Definitions

• This invention relates to aqueous liquid detergent compositions containing alkyl benzene sulfonate and added detergent boosting levels of magnesium ions.
• Light-duty liquid detergent compositions such as those suitable for use in washing dishes, are well known. Performance of such compositions is a measurement of both foam mileage, i.e. number of dishes washed, and grease cutting ability.
• the liquid dishwashing detergent compositions presently on the market are designed to remove oily/greasy soils from glasses, dishes, and other tableware and kitchen utensils while maintaining an acceptable layer of suds.
• Liquid detergent formulations containing magnesium salts and magnesium surfactants show enhanced performance, as is disclosed in U.S. Patents 2,908,651 and 2,437,253. Certain combinations of active ingredients can also provide a range of enhanced detergent properties.
• An enhanced performance liquid detergent composition disclosed in U.S.
• Patent 4,435,317 contains (a) a C 10 -C 16 alkyl sulfate, (b) a C 10 -C 16 alkyl ethoxy sulfate and (c) a linear C 10 -C 16 alkyl benzene sulfonate in a ratio of the total weight of (a) + (b) to the weight of (c) of less than or equal to 33:1, and containing magnesium in a molar amount corresponding to 0.20x-0.70x where x is the number of moles of alkyl sulfate.
• the amount of magnesium salts that can be added to the compositions disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,435,317 is limited because the salts raise temperature at which inorganic salt crystals form in the compositions upon cooling.
• FR-A-2,588,013 describes a composition (comprising a C 9-15 alkylbenzene sulfonate of monoisopropanolamine, monoethanolamine, or of potassium; magnesium sulfate; sodium alkylether sulfate; ethanol and the balance; water.
• This composition is suitable to form aqueous viscous dilutions upon dilution, so that not too much liquid detergent is used in dishwashing.
• JP-A-54-24906 shows a composition comprising 10-30% by weight of a mixture of magnesium salts of linear alkylbenzene sulfonates and magnesium salts of alkylpolyoxyethylene ether sulfuric acid esters; the ratio of both types of magnesium salts varying between 4:1 and 1:1; and to 100 weight parts of a solution containing 5-25 weight parts polyethylene glycol having a polymerisation degree of 4-50.
• This composition aims to avoid the formation of films and water spots on tableware.
• hydrotropes are fairly expensive and are generally inactive materials and thus do not contribute to detergency but have the effect of rendering the active ingredients water soluble and the composition homogeneous at those temperatures normally encountered in transport and storage. Hydrotropes generally lower the "cloud point" of liquid detergent compositions, thus maintaining a clear liquid composition at temperatures at which a detergent composition lacking hydrotrope would become cloudy and unattractive in appearance.
• Patent 4,235,758 discloses that the use of a magnesium alkylbenzene sulfonate derived from a linear C 10 -C 13 alkylbenzene of average molecular weight of 220-250 significantly reduces the requirement for hydrotrope at any level of active detergent material.
• compositions comprised of certain specific detergent active ingredients, in unique combinations and proportions, which are unexpectedly capable of superior performance to other liquid detergents in relation to both foam mileage and grease cutting.
• Still another object of this invention is to provide a concentrated detergent base composition containing detergency boosting levels of magnesium ions and alkyl benzene sulfonate which may be stored as a concentrated liquid base composition and which may be manufactured using conventional low shear liquid mixing equipment.
• an aqueous liquid detergent composition especially suitable for use in dishwashing, and containing

• the first essential surfactant ingredient is a water-soluble salt of alkylbenzene sulfonic acid, which may be linear or branched.
• the alkyl group preferably contains from 10 to 18 carbon atoms, most preferably from 11 to 13, especially 12 carbon atoms, preferably in a linear chain configuration.
• the alkyl benzene sulfonate may be present as an alkali metal, amine, ammonium, or alkaline earth metal salt, preferably the magnesium salt.
• the most preferred alkylbenzene sulfonate is magnesium salt of linear dodecylbenzene sulfonate.
• the acid form of alkylbenzene sulfonic acid can be converted to the magnesium salt form either prior to admixture with the other detersive ingredients or thereafter.
• the conversion may be accomplished either by direct neutralization with magnesium oxide or hydroxide or by ion exchange between, for example, an alkali metal salt or the ammonium salt of alkylbenzene sulfonate and a water-soluble alkaline earth metal salt.
• a source of magnesium ions is added to the detergent mixture to form the desired salt of alkylbenzene sulfonate.
• Magnesium chlorides, magnesium sulfates, magnesium acetates or magnesium hydroxides are examples of magnesium sources.
• the preferred magnesium sources are magnesium oxides or hydroxides and sulfates.
• the alkylbenzene sulfonate component is present at a level of from 15 to 35% by weight of the composition, preferably in the range from 15 to 22%, most preferably in the range from 19 to 21% by weight.
• the point of attachment of the alkyl chain to the benzene nucleus referred to as the phenyl isomer distribution, is not critical but, preferably, less than 20% of the alkyl benzene of this invention comprises the 2-phenyl isomer.
• a second essential surfactant component of the present composition is a primary alkyl ethoxy sulfate derived from the condensation product of a C 10 -C 16 alcohol with an average of from 1 to 6 ethylene oxide groups, preferably 2 to 4, especially 3 ethylene oxide groups per mole of alcohol.
• the C 10 -C 16 alcohols may be derived, for example, from natural fats or Ziegler olefin build-up or Oxo synthesis. It is preferable to use alkyl ethoxy sulfates and alkyl sulfates of the same carbon chain length, preferably C 12 -C 13 .
• the level of alkyl ethoxy sulfate in the present composition to achieve the desired foam and detersive properties is 1-30% by weight, preferably the range from 10-20% by weight, based on the total composition.
• the surfactant system of the detergent of the present invention may optionally also include an amount ranging from 0-20% of the total composition, preferably 10-15% by weight, of an alkali metal or ammonium or amine salt of a linear or branched C 10 -C 18 alkyl sulfate anionic surfactant.
• the cationic counterion of the alkyl sulfate may be taken from the group consisting of alkali metals, ammonia and amines, e.g., triethylammonium, triethanolamine (TEA), diethanolamine or monoethanolamine, etc.
• the alkali metal may be, for example, sodium or potassium, preferably sodium.
• the composition of the present invention contains from 0.027 to 0.064 moles of total magnesium ion. Generally, 0.023 to 0.053 moles of magnesium ion are provided through the incorporation of the magnesium alkylbenzene sulfonate. Additional magnesium is added to the composition in the form of a water-soluble compound, most preferably a salt, such as, for example, magnesium sulfate or magnesium chloride.
• the preferred magnesium source is magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, added to the composition at from 1 or 2 to 5% weight, preferably from 2.5 to to 3.5% by weight, corresponding to 0.01 to 0.014 moles of added magnesium.

• the additional magnesium ions added in salt form provide improved grease cutting performance and also lower the cloud point of the formula better than the more expensive hydrotropes.
• the additional magnesium salt also provides better phase stability to the composition.
• Using magnesium to boost detergency is known in the art, however, when used in a molar ratio of total magnesium ion to alkylbenzene sulfonate in a range of 0.65:1.0 to 0.8:1.0, the excess magnesium salt not only enhances foam mileage but also increases fluidity, allowing for a decrease in hydrotrope and alcohol levels, thus lowering the concentration of inactive ingredients that do not boost detergency of the composition. This decrease in the level of inactive ingredients leaves room in the composition for an even higher level of detersive active ingredients.
• the level of detersive active ingredients in the compositions of this invention is in the range from 20-70% by weight, preferably from 30 to 55%. This increased level of active ingredients results in enhanced foam mileage, thus providing a superior light duty liquid detergent.
• the usual problems of increased viscosity, decreased stability and product clouding is avoided by using an increased level of magnesium ions in a molar ratio of magnesium ions to alkylbenzene sulfonate in the range of 0.65:1.0 to 1.0:1.0, preferably from to 0.8:1.0 and none or only a low concentration of hydrotrope.
• the additional magnesium ions in the compositions of this invention also boosts detergency of the surfactant system.
• a suds promoting agent such as, for example, a mono- or di-alkanolamide, may, therefore, be added to the present composition at a level of from 0.5 to 8% by weight, preferably 1 to 6% and, more preferably 1 to 5% by weight.
• the preferred suds promoting agent is a mixture of lauric and myristic monoethanolamides.
