Definitions

  • This invention relates to hypochlorite-based aqueous liquid bleaching compositions.
  • hypochlorite bleach It is well known to include both hypochlorite bleach and surfactant in the same compositions.
  • alkyl ether sulphate and/or soap in surfactants present enhances the ability of the composition to dissolve perfume.
  • the incorporation of perfume is generally desired for compositions intended for domestic use.
  • incorporation of some alkyl ether sulphate can improve the ability of the composition to remove a number of stains.
  • a perfumed aqueous liquid solution of alkali metal hypochlorite also containing a surfactant mixture comprising
  • alkali metal hypochlorite solution contains varying amounts of sodium chloride. We prefer to use hypochlorite solution which has a fairly low content of sodium chloride. We have then found it possible to prepare compositions which contain a substantial proportion of surfactant.
  • compositions of the invention are devoid of hydrotropes such as urea, alcohols with up to four carbon atoms, or short chain alkylaryl sulphonates, e.g.
  • the proportion by weight of it may be less than the amount of surfactants (other than amine oxide, if any) present, better less than half the amount of surfactants other than amine oxide. In any case, it is desirable to exclude urea and primary or secondary alcohols because these are not stable in the presence of hypochlorite.
  • the alkane sulphonate used in this invention has the formula: R - SO3M where R is an alkyl group of 8 to 22.
  • R has 12 to 22, carbon atoms and the solubilising cation M is preferably alkali metal.
  • R is a secondary alkyl group. It may be branched but preferably is unbranched.
  • the amount of the alkane sulphonate lies in the range from 1 to 10% by weight of the composition.
  • the amount may possibly be not more than 8%, e.g. 2% to 6%.
  • Alkyl ether sulphate useful in this invention has the formula: R1 - (OC2H4) n OSO3M where M is a solubilising cation, especially alkali metal, R1 is an alkyl group of 8 to 20, preferably 10 to 16, carbon atoms and n has an average value in the range from 0.5 to 12, better 1 to 6, even better 2 to 5. R1 may be primary or secondary, and preferably is unbranched.
  • Soap useful in this invention has the formula: R2CO2M where M is a solubilising cation, especially alkali metal and R2 is an alkyl group of 7 to 19, preferably 9 to 15, carbon atoms. Olefinic unsaturation should desirably be absent, for the sake of stability in the presence of hypochlorite.
  • the total amount of soap and alkyl ether sulphate lies in the range from 0.1, preferably 0.2, to 4% by weight of the composition. If alkyl ether sulphate is present, the amount will generally be at least 0.1% by weight. Similarly, if soap is present, the amount will generally be at least 0.1%.
  • the weight ratio of alkane sulphonate to the total of alkyl ether sulphate and soap is preferably from 1:1 to 10:1 better 2:1 to 6:1.
  • R, R1 and R2 can, but do not need to be, the same, but preferably R1 and R2CO2 both have an average carbon chain length of 10 to 16 carbon atoms and may be predominantly of 12 carbon length.
  • hypochlorite is desirably included in a quantity to provide from 0.1 to 8%, better 0.5 to 3% or 5% of available chlorine, by weight based on the whole composition. It is desirable to use hypochlorite in which the amount of available chlorine is at least twice the amount of any sodium chloride present.
  • One supplier of suitable hypochlorite is Tahn and Mulhouse.
  • the composition will generally be alkaline.
  • alkali metal hydroxide may be included in a quantity between 0.1 and 1.5% by weight of the composition.
  • the amount of perfume dissolved in the composition, made soluble by the presence of alkyl ether sulphate and/or soap may lie in the range from 0.1 to 1.0% by weight of the composition.
  • the amount of perfume is up to 0.6 or 0.7%.
  • a preferred composition according to this invention may have constituents and quantities as set out below.
  • alkali metal silicate a constituent that is possible. Notable is 0.1 to 0.5% of alkali metal silicate.
  • the pH of the composition is, suitably, greater than 11. This will give a lesser alkaline pH on dilution, especially when dilution is with hard tap water.
  • compositions were prepared using the following constituents: Secondary alkane sulphonate (SAS) with average 16-18 carbon atoms Linear alkyl ether sulphate (LES) in which the alkyl group has average 12-13 carbon atoms and the average degree of ethoxylation is 3 Lauric soap Sodium hydroxide Perfume
  • compositions were made up in distilled water. All compositions contained sufficient hypochlorite to yield 1% available chlorine. It was noted whether the compositions were cloudy or clear. Compositions and results are set out in the following Tables 1 and 2:
  • compositions 2, 3 and 4 show that increasing the amount of SAS from 2.0 to 2.8% was not sufficient to render the perfume soluble but addition of 0.26% soap did bring about solution of the perfume.
  • Composition 12 shows that addition of 0.26% LES also brought about solution of the perfume.
  • Compositions 5, 6 and 7 show the same effect at higher concentrations. Increasing the SAS level to 2.0 to 3.9% was not enough to bring about solution of 0.3% perfume but addition of 0.58% soap did cause the perfume to dissolve.
  • compositions 8 and 9 show that increasing the level of SAS to 5% was not enough to bring about the solution of perfume. Comparison also with compositions 10 and 11 shows that addition of 0.5% LES or 0.5% soap did dissolve the perfume.
  • compositions were prepared using the same constituents as in Example 1, although in addition all compositions included 0.2% sodium silicate. Compositions and results are set out in the following Table 3.
  • compositions 15, 16, 18 and 20 demonstrate that soap and LES can be used together to bring about the solubilisation of perfume.
  • compositions were prepared using the same materials as in Example 1, without sodium silicate, and with the amounts of the materials as set out in the following Table 4.
  • compositions were prepared in distilled water using the same materials as in Example 1 without sodium silicate, and with the amounts of the materials as set out in the following Table 5.
  • compositions were used to remove various stains by a standard procedure. 1 ml of the composition was applied to a plastic tile bearing the stain. The tile was rubbed with the composition 200 times, using a machine to rub the tile. Each composition was used to clean three tiles bearing each stain. After the tiles had been cleaned in this way the effectiveness of cleaning was assessed by a panel of five evaluators whose assessments were averaged.
  • Composition D was found to be more effective than C on stains which were oil, two types of glue, vegetable fat and red pencil.
  • compositions of Example 2 were diluted with distilled water and used to wash a plastic tile. This was allowed to dry and the presence of streaks on the tile was assessed by the panel of evaluators.
  • the amounts of composition diluted to one litre with water were 20, 25 and 50 grams. At each dilution composition D gave less streaking than composition C.
