Definitions

  • This invention relates to detergent compositions containing specific alkyl sulfate, specific sulfonate and cationic detergent surfactans for use in washing textiles.
  • the compositions can be in any form, such as granules, liquids, tablets or pastes.
  • the detergent compositions within the invention contain a detergency builder and/or a nonionic surfactant and/or a fatty acid soap and/or enzymes.
  • Cationic surfactants have been incorporated in detergent compositions for purposes other than cleaning; for example, for a germicidal or sanitization benefit, a fabric softening benefit or a static control benefit. More recently it has been disclosed that cationic surfactants in combination with anionic and/or nonionic surfactants are effective for cleaning purposes.
  • Patent 4,235,759 discloses liquid detergent compositions that are superior in detergency containing an alkyl polyoxyalkylene ether sulfate anionic surfactant and a mono- long chain alkyl quaternary ammonium cationic surfactant wherein the molar ratio of anionic surfactant:cationic surfactant is from 8:1 to 1:1.
  • U.S. Patent 4,321,165, Smith et al discloses solid detergent compositions containing from 2% to 60% of a surfactant system consisting of a water-soluble anionic surfactant, an alkoxylated alcohol nonionic surfactant and a water-soluble quaternary ammonium cationic surfactant wherein the ratio of anionic surfactant:cationic surfactant is from 5:1 to 1:3 and the ratio of nonionic surfactant:cationic surfactant is from 100:1 to 2:3. It is disclosed that such compositions have improved greasy soil removal capabilities.
  • European Patent Application 0,026,529, Spadini et al discloses detergent compositions containing from 3% to 40% of an anionic surfactant, from 0.5% to 15% of a mono-long chain alkyl quaternary ammonium compound or an aliphatic amine and from 1.5% to 45% of an impalpable smectite-type clay wherein the molar ratio of the nitrogenous compound:anionic surfactant is less than 1. It is stated that such compositions clean well and also act as textile softeners.
  • U.S. Patent 4,333,862, Smith et al discloses liquid detergent compositions containing from about 10% to about 82% of an anionic surfactant, from about 10% to about 82% of an alkoxylated alcohol nonionic surfactant and from about 4% to about 35% of a water-soluble quaternary salt cationic surfactant. It is disclosed that such combinations exhibit improved cleaning performance on greasy and oily soils.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide detergent compositions that provide such benefits over a wide range of washing temperatures.
  • the present invention comprises a detergent composition containing, by weight:
  • This invention comprises detergent compositions containing an essential three component detergent surfactant system consisting of specific alkyl sulfate, specific sulfonate and cationic detergent surfactants.
  • This specific three component surfactant system is an extremely effective detergent. It is particularly effective on organic soils, for example, lipid, greasy and oily soils. Also, the use of such system results in an unusually low level of soil redeposition. Soil redeposition results when soil that is removed from the textiles into the wash liquor during the wash process is redeposited onto the textiles.
  • the detergent compositions within the invention provide the desired superior performance over a broad range of wash water conditions.
  • the wash water temperature can range from 5°C to 95°C.
  • the initial pH of the wash liquor i.e., the detergent composition and wash water mixture, should be greater than 8 and most preferably should be from 9 to 11.
  • the detergent compositions within the invention can be in any form, such as granules, liquids, tablets or pastes, but the granular compositions are preferred.
  • the granules can range in density from .15 grams/cubic centimeter to .8 grams/cubic centimeter.
  • the detergent compositions within the invention provide the desired superior performance on organic soils because the alkyl sulfate detergent surfactant and the sulfonate surfactant each form an electro-neutral complex with the cationic surfactant.
  • the mechanism of organic soil removal is believed to be based upon the surfactant adsorbing to the soil surface to reduce the soil/water interfacial tension to such an extent that the mechanical action of the washing process removes soil from the textile surface. Since the complexes formed are electrically neutral and, therefore, do not repel each other, they can pack densely when they adsorb onto the soil surface. This results in a much lower soil/water interfacial tension and thereby extremely effective soil removal.
  • both the alkyl sulfate detergent surfactant and the sulfonate detergent surfactant must be present.
  • experimental evidence indicates that it is essential that the molar ratio of cationic surfactant to sulfonate detergent surfactant be less than 1.5. Otherwise, the desired superior performance is not obtained.
  • the cationic surfactant is an essential component of the compositions within the invention. Without the cationic surfactant, the electro-neutral complex cannot be formed with the alkyl sulfate detergent surfactant and/or the sulfonate detergent surfactant and, therefore, the desired superior performance is not obtained.
  • Cationic surfactants within the invention can be saturated or unsaturated.
  • the cationic surfactants within the invention are selected from
  • Preferred cationic surfactants are:
  • nitrogenous surfactants which are described in (i) when Q is N, (ii), (iii) and (iv) are the preferred cationic surfactants.
  • (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) refer to the compounds in the Summary of the Invention.
  • alkyl quaternary ammonium surfactants which are described in (i), and, in particular, the mono- long chain alkyl and alkoxy quaternary ammonium surfactants, which are described in (i) when R 5 is selected from the same groups as R 4.
  • the most preferred cationic surfactants are the chloride, bromide and methylsulfate salts of C 8-12 alkyltrimethyl ammonium surfactants, C 8-12 alkylhydroxyethyldimethyl ammonium surfactants, C 8-12 alkylmethyldihydroxyethyl ammonium surfactants, C 10 - 14 alkoxytrimethyl ammonium surfactants, C 10 - 14 alkoxydihydroxyethylmethyl ammonium surfactants and C 10-14 alkoxyhydroxyethyldimethyl ammonium surfactants.
  • the salts of the cationic surfactants can be prepared by precomplexing the cationic surfactant directly with an anionic detergent surfactant within the invention rather than having such complex be formed in the wash liquor.
  • the preferred cationic surfactants are:
  • Such cationic surfactants are preferred under cold water washing conditions because when they are utilized in combination with the alkyl sulfate detergent surfactant and the sulfonate detergent surfactant the electro-neutral complex formed does not crystallize or become highly viscous. It has been observed that the electro-neutral complex formed under cold water washing conditions with a cationic surfactant such as C 12 alkyl trimethyl ammonium chloride results in such complex being crystalline or highly viscous and, thereby, is rendered less effective.
  • nitrogenous surfactants which are described in (i) and (ii) when Q is N, (iii), (iv) and (v) are the preferred cationic surfactants for use under cold water washing conditions.
  • alkyl quaternary ammonium surfactants which are described in (i) and (ii).
  • the most preferred cationic surfactants are the chloride, bromide and methylsulfate salts of the alkyl quaternary ammonium surfactants which are described in (i) when each R is an alkyl group containing from 4 to 10 carbon atoms wherein the sum of the carbon atoms of [R 2 (OR 3 ) m ] 2 is from 10 carbon atoms and to 14 carbon atoms and preferably from 10 to 12 carbon atoms; each m and y are 1 or 0, preferably 0; and each R 4 is selected from methyl and hydroxyethyl.
  • each R' is selected from an alkyl group containing at least one carbon atom and ring structures formed by joining each R 7 containing five or six carbon atoms wherein the sum of the carbon atoms of [(R I O) m R'1 2 is from 10 to 16 carbon atoms and preferably from 10 to 14 carbon atoms; each m and y are 1 or 0, preferably 0; and each R 4 is selected from methyl and hydroxyethyl.
  • cationic surfactants derived from aliphatic amines have a pKa at least 1/2 unit above the initial pH of the wash liquor. Otherwise, the desired superior performance is not achieved. It is believed that such a pKa and pH limitation ensures that a substantial portion of such amines are protonated and, thus, exist in cationic form and, therefore, are able to complex with the alkyl sulfate detergent surfactant and sulfonate detergent surfactant.
  • the level of cationic surfactant within the invention is related to the level of sulfonate detergent surfactant.
  • the molar ratio of cationic surfactant:sulfonate detergent surfactant is at most 1.5 and preferably less than 1. It is desirable to have some molar excess sulfonate detergent surfactant present because it is effective at stripping fabric softeners that have been deposited on the textile surface in previous wash cycles.
  • the weight of the equimolar complex capable of being formed between the cationic surfactant and sulfonate detergent surfactant is preferably at least 2%, more preferably above 5% and most preferably above 10% of the total level of anionic detergent surfactant present. Such excess of anionic detergent surfactant is preferred to ensure proteinaceous and particulate soil removal and the suspension in the wash liquor of the soil removed from the textiles.
  • the level of cationic surfactant within the invention is from 1/4% to 12%, preferably from 1/2% to 8% and most preferably from 1/2% to 6%.
  • the alkyl sulfate detergent surfactant is an essential component of the detergent compositions within the invention. Detergent compositions without the alkyl sulfate detergent surfactant do not provide the desired superior performance. Such compositions provide poor particulate soil removal and increased soil redeposition. It is believed that the alkyl sulfate detergent surfactant, in addition to forming the electro-neutral complex with the cationic surfactant, is particularly efficacious for such purposes. Furthermore, only specific alkyl sulfate detergent surfactants provide the desired superior performance. Performance is quite poor with an alkyl sulfate detergent surfactant in which the alkyl chain contains more than 15 carbon atoms in a linear portion of the chain extending from the head group and/or more than four ethoxy groups.
  • the alkyl sulfate detergent surfactants of the present invention are of the general formula: wherein R is an alkyl chain having from 8 to 18 carbon atoms, saturated or unsaturated, wherein the longest linear portion of the alkyl chain extending from the head group is 15 carbon atoms or less on the average, M is a cation which makes the compound water-soluble, especially an alkali metal, ammonium or substituted ammonium cation and x is from 0 to about 4.
  • the preferred substituted ammonium cations are the mono- and diethanol ammonium cations.
  • the alkyl sulfate detergent surfactants are not ethoxylated.
  • the preferred alkyl sulfate detergent surfactants are the sodium and potassium salts of C 12 - 15 primary and C 12 - 18 secondary alkyl sulfates.
  • the most preferred alkyl sulfate detergent surfactants are the sodium and potassium salts of C 12-15 linear and methyl branched alkyl sulfates.
  • the preferred alkyl sulfate detergent surfactants are the secondary and shorter alkyl chain alkyl sulfate detergent surfactants within the invention.
  • the level of alkyl sulfate detergent surfactant within the present invention is from 2% to 50%, preferably from 3% to 30% and most preferably from 5% to 20%.
  • a sulfonate detergent surfactant is an essential component of the compositions within the invention. Compositions without the sulfonate detergent surfactants within the invention do not give the desired superior performance.
  • sulfonate detergent surfactants can be used in the compositions of the ihvention. However, it is believed that the alkyl chain portion of such surfactants should be saturated. For example, a-olefin sulfonates, which have an unsaturated carbon bond, do not provide the desired superior performance.
  • Suitable sulfonate detergent surfactants are C 9 _, 5 alkyl benzene sulfonates, C S - 24 paraffin sulfonates, C 8-18 alkyl glyceryl ether sulfonates, esters of a-sulfonated fatty acids containing from 6 to 20 carbon atoms in the fatty acid group and from 1 to 10 carbon atoms in the ester group and C 1 - s alkyl or aryl sulfonates containing an ether, ester or amide linkage to a C 7 - 15 alkyl chain.
  • the preferred sulfonate detergent surfactants are the secondary alkyl benzene sulfonates having from 9 to 15, preferably from 11 to 13 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain.
  • Suitable paraffin sulfonates contain from 8 to 24 carbon atoms and preferably from 12 to 18 carbon atoms.
  • the alkyl glyceryl ether sulfonates are those ethers of C 8-18 alcohols, e.g., those derived from tallow and coconut oil.
  • Suitable esters of a-sulfonated fatty acids contain from 6 to 20 carbon atoms in the fatty acid group and from 1 to 10 carbon atoms in the ester group.
  • Suitable alkyl sulfonates with an ether, ester or amide linkage have the general formula: wherein R' is an alkyl chain having 7 to 15 carbon atoms, R 8 is an alkyl chain having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms or a benzyl group and A is selected from
  • the shorter alkyl chain sulfonate detergent surfactants are preferred.
  • the level of sulfonate detergent surfactant within the invention is such that the molar ratio of cationic surfactant:sulfonate detergent surfactant is less than 1.5 and preferably less than 1.
  • the weight of the equimolar complex capable of being formed between the cationic surfactant and sulfonate detergent surfactant is preferably at least above 2%, more preferably above 5% and most preferably above 10% of the total anionic surfactant present.
  • the level of sulfonate detergent surfactant of the detergent compositions within the present invention is from .5% to 50%, preferably from 2% to 30% and most preferably from 3% to 20%.
  • the detergent compositions within the invention contain a detergency builder.
  • the level of detergency builder of the detergent compositions is from 0% to 70%, preferably from 10% to 60% and most preferably from 20% to 50% of a detergency builder.
  • the preferred detergency builders are the water-soluble sequestrants such as tripolyphosphates, hexametaphosphates and higher polymerization species, citrates, nitrilotriacetates and water-soluble polyacetals as disclosed in U.S. Patents 4,144,266 and 4,246,495, and mixtures thereof.

  • Particularly useful suds suppressors are the self-emulsifying silicone suds suppressors, described in U.S. Patent 4,073,118, Gault et al, issued February 21, 1978.
  • DB-544 commercially available from Dow Corning, which is a siloxane/glycol copolymer.

  • alkyl phosphate esters frequently contain some trialkyl phosphate. Accordingly, a preferred phosphate ester can contain, in addition to the monoalkyl ester, e.g., monostearyl phosphate, up to 50 mole percent of dialkyl phosphate and up to 5 mole percent of trialkyl phosphate.
  • a laundry load consisting of one set of the swatches along with six clean terry cloth towels and one terry cloth towel soiled with a mixture of particulate soil and oily soil was placed in a mini-wash system.
  • the load was then washed with a quantity of Composition A that corresponds to detergent concentrations utilized in conventional automatic wash processes.
  • the mini-wash system with such a load simulates a conventional automatic washing process.
  • the wash water had a temperature of 35°C and contained 59 ppm water hardness.
  • This wash process was repeated two more times, once with the second set of swatches and Composition B and once with the third set of swatches and Composition C.
  • Each of the four swatch types was then comparison graded against its identical counterpart that had been washed with a different detergent composition to determine relative soil removal.
  • a grading scale of -4 to 4 was used, with -4 indicating much less soil removal, 0 indicating no difference and 4 indicating much more soil removal.
  • Compositions A and C provided significantly more soil removal than Composition B, which did not contain the essential cationic surfactant.
  • compositions A, B and C provided significantly more soil removal than Composition D which did not contain a sulfonate detergent surfactant within the invention.
  • Composition F provided significantly more soil removal than Composition E. Thus, it appears that sodium C 16 alkyl-4-sulfate cannot "substitute" for a sulfonate detergent surfactant within the invention.
  • AHWUF Hunter Whiteness Units Filtered
  • composition B had somewhat more soil redeposition than Composition A. This is due to the decreased level of alkyl sulfate detergent surfactant of Composition B.
  • Composition A provided significantly more soil removal than Compositions B and C. It is believed that this is because Compositions B and C did not contain an alkyl sulfate detergent surfactant. Therefore, the alkyl sulfate detergent surfactant is also essential for soil removal.
  • Soil removal capability of Composition A was compared to that of Composition B by determining the Cleaning Index by the same procedure as described in Example I. Such comparison was also made between Compositions C and D. The results were as follows:
  • Composition A provided significantly more soil removal than Composition B and Composition C provided significantly more soil removal than Composition D. This result is due to that the length of the longest portion of the alkyl sulfate detergent surfactant of Compositions B and D is too long.
  • Composition C provided significantly more soil removal than Compositions A and B. It is believed that this is because Compositions A and B did not contain a sufficient level of C 13 LAS in order to form a sufficient level of cationic surfactant-alkyl sulfonate detergent surfactant complex.
  • Composition A which contains an optional nonionic surfactant, provided only marginally significantly more soil removal than Composition B.
  • Composition B which contains an amine surfactant, did not remove significantly less soil than Composition A, which contains an alkylammonium surfactant.
  • composition within the invention that contains a water soluble salt of a fatty acid:
  • This composition provides the desired superior performance on conventional soils in addition to being extremely effective on enzyme-sensitive stains.
  • composition within the invention that contains a water soluble salt of a fatty acid:
