- All the rheology stabilizing agents described above are the acidic form of the species, i.e., M is H. It is intended that the present invention also cover the salt derivatives of these species, i.e., M is an alkali metal, preferably sodium or potassium. In fact, since the pH of compositions of the present invention are in the alkaline range, the rheology stabilizing agents exist primarily as the ionized salt in the aqueous composition herein. It is also intended the anhydrous derivatives of certain species described above be included in this invention, e.g., pyromellitic dianhydride, phthalic anhydride, sulfophthalic anhydride, etc.
- Mixtures of the rheology stabilizing agents as described herein may also be used in the present invention.
- This component is present in an amount of from about 0.05% to about 2%, preferably from about 0.1% to about 1.5%, most preferably from about 0.2% to about 1%, by weight, of the composition.
- Cross-linked polymers especially those of high molecular weight, as used in the present bleach-containing composition, are vulnerable to bleach-initiated degradation and result in a loss of rheology that can be unacceptable for some applications.
- a certain small percentage of the chlorine bleach ingredient is present in solution in the form of a free radical, i.e., a molecular fragment having one or more unpaired electrons.
- These radicals although short lived, are highly reactive and may initiate the degradation of certain other species in solution, including the cross-linked polycarboxylate polymers, via propagation mechanism.
- the polymers of this invention are susceptible to this degradation because of the presumed oxidizable sites present in the cross-linking structure.
- rheology stabilizing agent substantially increases the physical stability, i.e., rheological stability, of the composition of the present invention when added.
- rheology stabilizing agent functions as a free radical scavenger, tying up the highly reactive species in the composition and preventing them from attacking the degradation-susceptible structure of the polycarboxylate polymers.
- rheology stabilizing agent ineffective as the rheology stabilizing agent in the present invention because they react with chlorine bleach or are unable to impede the interaction between the bleach ingredient and the polymeric thickening agent.
- One of the preferred rheology stabilizing agents herein is benzoic acid. Benzoates have been characterized in the art as weak radical scavengers and nearly ineffective in an alkaline medium. However, phthalic and toluic acids, which have not been characterized as radical scavengers, function effectively as a rheology stabilizing agent.
- compositions it is generally desirable to also include one or more buffering agents capable of maintaining the pH of the compositions within the alkaline range, determined as the pH of the undiluted composition ("as is") with a pH meter. It is in this pH range that optimum performance and stability of the bleach are realized, and it is also within this pH range wherein optimum composition chemical and physical stability are achieved.
- composition pH above about 10, preferably above about 11.5, minimizes undesirable chemical decomposition of the active chlorine, hypochlorite-yielding bleaching agents. Maintenance of this particular pH range also minimizes the chemical interaction between the strong hypochlorite bleach and the surfactant compounds present in the instant compositions. Finally, as noted, high pH values such as those maintained by an optional buffering agent serve to enhance the soil and stain removal properties during utilization of the present compositions.
- any compatible material or mixture of materials which has the effect of maintaining the composition pH within the alkaline pH range, and preferably within a 10 to about 13 range, can be utilized as the buffering agent in the instant invention.

After the composition has cooled to about 90 o F (32 o C) or below, the aqueous sodium hypochlorite is added as approximately 13% available chlorine. Optional perfume and colorants are added last. The composition is clear or translucent, with no visible particles or turbidity. Balance water is added, along with sufficient KOH trim to adjust the pH of the composition "as is"" to 12.2-12.3, and further KOH trim is used if needed after overnight equilibration.
- samples of the above composition exhibit an apparent Brookfield yield value of about 250 to 450 dynes/cm2, an apparent viscosity at high shear (100 rpm, Brookfield RVT #6) of about 1300 to 2000 cps, and an apparent viscosity at moderate shear (20 rpm, Brookfield RVT #6) of about 4000 to 7000 cps.
- a benzene ring with one or two carboxylic acid groups can more than double the rheological life of the above composition under such storage conditions.
- four carboxyl functions on the ring exhibit reduced benefit, and more than four carboxyls result in essentially no stability benefit.
- viscosity usually increases in the early weeks and is believed to be due to continuing polymer swelling by caustic and bleach.
- benzoic acid or substituted benzoic acids usually results in an initial lower viscosity compared to the no additive formula, but a dramatically improved storage stable formula is achieved.
- Benzoic acid and the benzoate salts are identified in published literature as potential free radical scavengers.
- Other liquid automatic dishwashing detergent compositions using known free radical scavengers are prepared approximately according to the method described in the preceding Example.
- benzoic acid or benzoate salt With the addition of benzoic acid or benzoate salt, the available chlorine decays at about the same rate or slower, compared to the no-additive control.
- Most other free radical scavengers degrade the activity of the hypochlorite bleach when placed in storage tests in the formula context of the previous example. % of Initial Value Remaining Rheology Stabilizing Agent Viscosity Av.
- Example II Various levels of benzoic acid (prospective rheology stabilizing agent) are tested following the method of preparation in Example I. Also, these samples are screened in the rapid aging stability test as described above. Viscosity stability as a function of storage time is shown: Benzoic Acid Level Initial Viscosity % of Initial Viscosity After: (Centipoise) 1 Week 2 Weeks 3 Weeks 4 Weeks 6 Weeks None 1900 112% 14% ** 0.1% 3540* 108% 92% 14% ** 0.2% 1830 107% 113% 91% 66% ** 0.5% 1760 114% 111% 122% 101% 69% 0.7% 1300 145% 101% 84% 68% 94% 1.0% 1430 130% 134% 158 122% 105% *This sample only at 1.21% polyacrylic acid vs. 1.07% in other samples. **Measured below 10% of initial viscosity, or approaching water-thin by appearance.
- the degree of increased rheological stability desired in a composition can be achieved by adjustment of the level of benzoate compound added to the formulation, realizing that higher levels can adversely affect initial composition viscosity.
- liquid automatic dishwashing detergent compositions are as follows:
- Viscosity stability as a function of time in 120 o F (49 o C) is summarized.
- Composition Initial Viscosity % of Initial Viscosity After: (Centipoise) 1 Week 2 Weeks 3 Weeks 4 Weeks A-1 1380 130% 36% * * A-2 1480 121% 105% 95% 100% B-1 2960 90% * B-2 4320 114% 87% 88% 72% *Measured viscosity below 10% of initial, or approaching water-thin by appearance.
- the degree of stabilization benefit achieved with the addition of benzoic acid depends on the type of polymer used in the composition. Both the degree of benefit and the rate of degradation of viscosity without the benzoate additive are thought to be dependent on the amount or type of cross-linking component and/or presence of other minor components in the particular polymer stock. Nevertheless, there is some degree of improvement in rheological stability seen with all polymer stocks tested.
- Substituted benzoic acids are placed into the compositions of Example I (less the MSAP) as candidate rheology stabilizers and are subjected to the same stress stability testing in light-shielded bottles at 120 o F (49 o C).
- the hydroxybenzoic samples lose all available chlorine by day one, so no viscosity readings are considered relevant beyond that point.
- toluic acid is a preferred rheology stabilizer, and it appears that a meta isomer may be a preferred positional configuration.
- Liquid cleaning compositions of the present invention are as follows: Formula Parts, % of Active Ingredient Ingredient A-1 A-2 B-1 B-2 C-1 C-2 Sodium silicate solids, 2.4 ratio 2.50 2.50 2.50 2.50 2.50 Available chlorine (added as NaOCl) 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 KOH trim to pH shown below 0-2 0-2 0-2 0-2 0-2 0-2 Acetic acid, glacial 0 0 0 0 0.50 0.50 Polyacrylic acid (Sokalan PH25) 1.30 1.30 1.25 1.25 1.00 1.00 Benzoic acid (stabilizing agent) 0 0.50 0 0.50 0 0.50 Water -----------Balance to 100----------- Composition pH, measured as-is 12.0 12.0 11.0 11.0 10.3 10.3 Initial apparent viscosity, cps 1410 1070 1400 1220 4290 5680 Initial apparent yield value, dynes/cm2 72 88 108 88 * * *Note: The
- compositions are clear to translucent gels and are useful for hard surface cleaning and similar applications.
- the compositions containing benzoic acid as a rheology stabilizing agent are able to retain viscosity and yield value (80% of initial values or higher) for a longer time under stress storage than the compositions without the stabilizing agent.
- Benzoic acid and other rheology stabilizing agents of the invention result in a lower initial viscosity as indicated above, but the stabilization effect over time more than compensates for a lower initial viscosity.
