Definitions

  • This invention relates to granular or powder detergent compositions, and especially to those compositions intended for use in washing machines having a detergent- dispensing feature.
  • Granular or powder detergent compositions usually contain, in addition to detergent active materials or surfactants, a detergency builder which functions, among other things, to improve the detergency or cleaning level of the compositions, in comparison to unbuilt compositions.
  • a detergency builder which functions, among other things, to improve the detergency or cleaning level of the compositions, in comparison to unbuilt compositions.
  • conventional additives such as fabric softeners, whiteners, hydrotropes, bleaching agents, bleach activators, enzymes, soil anti-redeposition agents and the like can also be incorporated into granular detergents.
  • the powder when it solidifies, can form relatively large clumps which can eventually block the dispenser and/or the feed pipe from the dispenser to the washing compartment of the machine. This results in a wastage of detergent and a lower level of cleaning, or it requires that the user clean out the dispenser and/or feed line, preferably after each wash cycle.
  • the problem is more prevalent with higher density powders, particularly in non-phosphate, zeolite-containing products, at low wash temperatures, including cold-water washes, and at low water pressure and/or water flow rates; and is most extreme in formulas with a high ratio of nonionic, e.g., more than 90% nonionic with respect to ionic surfactant.
  • EP-A-360,330 discloses a process for the preparation of a detergent powder, which includes the steps of preparing an intermediate powder, and spraying onto the intermediate powder an intimate mixture of a C8 ⁇ 22 fatty acid and a liquid or liquifiable nonionic surfactant.
  • the final detergent powder is said to have a dynamic flow rate of at least 90 ml/s.
  • US-A-4 966 606 a method is proposed for improving dispensability of granular detergent compositions containing sodium carbonate and finely-divided calcite by providing detergent granules or particles which have a mean size of at least 500 ⁇ m, with less than two percent by weight of the particles having a size of less than 50 ⁇ m.
  • the '606 patent also references other proposals, including those of GB-A-212093 (addition of a siliconate to bentonite-containing powders) and EP-A-49920 (addition of hydrophobic material such as calcium stearate to phosphate/silicate granular dishwashing compositions).
  • a granular detergent composition comprises about 12.5 to about 60 percent by weight of at least one nonionic surfactant; from about 10 to about 85 weight percent of a granular base comprising at least one builder; said base granules being impregnated with an intimate mixture of at least a portion of said nonionic surfactant and from about 0.5 to about 5 weight percent of at least one fatty acid; and from about 0.5 to about 5 weight percent of at least one fatty alcohol; said base granules also being impregnated with the balance of any of said nonionic surfactant not intimately mixed with said fatty alcohol and said fatty acid.
  • a composition of matter for enhancing dispensability of granular detergent compositions by impregnating said granular detergent with said composition of matter comprises an intimate mixture of at least one nonionic surfactant, at least one fatty acid and at least one fatty alcohol, wherein the combined amount of said fatty acid and said fatty alcohol is in the range from about 3 to about 16 (preferably about 9 to about 12) weight percent, based on the weight of said nonionic surfactant and wherein the amount of fatty acid relative to fatty alcohol is in the range of about 0.7-1.2 (preferably about 0.9 to 1.05) parts by weight fatty acid per part by weight fatty alcohol.
  • a method for enhancing dispersability of granular detergent compositions which comprise at least one nonionic surfactant and at least one detergent builder comprises: contacting a granular detergent base composition comprising at least one builder with a liquified intimate mixture comprising at least one nonionic surfactant, at least one fatty acid and at least one fatty alcohol.
  • the present invention involves enhancing dispensability of high bulk density powder detergents by applying onto detergent granules an intimate mixture of a nonionic surfactant, a fatty acid and a fatty alcohol.
  • Detergent powders made with this technique contain high levels of surfactant, are almost totally nonionic, and have been found to completely dispense an 80-100 gram dosage in a European side-flush dispenser at 1.9 l (0.5 U.S. gallons) per minute flow rate, in less than two minutes, and more typically in 30-45 seconds.
  • the dispensing properties of a detergent powder are improved by the application of an intimate mixture of a fatty acid, fatty alcohol and a liquid or liquifiable nonionic surfactant into and onto the detergent base powder, prior to the dry-dosing and/or spraying of other components.
  • the detergent base powder is contacted with a portion of the liquid or liquifiable nonionic surfactant followed by the application of the remainder of the nonionic surfactant, the fatty acid and the fatty alcohol. It is believed that this most preferred embodiment tends to leave the fatty acid and fatty alcohol components concentrated to a greater degree at the base particle surface.
  • the base detergent powders which are suitable for treating in accordance with the present invention can be prepared by substantially any method known in the art.
  • some detergent powders are prepared by spray drying an aqueous slurry of heat-insensitive and mutually compatible ingredients to form a spray-dried granular product, normally referred to as the "base powder.”
  • Other desired ingredients that are not to be incorporated via the slurry because of heat sensitivity or incompatibility with other slurry ingredients are then dry-mixed or sprayed onto the base powder.
  • Such base detergent powders can also be prepared by straightforward blending of the ingredients in the presence of less than about 5% water, or by mixing in the substantial absence of water but in the presence of non-aqueous liquid or liquifiable materials, including detergent active materials, such as nonionic surfactants.
  • the base powder which forms from this simplified technique can then be post-dosed with other dry or liquid materials to provide base detergent granules which are then treated with the mixture of fatty acid, fatty alcohol and nonionic surfactant, in accordance with the precepts of the invention.
  • the principal ingredients of the high density, free-flowing, easily-dispensed granular laundry detergent powder of the invention include at least one nonionic surfactant, at least one builder, at least one fatty alcohol, at least one fatty acid and, optionally, other additives conventionally employed in granular detergent compositions.

  • the invention is particularly useful when the detergency builder materials comprise insoluble sodium aluminosilicates, especially those having a calcium ionic exchange capacity of at least 200 milligrams equivalent per gram and a calcium ion exchange rate of at least 0.53 grams per litre per minute per gram (2 grams per gallon per minute per gram).

  • Fatty alcohols which can be employed in the practice of the invention include substantially any of the known fatty alcohols having from about 8 to 22 carbon atoms with fatty alcohols having from 14 to 18 carbon atoms being preferred.
