Definitions
- the present invention relates to liquid detergent compositions and in particular to aqueous liquid detergent compositions having improved non-corrosive properties.
- an anti-corrosion agent in detergent compositions in order to inhibit the corrosive and discolouring influence of the washing liquid on metal or enamel parts of washing machines and to prevent thereby the malfunctioning of the machines or the discolouring of fabrics which come into contact with such corroded parts.
- Aqueous liquid detergent compositions containing corrosion inhibiting agents are known in the art.
- soluble silicates such as metasilicate, orthosilicate and sesquisilicate.
- Such compounds provide the liquid detergent composition with a highly alkaline environment, which is not always a desirable circumstance, especially if in such compositions alkali-sensitive ingredients are used.
- Further anti-corrosive agents described in the detergent art include sulphites, nitrites, carbonates, borax or organic compounds such as benzoates.
- the present invention provides aqueous liquid detergent compositions with improved non-corrosive properties, comprising conventional detergent ingredients and an effective amount of silica of the type to be defined hereafter.
- the silica in order to achieve optimal anti-corrosion protection the silica must be present in the wash liquor in a dissolved form at a concentration of at least 120 ppm by weight and preferably 150 ppm by weight. According to the present invention therefore, in order to provide the required amount of dissolved silica in the wash liquor to ensure adequate anti-corrosion protection, the silica will in general be incorporated in the liquid detergent composition in an amount which is the equivalent of from about 1% to 10% by weight, preferably from 1.5% to 5% by weight and most preferably from 2% to 4% by weight of the liquid detergent composition which is intended for use at an in-wash product dosage of 10 g/l.
- liquid detergent composition is formulated having a preferred in-wash product dosage which is different from 10 g/litre, the amount of silica that should be incorporated to achieve adequate anti-corrosion protection must be adjusted accordingly, such that the amount thereof corresponds with the ranges as defined for 10 g/1 product dosage.
- the silica to be used in the present invention should have a surface area which is greater than 200 m 2 per gram and preferably greater than 350 m 2 per gram or even 500 m 2 per gram.
- the upper limit of the surface area is not a critical factor, but normally surface areas range to about 1200 m 2 per gram.
- such silicas have elementary particle sizes of less than about 30 nm, in particular less than about 25 nm. Preferably, elementary particle sizes are less than 20 nm or even 10 nm. There is no critical lower limit of the elementary particle size; the lower limit is governed by other factors such as the manner of manufacture etc. In general, commercially available silicas have elementary particle sizes of 1 nm or more.
- Suitable forms of silica include amorphous silica, such as precipitated silica, pyrogenic silica and silica gels, such as hydrogels, xerogels and aerogels, or the pure crystal forms quartz, tridymite or crystobal- ite, but the amorphous forms of silica are preferred.
- amorphous silica such as precipitated silica, pyrogenic silica and silica gels, such as hydrogels, xerogels and aerogels, or the pure crystal forms quartz, tridymite or crystobal- ite, but the amorphous forms of silica are preferred.
- Suitable silicas may readily be obtained commercially. They are sold, for instance, under the Registered Trade Names of Aerosil 380 (ex Degussa Corp., N.J., USA), Cab-O-Sil M5 (ex Cabot Corp., Ill, USA), Tixosil 38A (ex SI Chimie, France) and Gasil 200 (ex Crosfield, UK).
- the liquid detergent compositions of the invention further comprise as essential ingredient an active detergent material, which may be an alkali metal or alkanolamine soap of C 10 -C 24 fatty acid, including polymerized fatty acids, or an anionic, nonionic, cationic, zwitterionic or amphoteric synthetic detergent material, or a mixture of any of these.
- active detergent material which may be an alkali metal or alkanolamine soap of C 10 -C 24 fatty acid, including polymerized fatty acids, or an anionic, nonionic, cationic, zwitterionic or amphoteric synthetic detergent material, or a mixture of any of these.
- the anionic synthetic detergents are synthetic detergents of the sulphate- and sulphonate-types.
- Examples thereof are salts (including sodium, potassium, ammonium and substituted ammonium salts, such as mono-, di- and triethanolamine salts) of C 9 -C 20 alkyl benzene sulphonates, C a -C 22 primary or secondary alkane sulphonates, C a -C 24 olefin sulphonates, sulphonated polycarboxylic acids, prepared by sulphonation of the pyrolized product of alkaline earth metal citrates, e.g. as described in British Patent Specification No.
- nonionic synthetic detergents are the condensation products of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and/or butylene oxide with C 8 -C 18 alkylphenols, C 8 -C 18 primary or secondary aliphatic alcohols, C 8 -C 18 fatty acid amides; further examples of nonionics include tertiary amine oxides with one C 8 -C 18 alkyl chain and two C l -C 3 alkyl chains.
- the above reference also describes further examples of nonionics.
- the average number of moles of ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide present in the above nonionics varies from 1 to 30; mixtures of various nonionics, including mixtures of nonionics with a higher degree of alkoxylation, may also be used.
- cationic detergents are the quaternary ammonium compounds such as alkyl dimethyl ammonium halogenides.
- amphoteric or zwitterionic detergents are N-alkylamino acids, sulphobetaines and condensation products of fatty acids with protein hydrolysates, but owing to their relatively high cost they are usually used in combination with an anionic or a nonionic detergent. Mixtures of the various types of active detergents may also be used, and preference is given to mixtures of an anionic and a nonionic detergent-active compound. Soaps (in the form of their sodium, potassium, and substituted ammonium salts, such as of polymerized fatty acids, may also be used, preferably in conjunction with an anionic and/or a nonionic synthetic detergent.
- the amount of the active detergent material varies from 1 to 60%, preferably from 2 to 40% and particularly preferably from 5 to 25% by weight. When a soap is incorporated, the amount thereof is from 1 to 40% by weight.
- the liquid compositions of the invention preferably also comprise up to 60% of suitable builder materials, such as sodium, potassium and ammonium or substituted ammonium pyro- and tripolyphosphates, -ethylenediamine tetraacetates, -nitrilotriacetates, -ether polycarboxylates, -citrates, -carbonates, -orthophosphates, zeolites, carboxy- methyloxysuccinates, etc.
- suitable builder materials such as sodium, potassium and ammonium or substituted ammonium pyro- and tripolyphosphates, -ethylenediamine tetraacetates, -nitrilotriacetates, -ether polycarboxylates, -citrates, -carbonates, -orthophosphates, zeolites, carboxy- methyloxysuccinates, etc.
- Particularly preferred are the polyphosphate builder salts, nitrilotriacetate
- the amount of water present in the detergent compositions of the invention varies from 10 to 70% by weight.
- liquid detergent compositions of the invention for example sequestering agents, such as ethylenediamine- tetraphosphonic acid; non-builder electrolytes, such as alkalimetal-chlorides, -bromides, -nitrates and -sulphates; soil-suspending agents, such as sodium carboxymethylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone or the maleic anhydride/vinylmethylether copolymer; hydrotropes; dyes; perfumes; alkaline materials, such as silicates; optical brighteners; germicides; anti- tarnishing agents; suds boosters; suds depressants, such as liquid polysiloxane anti-foam compounds; enzymes, particularly proteolytic enzymes, such as the commercially available subtilisins Maxatase® (ex Gist-Brocades N.V., Delft, The Netherlands), Alcalase® and Esperase 0 (both ex Novo Industri A/S, Copenhagen
- sequestering agents such
- compositions of the present invention were tested comparatively under various temperature conditions and degrees of water hardness.
- Example I By means of the corrosion test described above the composition of Example I was compared with a control composition (i.e. the example composition without the silica) at various degrees of water hardness at a temperature of 85°C.
- the hardness of the water is expressed in degrees of French hardness (one degree French hardness is equivalent to l0 mg CaCO 3 per litre).
- Example I By means of the corrosion test described above the composition of Example I was compared with the control composition at various temperatures using demineralized water for the wash liquor.
- Example II To illustrate the corrosive action as a function of product dosage (and accordingly as a function of silica concentration) the composition of Example II was submitted to the corrosion test and compared with a control composition at different product dosages at a temperature of 85°C, using demineralized water for the wash liquor.
- Example II The above composition was submitted to an experiment equivalent to the one carried out in Example II. As the above product should be used at a much lower dosage, the investigated range of product dosages is different.
- Example 2 To illustrate the anti-corrosive action of various types of silica the corrosion test was performed on a set of composition prepared according to the formulation of Example 2 but differing therefrom in the type of silica employed. The amounts of silica incorporated equaled 10% by weight of the composition.
- composition according to example II was tested on its effectiveness in protecting enamel from corrosion attack.
- silica as specified in example II was included in an amount of 2.5% by weight.
