Definitions
- the present invention relates to detergent compositions.
- it relates to the making of liquid machine dishwashing detergent compositions suitable for use in cleansing food soils from cooking utensils, dishes, glasses and similar ware.
- the present invention relates to a method of making a stable, pourable, aqueous system comprising at least partially undissolved builder salts and a dissolved alkali silicate, the composition being essentially free of conventional structuring agents.
- the system is characterised by its thixotropic nature.
- Detergents for use in domestic machine dishwashers are generally available in powdered or granular forms.
- solid compositions exhibit a number of disadvantages for the producer and user.
- the compositions cannot generally be spray-dried, and thus separate manufacturing facilities to those generally used for powdered detergents must be built.
- the powders often incorporate large lumps caused by caking during storage at high humidity. This can cause difficulties in dispersion. Powdered forms of the product are often very dusty, which can affect dispensing as well as causing irritation.
- liquid detergents must meet certain requirements. Firstly, the liquid must be a uniform mixture of ingredients in order to deliver the optimum combination of active components to the wash with each dose.
- active components we mean those components which actually take part in the cleaning, rather than those acting as fillers. In many formulations described in the art, this requires that the liquid be shaken before each use in order to re-mix the different components.
- a preferred product should be stable against physical separation and segregation of the active components during storage.
- Particulate solids for example detergency builders, should remain suspended in liquid detergents.
- some kind of structuring system is necessary. In aqueous detergent liquids this may be achieved either by "external structuring", ie adding an additional component such as a polymer or clay, or using the interaction of the water in the liquid and the detergent actives themselves, to form an "internal structure" to support the solids (eg secondary alkane sulphonates and phosphonates).
- external structuring ie adding an additional component such as a polymer or clay, or using the interaction of the water in the liquid and the detergent actives themselves, to form an "internal structure" to support the solids (eg secondary alkane sulphonates and phosphonates).
- microscopic investigation indicates that some type of suspending network is formed.
- the phrase 'structuring agent' as used herein is taken to mean any component, e.g. clay, polymer or biocellulosic, which at suitable amounts within a liquid imparts a structure to said liquid, usually by network formation.
- the use of such agents, particularly clay, in lower amounts is not to be taken as being excluded from compositions. Such low amounts may act as builders or rinse aids.
- the critical amount of the component in question may only be determined by reference to experiments or the prior art.
- the detergent For use with machine dishwashers, the detergent must be compatible with the dishwashing equipment presently available.
- Home dishwashing machines use a detergent cup which has been designed to house powdered or granular solid detergent and deliver it to a specific wash cycle.
- the cups are usually held vertically on the dishwasher door and are not designed to contain low viscosity liquids. Consequently. liquids for use as machine dishwashing detergents must possess sufficient viscosity to be effectively retained in the cup and avoid leakage into the machine during cycles which precede the wash. Excessive leakage will lead to under-dosing in the wash cycle and may affect cleaning performance. However, they must not be so viscous that they cannot be washed out of the dispensing cup at the appropriate time.
- GB 1 527 706 discloses a slurry structured by the addition of synthetic polymers.
- GB 2 140 450 discloses liquids structured with clay. The clay lowers the amount of active component which can be delivered in each dose.
- the presence of insoluble clay minerals can negatively affect glass spotting and filming performance.
- the use of biopolymers or cellulosics within a liquid detergent base has also been proposed to provide thickened systems. eg US 4 226 736 and US 4 260 528.
- GB 2 185 037 has disclosed the use of long-chain fatty acids to provide a thickening effect.
- the present invention makes use of different principles to obtain pourable and stable liquid systems.
- the present invention does not involve the use of a network-forming structurant. Due to the absence of such a structurant, which in the current state of the art is judged to be essential for keeping the solid particles well suspended, the present invention involves liquid systems (dispersions) which are Newtonian (eg not shear thinning) over a broad range of shear rate values: 1-100 sec -1 .
- compositions made according to the present invention the solids are present as individual particles and not as flocculates.
- the deflocculation effect can be illustrated by the following observation: the addition of 40% zeolite 4A to a 20% sodium disilicate (ratio 3.6) solution results in the formation of a viscous, shear thinning unusable paste outside the scope of the invention. Adjusting the silicate ratio with NaOH or KOH the viscosity will drop considerably and a thin, pourable, pseudo-Newtonian system is obtained by deflocculation of the particles.
- the preferred rheological behaviour is identified by the Thixotropic Index (TI) which has to be between 0.5 and 2.5.
- the Thixotropic Index is herein defined as the ratio of the apparent LVT Brookfield viscosity of a sample after 3 minutes at room temperature using a No 4 spindle at (a) 3 rpm and (b) 30 rpm.
- compositions made according to the present invention are formulated for ware washing, in particular for use in machine dishwashers. They have improved rheology and stability in comparison to compositions of the prior art and can deliver a high and uniform dosage of active ingredients to the machine wash cycle
- the detergent builder material may preferably be a non-phosphate builder salt.
- Such builders include water-soluble inorganic carbonate and bicarbonate
- Water-soluble organic builders which may be used include polyacetates, carboxylates, polycarboxylates and polyhydroxy sulphonates, at least a proportion of the salt remaining undissolved.
- Particularly preferred as builders are zeolite and amorphous silica alumina builders.
- Aluminosilicates of the zeolite type may be prepared as described in US 2 882 243 (Union Carbide) or of the amorphous type as described in EP 0 097 512 (Unilever)
- the aluminosilicate is preferably of the formula 0.8-1 5 Na 2 O; Al 2 O 3 ; 1.7 - 3.0 SiO 2 ; 2 - 6 H 2 O.
- NTA NTA
- EDTA EDTA
- CMOS complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor
- DPA DPA
- the builder constitutes from 5-60%, preferably from 20-40%.
- the second essential component of the compositions made according to the present invention is a silicate material.
- disilicates are partic arly preferred, although metasilicates may also be included.
- the alkali-metal silicates which are used serve as anti-corrosion agents. protecting metal and china surfaces against harshly alkaline environments present during a dishwashing cycle.
- the silicate-based material constitutes from 3-40%, preferably from 5-20%.
- the present invention provides compositions which do not necessarily contain any detergent surfactants.
- the compositions may be used for the delivery of caustic agents to the wash liquor during mechanical dishwashing operations.
- one or more detergent surfactant agents may be selected from one or more of nonionic, anionic, cationic, zwitterionc and amphoteric agents.
- Such agents are commercially available and will be well known by those skilled in the art; for instance, they are fully described in the literature, such as in "Surface Active Agents and Detergents", Volumes I and II by Schwarz, Perry and Berch.
- any detergent active material comprises one or more nonionic agents, for example the condensation products of alcohols having from 8-16 carbon atoms, and alkyl phenols with alkylene oxides including ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, butylene oxide and mixtures thereof.
- the alcohols are linear, having from 12-15 carbon atoms, and are condensed with 2-10 mols of ethylene oxide.
- Most preferred are those compounds which are generally regarded as "low-foaming", especially those where the alkylene oxide chain is terminated by a moiety other than hydrogen.
- compositions made according to the present invention are prepared by admixture of the various components.
- An alkali-metal hypochlorite may be present in the formula as an agent for removing tea, coffee and other food stains from cups, dishes, flatware, etc.
- the bleach source may be present in the mixture at from 0.1-10 wt %, with the most preferred range being from 0.1-2 wt % (percentages as active chlorine).
- Electrolytes such as NaCI, Nal, Na 2 SO 4 may be included in the composition at from 0.1 to 10 wt %.
- Defoamers may be included in the composition. These defoamers may be of the general type of slightly soluble alkyl carboxylates, alkyl phosphates, hydrophobic silicas, silicone defoamers, or many others. In addition to being an effective defoamer, the species should be stable to hypochlorite.
- the defoamer may optionally be present in the composition at from 0-5 wt %, more preferably from 0.1-1 wt %, and most preferably from 0.1-0.5 wt %.
- the products made according to the present invention exhibit a high degree of stability at room temperature. in comparison to other systems. Unlike known liquids, the products produced in accordance with the present invention do not require shaking in order to redisperse the ingredients. Furthermore, compositions formulated in accordance with the present invention exhibit a higher density (1.7-1.8) than comparable products of the prior art. This is particularly important when considering transportation. A more concentrated liquid benefits from lower packing and transport costs. Also, a unit dose will deliver more active ingredients per unit dose than products produced in accordance with the art.
- Liquid systems made according to the present invention are not susceptible to setting after storage. Even after prolonged storage the product does not solidify and no setting has been observed. The inference is that the product can be dosed without shaking or squeezing the bottle which is required for the current liquids with an external structurant. Dealing with bottles of 1.5-2.5 kg this benefits the convenience aspect of the product.
- compositions made according to the present invention provide a liquid system which is very convenient for consumers whilst being also perfectly suitable for an automatic dosing application.
- the automatic dosing principle can be used for domestic as well as industrial dishwashing machines.
- compositions made according to the present invention are pourable from rest without need for shear thinning. Dispenser behaviour is strongly determined by the rheological properties of the liquid. In the prior art, Newtonian liquids are not considered to be suitable. Some of the liquids made according to the present invention have been tested to measure dispenser cup leakage in a number of commercially-available dispenser types. It was found that the degree of dispenser cup leakage was acceptable if the liquid had a viscosity of at least 2000 mPAS.
- dishwashing compositions formulated according to the present invention show less tendency to cause spot formation on glass than other conventionally structured (eg by polymers or clavs) liquid deterqent systems. This is particularly noticeable after a number of wash cycles.
- a further possible use of the system of the invention arises when considering systems incorporating zeolite as the builder.
- Zeolite slurrys of the prior art are known to be unstable.
- JP-A-54/64504 discloses generally a zeolite slurry for detergent products, having good stability and high fluidity and consisting of an aqueous solution of a zeolite builder and a soluble alkali-metal silicate having a silica to alkali molar ratio of from 2.0 to 3.5.
- the liquids made according to the present invention provide a stable zeolite slurry which does not separate on standing.
- the slurry can be spray dried as a basis for formulating powders for ware washing.
- the stability of liquid compositions made according to the present invention was measured as the percentage of separation at 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks after storage at 20°C.
- the build-up of spots over 4 washes is measured as the number of spots on a glass tumbler: 0 1 1-5 2 6-10 3 11-20 4 >20 5
- composition wt% Zeolite 4A 42 Sokalan Polymer (20% slurry) 5 Disilicate (ratio 2.0) 20 K OH (85% soln) 5 HOCI (as Cl 2 ) 1 Water to 100
- composition was found not to have separated over a period of weeks and was suitable for cleaning dishes in a machine dishwasher.
