Definitions

  • the present invention relates to means of softening fabrics, wherein water-soluble quaternary ammonium salts are used to provide fabric softness and anti-static benefits.
  • Detergent compositions in spray-dried form containing said salts and a smectite clay softener are disclosed.
  • Formulators of fabric laundering compositions have long sought means whereby the fabric washing and softening could be done concurrently.
  • Methods employing clay softeners, mixtures of clays and various amine materials and the like are described in the following patent applications: German 29 64114.3, 28 57163.3, 24 39541.3, 23 34899.4 and EP-A-0 023 367, 0 026 528 and 0 028 432.
  • the use of mixtures of amines and soaps (salts of fatty acids) as through-the-wash softeners is disclosed in U.K. Patent 1 514 276.
  • the present invention employs a water soluble quaternary ammonium salt in an otherwise conventional spray-dried detergent composition matrix, and clay, to provide cleaning and softening concurrently through-the-wash.
  • the quaternary ammonium salts used herein provide improved softening and anti-static benefits, especially when applied to polyester fabrics and/or when the compositions herein are used at relatively high laundering temperatures (60° C, and above).
  • the detergent compositions may be described succinctly as containing conventional detergent ingredients such as detersive surfactants (including anionics), detergency builders, optical brighteners, detersive enzymes, fabric bleaches, and the like, all at rather conventional levels, as well as clay fabric softeners (preferably, smectite clays), said compositions being characterized in that they contain at least 0.1 % (preferably 1.0 % to 15 %) of a water-soluble di-C6 ⁇ 10 alkyl quaternary ammonium salt.
  • the compositions are formulated to contain not more than 3 % (preferably not more than 1 % - 2 %) of a nonionic detersive surfactant.
  • compositions are disclosed more fully hereinafter. All weights and proportions are by weight, unless otherwise specified.
  • the detergent compositions of this invention comprise, in major part, conventional ingredients that are quite familiar to formulators of granular detergent compositions.
  • One of the major advantages of the water-soluble quaternary ammonium salts used herein is that they are entirely compatible with such conventional detergent ingredients, used at conventional concentrations (with the exception of the nonionic detersive surfactants).
  • the water-soluble quaternaries employed herein are the di-C6 ⁇ 10 materials, such as the dimethyl di-C6-C10 ammonium bromides, chlorides and methylsulfates.
  • di-C6 ⁇ 10 materials such as the dimethyl di-C6-C10 ammonium bromides, chlorides and methylsulfates.
  • the compounds preferred for use herein are the di-octyl dimethyl-, didecyl dimethyl-, octyl decyl dimethyl- and dihexyldimethyl ammonium salts, e.g., chlorides and bromides, or mixtures thereof.
  • Ethyl, propyl or butyl may be substituted for methyl, so long as the compounds are water-soluble. Methyl is preferred.
  • the quaternaries are used in combination with a smectite clay softener, most preferably, at a weight ratio of quaternary: clay in the range of 1:100 to 100:1, preferably 0.5:1 to 1:1.
  • Softener Clay The above-disclosed quaternaries are most preferably used in granular detergent compositions, where they are used in combination with a detergent-compatible clay fabric softener.
  • Such clay softeners are well-known in the detergency patent literature and are in broad commercial use, both in Europe and in the United States. Included among such clay softeners are various heat-treated kaolins and various multi-layer smectites.
  • Preferred clay softeners are smectite softener clays that are described in German patent document 2 334 899 and in U.K. Patent 1 400 898 which can be referred to for details.
  • Softener clays are used in the preferred compositions at levels of at least 1 %, generally 1-20%, preferably 2-7 %.
  • the detergent compositions of this invention will contain organic surface-active agents ("surfactants") to provide the usual cleaning benefits associated with the use of such materials.
  • Detersive surfactants useful herein include well-known synthetic anionic, amphoteric and zwitterionic surfactants. Typical of these are the alkyl benzene sulfonates, alkyl-and alkylether sulfates, paraffin sulfonates, olefin sulfonates, amine oxides, ⁇ -sulfonates of fatty acids and of fatty acid esters, and the like, which are well-known from the detergency art. In general, such detersive surfactants contain an alkyl group in the C9-C18 range; the anionic detersive surfactants can be used in the form of their sodium, potassium or triethanolammonium salts. U.S.
  • Patents 4 111 855 and 3 995 669 contain detailed listings of such typical detersive surfactants.
  • C11-C16 alkyl benzene sulfonates, C12-C18 paraffin-sulfonates and alkyl sulfates are especially preferred in the compositions of the present type.
  • surfactant are the water-soluble soaps, e.g. the common sodium and potassium coconut or tallow soaps well-known in the art.
  • alkoxylated nonionic surfactants e.g. the C9-C18 alkyl alcohols and alkyl phenols with 5 to 20 ethoxyl groups
  • alkoxylates interfere with the softening properties of the compositions.
  • a limited amount may be used to disperse optical brightener in the compositions, and to reduce dustiness, according to the desires of the formulator.
  • the surfactant component (other than alkoxylated nonionic) can comprise as little as 1 % of the compositions herein, but preferably the compositions will contain 5 % to 40 %, preferably 6 % to 30 %, of surfactant. Mixtures of the anionics, such as the alkyl benzene sulfonates, alkyl sulfates and paraffin sulfonates are preferred for through-the-wash cleansing of a broad spectrum of soils and stains from fabric.
  • compositions herein can contain other ingredients which aid in their cleaning performance.
  • through-the-wash detergent compositions contain a detergent builder and/or metal ion sequestrant.
  • detergent builders include the nitrilotriacetates, polycarboxylates, citrates, water-soluble phosphates such as tri-polyphosphate and sodium ortho- and pyro-phosphates, silicates, and mixtures thereof.
  • Metal ion sequestrants include all of the above, plus materials like ethylenediaminetetraacetate, the amino-polyphosphonates and phosphates (DEQUEST) and a wide variety or other poly-functional organic acids and salts too numerous to mention in detail here. See U.S. Patent 3 579 454 for typical examples of the use of such materials in various cleaning compositions. In general, the builder/sequestrant will comprise about 0.5% to 45% of the composition.
  • the 1-10 micron size zeolite (e.g. zeolite A) builders disclose in German patent 2 422 655 are especially preferred for use in low-phosphate compositions which contain the softeners described herein.
  • the laundry compositions herein also preferably contain enzymes to enhance their through-the-wash cleaning performance on a variety of soils and stains.
  • Amylase and protease enzymes suitable for use in detergents are well-known in the art and in commercially available liquid and granular detergents.
  • Commercial detersive enzymes preferably a mixture of amylase and protease are typically used at levels of 0.001 % to 2 %, and higher, in the present compositions.
  • compositions herein can contain, in addition to ingredients already mentioned, various other optional ingredients typically used in commercial products to provide aesthetic or additional product performance benefits.
  • Typical ingredients include pH regulants, perfumes, dyes, bleaches, optical brighteners, soil suspending agents, hydrotropes and gel-control agents, freeze-thaw stabilizers, bactericides preservatives, suds control agents, bleach activators and the like.
  • compositions are typically used at a concentration of at least 500 ppm, preferably 0.10 % to 1.5 %, in an aqueous laundry bath at pH 7-11 to launder fabrics.
  • the laundering can be carried out over the range from 5° C to the boil, with excellent results.
  • aqueous crutcher mix comprising the following ingredients is prepared and spray-dried in standard fashion (percentages listed relate to percent ingredients in the complete formulation after spray-drying).
  • Example I The composition of Example I is free-flowing and provides excellent cleaning and through-the-wash fabric softening.
  • Example I may be modified by adding 1.0 % tetraacetyl ethylenediamine (TAED) as a perborate bleach activator.
  • TAED tetraacetyl ethylenediamine
  • a nil-P spray-dried detergent formulation is as follows : Ingredient Percent Zeolite A (1-10 micrometer) 26.0 Sodium nitrilotriacetate 5.0 Smectite clay* 3.0 Didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride 2.5 C11 ⁇ 12 alkyl benzene sulfonate (Na) 6.5 Tallow ethoxylate (EO 9-11) 0.5 Sodium perborate.4H2O 20.0 Sodium silicate 8.0 CMC 1.0 Sodium sulfate 20.0 Enzymes (1:1 amylase/protease) 1.5 Optical brightener 0.5 TAED 1.2 Water, minors to 100 * As Gelwhite GP (TM); CaC03 ion exchange capacity > 70 Meq/100 g.
