- EP 30 401 discloses thickened bleaching compositions comprising hypochlorite and a certain number of product characteristics including pH and viscosity. Mixtures of Cg-C-jg amine oxides and fatty acids are preferred as thickening agents. There is no mention of short chain surfactants. Summary of the Invention
- compositions of the present invention comprise aqueous compositions having a viscosity of from 50 cps to 2000 cps comprising a mixture of long chain amine oxides according to the formula R 1 R 2 R 3 NO nerein R 2 and R 3 are independently C1-C3 alkyl groups, and a short chain surfactant.
- Said short chain surfactant comprises a hydrophobic portion and a hydrophilic portion, wherein the chain length of said hydrophobic portion is Cg-C-jn-
- Said mixture of long chain amine oxides comprises a first amine oxide wherein R-j is a C14 alkyl group and a second amine oxide wherein R-
- the ratio of said first amine oxide to said second amine oxide wherein R ⁇ is a C ⁇ j 2 alkyl group is from 0.3 to 10
- the ratio of said first amine oxide to said second amine oxide wherein R ⁇ j is a C-15 alkyl group is from 0.2 to 4.5.
- the present invention further encompasses a process of treating dishes, wherein said dishes are contacted with a composition according to the present invention.
- the liquid detergent composition according to the present invention comprises a mixture long chain amine oxides and a short chain surfactant.
- compositions according to the present invention comprise at least one short chain surfactant, or mixtures thereof. All surfactants have in common that they comprise a hydrophobic portion and a hydrophilic portion.
- short chain surfactant it is meant herein surfactants which comprise a Cg-C ⁇ j Q alkyl chain as their hydrophobic portion.
- Such short chain surfactants are accordingly those conventionally used in this field, but with a shorter alkyl chain, and can be of any type.
- suitable short chain surfactants for use herein include Cg-C ⁇ g alkyl sulphates (Cg- C 10 SO 4 ), alkyl ether sulphates (C 6 -C ⁇ o(OCH 2 CH2)eS ⁇ 4), alkyl sulphonates (C 6 -C 0 SO 3 ), alkyl succinates alkyl carboxylates (Cg-C- j gCOOM), alkyl ether carboxylates (C -C- j o(OCH2CH2) e COOM), alkyl sarcosinates (Cg-C ⁇ oCON(CH3)R), alkyl sulpho succinates (Cg-C ⁇ oOOCCH(S ⁇ 3M)CH2COOZ), amine oxides (Cg-C- j oRR'NO), glucose amides (C 6 -C 10 CONR"X), alkyl pyrrolidones (Cg-C-io ⁇ H ON), alkyl

- most preferred short chain nonionic surfactants for use herein are those where said short chain is a hydrocarbon chain comprising from 7 to 10 carbon atoms.
- Said preferred short chain nonionic surfactants for use herein can be manufactured by the processes well known to the man skilled in the art, such as condensation of the corresponding alcohol and alkylene oxide, but such short chain surfactants are more conveniently commercially available for instance from Sidobre under the trade name Mergital@C4 (C8E04), from Kolb under the trade names Imbentin® AG/810/050 and AG/810/080 (respectively C8-10EO5 and C8- 10EO8)- Preferred short chain anionic surfactants for use herein are C -C ⁇ o alkyl sulphates (Cg-C 10 SO4) and alkyl sulphonates (Cg-C ⁇ SOs).
- C6-C8 alkyl sulphates and sulphonates are preferred.
- Such short chain anionic surfactants can be made by well known sulphation or sulphonation processes followed by neutralization, but said anionic short chain surfactants are more conveniently commercially available, for instance from Rhone Poulenc under the trade name Rhodapon® OLS, or from Witco under the trade name Witconate®.

- the long chain amine oxide of the present invention restore the viscosity to a value of from 50cps to 2000 cps, preferably from 100 cps to 700cps, measured with a Brookfield viscosimeter RVT at a temperature of 25°C using spindle numbers 2 or 3 or 4 at 50 r.p.m. or 100 r.p.m.
- compositions according to the present invention may further comprise as an optional ingredient other long chain surface active agents.
- Suitable long chain surface actives include alkyl sarcosinates, paraffin sulphonates, alkyl sulphates and alkyl ether sulphates.
- a preferred optional ingredient is C12 alkyl sulphate, the weight ratio of short chain surfactant to C-J2 alkyl sulphonate being of 1:4 to 4:1.
- Suitable fatty acids for use herein can be any Cg-C- j g fatty acid, preferably fully saturated, preferably a sodium, potassium or lithium salt, more preferably the sodium salt.
- Suitable fatty acids may be selected from caprylic acid, capric acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid and mixtures of fatty acids suitably hardened, derived from natural sources such as tallow, coconut oil, ground oil and babassu oil.
- compositions according to the present invention comprise from 0.2% to 2%, preferably from 0.5% to 1% by weight of the total composition of fatty acids.

- compositions according to the present invention may also comprise a number of additional ingredients such as colourants and perfumes. Additionally, the compositions according to the present invention may comprise silicates used as corrosion inhibitors.
- compositions according to the present invention are prepared by methods well known in the art such as the methods described in GB 1 329 086.
- the compositions according to the present invention can be prepared by mixing all of the ingredients in a non-metallic apparatus at room temperature.
- the surfactant blend is first prepared by adding the short chain surfactant to the long chain component. Perfume and the alkali metal hypochlorite are then added whilst stirring. Colourants are added after all the other ingredients have been mixed.
- compositions of the present invention may be used for a variety of cleaning purposes such as cleaning hard surfaces whereby said compositions thickened nature result in longer adhesion to the surface than non-thickened compositions.
- Said compositions are particularly suitable in the cleaning of inclined surfaces including toilet bowls.
- compositions herein are used in dishwashing applications, including hand dishwashing - as well as washing with automatic dishwashing machines.
- dishwashing applications including hand dishwashing - as well as washing with automatic dishwashing machines.
- said compositions give particularly good cleaning performance, especially in terms of soil removal when used as a pretreatment composition for treating dishes especially pans, pots kitchen grills and/or any kitchenware soiled by though food stains/encrustations.
- the present invention encompasses a process of treating dishes which comprises the steps of contacting said dishes with a composition according to the present invention in its diluted or neat form, then allowing said dishes to remain in contact with said composition for a period of time sufficient to treat said dishes, preferably from 2 to 15 minutes, then rinsing said dishes in water to remove said composition.
- Said process mentioned herein may be followed by a subsequent step where said dishes are washed with a dishwashing product including the one of the present invention or any other coventional diswashing product.
- said subsequent step may be either a hand dishwashing operation or a dishwashing performed in automatic dishwashing machines.
- said process of treating dishes mentioned herein before can be preceded by a step where said dishes are soaked in water before being contacted with a composition of the present invention.
- compositions according to the present invention may be diluted with water.
- dilution levels are of from 0.5% to 3% by weight of a composition of the present invention in water. Said dilution may occur before or while a composition of the present invention is applied to said dishes.
- treating includes washing as the compositions according to the present invention comprise surfactants and bleaching as the preferred compositions of the present invention comprise hypochlorite.
- compositions according to the present invention can be illustrated by the following examples.
