Definitions

  • Hard surface cleaning compositions are well known in the art. It is known to use various surfactants in these compositions, including ethoxylated nonionic surfactants. Ethoxylated nonionic surfactants which are typically used in such compositions are lower ethoxylates, i.e. with a degree of ethoxylation of 5 to 7.
  • compositions which can be used in diluted form are also known in the art.
  • the technical problem lies in sustaining upon dilution an efficient cleaning performance.
  • Such compositions for dilute cleaning are described for instance in copending European Patent Application EP 91870109.5.
  • the dilute cleaning performance is obtained by using alkanolamines.
  • hard surface cleaning compositions comprising said highly ethoxylated nonionic surfactant exhibit outstanding cleaning performance when used both neat and diluted.
  • This invention is also particularly useful as it allows to formulate compositions with reduced levels of other ingredients, which yet retain optimal cleaning performance, due to said highly ethoxylated nonionic surfactant; also, the user needs less product to achieve the same task. This advantage is particularly valuable in terms of environmental compatibility.
  • compositions comprising highly ethoxylated fatty alcohols are described in SU 595369 (abstract). These compositions are designed for the cleaning of metallic surfaces in weaving machines.
  • the present invention also encompasses a composition for the cleaning of hard surfaces comprising from 0.5 % to 30 % by weight of the total composition of a mixture comprising at least one anionic surfactant and at least one nonionic surfactant, characterized in that said nonionic surfactant is of the formula RO-(CH2CH2O) n H wherein R is a C8 to C22 alkyl chain or a C8 to C28 alkyl benzene chain, and n is an integer of from 10 to 65, or mixtures thereof.
  • the present invention also encompasses a method of cleaning hard surfaces wherein a composition comprising at least one nonionic surfactant of the formula RO-(CH2CH2O) n H wherein R is a C8 to C22 alkyl chain or a C8 to C28 alkyl benzene chain, and n is an integer of from 10 to 65, or mixtures thereof, is diluted in water and applied to said hard surface.
  • a composition comprising at least one nonionic surfactant of the formula RO-(CH2CH2O) n H wherein R is a C8 to C22 alkyl chain or a C8 to C28 alkyl benzene chain, and n is an integer of from 10 to 65, or mixtures thereof, is diluted in water and applied to said hard surface.
  • compositions according to the invention comprise, as an essential ingredient, a highly ethoxylated nonionic surfactant.
  • the highly ethoxylated nonionic surfactants to be used in the compositions according to the present invention are carefully selected, and belong to the group according to the formula RO-(CH2CH2O) n H, wherein R is a C8 to C22 alkyl chain or a C8 to C28 alkyl benzene chain, and n is an integer of from 10 to 65, or mixtures thereof. Indeed, it is unforeseeably only those ethoxylated alcohols with such a high degree of ethoxylation which allow to obtain the observed cleaning benefits in diluted form, especially on greasy soils.
  • a preferred highly ethoxylated alcohol for use herein is LUTENSOL R AO30 (R is a mixture of C13 and C15 alkyl chains, and n is 30). It is also possible to use mixtures of such highly ethoxylated nonionic surfactants, with different R groups and different ethoxylation degrees.
  • compositions according to the present invention may additionally comprise an anionic surfactant.
  • anionic surfactants including alkyl benzene sulfates and sulfonates, paraffin sulfonates, sulfonates of fatty acids and of fatty acid esters, all of which are suitable for use herein.
  • Said anionic surfactants can also be used in the form of their salts, including sodium, potassium, ammonium and triethanolammonium salts.
  • the preferred anionic surfactants for use in the compositions according to the present invention are paraffin sulfonates, preferably in the form of their sodium salt.
  • compositions according to the present invention comprise both said highly ethoxylated nonionic surfactant and said anionic surfactant, these are preferably present in a weight ratio of said anionic surfactant to said nonionic surfactant of from 0.2 to 5, more preferably 0.5 to 2.5.
  • a hard surface cleaning composition according to the present invention comprises from 0.5 % to 30 %, preferably from 1 % to 15 % by weight of the total composition of at least one nonionic surfactant of the formula RO-(CH2CH2O) n H wherein R is a C8 to C22 alkyl chain or a C8 to C28 alkyl benzene chain, and n is an integer of from 21 to 65, or mixtures thereof.
  • Preferred alkanolamines to be used according to the present invention include monoethanolamine, triethanolamine, aminoethylpropanediol, 2-aminomethyl propanol, and ethoxyethanolamine. Particularly preferred are monoethanolamine, triethanolamine and ethoxyethanolamine.
  • compositions according to the present invention may further comprise builders.
  • Suitable builders for use herein include nitrilotriacetates (NTA), polycarboxylates, citrates, water-soluble phosphates such as tripolyphosphate and sodium ortho-and pyro-phosphates, silicates, ethylene diamine tetraacetate (EDTA), amino-polyphosphonates (DEQUEST), ether carboxylate builders such as in EP-A-286 167, phosphates, iminodiacetic acid derivatives such as described in EP-A- 317 542, EP-262 112 and EP-A-399 133, and mixtures thereof.
  • NTA nitrilotriacetates
  • polycarboxylates such as tripolyphosphate and sodium ortho-and pyro-phosphates
  • silicates ethylene diamine tetraacetate (EDTA), amino-polyphosphonates (DEQUEST)
  • ether carboxylate builders such as in EP-A-286
  • Preferred builders/sequestrants for use herein are selected from Tetrapotassium pyrophosphate, citric acid and sodium carbonate.
  • the hard surface cleaning compositions according to the present invention may comprise up to 15% by weight of the total composition of a builder, preferably from 1% to 10%
  • Water-soluble CELLOSOLVE R solvents are compounds of the 2-alkoxyethoxy ethanol class, with 2-butoxyethoxyethanol being preferred.
  • Other suitable solvents include benzyl alcohol, and diols such as 2-ethyl-1, 3-hexanediol and 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol and mixtures thereof.
  • Preferred solvents for use herein are n-butoxypropoxypropanol, BUTYL CARBITOL R and mixtures thereof.
  • the compositions according to the present invention comprise up to 15 % by weight of the total composition of a solvent, preferably from 3% to 10%.
  • a hard surface cleaning composition comprising at least one nonionic surfactant of the formula RO-(CH2CH2O) n H wherein R is a C8 to C22 alkyl chain or a C8 to C28 alkyl benzene chain, and n is an integer of from 10 to 65, or mixtures thereof, is diluted in water and applied to said hard surface.
  • said composition further comprises an anionic surfactant as described hereinbefore.
  • said composition is diluted into 10 to 200 times its weight of water, more preferably 50 to 150 times, before it is applied to said hard surface.
