Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a disposable impregnated wipe for cleaning or upkeep of surfaces, such as glass, mirrors, tiles or other household surfaces.
  • EP-A-0,211,773 (Kimberly-Clark) relates to a disposable wipe impregnated with a composition comprising a wax, a silicone oil and a detergent or soap.
  • this wipe When this wipe is partially impregnated with this composition, it can absorb water in amount comprising between 200 % and 800 % of its weight.
  • This wipe is used for applying a protective film based on wax and silicone oil on a car still wet after washing it.
  • United States Patent No 4,666,621 (Clark et al) relates to a wipe impregnated with a liquid composition for cleaning hard surfaces without leaving trails or fluff, comprising a non-woven material containing wood pulp and synthetic fibres, the liquid composition including about 0.001 to about 1 per cent by weight of a surfactant, about 1 to about 40 per cent by weight of an aliphatic mono-alcohol having 1 to 6 carbon atoms and about 60 to about 99 per cent by weight of demineralized water, the non-woven material containing in addition about 0.225 to about 2.25 per cent by weight with respect to the weight of a non-woven material of an acrylic polymer.
  • This wipe leaves slight trails on the clean glass surface, when it is used in a single horizontal pass.
  • the Applicant has established as objective to obtain a single use disposable wipe impregnated with a liquid composition in conditions such that in use, it leads in part to the total elimination of soil and in part to the appearance of the surface free from trails or films resulting from deposition of any cleaning product with which it is impregnated or of the substrate itself.
  • Materials meeting these conditions are preferably chosen from amongst hydrophilic woven materials which do not produce fluff, such as cotton fabrics and other cellulosic fabrics, non-woven materials obtained by wet or dry methods.
  • the materials Preferably, for use in the invention the materials have a superficial density or grammage of at least 20 g/m2.
  • the object of the present invention which consists in disposable, imprgnated wipe for cleaning and maintaining surfaces, including a hydrophilic woven or non-woven material obtained by wet or dry methods, having a maximum water absorption capacity of at least 200 % by weight, impregnated with an aqueous composition to a level of impregnation not exceeding 50 % of this maximum absorption capacity, which is characterized in that the aqueous composition is in the form of an aqueous solution containing : at least one water-miscible solvent at a rate of at least 4 % by weight of the total weight of the aqueous composition, and at least one mineral or organic acid in sufficient quantity to confer an acid pH on the said solution.
  • this pH is between 2 and 5 and optimally lies between 3.5 and 3.8.
  • the mineral or organic acid is selected from acids having no physico-chemical action on the hydrophilic material, notably acetic, citric, maleic, phosphoric and alkylsulfonic acids.
  • each water-miscible solvent is selected from those volatile solvents with a vapour pressure at 20°C above 13 Pa, notably alcohols containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, butanol, glycols and glycol ethers containing 2 to 8 carbon atoms, notably monoethylene glycol butyl ether, and volatile silicones, notably DC 344 (marketed by Dow Corning).
  • volatile solvents with a vapour pressure at 20°C above 13 Pa notably alcohols containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, butanol, glycols and glycol ethers containing 2 to 8 carbon atoms, notably monoethylene glycol butyl ether, and volatile silicones, notably DC 344 (marketed by Dow Corning).
  • the level of impregnation lies between 5 and 35 % of the maximum absorption capacity of the material in its dry state in strict dependence on the nature of the said material.
  • the water-miscible solvent(s) are present at a level of 5 to 40 % by weight in relation to the total weight of the said aqueous solution.
  • the aqueous solution can contain inter alia a small amount of an ionic, nonionic or amphoteric surfactant and small amounts of at least one product selected from disinfectants, perfumes, colorants and preservatives.
  • a non-woven material (referred to hereafter by a letter A) supplied by departments thereof under reference 2406 of grammage 35 g/m2 was used.
  • a square (30 X 30 cm) of this material is impregnated at 35 g/m2 (approximately 25 % of the maximum absorption quantity) with an aqueous composition of the following formula :
  • the impregnation was effected by putting the material into contact with the quantity of composition corresponding to the above level of impregnation (25 % by weight).
  • a fatty, soiling composition was prepared from lard, margarine, carbon black and ferrous and ferric oxides, 0.04 g of this composition was spread over a black pane of glass (30 X 40 cm).
  • Table 1 hereafter gives the averages of the results obtained for comparison with different levels of impregnation on the same non-woven material.
  • Example 1 was followed except that different materials were used :
  • a non-woven (referred to hereafter as C) commercially referred to as HOMECEL 90 by Deutsch Kaysersberg, of grammage 90 g/m2 and maximum water absorption capacity of 880 g/m2 made from 80 % cellulose fibres and 20 % acrylic binder, thermobonded and obtained by dry method was used.
  • Table II hereafter shows the results obtained for comparison with the results of Example 1.
  • a non-woven (referred to hereafter as F) commercially referred to as 1140 by Institute des Non Tissés, of grammage 45 g/m2 and maximum water absorption 160 g/m2 made from 50 % cotton fibres, 30 % viscose fibres, 20 % acrylic binder and obtained by wet method.
  • Table II bis hereafter shows the results obtained for comparison with the results of Example 1. This table shows that for the non-woven D, a level of impregnation of 10 % gives almost excellent (assessed 4.8) results, although with the non-wovens E and F a result assessed excellent is obtained for a level of impregnation of 25 %.
  • Example 1 The same non-woven material referred to as A in Example 1 was used.
  • Impregnation was done by means of the following composition :
  • the pH is 5 due to the technical grade of the surfactants used and which contain some acid.
  • Formulae 1 to 8 were prepared with an acid pH in accordance with the invention.
  • Formulae 9 to 11 were prepared with a non-acid pH, and by virtue of that fact are not part of the invention.
  • Example 1 The non-woven A of Example 1 was impregnated to different levels using, each time, one of the formulae 1 to 11 and testing of efficacy was done as in Example 1.
  • Table IV and V show still more surprisingly that those formulae that have pH between 3.5 and 3.8 lead to good or excellent results.
  • Example 1 allows the determination of the conditions of maximum efficacy of an impregnated wipe in accordance with the present invention which have not been described in the preceding Examples.
