Definitions

  • the present invention relates to acidic aqueous liquid compositions, more particularly to acidic aqueous compositions comprising sulphuric acid and a specific cheating agent, or mixtures thereof.
  • Said compositions find particular application in the cleaning of hard-surfaces, especially inclined hard-surfaces, such as toilet bowls and the like.
  • mineral encrustations On hard surfaces there is often deposition of mineral encrustations. This type of soil is composed of calcium carbonate and, in case of toilet bowls, of other calcium salts. The deposition of mineral encrustations is related to water evaporation and to the action of microorganisms (e.g., bacteria) present on toilet bowl surfaces. Mineral encrustations are aesthetically unpleasant and, especially in toilet bowls, favor the subsequent deposition of additional soils. It is therefore important to inhibit/reduce this soil deposition phenomenon.
  • Acidic compositions comprising a strong source of acidity, such as sulphuric acid, are particularly interesting for the cleaning of hard-surfaces, especially for the hygienic cleaning of sanitary fittings such as toilet bowls and the like.
  • compositions containing sulfuric acid have not been found to be satisfactory from a consumer view-point regarding the surface appearance, i.e. shine and/or cleaning performance, delivered to the surface being treated therewith.
  • an acidic composition containing sulphuric acid when used to remove mineral encrustations from a hard-surface, may leave residues on it, which appear as streaks when water has evaporated. This is particularly evident when the encrustations are enriched of calcium salts, for instance, in presence of hard water and when the composition is used neat.
  • calcium sulfate residues may make the consumer believe that the acidic composition is not effective in removing the toilet soils because the calcium sulfate residues can be perceived by the consumer as soils not having been removed. In addition or alternatively, consumer may think that product performance in terms of shine is not satisfactory because of calcium sulfate residues. Also, calcium sulfate residues may slightly decrease the mineral encrustation removal effectiveness of the acidic composition. In fact, calcium sulfate residues cover the mineral encrustations thus lowering the collision probability between H+ ions and mineral encrustations themselves. This reduces the probability that said encrustations could react with H+ ions and consequently be removed.
  • compositions which comprise beaches possess many desirable properties, including disinfection properties.
  • such compounds, as monopersulfuric acid are particularly effective as disinfectants and in removing and or decolouring stains for household cleaning applications.
  • acidic aqueous compositions which further comprise bleaches stability problems appear, i.e. in general beaches raise compatibility issues in relation with the acids used to remove mineral encrustations. It is thus an object of the present invention to provide an acidic aqueous composition which can be formulated with beaches, in particularly persulfuric acid, in a stable manner.
  • an acidic aqueous composition comprising sulphuric acid and a cheating agent having a pKa not higher than 4, preferably not higher than 2. More particularly, it has unexpectedly been found that the addition of such a chelating agent to an acidic aqueous composition comprising sulphuric acid allows to inhibit the formation and subsequent precipitation of calcium sulfate, when the above composition is applied on inorganic soils like calcium carbonate or calcium phosphate encrustations commonly found in hard-surfaces, like toilet bowls, resulting thereby in improved surface appearance.
  • An advantage of the present invention is that the end result advantage in terms of surface appearance is particularly noticeable when the composition is used neat, for example, when used for cleaning toilet bowls above the toilet water line, when the water hardness is high and in presence of calcium salts enriched soils.
  • Another advantage of the present invention is that said aqueous acidic compositions are efficient on various surfaces to clean various soils and stains.
  • compositions of the present invention which further comprise a source of active oxygen, such as monopersulfuric acid, when used to treat hard surfaces, especially toilet bowls, exhibit outstanding soil discoloration together with a germicidal action, this when used both neat or diluted.
  • a further advantage of the compositions of the present invention is that said compositions are chemically stable for long storage periods. Indeed, the chelating agents having a pka not higher than 4 contribute to the stability of the acidic aqueous compositions of the present invention which further comprise a source of active oxygen.
  • compositions of the present invention which further comprise a thickening surfactant system comprising quaternary ammonium compound and short chain amine oxide (C6-C10), exhibit improved thickening properties at low total thickening surfactant level.
  • a thickening surfactant system comprising quaternary ammonium compound and short chain amine oxide (C6-C10)

  • EP-A-346 667 discloses stabilized aqueous mixed permonosulphuric acid/sulphuric acid solutions containing a sequestrant such as a phosphorus-containing compound, commercially available from Monsanto under the trade name Dequest, in an amount of from 0.01% to 1% by weight and a stabilizing quantity of an added metal compound.
  • the solutions of EP-A-346 667 are suitable for use to strip photoresist residues from semiconductor surfaces.
  • the solution of permonosulphuric acid may be produced by reacting sulphuric acid and hydrogen peroxide.
  • EP-A-346 667 further discloses that surfactants may be added and that a suitable quantity is from 20 to 500 ppm by weight of the solution.
  • J 06340617 discloses safe peracetic acid compositions comprising peracetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, acetic acid, a stabilizer such a pyrophosphonic acid or diethylene triamine penta methylenephosphonic acid, and sulphuric acid.
  • a stabilizer such as a pyrophosphonic acid or diethylene triamine penta methylenephosphonic acid

  • compositions of the present invention are aqueous liquid compositions comprising, as a second essential ingredient, a chelating agent having a pKa being not higher than 4, or mixtures thereof, preferably having a pKa being not higher than 2.
  • the chelating agents to be used according to the present invention should have a pKa not higher than 4, preferably not higher than 2, so that they are not totally protonated in the compositions of the present invention which are formulated at very low pH values.
  • the chelating agents of the present invention are negatively charged at very low pH value, for instance, at pH 1 and thus contribute to inhibit the formation and subsequent precipitation of poorly water soluble calcium salts such as calcium sulfate.
  • Protons of sulfuric acid are able to dissolve calcium carbonate crystals thus liberating Ca++ and CO3-- ions into the composition in contact with the surface of, for instance, a toilet bowl to be treated.
  • the CO2 release plus the water formation as indicated in the above reaction contribute to increase the local pH from about 0.5 to about 1 where the chelating agents of the present invention having a pKa not higher than 4 become partially unprotonated and therefore inhibit/reduce calcium sulfate precipitation by binding Ca++ in soluble complexes. Also, they could bind Ca++ ions of the encrustation itself, thus helping its removal.
