Abstract
Description
La présente invention appartient au domaine des détergents tensioactifs et concerne plus particulièrement des agents hydrotropes destinés à permettre la formulation en concentration élevée des détergents.The present invention belongs to the field of surfactant detergents and relates more particularly to hydrotropic agents intended to allow the formulation in high concentration of detergents.
On entend, selon l'invention, par tensioactivité, la propriété d'un produit en solution d'abaisser la tension interfaciale associée à une augmentation de la concentration du produit à l'interface.According to the invention, the term “tensioactivity” means the property of a product in solution of lowering the interfacial tension associated with an increase in the concentration of the product at the interface.
Par hydrotropie, on entend la propriété d'un produit d'augmenter la solubilité d'une substance dans l'eau, sans pour autant que ce produit soit un solvant en soi. Cette propriété sera particulièrement exploitée dans l'invention, pour solubiliser dans l'eau des concentrations fortes de détergents tensioactifs.By hydrotropy is meant the property of a product to increase the solubility of a substance in water, without this product being a solvent in itself. This property will be particularly exploited in the invention, to dissolve in water high concentrations of surfactant detergents.
Un agent hydrotrope peut en outre posséder des propriétés tensioactives.A hydrotropic agent can also have surfactant properties.
Aujourd'hui, les préparations à base d'agents de surface, notamment des détergents tensioactifs, sont avantageusement formulées en quantités concentrées et ceci pour l'ensemble de leurs applications, industrielles et destinées à la grande consommation, telles que les détergents pour fibres, les détergents pour surface dure, les produits d'entretien divers, les cosmétiques, les produits du travail des métaux...Today, preparations based on surfactants, in particular surface-active detergents, are advantageously formulated in concentrated quantities and this for all of their industrial and consumer-oriented applications, such as fiber detergents, hard surface detergents, various cleaning products, cosmetics, metalworking products ...
En effet, bien qu'étant plus complexes à préparer pour le fabricant, les formulations concentrées d'agents de surface sont avantageuses pour l'utilisateur, car elles sont plus économiques, moins encombrantes, moins lourdes à transporter. Ceci concerne aussi bien les préparations liquides, qu'elles soient monophasiques ou polyphasiques, que les préparations solides généralement préparées à partir de préparations liquides polyphasiques très concentrées.Indeed, although being more complex to prepare for the manufacturer, the concentrated formulations of surfactants are advantageous for the user, because they are more economical, less bulky, less heavy to transport. This concerns both liquid preparations, whether they are monophasic or multiphase, as well as solid preparations generally prepared from highly concentrated multiphase liquid preparations.
Pour obtenir de telles préparations liquides, le formulateur a, à sa disposition, un certain nombre d'adjuvants parmi lesquels se trouvent les agents dispersants stabilisants, et les agents solubilisants ou hydrotropes.To obtain such liquid preparations, the formulator has at its disposal a certain number adjuvants among which are found the stabilizing dispersing agents, and the solubilizing or hydrotropic agents.
Un bon agent hydrotrope doit non seulement solubiliser le détergent dans l'eau quand il s'y trouve en concentrations élevées, mais il doit en outre stabiliser la formulation obtenue, et ceci à des températures assez basses, lorsque l'utilisation faite le nécessite.A good hydrotropic agent must not only dissolve the detergent in water when it is present in high concentrations, but it must also stabilize the formulation obtained, and this at fairly low temperatures, when the use makes it necessary.
En plus de leur caractère hydrotrope, les agents solubilisants doivent satisfaire à des normes réglementaires concernant leur toxicité et leur biodégradabilité, ainsi qu'aux souhaits des utilisateurs concernant notamment l'impact de ces agents sur l'environnement. Ainsi, ces agents doivent être peu ou non nocifs pour l'homme et l'environnement, non bioaccumulables, biodégradables, non volatils et ne doivent pas libérer de sous-produits résistants.In addition to their hydrotropic nature, the solubilizing agents must meet regulatory standards regarding their toxicity and biodegradability, as well as the wishes of users, in particular concerning the impact of these agents on the environment. Thus, these agents must be little or not harmful to humans and the environment, not bioaccumulative, biodegradable, non-volatile and must not release resistant by-products.
Parmi les agents hydrotropes utilisés couramment, on rencontre les solvants du type alcool, les arylsulfonates de faible poids moléculaire, tels que les benzène-sulfonates, les toluène-sulfonates, les xylènesulfonates, les cumènes-sulfonates, ainsi que les alcoolsulfates à chaîne carbonée courte, de préférence à 8 atomes de carbone.Among the hydrotropic agents commonly used, there are solvents of the alcohol type, low molecular weight arylsulfonates, such as benzene sulfonates, toluene sulfonates, xylenesulfonates, cumenesulfonates, as well as short carbon chain alcohols , preferably 8 carbon atoms.
Tous ces agents hydrotropes présentent des inconvénients.All of these hydrotropic agents have drawbacks.
Les solvants alcooliques sont pour la plupart volatils et entrent dans la catégorie des VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) susceptibles du fait de leur volatilité de participer à la réduction de la teneur en ozone et à l'effet de serre. Ils sont au surplus facilement inflammables.Alcoholic solvents are mostly volatile and fall into the category of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compound) which, due to their volatility, can contribute to the reduction of the ozone content and to the greenhouse effect. They are also easily flammable.
Les aryl-sulfonates, en raison de la présence de noyaux aromatiques dans leur structure, sont supposés conduire à des sous-produits relativement persistants et nocifs pour l'environnement aquatique. Enfin les alcool-sulfates sont facilement hydrolysables et donc d'un emploi plus limité.Aryl sulfonates, due to the presence of aromatic nuclei in their structure, are believed to lead to relatively persistent by-products that are harmful to the aquatic environment. Finally the alcohol sulfates are easily hydrolyzable and therefore of more limited use.
Selon le document FR-A-2 148 120, il est décrit l'utilisation d'alkyl-sulfonates monosulfonatés, ayant soit 7, soit 8 atomes de carbone, à titre d'agent hydrotrope, susceptibles d'être incorporés dans des compositions détergentes. Le caractère hydrotrope de tels agents n'est plus toujours suffisant pour les préparations détergentes actuellement commercialisées, très concentrées en agent détergent tensioactif.According to document FR-A-2 148 120, the use of monosulfonated alkyl sulfonates, having either 7 or 8 carbon atoms, as hydrotropic agent, which can be incorporated into detergent compositions, is described. . The hydrotropic nature of such agents is no longer always sufficient for the detergent preparations currently marketed, which are very concentrated in surfactant detergent agent.
De plus, de tels agents sont présentés préférentiellement sous forme liquide, ce qui nécessite une dilution importante pour leur mise en oeuvre, ce qui est pénalisant au plan économique.In addition, such agents are preferably presented in liquid form, which requires a significant dilution for their implementation, which is disadvantageous economically.
L'objet de la présente invention est un agent hydrotrope qui d'une part possède une bonne solubilité dans l'eau et une excellente hydrotropie, mais qui d'autre part est non volatil et totalement biodégradable.The object of the present invention is a hydrotropic agent which on the one hand has good water solubility and excellent hydrotropy, but which on the other hand is non-volatile and completely biodegradable.
Cet agent hydrotrope qui exerce notamment son effet sur les composés tensioactifs détergents, qu'ils soient anioniques, non ioniques ou amphotères, possède au surplus des propriétés tensioactives qui viennent compléter celles du composé tensioactif solubilisé, ce qui d'un point de vue économique n'est pas négligeable.This hydrotropic agent which exerts in particular its effect on detergent surfactant compounds, whether they are anionic, nonionic or amphoteric, has in addition surfactant properties which complement those of the solubilized surfactant compound, which from an economic point of view n is not negligible.
Selon l'invention, l'agent hydrotrope comprend, d'une part une fraction majoritaire pondérale d'au moins un alkyl-sulfonate mono-sulfonaté, ayant de 6 à 10 atomes de carbone, et une fraction minoritaire d'au moins un alkyl-sulfonate, différent de celui de la fraction majoritaire, et/ou d'au moins un alkylène-sulfonate, ayant de 4 à 12 atomes de carbone, mono- ou poly- sulfonaté, et éventuellement substitué par au moins un autre groupement fonctionnel différent du groupement sulfonate.According to the invention, the hydrotropic agent comprises, on the one hand a majority fraction by weight of at least one mono-sulfonated alkyl sulfonate, having from 6 to 10 carbon atoms, and a minority fraction of at least one alkyl -sulfonate, different from that of the majority fraction, and / or at least one alkylene sulfonate, having from 4 to 12 carbon atoms, mono- or poly-sulfonate, and optionally substituted by at least one other different functional group of the sulfonate group.
Selon un agent hydrotrope particulier de l'invention, la fraction minoritaire comprend plusieurs alkyl-sulfonates et/ou alkylène-sulfonates.According to a particular hydrotropic agent of the invention, the minority fraction comprises several alkyl sulfonates and / or alkylene sulfonates.
Les concentrations pondérales respectives des deux fractions, minoritaire et majoritaire, par rapport au poids total de l'agent dépendent du nombre de constituants de l'agent hydrotrope. Mais la concentration pondérale de la fraction majoritaire est toujours supérieure à celle du constituant de la fraction minoritaire, ayant la concentration la plus importante.The respective weight concentrations of the two fractions, minority and majority, relative to the total weight of the agent depend on the number of constituents of the hydrotropic agent. However, the weight concentration of the majority fraction is always higher than that of the constituent of the minority fraction, having the highest concentration.
Préférentiellement selon l'invention, au moins un alkyl-sulfonate de la fraction majoritaire est choisi parmi les alkyl-1-sulfonates et plus avantageusement au moins un alkyl-sulfonate de ladite fraction est l'octyl-1-sulfonate.Preferably according to the invention, at least one alkyl sulfonate of the majority fraction is chosen from alkyl-1-sulfonates and more advantageously at least one alkyl sulfonate of said fraction is octyl-1-sulfonate.
Quand l'alkyl-sulfonate et/ou l'alkylène-sulfonate mono- ou poly-sulfonaté de la fraction minoritaire est substituté par au moins un autre groupement fonctionnel différent du groupement sulfonate, ledit groupement est notamment choisi parmi les groupements hydroxyle et sulfinate.When the alkyl-sulfonate and / or the mono- or poly-sulfonate alkylene sulfonate of the minority fraction is substituted by at least one other functional group different from the sulfonate group, said group is chosen in particular from hydroxyl and sulfinate groups.
Les agents hydrotropes répondant à la définition de la présente invention possèdent un pouvoir solubilisant souvent supérieur à celui des arylsulfonates couramment utilisés aujourd'hui, et permettent donc d'accéder à de nouvelles présentations de compositions détergentes encore plus concentrées.The hydrotropic agents meeting the definition of the present invention have a solubilizing power often greater than that of the arylsulfonates commonly used today, and therefore allow access to new presentations of even more concentrated detergent compositions.
Par rapport aux agents hydrotropes décrits selon FR-A-2 148 120 mentionné précédemment dans la description, les agents hydrotropes de l'invention, obtenus par le mélange spécifique décrit ci-dessus, ont, dans les mêmes conditions, une plus grande solubilité, une présentation commerciale plus aisée, ou plus concentrée, pour une tenue au froid identique, donc plus économique, et confèrent une meilleure stabilité des préparations résultantes, à faible température.Compared to the hydrotropic agents described according to FR-A-2 148 120 mentioned previously in the description, the hydrotropic agents of the invention, obtained by the specific mixture described above, have, under the same conditions, greater solubility, an easier, or more concentrated, commercial presentation for an identical cold resistance, therefore more economical, and confer better stability of the resulting preparations, at low temperature.
Un autre objet de l'invention est une composition détergente comprenant un composé tensioactif et un agent hydrotrope dudit agent tensioactif, conformément à l'invention.Another subject of the invention is a detergent composition comprising a surfactant compound and an agent hydrotropic of said surfactant, in accordance with the invention.
En outre, les agents hydrotropes de l'invention confèrent aux compositions les contenant une meilleure résistance à la cristallisation, sous l'effet de l'abaissement de la température, et possèdent un faible pouvoir moussant, ce qui en permet une manipulation aisée.In addition, the hydrotropic agents of the invention give the compositions containing them a better resistance to crystallization, under the effect of the lowering of the temperature, and have a low foaming power, which allows their easy handling.
Au surplus, ces agents présentent une bonne résistance à l'hydrolyse, dans une large zone de pH, et une bonne résistance vis-à-vis des produits oxydants comme les hypochlorites par exemple.In addition, these agents have good resistance to hydrolysis, in a wide pH range, and good resistance to oxidizing products such as hypochlorites for example.
Les caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention sont à présent illustrés par les Exemples 1 à 4 suivants, dans lesquels les Exemples 1 à 3 illustrent des procédés d'obtention d'agents hydrotropes de l'invention et l'Exemple 4 illustre des compositions de l'invention.The characteristics and advantages of the present invention are now illustrated by the following Examples 1 to 4, in which Examples 1 to 3 illustrate methods for obtaining hydrotropic agents of the invention and Example 4 illustrates compositions of the invention.

On traite si nécessaire par H₂O₂ 130 volumes afin que la teneur en sulfite de sodium soit inférieure à 0,1%.If necessary, H traiteO₂ is treated with 130 volumes so that the sodium sulfite content is less than 0.1%.
Environ 100 g de produit 2 sont finalement obtenus et qui contiennent au minimum 25% en poids d'alkyl(C₆ ou C₈)-1-sulfonate et de 5 à 10% en poids d'alkyl(C₆ ou C₈)-disulfonate, la fraction majoritaire n'étant constituée que par l'octyl-1-sulfonate.About 100 g of product 2 are finally obtained and which contain at least 25% by weight of alkyl (C₆ or C₈) -1-sulfonate and from 5 to 10% by weight of alkyl (C₆ or C₈) -disulfonate, majority fraction consisting only of octyl-1-sulfonate.
Dans un premier réacteur pouvant travailler sous une pression de 2 à 3 bars, on place 1073 g d'α-oléfine en C₆, 605 g d'isopropranol, 418 g d'eau et 55 g de tertio-butyl-perbenzoate.In a first reactor capable of working under a pressure of 2 to 3 bars, 1073 g of C₆ α-olefin, 605 g of isopropranol, 418 g of water and 55 g of tert-butyl-perbenzoate are placed.
On chauffe sous agitation en maintenant à reflux à 55°C.The mixture is heated with stirring while maintaining at reflux at 55 ° C.
Dans un second réacteur, on place 1016 g d'eau et on introduit sous agitation 577 g de métabisulfite de sodium, puis 157 g de lessive de soude à 30%.In a second reactor, 1016 g of water are placed and 577 g of sodium metabisulfite are introduced with stirring, then 157 g of 30% sodium hydroxide solution.
Après dissolution, on maintient un léger bullage d'azote dans cette solution dénommée B.After dissolution, a slight bubbling of nitrogen is maintained in this solution called B.
Après les 30 minutes de reflux, on introduit 5% en poids de la solution B dans le premier réacteur et on porte la température à 75-80°C (donc sous pression) jusqu'à ce que le pH remonte vers 8 tout en maintenant ce dernier entre 7 et 8.After the 30 minutes of reflux, 5% by weight of solution B are introduced into the first reactor and the temperature is brought to 75-80 ° C (therefore under pressure) until the pH rises to 8 while maintaining the latter between 7 and 8.
Si le pH devient inférieur ou égal à 7, on arrête l'introduction de la solution B.If the pH becomes less than or equal to 7, the introduction of solution B is stopped.
Si le pH devient supérieur ou égal à 8, on accélère l'introduction de la solution B.If the pH becomes greater than or equal to 8, the introduction of solution B is accelerated.
Après la fin de l'introduction de la solution B (durée 6 à 8 heures) on laisse le mélange réactionnel pendant une heure à la même température.After the end of the introduction of solution B (duration 6 to 8 hours), the reaction mixture is left for one hour at the same temperature.
On introduit alors l'anhydride sulfureux le plus lentement possible et on stabilise le pH vers 5,5-6.The sulfur dioxide is then introduced as slowly as possible and the pH is stabilized around 5.5-6.
On distille ensuite à pression atmosphérique avec un léger courant, et on arrête la distillation lorsque la teneur en isopropanol dans le produit est inférieure à 4%, voire plus basse selon le point éclair recherché.It is then distilled at atmospheric pressure with a slight current, and the distillation is stopped when the isopropanol content in the product is less than 4%, or even lower depending on the desired flash point.
La matière sèche déterminée à 43% (par la technique classique de mesure, 3 g pendant 6 heures à 105°C) est ajustée par ajout d'eau.The dry matter determined at 43% (by the conventional measurement technique, 3 g for 6 hours at 105 ° C) is adjusted by adding water.
On traite par H₂O₂ 130 volumes afin que la teneur en sulfite de sodium soit inférieure à 0,1%.H traiteO₂ is treated with 130 volumes so that the sodium sulfite content is less than 0.1%.
Environ 4245 g de produit 3 sont finalement obtenus qui contiennent au minimum 25% en poids d'octyl-1-sulfonate constituant la fraction majoritaire, et de 5 à 10% en poids d'hexyl-disulfonate de sodium.About 4245 g of product 3 are finally obtained which contain at least 25% by weight of octyl-1-sulfonate constituting the majority fraction, and from 5 to 10% by weight of sodium hexyl-disulfonate.
Le produit 2 obtenu selon le procédé décrit dans l'Exemple 2 peut être préparé par mélange des produits 1 et 3.Product 2 obtained according to the process described in Example 2 can be prepared by mixing products 1 and 3 .
Les produits 1, 2, 3 ont, tels qu'obtenus dans les Exemples 1, 2 et 3, c'est-à-dire dans l'eau, une température de cristallisation acceptable pour un utilisateur, c'est-à-dire qu'ils sont liquides à 20°C et sont parfaitement homogènes à partir de :
- environ 17°C pour le produit 1,
- environ 7°C pour le produit 2 obtenu par le mélange 70/30 en poids des produits 1 et 3,
- environ 5°C pour le produit 3.
- around 17 ° C for product 1 ,
- around 7 ° C for product 2 obtained by the 70/30 mixture by weight of products 1 and 3 ,
- about 5 ° C for product 3 .
