  • the dissolution time of the polymer in the present specification is defined as the time required for a polymer film having a thickness of 30 »m and an area of 1 cm2 to dissolves completely in water when it is placed on the surface of water at 20°C.
  • the equilibrium moisture content of the polymer is determined as follows: (1) a test film is placed in a Petri dish, and the Petri dish is put in a desiccator in the bottom of which a saturated aqueous solution of ammonium chloride is contained in an amount of about 5 - 10% by volume of the bottom space, whereby the relative humidity in the desiccator is maintained at about 80% at 20°C; (2) the dessicator is held in a thermostatic chamber at 20°C for 10 days; and (3) the film in the dessicator is weighed daily over these 10 days to determine the equilibrium moisture content of the polymer.
  • polymers satisfying the above properties and having film forming properties are polyoxyethylene derivatives, such as polyesters of polyether polyols which contain polyoxyethylene groups, with polycarboxylic acid and the like.
  • Preferred polyether polyols contain polyoxyethylene groups as an essential element, which may contain other polyoxyalkylene groups derived from alkylene oxides such as propylene oxide, butylene oxide, styrene oxide and the like.

  • a monoalcohol cannot extend the polymer chain, and a triol or a polyol having more than 3 hydroxyl groups tends to be reticulated and to be insoluble in water.
  • polyether polyols for example, polyethylene glycol and polypropylene glycol; polyethylene glycol and polyoxyethylene/polyoxypropylene copolymer; polyoxyethylene glycerin and polyoxyethylene/polyoxypropylene copolymer; polyoxyethylene triethanolamine and polyoxyethylene/polyoxypropylene copolymer may also be used. These combinations are not restriced to the above.
  • the polyether polyol itself may contain additional groups such as oxyethylene groups or oxypropylene groups, such may be block copolymers or random copolymers.
  • the polyether polyol may be obtained according to conventional methods, for example, by reacting a desired alkylene oxide, or a mixture of two or more thereof, with one or more active hydrogen containing compound(s) in the presence of catalyst, for example, an alkaline catalyst such as potassium hydroxide or sodium carbonate, or acid catalyst such as boron trifluoride, under a suitable pressure such as 0 to 10 atoms (gauge pressure) at a temperature of, for example, from 60 to 160°C.
  • catalyst for example, an alkaline catalyst such as potassium hydroxide or sodium carbonate, or acid catalyst such as boron trifluoride, under a suitable pressure such as 0 to 10 atoms (gauge pressure) at a temperature of, for example, from 60 to 160°C.
  • alkaline catalyst for an addition polymerization of the alkylene oxide is particularly preferred, because the alkaline catalyst can be also be used as the catalyst for a successive esterification without any elimination thereof or use of additional catalyst.
  • the content of the polyoxyethylene moiety in the polyether polyol is preferably more than 50% by weight, more preferably 70 to 100% by weight based on the total weight of the polyether polyol. If the content of the polyoxyethylene moiety is less than 50%, the water-solubility becomes insufficient.
  • the polyether polyol should be water soluble, and preferably has a weight average molecular weight of more than about 1,000, more preferably more than about 2,000, more preferably 3,000 to 50,000 from the viewpoint of its water solubility and tear strength.
  • the most preferred examples of the polymers for the present invention are polyesters of polyether polyols with polycarboxylic acids.
  • Such polymers can be prepared according to Japanese Patent Application KOKAI No. 56-226018.
  • polycarboxylic acids which may be used for the preparation of the polyester are aliphatic polycarboxylic acids such as malonic acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid, pimelic acid, suberic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, mesaconic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, hexane tricarboxylic acid, and the like; aromatic polycarboxylic acids such as phthalic acid, isophthalic acid, terephthalic acid, trimellitic acid, pyromellitic acid, 1,5-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, dimmer acid and the like.

  • a preferred weight average molecular weight of the polymer such as polyesters of the polyether polyols and the polycarboxylic acid is preferably in the range of from 10,000 to 500,000. If the molecular weight is less than 10,000, the water-solubility of the polymer film or sheet so obtained would be sufficient, but the tear strength will be lower than the limit required and the equilibrium moisture content will exceed the upper limit required, whereas with a molecular weight of more than 500,000 the water-solubility will decrease.
  • the ratio of the polyether polyol to the polycarboxylic acid, ester or acid anhydride is not restrictive providing the molecular weight of the polyether polyol is not less than 1,000, and that of the obtained polymer is not less than 10,000 and not more than 500,000.
  • a film or a sheet obtained from the above polymers has an excellent water-solubility, and dissolves rapidly in water, that is, it can be dissolved at a speed of about 2 to 5 times that of a water soluble polyvinyl alcohol film of the same thickness. Accordingly, a unit packaging detergent packaged in the film or sheet made of the above polymers is rapidly and completely dissolved in water, when thrown into a washing machine, and causes no problems such as an insoluble polymer adhering to or depositing on the washed clothes. Further, the film or sheet made from the above polymer has such a high tear strength that it is not torn or broken when used as a packaging film or sheet in an autopackaging machine.
  • the film or sheet obtained from the above polymer has such a low equilibrium moisture content that it can maintain a very high strength under a high humidity, as in the rainy season, in spite of its high water-solubility, which is a specifically desirable property.
  • the aforementioned polymer is chemically stable, and heat sealable, and additionally the water-solubility of the heat sealed part is maintained so that it does not adhere to and remain on washed cloths after washing, in contrast to PVA, it can be used for unit packaging of a detergent for domestic use or for a vending machine.
  • the esterification of the polyether polyol and the polycarboxylic acid, ester, or acid anhydride can be effected in a conventional manner, for example, by heating under reduced pressure in the presence of catalyst such as p-toluene sulfonic acid, boron trifluoride, potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, alkali methals and the like.
  • catalyst such as p-toluene sulfonic acid, boron trifluoride, potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, alkali methals and the like.
  • the preferred temperature is 80 to 250°C, and the preferred pressure is 0.133 to 2666,44 Pa (0.001 to 20 Torr).
  • the reaction can be usually completed within 0.5 to 10 hours. Of course, the reaction may be carried out with the removal of generated water or lower alcohol by ventilation with nitrogen gas.
  • the aforementioned esterification is only by way of suitable example, and should not be construed restrictively.
  • the molecular weight of the polymer may be controlled by the ratio of the polyether polyol to the polycarboxylic acid, or by controlling the reduced pressure. The latter is more practical and easier. As the reaction pressure is lowered, a polymer having a larger molecular weight can be obtained.
  • the aformentioned polyesters are the most suitable polymers for providing a film or a sheet for packaging a detergent
  • another water soluble polymer such as methyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, carboxy methyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyacrylate (e.g. sodium, potassium or ammonium salts) and the like may be mixed therewith.
  • the content of another water soluble polymer is preferably less than 10% by weight of the polymer of the present invention.
  • a film or a sheet of the polymer suitable for packaging a detergent can be obtained in a conventional manner such as by solvent casting, melt extrusion, and the like.
  • the film or sheet of the present invention may contain other substances which are usually formulated into detergent compositions, for example, antioxidants, fluorescent agents, defoamers, chelating agents, and the like, or others such as solubility controlling agents, such as a comparatively lower molecular weight polyethylene glycol; plasticizers; mildew-proofing agents; and the like, if desired.
  • solubility controlling agents such as a comparatively lower molecular weight polyethylene glycol; plasticizers; mildew-proofing agents; and the like, if desired.
  • the thickness of the film or sheet should be controlled in respect of the strength or durability to the packaging process, potential use in a vending machine, storage, commercial transporation and the like; water-solubility in use in order to make the detergent dissolve rapidly and to prevent an insoluble substance from redepositing on washed clothes; moisture permeability in order to prevent the detergent from caking, wetting or deteriorating; and the economics thereof.
  • a usual thickness of the film for the packaging of a detergent is from 10 to 100 »m, more preferably 20 to 60 »m. It would also be preferable to use a film or a sheet having such a thickness in the present invention, because a film or a sheet within this range of thickness is applicable to packaging machines generally used.
  • the polymers to be used for the film or sheet of the present invention should have (1) a tear strength, (2) a dissolution time and (3) an equilibrium moisture content as aforementioned.
  • the detergent to be packaged in the water soluble polymer film or sheet of the present invention is not restricted, and may be any usual detergent.
