Definitions
- This invention relates to detergent compositions containing low levels of amine oxides.
- These amine oxides are substituted by at least one long chain alkyl or alkenyl group.
- Preferred amine oxides have at least two alkyl, especially methyl, or two alkylene oxide, especially ethylene oxide, groups attached to the nitrogen atom(s).
- These compositions produce an alkaline laundry liquor pH.
- These compositions exhibit a breed range of remarkable textile treatment benefits, particularly enhanced soil release and cleaning properties.
- U.S. Patent 3 985 923, Basadur, issued October 12, 1976, relates to the application of renewable soil release finish during the rinsing step from a dilute aqueous acidic solution.
- the release agent is a copolymer based on a dibasic carboxylic acid and a glycolic compound.
- U.S. Patent 3 962 152 Nicol, Hays, issued June 8, 1976 pertains to the laundry treatment deposition of renewable soil release finish to synthetic treatment fabrics treated therewith.
- the soil release finish consists of ethylene terephthalate and polyethylene oxide terephthalate.
- the performance benefits derived from the utilization of the like additives are premised on the deposition of a releasable coating onto the fiber from the laundry/rinsing step.
- the coating will be rinsed off during the next laundry cycle, inclusive of the total soil accumulated thereon, to thus provide a "non-alterated" degree of cleaning.
- the total prior art refers to the utilization of mostly monoamine oxides in a conventional detergent functionality. It is widely recognized that such aminoxides are good surfactants and indeed have been utilized in commercial detergent executions. However, the art is not suggestive of incidental textile benefits derivable from utilizing unexpectedly low levels of the very components in a non-surfactant functionality.
- the present invention comprises particulate built detergent compositions having enhanced soil release and cleaning properties containing:
- compositions herein have an alkaline pH in the range from 8.5 - 11 (1 % aqueous solution 20°C).
- the detergent compositions of the present invention are defined in five essential parameters:
- Optional ingredients can be added to provide various performance and aesthetic benefits.
- the detergent compositions herein comprise as a first essential component, anionic surface-active agent.
- the anionic surface-active agent represents from 5 % to 25 %, preferably from 5 % to 20 %.
- Suitable anionic detergents include ordinary alkali metal soaps of higher fatty acids containing from about eight to 24 carbon atoms and preferably from 10 to 20 carbon atoms.
- sodium alkyl glyceryl ether sulfonates especially those ethers of higher alcohols derived from tallow and coconut oil
- sodium coconut oil fatty acid monoglyceride sulfonates and sulfates also represent a class of very useful anionic surface-active agents.
- Useful in this invention are also salts of 2-acyloxyalkane-1-sulfonic acids.
- 0-alkoxy alkane sulphonates can also be used.
- Specific examples of ⁇ -alkyloxy alkane sulfonates having low hardness (calcium ion) sensitivity useful herein to provide superior cleaning levels under household washing conditions include: potassium-S-methoxydecanesulfonate, sodium 2-methoxytridecanesulfonate, potassium 2-ethoxyte- tradecylsulfonate, and sodium 2-isopropoxyhexadecylsulfonate.
- Paraffin sulfonates containing a straight or branched chain, saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon radical having from 8 to 24, preferably 12 to 18, carbon atoms can also be used.

- alkyl ether sulfates are those comprising a mixture of individual compounds, said mixture having an average alkyl chain length of from 12 to 16 carbon atoms and an average degree of ethoxylation of from 1 to 4 moles of ethylene oxide.
- Such a mixture also comprises from 0 to 20 % by weight C 12 - 13 compounds; from 60 to 100 % by weight of C 14 - 15 - 16 compounds; form 0 to 20 % by weight of C 17 - 18 - 19 compounds; from 3 to 30 % by weight of compounds having a degree of ethoxylation of 0; from 45 to 90 % by weight of compounds having a degree of ethoxylation of from 1 to 4; from 10 to 25 % by weight of compounds having a degree of ethoxylation of from 4 to 8; and from 0.1 to 15 % by weight of compounds having a degree of ethoxylation greater than 8.
- a second essential component in the compositions herein is represented by an amine oxide having the formula wherein
- This amine oxide component is used in a level from 0.25 % to 0.75 %. Utilizing less than the minimum levels will not provide anymore the inventive benefits, whereas levels above the specified definition will not yield anymore performance advantages but rather unexpectedly causes noticeable cleaning performance negatives, particularly whiteness deficiencies.
