Definitions

  • the present invention relates to granular detergent activator compositions with improved low temperature activity, granular detergent compositions containing them and a process suitable for producing them.
  • bleaching compounds such as perborates and other peroxy bleaches and to activate the bleaches in situ using activators for these bleach compounds.
  • the activators must be prevented from coming into contact with the bleach so as to reduce or eliminate reaction of the activator with the bleach compound prior to dissolution of the entire detergent composition in water. This may be done by providing the bleach and bleach activator in separate compositions or by forming the activator into dry granules with binder, the granules being one component in the dry particulate detergent composition.
  • EP-A-0170791 One example of the former method is described in EP-A-0170791 in which the bleach activator is compressed into a tablet with other ingredients, including an alkane polyphosphonic acid, a binder and, optionally, a conventional tablet disintegration aid, i.e. a water-insoluble, water-swellable compound. Even with such disintegration aids the tablets disintegrate too slowly and are not satisfactorily dispersed throughout the water to which they are added. It is inconvenient from the point of view of manufacture since the tableting process is multi-stage and from the point of view of packaging the detergent compositions and for the consumer to have separate compositions.
  • a conventional tablet disintegration aid i.e. a water-insoluble, water-swellable compound.
  • the activator in the form of granules. Upon dissolution in water the granules are intended to release the activator so as to activate the bleach compound. It is generally intended that this should occur at relatively low wash temperatures (typically 50°C) and so the amount of activator, and its method of granulation, must be such that the desired activity is achieved at the chosen temperature.
  • the detergent powdered composition will contain a large number of components in addition to the surfactant and bleach components.
  • typical compositions may contain cellulose derivatives, sequestering agents such as ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid or salts thereof or phosphonic acid sequestering agents, sodium sulphate, sodium silicate, and phosphates or polyphosphates.
  • particulate activator is granulated using triphosphate.
  • triphosphate For instance a saturated aqueous solution of potassium triphosphate may be sprayed on to a blend of particulate activator and particulate sodium triphosphate.
  • a saturated aqueous solution of potassium triphosphate may be sprayed on to a blend of particulate activator and particulate sodium triphosphate.
  • the detergent composition contains large amounts of phosphate and this may be undesirable for environmental reasons.
  • the activator is granulated using a melt of detergent components, for instance as described in GB-A-1,557,768, GB-A-1561333, EP-A-0062523 or EP-A-0106634.
  • the resultant granules can then only be used in detergent compositions with which the granulating detergent is compatible, and this therefore restricts the potential use of the granulated activator composition.
  • the particulate activator is granulated by compaction of a wet mix of the binder and the activator, e.g. by extrusion through a die or between rollers followed by chopping to the desired size as in EP-A-0075818.
  • Another problem with such processes is that it is a multi-stage process and the extrusion and chopping steps can be time consuming and energy-expensive and the ratios of the amounts of the components cannot be varied at will.
  • the amount of binder has to be below 10% by weight.
  • Such low amounts of binders may be disadvantageous for several reasons, firstly because the granules may have insufficient mechanical strength so that they may be degraded during subsequent processing fumes which are a health hazard and which settle out in the particulate detergent and secondly because it may often be desirable to incorporate a higher amount of the binder material as a component having functions other than as a binderin the detergent compositions.
  • bleach activator granules are produced by mixing dry particles of the activator with inorganic salts containing water of hydration and then moistening the blend with water or a solution of granulating aid, which is selected from inorganic salts, organic binders and detergent compounds.
  • the granulating aid is present in the final granules in an amount in the range 1-20% by weight but usually less than 10%.
  • the problem with using an aqueous solution or dispersion of organic binder is that such aqueous mixtures are viscous and difficult to handle expecially at high concentrations. This limits the amount of the granulating aid that can practically be incorporated into the granules since the addition of large amounts of water renders the blend into a pasty mixture which cannot be handled, or the liquid must be added over an extended period, which is undesirable, and the process becomes uneconomic becuase of the large energy requirements for drying the granules.
  • the low amounts of organic binder that can be used may be insufficient for satisfactory strength properties.
  • EP-A-0037026 and DE-A-2048331 has the advantages that it does not cause environmental pollution and the granulate can be used in a wide variety of detergent compositions.
  • it has the disadvantage that the amount of binder has to be low and this can result in the granules breaking during manufacture, causing processing difficulties.
  • the product has, despite this, been widely accepted as being very successful.
  • a granulated detergent bleach activator composition comprises granules comprising the activator in particulate form bonded by an organic binder and is characterised in that the granules contain a water soluble granule disintegration aid and in that the 2 minute activity of the composition when dissolved in water at 20°C containing perborate and a detergent base is more than 1.3 times and up to about 5 times the activity of the standard composition.
  • the "standard composition” is one particular example of a typical composition made by the process described in EP-A-0037026. It is formed by mixing dry particles of tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED) bleach activator(100 parts) with dry particles of sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) binder (5.53 parts) in a suitable mixer (e.g. a Shugi Flexomix (trade mark)) or a Lodige ploughshare mixer for 3 minutes and then adding about 23 parts water. Mixing is continued for a further 2 minutes after which the product is discharged and dried for 15 minutes at 60°C using a fluid bed drier.
  • TAED tetraacetylethylenediamine
  • CMC carboxymethylcellulose
  • Preferred compositions are those in which the presence of the disintegration aid causes substantial increase in the activity of the composition when dissolved in water at 20°C containing perborate and a detergent base in a simulation of a cold-fill system (PA 20).
  • the objective of the invention here is to reduce the quantity of undissolved activator collecting in the sump of the machine by effecting rapid release of the available peracid.
  • the preferred compositions show an increase in activity of more than 1.3 times compared to the compositions free of the granulation aid after 2 minutes of the test and an increase of more than 1.3 after 5 minutes of the test.
  • the 2 and 5 minutes activities at 20°C are measured by the following test.
  • the granulated composition (3g) is added to 1 litre of distilled water containing 100 ppm of calcium ions and 40g of a spray dried detergent base (ECE detergent base obtained from the Society of Dyers and Colourists, Bradford, W. Yorks), thermostatically controlled at 20°C.
  • EAE detergent base obtained from the Society of Dyers and Colourists, Bradford, W. Yorks
  • Sodium perborate tetrahydrate (12g) is added and the timer set to zero. Aliquots of 50 ml are taken at 2, 5 min and titrated as described above. The results are expressed as moles of peracid liberated per g of activator as a percentage of the theoretical quantity available.
  • compositions are those in which the presence of the disintegration aid causes substantial increase in the activity of the composition when dissolved in water at 40°C containing perborate (PA40).
  • Particularly preferred are those compositions having a 30 minute activity which is more than double, preferably more than four times and most preferably more than ten times, for instance twenty five to fifty times, the activity of the corresponding compositions free of granulation aid.
  • Other preferred compositions are those which have a 5 minute activity more than 1.2 times and preferably more than 1.5 times, for instance 1.7 to 2.5 times the 5 minute activity of the corresponding granules free of disintegration aid.
  • the 5 and 30 minute activities at 40°C are a measure of activity throughout the wash cycle and are measured by the following test.
  • the granulated composition (lg) is added to 1 litre of distilled water containing 100 ppm of calcium ions and 1 drop of sodium dodecylbenzene sulphonate as a wetting agent, thermostatically controlled at 40°C.
  • Sodium perborate tetrahydrate (5g) is added and the timer set to zero. Aliquots (50ml) were removed at 5 and 30 minutes and titrated at 0°C against O.lM sodium thiosulphate in the presence of potassium iodide and glacial acetic acid.
  • the end-point of the titration is determined using Vitex (trade mark) indicator. Duplicate titrations are carried out for each time interval.
  • the quantity of per acid found by each titration is expressed as the number of moles of peracid/g activator, as 100% active material, i.e., a correction is made for the binder content.
  • the granule disintegration aid can be any water soluble material that will promote rupture of the granules and exposure of the activator particles to the water. It is advantageous if the granule disintegration aid has stabilising properties upon the peracid species formed on the reaction of the bleach and the activator. By using these stabilising compounds it is possible to maintain the peracid activity over an extended period in the wash as compared to compositions free if the compounds. Thus the 30 minute activity at 40°C (as defined above) can be maintained at, or close to, the 5 minute activity at 40°C.
  • the disintegration is a sequestering agent or mixture of sequestering agents. It may be an amino carboxylic acid sequestering agent, for instance nitrilo triacetic acid or ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid or diethylene triamine penta acetic acid (or salts thereof) or a low molecular weight anionic polymer formed from ethylenically unsaturated monomers e.g. unsaturated carboxylic acid or sulphonic acid monomers, such as acrylic acid, but preferably the granulating aid is a phosphonic acid sequestrant or stabiliser.
  • an amino carboxylic acid sequestering agent for instance nitrilo triacetic acid or ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid or diethylene triamine penta acetic acid (or salts thereof) or a low molecular weight anionic polymer formed from ethylenically unsaturated monomers e.g. unsaturated carboxylic acid or sulphonic acid
  • the disintegration aid may comprise, in addition to such sequestering agents, water-soluble inorganic salts, such as alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salts, preferably sodium, potassium calcium or magnesium salts or mixtures.
  • the salts may be the water-soluble sulphates, carbonates or halides, usually chlorides, mixtures can be used. Particularly suitable examples are sodium sulphate and magnesium sulphate.
  • any of the phosphonic acid compounds conventionally present in detergents as stabilisers or sequestrants may be used including ethylene diamine tetra (methylene phosphonic acid) (EDTMP) for instance as the free acid or as the hexa sodium salt, diethylene triamine penta (methylene phosphonic acid) (DTPMP), hexamethylene diamine tetraphosphonic acid (HMDTP), nitrilotrismethyl- enephosphonic acid (NTMP) or its sodium salt or hydroxyethyl-1,1-diphosphonic acid (HEDP).
  • ETMP ethylene diamine tetra (methylene phosphonic acid)
  • DTPMP diethylene triamine penta
  • HMDTP hexamethylene diamine tetraphosphonic acid
  • NTMP nitrilotrismethyl- enephosphonic acid
  • HEDP hydroxyethyl-1,1-diphosphonic acid
  • the phosphonic acids may be present as in the granul
  • the phosphonic acids have the further property that they enhance the stability of the peracid species formed during the reaction of the bleach and the bleach activator.
  • the binder must be an organic polymeric binder that can be a natural or synthetic polymer and can be water swellable or water soluble.
  • Synthetic binders include polyacrylates, polymaleates and polyvinyl pyrollidones, which may be cross linked, e.g., the cross linked polyvinyl pyrollidone sold under the trade mark Gafdis.
  • the binder is a natural binder (including derivatives thereof), most preferably a starch binder, generally a starch ether, or a cellulose binder, generally a cellulose ether or ester.
  • Particularly preferred binders are carboxymethyl cellulose CMC.
  • the weight ratio of activator:binder may be from 98:2 to 30:70, generally 98:2 to 50:50. It is particular advantage of the invention that it is not necessary to keep the amount of binder below 10% and although this can be done particularly preferred compositions have ratios of 89:11 to 55:45.
  • the amount of granulating aid(s) will depend on the granulation aid(s) being used and on the binder and the amount of binder but is generally in the range 1 to 20%, preferably 2 to 15% and most preferably 3 to 10% by weight of the activator, binder and granulating aid(s).
  • the cation should contribute from 0.165% by weight of the granule, preferably 0.3 to 2.0%, most preferably 0.4 to 1.5%.
  • the granules preferably consist substantially only of the activator, binder and disintegration aid(s) other components of the final detergent may be included if desired in any suitable amounts. Preferably however such additions provide less than 10% and generally less than 5% by weight of the granules.
  • One component that can usefully be included in the granules is optical brightening agent since its incorporation in the granules avoids the problems associated with incorporating it in the remainder of the detergent composition. For instance it may be damaged by the spray drying to which the remainder of the composition is generally subjected.
  • Another component that can conveniently be co-granulated is an antisudsing (anti foaming) or foam stabilising agent.
  • Other components that may be cogranulated are other components of detergent compositions such as surfactants, anti redeposition acids, builders, pigments or dyes and enzymes.
  • the particulate activator is preferably tetra acetyl ethylene diamine but may be any of the known detergent bleach activators, such as those described in GB-A-2,048,930 or EP-A-0037026.
  • Other preferred activators include polyacetyl mono-, di-, or polysaccharides such as penta acetyl glucose, sulphonates such as isononanoyl oxybenzene sulphonate, nonyl benzoates, glycourils such as tetra acetyl glycouril, N-acyl amides, acylated diketopiperazines, and other N-acyl amines.
  • the activator should be provided in the form of small particles generally having an average particle size in the range 50 to 500 microns, preferably 100 to 300 microns. Preferably substantially none of the particles has a size above 300 microns or, at the most, 500 microns.
  • the particulate binder preferably has an average particle size below 200 incrons, generally below 100 microns and is preferably free of particles above 200 microns in size.
  • the granules preferably have an average particle size of between 300 and 1500 microns, most preferably 500 to 1000 microns. Preferably substantially none of them have a size above 2000 microns and preferably not above 1700 microns. Preferably none of the granules have a size below 50 microns and most preferably none have a size below about 125 microns. Granules that are too fine are preferably separated from the granules and recycled for further granulation, often after crushing. A particular advantage of the invention is that the large amounts of binder that can be used minimise the risk of formation of fines.
  • a process for the production of a granulated bleach activator in which particles of organic binder material and particles of bleach activator are dry blended, moistened during mixing by an aqueous solution and dried, characterised in that the solution comprises disolved water-soluble granule disintegration aid.
  • the general techniques are described in EP 37026.
  • the aqueous solution used to moisten the particulate blend is substantially free of organic binder, in order to avoid the problems with handling viscous solutions or dispersions, mentioned above.
  • substantially all the organic binder is provided as dry particles to be mixed with the particulate activator.
  • substantially all the water soluble granule disintegration aid(s) is dissolved in the aqueous solution. We have found that by this process the disintegration aid is fully distributed throughout the granules so that is has optimal effects on the disintegration of the granules upon their addition to water.
  • the resultant granules can be incorporated in conventional detergent compositions that contain suitable bleach component that is activated by the activator.
  • suitable bleaches are peroxy compounds, especially perborates such as sodium perborate tetrahydrate but others that can be used include sodium perborate monohydrate or sodium percarbonate.
  • the detergent may contain, in addition to surfactants, detergent builders and anti-redeposition aids, enzymes, anti-sudsing agents, foam stabilisers,optical brightening agents, pigments, dyes and perfumes, sequestrants, halide salts such as sodium bromide, manganese salts such as manganous sulphate and inert fillers such as sodium sulphate or silicate.
  • a particular advantage of the invention is that it is not necessary to include phosphates, although they may be included if desired.
  • the amount of activator, based on the total weight of the detergent may be conventional or may be less than usual, because of the increased activity. Typical amounts are 1 to 5% based on the total detergent, or 10 to 50% based on the bleach.
  • the standard composition is made by the following process:-Into a suitable mixing machine is weighed: The dry components are mixed for 3 minutes after which is added, whilst mixing is continued, over 2 minutes. The product is then discharged and dried for 15 minutes at 60°C using a fluid bed drier.
  • particulate bleach activator and particulate binder are mixed dry in various proportions and are then sprayed with an aqueous solution of the granule disintegration aid or aids (i.e. any inorganic salt, sequestering agent and/or urea).
  • the granule disintegration aid or aids i.e. any inorganic salt, sequestering agent and/or urea.
  • compositions made by these general techniques were sieved to separate a fraction of 1000 to 1700 ⁇ m and the granules were then tested for activity by the method described above.
  • an activator granule formed with a mixture of a binder offers a significant improvement in both the immediate availability of peracid from the coated activator and the level throughout the wash part of the cycle, as compared to the standard composition and to compositions containing urea alone as the disintegration aid or an inorganic salt alone (comparative examples A and B).
  • the combination of phosphonic acid with inorganic salt gives an even further improvement in the immediate availability of peracid at 20°C i.e. under cold-fill conditions.
  • a granulated mixture was made by using components in the same proportions as for example 10 but by mixing all the ingredients dry and then adding pure water to the blend during mixing (instead of using a solution of EDTMP and magnesium sulphate).
  • Granules of activator were formed using a range of conventional table disintegration aids, i.e. which are water-swellable, instead of the water-soluble disintegration aids used in the present invention.
  • a process similar to that used in the reference example was used but replacing part of the binder with the disintegrant.
  • the type and amount (weight percentage based on total dry ingredients) of disintegrant and PA20 values are given in the table below:
  • Table 3 shows that conventional disintegration agents of the water-swellable type produce granules which have even worse PA20 values than the standard composition.
  • ⁇ R% in the table is the percentage difference in stain removal as measured by reflectance from a washed swatch of stained cloth, with the value of AR% for the standard composition being given the value 0.
