 also yields a lighter colour product which is less prone to colour deterioration on storage.
- Domestic fabric softener formulations normally consist of concentrated fabric softener solutions as prepared in examples 1 and 2 dispersed into water to yeild translucent liquids containing normally 2% to 8% "active" softener. By "active" we mean the non solvent component in a fabric softener concentrate.
- The ease with which these dispersions can be made is of considerable practical importance to the formulator as is the appearance and storage stability of the formulated dispersions.
-
- As stated in Example 3 the appearance and stability of the aqueous dispersion of the concentrates is important for consumer acceptability. Products which yield stable dispersions with viscosities in the range 100 to 500 centipoise as measured by a "Brookfield" viscometer, model LVT, find ready consumer acceptability. Products which give dispersions which change viscosity on storage are obviously undesirable.
- In general compound type I gives very high viscosity 6% active dispersions which must be reduced by additives and special preparative techniques. (As described in J. Amer. Oil Chem. Soc. Vol 56, p 542, April 1979).
-
- Dispersions prepared from products of examples 1 and 2 are stable to extended storage.
- The product of example 2 was evaluated against compounds of type I and III where n = 1 in a panel evaluation test as follows.
- 6% active dispersions of each material were prepared using soft water (20 ppm). These solutions were then further diluted with water. Napkins woven from 60% cotton and 40% polyester were washed in an automatic washing machine using a conventional low foam automatic washing powder. These napkins were then soaked for 10 minutes at 20 to 25°C in the dilute dispersion of softener.
- The weight of active material used was in the range 0.1 to 0.3% of the napkin weight.
- The napkins were then wrung out by hand and dried on a clothes line under the same conditions.
-
- The significance of these results were assessed using the method devised by Kromer - Journal of Food Technology 1963 - 17/12/124.
- The example 2 product is at least as good as the best commercial type as found by Egen and significantly better than type III, n=1.
-
-
-
- For a set of 4 samples and a panel of 20 the significance range is 37 to 58, i.e. there is no significant difference between these 4 samples.
- It is a well known fact that excessive or continual use of certain fabric conditioning materials can produce a waterproofing effect on fabrics. This effect is undesirable, particularly on fabrics designed for their moisture absorbancy e.g. towels and baby diapers.
- Napkins treated by the same technique as that used to prepare the samples for the softening evaluation above were cut into strips and the test strips suspended in an aqueous solution of a dye, Kiton green (0.5 gm/litre, temperature = 20°C).
- The rate at which the dye front travelled above the solution was measured.
-
- The product of Example 2 shows better rewettability properties than type I which has a similar softening ability.
