Definitions

  • the present invention relates to bleach compositions.
  • it relates to thickened bleach compositions and the method of thickening them.
  • Bleach compositions are typically aqueous solutions of alkali metal and alkaline earth metal hypochlorites. They are useful as cleaning agents, disinfectants, bactericides and fungicides. For example, bleach compositions are useful for cleaning textiles, dishes and glassware; and sinks, bathtubs and numerous other porcelain items.
  • Bleach compositions contain mostly water and therefore have viscosities similar to water. Unfortunately, it is often necessary to apply bleach compositions to vertical or inclined surfaces. Because the composition has low viscosity, it will not adhere to a vertical or inclined surface. A thickened bleach composition which could be easily applied, for example by spraying, and could adhere to a vertical or inclined surface without dripping would be desirable. Thickened bleach compositions are disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,388,204; 4,390,448; EPO Publication No. 110,544 and British Patent No. 1,466,560. The bleach compositions of the references use various detergents or surface-active agents to thicken the composition.
  • Bleach compositions are often applied to numerous items using dispensers like the manually operated atomizing dispensers disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,463,905.
  • dispensers like the manually operated atomizing dispensers disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,463,905.
  • typical bleach compositions when employed as a spray using such a dispenser, they can form an undesirable mist.
  • This mist can cause problems if the vapors are inhaled, since the vapors can be disagreeably strong, as well as injurious to health.
  • the mist can drift undesirably onto unprotected surfaces. For example, it can come into contact with clothing and other fabrics, skin and eyes. Therefore, it would be desirable to provide a thickened bleach composition that can be employed as a substantially nonmisting spray while still maintaining its stability.
  • the present invention is a method for thickening an aqueous bleach composition containing a bleaching agent comprising forming a viscoelastic surfactant therein by contacting the composition with an effective amount of a surfactant ion having a hydrophobic moiety chemically bonded to an ionic, hydrophilic moiety and of an electrolyte having a moiety that associates with the surfactant ion to form a viscoelastic surfactant and, optionally, further thickening the bleach composition and/or increasing its viscosity stability at higher temperatures by adding a further amount of an electrolyte having a moiety that associates with the surfactant ion.
  • the present invention is a thickened aqueous bleach composition made according to the method described above comprising a bleaching agent, surfactant ions and counterions, and water; the components of the composition being combined to form an aqueous solution under suitable solution conditions whereby the surfactant ions and counterions associate in the bleach composition thereby forming a viscoelastic surfactant.
  • excess counterions to the bleach composition in accordance with the practice of this invention can further increase its viscosity, increase its viscosity stability at higher temperatures, or both.
  • the thickened bleach compositions of this invention are useful because they exhibit good phase stability, bleach stability, and viscosity stability, and they will adhere to a vertical or inclined surface without dripping. They are also useful because they can be employed as a substantially non-misting spray.
  • This invention allows the skilled artisan to produce a thickened bleach composition. It also allows the skilled artisan to apply the composition in the form of a spray to a surface by expelling the composition from a dispensing device.
  • the thickened or gelled bleach composition can be expelled from the dispenser easily despite its thickened character because the composition is thickened with a viscoelastic surfactant that can provide a shear thinning behavior. Because the viscoelastic surfactant is also shear stable, it also allows the bleach composition to thicken after it is expelled from the dispenser, as for example, when the composition is applied to a surface. Therefore, the bleach composition can be applied to a vertical surface without substantial running or dripping.
  • the bleach composition can be applied in the form of a stream or spray to a surface without the formation of an undesirable mist as the composition is expelled from a dispenser.
  • bleach composition refers to an aqueous liquid that contains a bleach active agent.
  • a bleach active agent include hydrogen peroxide, potassium perchlorate, sodium hypochlorite, sodium peroxide, sodium chlorite, calcium hypochlorite (i.e., chlorinated lime), sodium hypobromite, and iodine nonionic surfactant complexes.
  • bleach compositions range from 0.5 to 50, preferably from 1 to 10 weight percent bleaching agent and from 50 to 99.5, preferably from 90 to 99, weight percent aqueous liquid. The concentration of bleaching agent required will depend on the bleaching agent employed.
  • aqueous liquid refers to liquids which contain water. Included herein are substantially pure water, water containing inorganic salts, and aqueous alkaline and acidic solutions. Aqueous liquids include mixtures of water and water-miscible liquids, provided that the concentration of water-miscible liquids does not adversely affect the stability of the bleach composition or the viscoelastic properties of the aqueous liquid. Also included herein are emulsions of immiscible liquids in water, and sprayable aqueous slurries of small sized solid particulates. Therefore, the aqueous liquids of this invention can contain fine particulate bentonites, silica, and/or calcium carbonate.
  • Water, water containing inorganic salts and aqueous alkaline, and acidic solutions are preferred. Most preferred is an aqueous alkaline solution wherein the total electrolyte concentration is less than 25, preferably less than 10, weight percent of the aqueous liquid.
  • the aqueous liquid of this invention need not contain gritty materials, which are undesirable in some applications, to thicken the bleach composition.
  • gritty materials can be difficult to adequately remove from certain surfaces.
  • mist as it applies to aqueous liquids, means fine liquid droplets suspended in or falling through a moving or stationary gas atmosphere. Specifically, a mist provides an undesirable drift of aqueous droplets through a gas atmosphere.
  • the properties of a mist, and tests to determine such properties are well known in the art and reference is made to Perry and Chilton, Chemical Engineer's Handbook , 5th Ed., Vol. 18, McGraw-Hill (1973).
  • a mist is generally defined as a gas-suspended liquid particle which has a diameter of less than 10 ⁇ m, while a spray is a gas-suspended liquid particle which has a diameter of greater than 10 ⁇ m.
  • spray and mist particles may vary depending upon the industrial use such as where a controlled droplet size is desired.
  • antiimisting and “non-misting” as applied to an aqueous liquid refers to the property which comprises the tendency of said liquid to not form a mist, i.e., undersized droplets that are easily gas-suspended.
  • the terms “dispenser” and “dispensing device” refer to devices which can provide a stream or spray of the bleach composition as defined herein.
  • the dispenser is a hand-held device.
  • the dispensing device can include a container for the bleach composition, a pump, and a spray-forming or stream-forming nozzle. The pump ejects the bleach composition from the container, through the nozzle, and into the atmosphere. Examples of suitable dispensing devices are disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,463,905; 3,572;590; 3,985,271; 2,826,399; 4,013,228 and 4,153,208.
  • the preferred dispensing devices have parts that are resistant to chemical attack by bleach. They also can include a suitable aerosol device that has a propellant, an atomizer, or both. Preferably, the aerosol device is one which forms a spray when employed.
  • viscous fluid Traditionally, engineers and scientists have been concerned with two separate and distinct classes of materials - the viscous fluid and the elastic solid.
  • most traditional materials e.g., water, motor oil, and steel
  • polymer melts and solutions were characterized as "viscoelastic”.
  • viscoelastic refers to polymers that exhibit a combination of viscous (liquid-like) and elastic (solid-like) properties.
  • surfactants consist of molecules containing both polar and non-polar groups. They have a strong tendency to adsorb at surfaces or interfaces and thereby lower the surface or interfacial tension. Solutions of surfactants also form micelles, which are organized aggregates of the surfactants. A selected group of surfactant solutions also impart viscoelasticity to the solution as well. (See. S. Graysholt, J. Coll. and Interface Sci. , 57 , (3) pp. 575-6 (1976), for a study of various surfactant compositions that impart viscoelasticity to aqueous solutions). However, typical surfactant compositions will not inherently possess viscoelastic properties. As reported in H.
  • viscoelastic surfactants can be added to a water-based heat transfer fluid to improve its performance (U.S. Patent 4,534,875).
  • Viscoelasticity is caused by a different type of micelle formation than the usual spherical micelles formed by most surfactant compositions. Viscoelastic surfactants form rod-like or cylindrical micelles. Although cylindrical micelles and spherical micelles have about the same diameter of 50 ⁇ (0.005 ⁇ m), cylindrical micelles can reach 1,000 to 2,000 ⁇ (0.1 to 0.2 ⁇ m) in length and contain hundreds or thousands of individual surfactant molecules. This high degree of association requires a specific set of conditions that can only be achieved by matching the surfactant composition with a suitable solution environment. The solution environment will depend on factors such as the type and concentration of electrolyte and the structure and concentration of organic compounds present.
  • a surfactant composition may form cylindrical micelles in one solution to impart viscoelastic properties to it and form spherical micelles in another solution.
  • the solution with spherical micelles will exhibit normal surfactant behavior and will not exhibit viscoelasticity.
  • a determination of whether a solution is viscoelastic can be easily determined by empirical evaluation as described hereinafter.
  • viscoelastic surfactants exhibit reversible shear thinning behavior. This means that under conditions of high stress, such as when the composition is sprayed through a nozzle, the composition will exhibit low viscosity. When the conditions of high stress are replaced with conditions of low stress, such as obtained when the composition has left the nozzle and is only subjected to gravitational force as it resides on a vertical surface, the composition will exhibit high viscosity. Secondly, viscoelastic surfactants will remain stable despite repeated high shear applications.
  • the thickened composition can be sprayed efficiently from a dispenser without undesirable mist and yet maintain its integrity on a vertical wall without running or dripping. Since typical polymeric thickeners will degrade when subjected to high shear, a bleach composition thickened with such a polymer will lose its integrity after repeated shearing.
  • the surfactant compositions within the scope of this invention are ionic viscoelastic surfactants.
  • the proper choice of counterion structure and solution environment gives viscoelasticity. It has been discovered that certain viscoelastic surfactants will thicken a bleach composition without unduly sacrificing bleach stability. What follows is a discussion of ionic surfactant compounds and the counterions necessary to impart viscoelasticity to bleach compositions.
  • ionic surfactant compounds comprise an ionic, hydrophilic moiety chemically bonded to a hydrophobic moiety (herein called a surfactant ion) and a counterion sufficient to satisfy the charge of the surfactant ion.
  • surfactant compounds are represented by the formula: R1(Y ⁇ )X ⁇ or R1(Z ⁇ )A ⁇ wherein R1(Y ⁇ ) and R1(Z ⁇ ) represent surfactant ions having a hydrophobic moiety represented by R1 and an ionic, solubilizing moiety represented by the cationic moiety Y ⁇ or the anionic moiety Z ⁇ chemically bonded thereto.
  • X ⁇ and A ⁇ are the counterions associated with the respective surfactant ions.
  • the hydrophobic moiety (i.e., R1) of the surfactant ion is a hydrocarbyl or inertly substituted hydrocarbyl radical having one or more substituent groups, e.g., halo groups such as -F, -Cl, or -Br or chain linkages, such as silicon linkage (-Si-), which are inert to the aqueous liquid and components contained therein.
  • the hydrocarbyl radical is an aralkyl group or a long chain alkyl or inertly substituted alkyl, which alkyl groups are generally linear and have at least 12 carbon atoms.
  • Representative long chain alkyl groups include dodecyl (lauryl), tetradecyl (myristyl), hexadecyl (cetyl), octadecyl (stearyl) and the derivatives of tallow, coco and soya.
  • Preferred groups are generally alkyl groups having from 14 to 24 carbon atoms, with octadecyl, hexadecyl, and tetradecyl being the most preferred.
  • the cationic, solubilizing hydrophilic moieties or groups are generally onium ions wherein the term "onium ions" refers to a cationic group which is essentially completely ionized in water over a wide range of pH, e.g., pH values of from 2 to 13.
  • Representative onium ions include, for example, quaternary ammonium groups, i.e., -N ⁇ (R)3; tertiary sulfonium groups, i.e., -S ⁇ (R)2; and quaternary phosphonium groups, i.e., -P ⁇ (R)3, wherein each R is individually a hydrocarbyl or inertly substituted hydrocarbyl.
  • the surfactant ion of the viscoelastic surfactant is preferably prepared having a quaternary ammonium group, i.e., -N ⁇ (R)3, with each R preferably being methyl or ethyl.
  • anionic, solubilizing hydrophilic moieties or groups herein designated Z ⁇
  • Z ⁇ include sulfate groups, ether sulfate groups, sulfonate groups, carboxylate groups, phosphate groups, and phosphonate groups.
  • the surfactant ion of the viscoelastic surfactants is preferably prepared having a carboxylate or sulfate group.
  • the most preferred anionic surfactant ion is an alkyl diphenyl ether disulphonate sold by The Dow Chemical Company, under the trademark "DOFAX 2A1", especially where the alkyl group is octadecyl.
  • Fluoroaliphatic species suitably employed in the practice of this invention include organic compounds represented by the formula: R f Z1 wherein Rf is a saturated fluoroaliphatic moiety, preferably containing a F3C- moiety and z1 is an ionic moiety.
  • the fluoroaliphatics can be perfluorocarbons. Suitable ionic moieties will be described hereinafter.
  • the fluoroaliphatic moiety advantageously contains from 3 to 20 carbons wherein all can be fully fluorinated, preferably from 3 to 10 of such carbons.
  • This fluoroaliphatic moiety can be linear, branched or cyclic, preferably linear, and can contain an occasional carbon-bonded hydrogen or halogen other than fluorine.
  • linear perfluoroaliphatic moieties represented by the formula: C n F2+1 wherein n is in the range of from 3 to 10.
  • An example of a linear perfluorocarbon that is stable to oxidation is CF3(CF2) p SO3 ⁇ A ⁇ wherein p is from 2 to 6. The method of its preparation is described in U.S. Patent 2,732,398.
  • the counterions are ions that have a charge opposite that of the surfactant ions.
  • the counterions and surfactant ions associate in the bleach composition and impart viscoelastic properties to it.
  • Ions that are anionic serve as counterions for surfactant ions having a cationic hydrophilic moiety; and the ions that are cationic serve as counterions for surfactant ions having an anionic, hydrophilic moiety.
  • the organic counterions are formed by dissociation of the corresponding salts, acids, or bases.
  • the preferred anionic counterions are organic, especially sulfonates or carboxylates.
  • anionic counterions which, when employed with a cationic surfactant ion, are capable of imparting viscoelastic properties to the bleach composition include various aromatic sulfonates such as p-toluene sulfonate and naphthalene sulfonate; and chlorobenzoic acid, where such counterions are water-soluble.
  • the cationic counterion may be an onium ion, most preferably a quaternary ammonium group.
  • Representative cationic counterions in the form of a quaternary ammonium group include benzyl trimethyl ammonium or alkyl trimethyl arnonium wherein the alkyl group is advantageously octyl, decyl, dodecyl and cetyl. Most preferred is an alkyltrimethylammonium such as hexadecyltrimethylammonium supplied in the form of the bromide (HTAB). It is highly desirable to avoid stoichiometric amounts of surfactant ions and counterions when the alkyl groups of the counterions are large.
  • the use of cationic counterions is generally less preferred than the use of anionic counterions.
  • the particular surfactant ions and counterions are selected so that the combination imparts viscoelastic properties to an aqueous liquid.
  • those combinations which form such viscoelastic surfactants will vary but are easily determined by the test methods hereinbefore described.
  • the preferred surfactant compounds include those represented by the formula: wherein n is an integer from 13 to 23, preferably an integer from 15 to 21; each R is independently an alkyl group, or alkylaryl, preferably independently methyl, ethyl or benzyl; and X ⁇ is a p-toluene sulfonate.
  • Especially preferred surfactant ions include cetyltrimethylammonium, myristyltrimethylammonium, and octadecyltrimethylammonium. Combinations of surfactant compounds can also be employed.
  • the viscoelastic surfactants are easily prepared by admixing the basic form of the desired cationic surfactant ions with a stoichiometric amount of the acidic form of the desired anionic counterions or by admixing the acidic form of the desired anionic surfactant ions with a stoichiometric amount of the basic form of the desired cationic counterions.
  • stoichiometric amounts of the salts of the surfactant ions and counterions can be admixed to form the viscoelastic surfactant. See, for example, the procedures described in U.S. Patent 2,541,816.
  • the concentration of viscoelastic surfactant required to impart viscoelastic properties to the bleach composition, where the viscoelasticity is measured by the techniques previously described, is that which measurably increases the viscosity of the composition.
  • the type and concentration of viscoelastic surfactant required to increase the viscosity depends on the composition of the aqueous liquid, temperature, shear rate to which the bleach composition will be subjected, and the end use contemplated. In general, the requisite concentration of any specific viscoelastic surfactant is determined experimentally.
  • the concentration of viscoelastic surfactant ranges from 0.05 to 10 weight percent of the bleach composition. More preferably, the concentration of viscoelastic surfactant ranges from 0.1 to 2 weight percent of the bleach composition.
  • excess counterions are added to the bleach composition to further increase its viscosity, increase its viscosity stability at higher temperatures, or both.
  • the counterions employed will have a charge opposite that of the surfactant ions and will dissolve in the bleach composition.
  • the excess counterions employed are the same as the counterions employed to associate with the surfactant ions to form the viscoelastic surfactant.
  • the excess counterions can be different from the counterions which form the viscoelastic surfactant.
  • concentration of excess counterions required to further increase the viscosity, increase the stability at higher temperatures, or both, will depend on the composition of the aqueous liquid, the surfactant ions and counterions employed, and the desired viscosity. Ordinarily, the concentration of excess counterions which will produce a noticeable effect ranges from 0.1 to 20, and more assuredly and preferably from 0.5 to 5, moles per mole of surfactant ions.
  • the bleach composition may contain an emulsion of an immiscible liquid, such as an oil or other organic ingredient, at a concentration ranging from 0.05 to 20 weight percent of the bleach composition.
  • concentration of immiscible liquid must be lower than that which will adversely affect the stability of the bleach composition.
  • Viscoelastic surfactants employed in such emulsions tend to lose their viscoelasticity, possibly because the oil penetrates the micelles and destroys the aggregates required for viscoelasticity. Viscoelastic surfactants containing excess counterions maintain viscoelasticity in an emulsion longer than those without the excess counterions.
  • fluorinated viscoelastic surfactants maintain viscoelasticity in an emulsion longer at concentrations ranging up to 50 weight percent, most preferably up to 10 weight percent of the bleach composition.

  • Good phase stability refers to the lack of development of separate phases for the bleach composition and viscoelastic surfactant until the bleach activity falls below useful values (for example, 75 percent bleach degradation).

  • a fine mesh screen device can be fitted over the nozzle of the dispensing device to intercept emitted bleach composition.
  • the sample was transferred to a polyethylene bottle which was sealed and placed in a constant temperature (31°C) dark environment. Portions of the sample were periodically removed in order to evaluate the NaOCl concentration. The amount of NaOCl was determined using titration techniques employing sodium thiosulfate and starch/iodine indicator. Viscosity of the thickened bleach compositions were periodically evaluated using a Rheometrics Fluids Rheometer in a steady shear mode, and cone and plate configuration. Data are presented in Table I.
  • the sample was transferred into a dispensing device which is generally described in U.S. Patent No. 4,463,905.
