Definitions
- the present invention relates to a concentrated softening composition for textile fibers.
- the softening compositions generally consist of 3 to 10% of active softening agents and 90 to 97% of demineralized water.
- the active softening agents are generally either cationic surfactant compounds (most often quaternary ammonium compounds comprising at least 2 long alkyl chains), or mixtures in variable proportions of cationic surfactants and surfactants non-ionic active agents which are combined with additional additives such as perfumes, optical brighteners, colorants, preservatives, bactericides, thickening agents, etc.
- compositions have the drawback of being unable to be manufactured and marketed only in the very diluted state as has been shown, a concentration greater than 10% transforming them into gels which are not dispersible in water when they are used by housewife.
- the industrial-manufacturer is obliged to use demineralized water for the manufacture of its product, the electrolytes of which have been practically eliminated, in order to obtain an emulsion having acceptable homogeneity, stability and consistency at the time of use.
- document FR-A-2 295122 describes a softener-disinfectant composition for textiles which requires to be effective to have a high content of two different types of cationic agents, one of which is a softener and the other a disinfectant; the total of the cationic agents then represents 35 to 80% by weight of the composition.
- Document US-A-4 140 641 describes a mixed detergent softening composition, aiming to combine in a single formula a nonionic detergent agent and a cationic softener component; in such a composition, the nonionic agent must predominate and the cationic agent must be a compound of imidazolinium type. An agent of quaternary ammonium type is expressly excluded from such a composition.
- the object of the present invention is to remedy the above-mentioned drawbacks by proposing a concentrated softening composition which is not in the form of a non-dispersible gel but in the form of a stable viscous solution which is completely dilutable in tap water, even cold. , therefore water which does not need to be demineralized beforehand.
- the user finds, after dilution in tap water and by simple stirring, the product which they usually use, namely a stable homogeneous solution and of a consistency identical to that of existing products commercially, that is to say products sold by the manufacturer in the form of a dilute and viscous solution.
- the concentrated product according to the invention can therefore give, by simple dilution, in tap water for example, a product perfectly suited to the dimensions of the softener tanks of washing machines for laundry currently on the market.
- the product according to the invention is designed, unlike diluted softeners on the market, for washing machines of recent design, provided with a softener tank capable of ensuring a reserve of product for 1 at 2 months to facilitate the housewife's work.
- the product of the invention has 2 essential qualities for such machines: a high concentration which allows the use of a tank of relatively small dimensions, therefore easier to accommodate in such machines and prolonged stability to the cycles of temperature in the washing machine tank. These qualities also make it usable in industrial washing machines.
- the composition according to the invention comprises an active cationic softening agent as well as at least one nonionic emulsifying agent and one or more solvents chosen from methanol, ethanol, isopropanol and solvents of glycol type and water, characterized in that it constitutes after dilution with water a homogeneous stable solution usable as a softening composition for textile fibers; that it comprises 15 to 30% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition of said cationic softening active agent consisting of at least one quaternary ammonium compound, having the formula: in which R1 and R2 represent, independently of one another, alkyl groups having 10 to 22 carbon atoms and interrupted by carboxy or ethoxy functional groups, R3 and R 4 are alkyl or hydroxy alkyl groups having from 1 with 4 carbon atoms, and X represents a halide, methylsulfate or ethylsulfate anion and that the weight ratio of cationic agents to nonionic agents
- the invention is based on the development of a composition having a concentration of active agents which is approximately four to six times greater than the concentration of the compositions currently on the market and capable of giving after dilution in water.
- city a solution of stability and homogeneity comparable to conventional solutions and even having improved softening properties and improved absorbency compared to the prior art.
- compositions having a viscosity which allows easy and homogeneous dilution it can be diluted 3 to 10 times and preferably 4 to 6 times with cold tap water and finally present itself in the same aspect as the usual products and therefore, be used in the same way in washing machines. classic type, and for use when washing by hand.
- the concentrated product can be packaged either in rigid plastic packaging or in flexible plastic packaging.
- this packaging is an intermediate packaging, since the product must be diluted before use. It is therefore more advantageous to use flexible plastic packaging in the form of a dose or for example a container, because the flexible plastic container can be completely emptied of the product it contains by pressing the walls against each other , while the hard plastic packaging should be rinsed to be completely emptied.
- Another advantage of this kind of packaging is that it takes up less space for storage, since the space required for storing doses is 1.4 times the volume of the dose whereas for storing hard plastic packaging, the he space required is 2 to 2.5 times the volume of the product contained in the packaging, depending on the shape of the latter. Shaping flexible plastic packaging is much less expensive than shaping hard plastic packaging.
- the use of the product is done from a bottle in which the product is diluted, and this bottle can be reused many times.
- the volume of the flexible packaging can be adapted to the desired subsequent dilution.
- the usual capacities range, for example, from 50 to 500 cm 3 for a subsequent dilution bringing the volume to 1000 cm3.
- the user transports in a 250 cm3 packaging as much softening power as in a 1000 cm 3 bottle purchased commercially.
- the product sold in this type of packaging offers all guarantees to the user, who, after the first dilution with tap water, obtains a homogeneous dispersion, stable during storage, and of comparable viscosity to that of products sold in diluted form.
- the compound / water / solvent ratio is calculated so as to obtain a product which can be packaged in doses, the viscosity of which is calculated to allow the dose to be filled and emptied quickly, easily and completely.
- the user can transfer the product into a 1 liter bottle, then top up with tap water which must not present a special quality and, after shaking the bottle, obtain a ready-to-use product for use by hand or for machine use.
- the product thus obtained has a usual viscosity for the user, which allows him to distribute the adequate quantity of product constantly.
- the main constituent is therefore the cationic surfactant (s) which can be constituted by different quaternary ammonium compounds of general formula: formula in which R1 and R 2 represent, independently of one another, alkyl groups having from 10 to 22 carbon atoms and interrupted by carboxy, amide or ethoxy functional groups; R3 and R 4 represent alkyl or hydroxyalkyl groups having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and X is an anion: halide, methylsulfate or ethylsulfate.
- R1 and R 2 represent, independently of one another, alkyl groups having from 10 to 22 carbon atoms and interrupted by carboxy, amide or ethoxy functional groups

- the nonionic agent or agents are chosen from the group formed by fatty alcohols containing from 8 to 20 carbon atoms condensed with 3 to 12 molecules of alkylene oxide (preferably ethylene and / or propylene) and alkylphenols comprising an alkyl radical having 8 to 10 carbon atoms condensed with 4 to 12 molecules of alkylene oxide (preferably ethylene and / or propylene).
- compositions containing a specific cationic supplemented with one or more suitable nonionics are due to a composition containing a specific cationic supplemented with one or more suitable nonionics. After a first dilution with cold city water, a dispersion of homogeneity and physical stability is obtained which has never been obtained in the prior art, which is essential for packaging a concentrated product. , in the form of a plastic dose, the price of which is very low compared to the packaging of the prior art.
- this composition remains stable within very wide temperature limits ranging from those which can be reached in the storage tank of washing machines during washing and can, moreover, withstand a storage temperature of up to _25 ° C while regaining its initial consistency after thawing.

Description
La présente invention se rapporte à une composition adoucissante concentrée pour fibres textiles.The present invention relates to a concentrated softening composition for textile fibers.
Les compositions adoucissantes sont généralement constituées de 3 à 10% d'agents adoucissants actifs et 90 à 97% d'eau déminéralisée. Les agents adoucissants actifs sont généralement soit des composés tensio-actifs cationiques (le plus souvent des composés d'ammonium quaternaire comportant au moins 2 chaînes alkyls longues), soit des mélanges en proportions variables d'agents tensio-actifs cationiques et d'agents tensio-actifs non ioniques que l'on combine à des additifs annexes tels que parfums, azurants optiques, colorants, agents de conservation, bactéricides, agents épaississants, etc.The softening compositions generally consist of 3 to 10% of active softening agents and 90 to 97% of demineralized water. The active softening agents are generally either cationic surfactant compounds (most often quaternary ammonium compounds comprising at least 2 long alkyl chains), or mixtures in variable proportions of cationic surfactants and surfactants non-ionic active agents which are combined with additional additives such as perfumes, optical brighteners, colorants, preservatives, bactericides, thickening agents, etc.
Ces compositions présentent l'inconvénient de ne pouvoir être fabriquées et commercialisées qu'à l'état très dilué comme il a été montré, une concentration supérieure à 10% les transformant en des gels non dispersables dans l'eau lorsqu'ils sont utilisés par la ménagère.These compositions have the drawback of being unable to be manufactured and marketed only in the very diluted state as has been shown, a concentration greater than 10% transforming them into gels which are not dispersible in water when they are used by housewife.
En plus l'industriel-fabricant est obligé d'utiliser pour la fabrication de son produit une eau déminéralisée dont les électrolytes ont été pratiquement éliminés, afin d'obtenir une émulsion ayant une homogénéité, une stabilité et une consistance acceptables au moment de l'utilisation.In addition, the industrial-manufacturer is obliged to use demineralized water for the manufacture of its product, the electrolytes of which have been practically eliminated, in order to obtain an emulsion having acceptable homogeneity, stability and consistency at the time of use.
Ceci implique des opérations technologiques supplémentaires pour la déminéralisation de l'eau de ville et en même temps l'utilisation pour un pouvoir adoucissant déterminé d'un emballage et d'un suremballage volumineux et lourd.This implies additional technological operations for the demineralization of city water and at the same time the use for a determined softening power of a bulky and heavy packaging and overpackaging.
Ces inconvénients se répercutent sur le consommateur non seulement au niveau du prix de vente du produit mais également en ce qui concerne le transport et le stockage étant donné qu'ils exigent le transport et le stockage d'un volume et d'un poids importants pour un effet adoucissant relativement faible.These drawbacks have repercussions on the consumer not only at the level of the selling price of the product but also with regard to transport and storage since they require the transport and storage of a large volume and weight for a relatively weak softening effect.
Par ailleurs, le document FR-A-2 295122 décrit une composition assouplissante-désinfectante pour textiles qui nécessite pour être efficace d'avoir une forte teneur en deux types différents d'agents cationiques dont l'un est un assouplissant et l'autre un désinfectant; le total des agents cationiques représente alors 35 à 80% en poids de la composition.Furthermore, document FR-A-2 295122 describes a softener-disinfectant composition for textiles which requires to be effective to have a high content of two different types of cationic agents, one of which is a softener and the other a disinfectant; the total of the cationic agents then represents 35 to 80% by weight of the composition.
Le document US-A-4 140 641 décrit une composition mixte détergente assouplissante, visant à combiner en une formule unique un agent non ionique détergent et un composant cationique assouplissant; dans une telle composition, l'agent non ionique doit prédominer et l'agent cationique doit être un composé de type imidazolinium. Un agent de type ammonium quaternaire est expressément exclu d'une telle composition.Document US-A-4 140 641 describes a mixed detergent softening composition, aiming to combine in a single formula a nonionic detergent agent and a cationic softener component; in such a composition, the nonionic agent must predominate and the cationic agent must be a compound of imidazolinium type. An agent of quaternary ammonium type is expressly excluded from such a composition.
Le document DE-A-2 625 945 décrit des composés de type ammonium quaternaire particuliers; ces composés doivent, pour trouver une utilité comme agents assouplissants pour textiles, comporter:
- soit trois groupes alkyle non substitués en C₁-C₃ et un groupe alkyle non substitué formant une chaîne ramifiée en C₁₆-C₄₄,
- soit deux groupes alkyle non substitué en C₁-C₃, un groupe alkyle non substitué en C₁₀-C₂₄ et un groupe alkyle non substitué formant une chaîne ramifiée en C₁₆-C₄₄.
- either three C₁-C₁ unsubstituted alkyl groups and one unsubstituted alkyl group forming a branched C₁₆-C₄₄ chain,
- or two unsubstituted C₁-C₃ alkyl groups, an unsubstituted C₁₀-C₂₄ alkyl group and an unsubstituted alkyl group forming a branched C₁₆-C₄₄ chain.
La présente invention a pour objet de remédier aux inconvénients ci-dessus mentionnés en proposant une composition adoucissante concentrée ne se présentant pas sous forme de gel non dispersable mais sous la forme dune solution visqueuse stable qui soit totalement diluable dans l'eau de ville même froide, donc de l'eau qui n'a pas besoin d'être déminéralisée au préalable.The object of the present invention is to remedy the above-mentioned drawbacks by proposing a concentrated softening composition which is not in the form of a non-dispersible gel but in the form of a stable viscous solution which is completely dilutable in tap water, even cold. , therefore water which does not need to be demineralized beforehand.
De cette manière, l'utilisateur, notamment la ménagère, retrouve après dilution dans l'eau de ville et par simple agitation le produit qu'elle utilise habituellement, à savoir une solution homogène stable et d'une consistance identique à celle des produits existant dans le commerce, c'est-à-dire des produits vendus par le fabricant sous forme de solution diluée et visqueuse.In this way, the user, in particular the housewife, finds, after dilution in tap water and by simple stirring, the product which they usually use, namely a stable homogeneous solution and of a consistency identical to that of existing products commercially, that is to say products sold by the manufacturer in the form of a dilute and viscous solution.
Le choix d'une viscosité appropriée est essentiel pour ce produit. En effet, si lors d'un transvasement, un produit trop visqueux cause des problèmes de passage d'un récipient à l'autre, un produit trop fluide présente l'inconvénient majeur de débordements et d'éclaboussures désagréables pour la ménagère qui doit doser le produit avant de l'introduire dans l'eau de rinçage, et présente en même temps un risque de salissure et à terme de corrosion pour la machine à laver.The choice of an appropriate viscosity is essential for this product. Indeed, if during a transfer, a too viscous product causes problems of passage from one container to another, a too fluid product has the major disadvantage of overflows and unpleasant splashes for the housewife who must dose the product before introducing it into the rinsing water, and at the same time presents a risk of soiling and eventually corrosion for the washing machine.
Le produit concentré selon l'invention peut donc donner par simple dilution, dans de l'eau de robinet par exemple, un produit parfaitement adapté aux dimensions des bacs à adoucissants des machines à laver le linge actuellement dans le commerce.The concentrated product according to the invention can therefore give, by simple dilution, in tap water for example, a product perfectly suited to the dimensions of the softener tanks of washing machines for laundry currently on the market.
En plus, le produit selon l'invention est conçu, à la différence des produits adoucissants dilués du commerce, pour des machines à laver le linge de conception récente, munies d'un réservoir à adoucissant capable d'assurer une réserve de produit pour 1 à 2 mois afin de faciliter le travail de la ménagère. Effectivement, le produit de l'invention possède 2 qualités essentielles pour de telles machines: une concentration élevée qui permet l'utilisation d'un réservoir de dimensions relativement réduites, donc plus facile à loger dans de telles machines et une stabilité prolongée aux cycles de température qu'il subit dans le réservoir de la machine à laver. Ces qualités le rendent utilisable également dans les machines à laver industrielles.In addition, the product according to the invention is designed, unlike diluted softeners on the market, for washing machines of recent design, provided with a softener tank capable of ensuring a reserve of product for 1 at 2 months to facilitate the housewife's work. Indeed, the product of the invention has 2 essential qualities for such machines: a high concentration which allows the use of a tank of relatively small dimensions, therefore easier to accommodate in such machines and prolonged stability to the cycles of temperature in the washing machine tank. These qualities also make it usable in industrial washing machines.
A cet effet, la composition selon l'invention comprend un agent actif adoucissant cationique ainsi qu'au moins un agent émulsifiant non ionique et un ou plusieurs solvants choisis parmi le méthanol, l'éthanol, l'isopropanol et des solvants de type glycol et de l'eau, caractérisée en ce qu'elle constitue après dilution avec de l'eau une solution homogène stable utilisable comme composition adoucissante pour fibres textiles; qu'elle comprend 15 à 30% en poids par rapport au poids total de la composition dudit agent actif adoucissant cationique constitué par au moins un composé d'ammonium quaternaire, ayant pour formule:
dans laquelle R₁ et R₂ représentent, indépendamment l'un de l'autre, des groupes alkyle ayant 10 à 22 atomes de carbone et interrompus par des groupes fonctionnels carboxy ou éthoxy, R₃ et R4 sont des groupes alkyle ou hydroxy alkyle ayant de 1 à 4 atomes de carbone, et X représente un anion halogénure, méthylsulfate ou éthylsulfate et que le rapport pondéral des agents cationiques aux agents non ioniques est compris entre 10/1 et 3/2.To this end, the composition according to the invention comprises an active cationic softening agent as well as at least one nonionic emulsifying agent and one or more solvents chosen from methanol, ethanol, isopropanol and solvents of glycol type and water, characterized in that it constitutes after dilution with water a homogeneous stable solution usable as a softening composition for textile fibers; that it comprises 15 to 30% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition of said cationic softening active agent consisting of at least one quaternary ammonium compound, having the formula:
in which R₁ and R₂ represent, independently of one another, alkyl groups having 10 to 22 carbon atoms and interrupted by carboxy or ethoxy functional groups, R₃ and R 4 are alkyl or hydroxy alkyl groups having from 1 with 4 carbon atoms, and X represents a halide, methylsulfate or ethylsulfate anion and that the weight ratio of cationic agents to nonionic agents is between 10/1 and 3/2.
Ainsi, l'invention est basée sur la mise au point d'une composition ayant une concentration en agents actifs qui est approximativement quatre à six fois supérieure à la concentration des compositions actuellement sur le marché et susceptible de donner après dilution dans l'eau de ville une solution de stabilité et d'homogénéité comparable aux solutions classiques et même ayant des propriétés adoucissantes améliorées et un pouvoir absorbant amélioré par rapport à l'art antérieur.Thus, the invention is based on the development of a composition having a concentration of active agents which is approximately four to six times greater than the concentration of the compositions currently on the market and capable of giving after dilution in water. city a solution of stability and homogeneity comparable to conventional solutions and even having improved softening properties and improved absorbency compared to the prior art.
Le choix des composants et leurs proportions ont été étudiés de manière à obtenir une composition ayant une viscosité qui permet une dilution facile et homogène; elle peut être diluée 3 à 10 fois et de préférence 4 à 6 fois avec de l'eau de ville froide et se présenter finalement sous le même aspect que les produits habituels et donc, être utilisée de la même manière dans les machines à laver de type classique, et pour l'utilisation lors d'un lavage à la main.The choice of components and their proportions have been studied so as to obtain a composition having a viscosity which allows easy and homogeneous dilution; it can be diluted 3 to 10 times and preferably 4 to 6 times with cold tap water and finally present itself in the same aspect as the usual products and therefore, be used in the same way in washing machines. classic type, and for use when washing by hand.
Le produit concentré peut être conditionné soit en emballage plastique rigide, soit en emballage plastique souple. Mais, cet emballage est un emballage intermédiaire, puisque le produit doit être dilué avant utilisation. Il est alors plus intéressant d'utiliser un emballage plastique souple sous forme de dose ou par exemple de berlingot, parce que le berlingot en plastique souple peut être vidé complètement du produit qu'il contient en appuyant les parois l'une sur l'autre, alors que l'emballage en plastique dur devrait être rincé pour être complètement vidé. Un autre avantage de ce genre d'emballage est qu'il prend moins de place au stockage, puisque l'espace nécessaire pour ranger des doses est 1,4 fois le volume de la dose alors que pour ranger des emballages en plastique dur, l'espace nécessaire est de 2 à 2,5 fois le volume du produit contenu dans l'emballage, suivant la forme de ce dernier. Le façonnage d'un emballage en plastique souple est beaucoup moins onéreux que celui d'un emballage en plastique dur. Toutes ces raisons sont en faveur d'un emballage qui a pour seules fonctions, le transport et le stockage du produit dans les conditions les plus simples, les plus faciles et les moins onéreuses. L'utilisation du produit se fait à partir d'un flacon dans lequel on dilue le produit, et ce flacon peut être réutilisé de nombreuses fois. Le volume de l'emballage souple peut être adapté à la dilution ultérieure désirée. Les contenances usuelles vont, par exemple, de 50 à 500 cm3 pour une dilution ultérieure amenant le volume à 1000 cm³. On peut, par exemple, conditionner la composition de la présente invention dans un berlingot de 250 cm3 . Ainsi, lorsqu'il achète une dose de produit, l'utilisateur transporte dans un emballage de 250 cm³ autant de pouvoir adoucissant que dans un flacon de 1000 cm3 acheté dans le commerce.The concentrated product can be packaged either in rigid plastic packaging or in flexible plastic packaging. However, this packaging is an intermediate packaging, since the product must be diluted before use. It is therefore more advantageous to use flexible plastic packaging in the form of a dose or for example a container, because the flexible plastic container can be completely emptied of the product it contains by pressing the walls against each other , while the hard plastic packaging should be rinsed to be completely emptied. Another advantage of this kind of packaging is that it takes up less space for storage, since the space required for storing doses is 1.4 times the volume of the dose whereas for storing hard plastic packaging, the he space required is 2 to 2.5 times the volume of the product contained in the packaging, depending on the shape of the latter. Shaping flexible plastic packaging is much less expensive than shaping hard plastic packaging. All these reasons are in favor of packaging which has the sole function of transporting and storing the product under the simplest, easiest and least expensive conditions. The use of the product is done from a bottle in which the product is diluted, and this bottle can be reused many times. The volume of the flexible packaging can be adapted to the desired subsequent dilution. The usual capacities range, for example, from 50 to 500 cm 3 for a subsequent dilution bringing the volume to 1000 cm³. One can, for example, condition the composition of the present invention in a 250 cm 3 carton. Thus, when buying a dose of product, the user transports in a 250 cm³ packaging as much softening power as in a 1000 cm 3 bottle purchased commercially.
Le produit vendu dans ce type d'emballage offre toute garantie à l'utilisateur à qui il permet après la première dilution avec de l'eau de ville, d'obtenir une dispersion homogène, stable à la conservation, et d'une viscosité comparable à celle des produits vendus sous forme diluée.The product sold in this type of packaging offers all guarantees to the user, who, after the first dilution with tap water, obtains a homogeneous dispersion, stable during storage, and of comparable viscosity to that of products sold in diluted form.
En outre, le rapport composé/eau/solvant est calculé de manière à obtenir un produit pouvant être conditionné en doses dont la viscosité est calculée pour permettre de remplir et de vider rapidement, facilement et totalement la dose.In addition, the compound / water / solvent ratio is calculated so as to obtain a product which can be packaged in doses, the viscosity of which is calculated to allow the dose to be filled and emptied quickly, easily and completely.
En conséquence, dans le cas d'un produit conditionné dans des berlingots plastiques, par exemple de 250 cm3 , l'utilisateur peut transférer le produit dans un flacon de 1 litre, puis compléter avec de l'eau de ville qui ne doit pas présenter une qualité spéciale et, après agitation du flacon, obtenir un produit prêt à l'emploi pour l'usage à la main ou pour l'usage en machine. Le produit ainsi obtenu a une viscosité habituelle pour l'utilisateur, ce qui lui permet de distribuer la quantité adéquate de produit de façon constante.Consequently, in the case of a product packaged in plastic cartons, for example of 250 cm 3 , the user can transfer the product into a 1 liter bottle, then top up with tap water which must not present a special quality and, after shaking the bottle, obtain a ready-to-use product for use by hand or for machine use. The product thus obtained has a usual viscosity for the user, which allows him to distribute the adequate quantity of product constantly.
Dans la composition, objet de l'invention, le constituant principal est donc le ou les agents tensio-actifs cationiques qui peuvent être constitués par différents composés d'ammonium quaternaire de formule générale:
Parmi ces composés d'ammonium quaternaire, on peut citer plus particulièrement le chlorure de di(stéaroyl-oxyéthyl-)diméthyl ammonium, le chlorure de di-(lauryl-hydroxypropyl-)diméthyl ammonium, le méthylsulfate de di(stéaroyl-oxyéthyl-)diméthyl ammonium, le chlorure de di(palmytoyl-oxyéthyl)diméthyl ammonium, le méthylsulfate de di(stéaroyl-oxyéthyl-)hydroxy-éthyl-méthyl ammonium, le méthylsulfate de di(palmitoyl-oxyéthyl-)hydroxy-éthyl-méthyl ammonium, le méthylsulfate de di(oléoyloxyéthyl-)hydroxyéthyl-méthyl ammonium, l'éthylsulfate de di(stéaroyl-oxyéthyl-)hydroxyéthyl-méthyl ammonium, l'éthylsulfate de di(palmitoyl-oxyéthyl-) hydroxyéthylméthyl ammonium, l'éthylsulfate de di(oléoyl-oxyéthyl-) hydroxyéthyl-méthyl ammonium.Among these quaternary ammonium compounds, there may be mentioned more particularly di (stearoyl-oxyethyl-) dimethyl ammonium chloride, di- (lauryl-hydroxypropyl-) dimethyl ammonium chloride, di (stearoyl-oxyethyl- methylsulfate) dimethyl ammonium, di (palmytoyl-oxyethyl) dimethyl ammonium chloride, di (stearoyl-oxyethyl-) hydroxy-ethyl-methyl-ammonium methyl sulphate, di (palmitoyl-oxyethyl-) hydroxy-ethyl-methyl-methyl ammonium methyl sulphate di (oleoyloxyethyl-) hydroxyethyl-methyl ammonium methyl sulfate, di (stearoyl-oxyethyl-) hydroxyethyl-methyl ammonium ethyl sulfate, di (palmitoyl-oxyethyl-) hydroxyethyl methyl ammonium ethyl sulfate, di (oleoyl- ethyl sulfate oxyethyl-) hydroxyethyl-methyl ammonium.
Néanmoins, dans cette catégorie, les composés utilisés de manière préférentielle sont les méthylsulfates de di(stéaroyl-oxyéthyl-) méthyl-hydroxyéthyl ammonium, les méthylsulfates de di(palmitoyl-oxyéthyl-) méthyl-hydroxyéthyl ammonium, et les méthylsulfates de di(oléoyl-oxyéthyl-)méthyl-hydroxyéthyl ammonium, seuls ou en mélange.However, in this category, the compounds preferably used are di (stearoyl-oxyethyl-) methyl-hydroxyethyl ammonium methylsulfates, di (palmitoyl-oxyethyl-) methyl-hydroxyethyl ammonium methylsulfates, and di (oleoyl methylsulfates) -oxyethyl-) methyl-hydroxyethyl ammonium, alone or as a mixture.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le ou les agents non ioniques sont choisis dans le groupe formé par les alcools gras contenant de 8 à 20 atomes de carbone condensés avec 3 à 12 molécules d'oxyde d'alkylène (de préférence d'éthylène et/ou de propylène) et les alkylphénols comportant un radical alkyle ayant de 8 à 10 atomes de carbone condensés avec 4 à 12 molécules d'oxyde d'alkylène (de préférence d'éthylène et/ou de propylène).According to another characteristic of the invention, the nonionic agent or agents are chosen from the group formed by fatty alcohols containing from 8 to 20 carbon atoms condensed with 3 to 12 molecules of alkylene oxide (preferably ethylene and / or propylene) and alkylphenols comprising an alkyl radical having 8 to 10 carbon atoms condensed with 4 to 12 molecules of alkylene oxide (preferably ethylene and / or propylene).
Ainsi, ces caractéristiques sont dues à une composition contenant un cationique spécifique additionné d'un ou plusieurs non-ioniques appropriés. On obtient, après une première dilution à l'eau de ville froide, une dispersion d'une homogénéité et d'une stabilité physique qui n'avait jamais pu être obtenue dans l'art antérieur, ce qui est indispensable pour conditionner un produit concentré, sous forme de dose en matière plastique dont le prix est très faible par rapport aux emballages de l'art antérieur.Thus, these characteristics are due to a composition containing a specific cationic supplemented with one or more suitable nonionics. After a first dilution with cold city water, a dispersion of homogeneity and physical stability is obtained which has never been obtained in the prior art, which is essential for packaging a concentrated product. , in the form of a plastic dose, the price of which is very low compared to the packaging of the prior art.
De plus, cette composition reste stable dans des limites de température très larges allant de celles pouvant être atteintes dans le bac de stockage des machines à laver au cours du lavage et peut, par ailleurs, supporter une température d'emmagasinage allant jusqu'à _25°C tout en retrouvant sa consistance initiale après dégel.In addition, this composition remains stable within very wide temperature limits ranging from those which can be reached in the storage tank of washing machines during washing and can, moreover, withstand a storage temperature of up to _25 ° C while regaining its initial consistency after thawing.
Néanmoins, pour leur permettre de prétendre à une large diffusion auprès du public, il est indispensable d'ajouter aux compositions, objet de l'invention, une quantité relativement importante de parfum.However, to allow them to claim wide distribution to the public, it is essential to add to the compositions, object of the invention, a relatively large amount of perfume.
Par suite, selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, on ajoute à la composition des agents émulsifiants des huiles dans l'eau ayant une valeur HLB comprise entre 10 et 16, appartenant à la classe des non-ioniques; de tels agents sont de préférence des esters de sorbitan et/ou des esters poly-oxyéthylénés de sorbitan.Consequently, according to another characteristic of the invention, oils in water are added to the composition of the emulsifying agents having an HLB value of between 10 and 16, belonging to the class of nonionics; such agents are preferably sorbitan esters and / or poly-oxyethylenated sorbitan esters.
En effet, dans la composition de la présente invention, il a été constaté que l'addition d'une très faible quantité de ces produits permet d'obtenir une incorporation des parfums sans séparation ultérieure de phase et une stabilité à une longue conservation.In fact, in the composition of the present invention, it has been found that the addition of a very small amount of these products makes it possible to obtain incorporation of the perfumes without subsequent phase separation and stability over a long shelf life.
Par ailleurs, l'addition dans des quantités déterminées d'un solvant ou d'un mélange de solvants choisi parmi le méthanol, l'éthanol, l'isopropanol et des solvants du type glycol et de l'eau, est nécessaire pour l'ajustement de la viscosité et pour l'obtention d'une émulsion bien homogène et finement dispersée.Furthermore, the addition in determined quantities of a solvent or a mixture of solvents chosen from methanol, ethanol, isopropanol and solvents of the glycol type and of water is necessary for the viscosity adjustment and to obtain a very homogeneous and finely dispersed emulsion.
Les propriétés particulièrement intéressantes des compositions, objet de l'invention, vont être démontrées en se référant aux tests suivants, dans lesquels les propriétés adoucissantes de ces compositions sont comparées avec celles d'un produit habituel à base de chlorure de di-suif hydrogénédi-méthyl ammonium.The particularly advantageous properties of the compositions which are the subject of the invention will be demonstrated by referring to the following tests, in which the softening properties of these compositions are compared with those of a usual product based on hydrogenated di-tallow chloride. methyl ammonium.
Pour cela, on lave dans une machine à laver domestique des serviettes éponge et des tissus de percale de coton avec une poudre de lavage normalisée et on introduit dans la machine à laver 60 cm3 de composition adoucissante pour le rinçage final. Les serviettes éponge et les tissus de percale de coton sont séchés verticalement.
- a) Pouvoir adoucissant.
Cet essai se fait sur des serviettes éponge:
un panel de personnes exercées apprécie le toucher des serviettes et note chaque produit par rapport au produit témoin.
Le produit témoin est noté 0.
Les produits donnant un toucher supérieur au témoin sont notés de + à + + +.
Les produits donnant un toucher inférieur au témoin sont notés de - + - - -. - b) Pouvoir de remouillage.
- a) Softening power.
This test is done on terry towels:
a panel of trained people appreciates the feel of the towels and rates each product compared to the control product.
The control product is noted 0.
Products giving a touch greater than the control are rated from + to + + +.
The products giving a touch lower than the control are marked with - + - - -. - b) Rewetting power.
Les compositions habituelles qui ont un bon pouvoir adoucissant ont l'inconvénient de rendre les tissus hydrophobes, c'est-à-dire que les tissus perdent une partie de leur pouvoir absorbant, ce qui est désagréable, en particulier pour les serviettes éponge dont la principale fonction est d'absorber l'eau.The usual compositions which have a good softening power have the drawback of rendering the fabrics hydrophobic, that is to say that the fabrics lose part of their absorbing power, which is unpleasant, in particular for terry towels whose main function is to absorb water.
Cet essai se fait sur la percale de coton. On mesure la montée capillaire d'une solution aqueuse sur des éprouvettes de tissu de 2 cm de large. On note le pourcentage de remouillage par rapport au tissu témoin qui a été lavé et non adouci.This test is done on cotton percale. The capillary rise of an aqueous solution is measured on 2 cm wide tissue test tubes. The percentage of rewetting is noted relative to the control fabric which has been washed and not softened.
Composition témoin.Sample composition.
On disperse sous forte agitation 66,66 g de chlorure de di-suif hydrogéné-diméthyl ammonium à 75% dans 928 g d'eau déminéralisée à 60°C et contenant 5 g de nonylphénol condensé avec 9 molécules d'oxyde d'éthylène. On obtient une solution adoucissante contenant 5% d'agent cationique.66.66 g of hydrogenated di-tallow chloride-dimethyl ammonium at 75% are dispersed with vigorous stirring in 928 g of demineralized water at 60 ° C. and containing 5 g of nonylphenol condensed with 9 molecules of ethylene oxide. A softening solution containing 5% of cationic agent is obtained.
On mélange à 40°C, 235 g d'une solution à 85% de méthylsulfate N méthyl, NN di(βC₁₄C₁₈-acyloxyéthyl), N-β-hydroxyéthyl ammonium avec 20 g d'alcool gras oxy-éthylénés et 80 g d'isopropanol. On disperse cette préparation dans 700 g d'eau de ville contenant le colorant. On ajoute ensuite le parfum dispersé par un ester oxy-éthyléné de sorbitan. On obtient une composition opaque et homogène à 20% de matière adoucissante ayant une viscosité suffisamment faible de 200 à 300 millipascals.seconde pour que le produit se disperse facilement dans l'eau (la viscosité est déterminée au moyen d'un viscosimètre commercialisé sous la dénomination EPPRECHT TVB mobile 2).235 g of an 85% solution of methylsulfate N methyl, NN di (βC₁₄C₁₈-acyloxyethyl), N-β-hydroxyethyl ammonium are mixed at 20 ° C. with 20 g of oxy-ethylenated fatty alcohol and 80 g of isopropanol. This preparation is dispersed in 700 g of city water containing the dye. The perfume dispersed by an oxyethylenated ester of sorbitan is then added. An opaque and homogeneous composition is obtained at 20% of softening material having a sufficiently low viscosity of 200 to 300 millipascals. Second so that the product is easily dispersed in water (the viscosity is determined by means of a viscometer sold under the name EPPRECHT TVB mobile 2).
On met 250 g de cette composition dans un flacon, on ajoute 750 g d'eau de ville froide et par agitation du flacon, on obtient une composition adoucissante dont la viscosité est identique à celle des produits existants: 40 à 80 millipascals.seconde et dont les qualités adoucissantes sont supérieures à celles obtenues avec le chlorure de di-suif hydrogéné-diméthyl ammonium à la place de ce cationique. De plus, les tissus adoucis avec cette composition ont un pouvoir de remouillage supérieur à ceux adoucis avec la composition témoin (voir tableau annexe 1).250 g of this composition are put in a bottle, 750 g of cold city water are added and by shaking the bottle, a softening composition is obtained whose viscosity is identical to that of existing products: 40 to 80 millipascals.second and whose softening qualities are superior to those obtained with hydrogenated di-tallow chloride-dimethyl ammonium in place of this cationic. In addition, the fabrics softened with this composition have a higher wetting power than those softened with the control composition (see table in annex 1).
On reprend l'exemple 1 dans lequel, on ajoute 5 g de nonylphénol oxyéthyléné, avant l'addition du mélange de parfum et d'ester oxyéthyléné de sorbitan. On obtient une composition opaque et homogène dont la viscosité est comprise entre 100 et 200 millipascals.seconde.Example 1 is repeated, in which 5 g of oxyethylenated nonylphenol are added, before the addition of the mixture of perfume and oxyethylenated sorbitan ester. An opaque and homogeneous composition is obtained, the viscosity of which is between 100 and 200 millipascals.second.
On met 250 g de cette composition dans un flacon d'un litre et on ajoute 750 g d'eau de ville et on agite. On obtient une composition adoucissante bien dispersée dont la viscosité est comprise entre 40 et 80 millipascals.seconde. Les tissus traités avec cette composition ont les mêmes qualités que ceux traités avec l'exemple 1.250 g of this composition are put in a one liter bottle and 750 g of city water are added and the mixture is stirred. A well dispersed softening composition is obtained, the viscosity of which is between 40 and 80 millipascals.second. The fabrics treated with this composition have the same qualities as those treated with Example 1.
On reprend l'exemple 1 et on ajoute 5 g d'un alcool gras en C₁₂-C14 oxyéthyiéné avec 9 molécules d'oxyde d'éthylène, et on opère comme dans l'exemple 2.Example 1 is used again and 5 g of a C alcool-C 14 fatty alcohol oxyethylenated with 9 molecules of ethylene oxide are added, and the procedure is as in Example 2.
On obtient un produit dont la viscosité est de 200 à 300 millipascals.seconde et dont les propriétés adoucissantes sont identiques à celles de l'exemple 2.A product is obtained whose viscosity is 200 to 300 millipascals.second and whose softening properties are identical to those of Example 2.
On reprend l'exemple 3, et on ajoute 10 g d'alcool gras en C₁₂-C14 oxyéthyléné et on opère comme dans l'exemple 3.Example 3 is repeated, and 10 g of oxyethylenated C₁₂-C 14 fatty alcohol are added and the procedure is as in Example 3.
On obtient une composition ayant une viscosité comprise entre 700 et 900 millipascals.seconde. Cette composition est très difficile à couler et la dilution dans l'eau de ville est très difficile, il faut exercer une agitation très énergique pour obtenir une solution diluée homogène.A composition is obtained having a viscosity of between 700 and 900 millipascals.second. This composition is very difficult to pour and the dilution in tap water is very difficult, very vigorous stirring is necessary to obtain a homogeneous dilute solution.
Avec cette solution diluée et homogénéisée, on obtient les mêmes propriétés adoucissantes et le même pouvoir de remouillage que dans l'exemple 3.
