- the present invention provides a fabric washing detergent composition
- a fabric washing detergent composition comprising an organic surfactant system and a non-aqueous solvent which together with water form a stable oil-in-water microemulsion, the composition comprising:
- Rapidity of cleaning effect is of critical importance for a pretreatment product which is required to work within a short time period.
- the present invention enables detergent compositions to be formulated which are highly effective main wash products and yet which also offer a potent pretreatment facility.
- compositions are also suitable for use in machine washing employing automatic dosing systems, for example, as described and claimed in US 4 489 455 (Procter & Gamble).
- This patent describes and claims apparatus and process for washing textiles based on utilising strictly limited or controlled quantities of an aqueous wash liquor, ranging from (at least) just enough to be distributed evenly and completely over the whole wash load, to (at most) about five times the dry weight of the washload.
- compositions of the invention which are preferably liquid, the ethoxylated nonionic surfactant and the solvent are so chosen, and are present in amounts such that, together with water, they form a stable oil-in-water microemulsion in which the solvent is within the micelles of the surfactant.
- the ethoxylated nonionic surfactant has an average alkyl chain length which is less than 12 carbon atoms.
- the average alkyl chain length is within the range of from 9 to 11 carbon atoms, and most preferably the average alkyl chain length is about C 10 .
- the ethoxylated nonionic surfactant is also characterised by a high content of C 10 material: at least 45 wt%, preferably at least 50 wt% and most preferably at least 70 wt% (all based on the alcohol).
- the remainder of the ethoxylated nonionic surfactant may be of predominantly shorter or longer chain length, but advantageously the total content of C 10 and shorter-chain material is at least 60 wt%, and more preferably at least 75 wt% (all based on the alcohol).
- Suitable materials are the Novel (Trade Mark) 1012 series ex Vista, which are narrow-range-ethoxylated materials consisting mainly of C 10 chains, available in various average degrees of ethoxylation.
- the chain length distribution of these materials is typically C 10 84 ⁇ 4%, C 12 8.5 ⁇ 2%, C 14 6.5 ⁇ 2%.
- a class of broader-range-ethoxylated materials suitable for use in the invention is the Dobanol (Trade Mark) 91 series ex Shell, which consist mainly of C 9 , C 10 and C 11 chains.
- the chain length distribution of these materials is typically C 9 18%, C 10 50%, C 11 32%.
- ethoxylated nonionic surfactants are generally mixtures containing a spread of chain lengths about an average value. If desired, a mixture of two or more commercial materials may be used provided that the overall average chain length of all nonionic surfactant present is less than C 12 and provided that sufficient C 10 material is present in the overall mixture.
- the average degree of ethoxylation may suitably range from 2 to 8, and preferably from 2 to 6, in order to give optimum HLB (hydrophilic-lipophilic balance) values corresponding to optimum oily soil detergency.
- the HLB value suitably ranges from 8 to 14, preferably from 8 to 12.5, and more preferably from 9 to 10.
- a cosurfactant which is not an ethoxylated alcohol may be present, provided that at least 50 wt% of the surfactant system is constituted by ethoxylated nonionic surfactant.
- the co-surfactant may be, for example, a nonionic surfactant other than an ethoxylated alcohol, or an anionic sulphate or sulphonate type detergent, such as alkylbenzene sulphonate or primary alcohol sulphate. It is generally preferred that the surfactant system should contain not more than 40 wt% of anionic surfactant.
- the surfactant system as a whole constitutes from 2 to 40 wt% of the composition, preferably from 5 to 40 wt%, more preferably from 5 to 30 wt% and advantageously from 5 to 25 wt%, of the composition.
- the non-aqueous solvent which constitutes from 0.5 to 55 wt%, preferably from 0.5 to 20 wt%, of the composition, may be any solvent valuable in the removal of oily soil which exhibits a sufficiently low interfacial tension towards the ethoxylated nonionic surfactant to form a stable oil-in-water microemulsion.
- the solvent may range from wholly non-polar paraffinic materials, for example, alkanes, to more polar materials such as esters.
- Preferred solvents are C 12-16 alkanes, for example, dodecane, tetradecane and hexadecane, hexadecane being especially preferred.
- the optimum amount present depends on the chain length.
- hexadecane from 0.5 to 20 wt%, preferably from 5 to 15 wt% and more preferably from 7.5 to 15 wt%, is suitable; for tetradecane, 15 to 30 wt% is preferred, and for dodecane, 25 to 55 wt% is preferred.
- the weight ratio of non-aqueous solvent (alkane) to ethoxylated nonionic surfactant is also dependent on chain length.
- alkane alkane
- ethoxylated nonionic surfactant ethoxylated nonionic surfactant
- the detergency of the microemulsion system is significantly increased if there is also present a detergency builder selected from sodium tripolyphosphate and polymeric detergency builders.
- a detergency builder selected from sodium tripolyphosphate and polymeric detergency builders.
- the amount of builder that can be incorporated without destabilising the microemulsion is not, however, unlimited.
- the builder present in an amount of from is 0.1 to 5 wt%, preferably from 0.2 to 3 wt%, more preferably from 0.5 to 3 wt% and is selected from sodium tripolyphosphate and polymeric detergency builders.
- Preferred polymeric builders for use in the present invention are polymeric polycarboxylate builders, for example, acrylic, maleic and itaconic acid polymers.
- Polymers that may be used include polyacrylates, acrylic/maleic copolymers such as Sokalan (Trade Mark) CP5 and CP7 ex BASF, and the polyvinyl acetate/polyitaconic acid polymers described and claimed in WO 93 23444A (Unilever). These polymers are highly weight-effective builders which can be used in amounts that give significant building without destabilising the microemulsion.
- Oily soil detergencies were assessed by measuring the percentage removal of radio-labelled model soils by means of a scintillation counter.
- Soiled cloths (5 cm x 5 cm squares of knitted polyester) carrying a mixture of radiolabelled triolein and radiolabelled palmitic acid were prepared as follows. Each cloth was soaked in 0.18 ml of a toluene solution containing 3.33 g 95% triolein (radiolabelled) and 1.67 g 99% palmitic acid (radiolabelled) per 100 ml. The cloths were then allowed to equilibrate for 3 hours.
- composition under test was applied to a fabric square at ambient temperature at a level designed to give a liquor to cloth ratio of 1:1.
- the contact time was varied from 5 to 30 minutes to examine kinetic effects.
- the cloth was then transferred, using tweezers, to an open bottle containing 15 ml of water (20° French hard) held within a shaker bath maintained at 25°C.
- the cloth was then rinsed for 2 minutes at a 100 rpm setting of the shaker bath (this gave a gentle to and fro motion to the rinse liquor within the bottle).
- Liquid detergent compositions were prepared to the formulations (in parts by weight) given in the tables that follow. Soil removal (detergency) results are shown after the tables of compositions.
- compositions of Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples A, X, P, D, M, N and H containing a solvent (hexadecane) were in microemulsion form, while the compositions of Comparative Examples B, Y, C, Q, E, F and G, which did not contain a solvent, were not.
- the ingredients used may be identified as follows:
- microemulsion system X finally gave results comparable with those obtained from microemulsion system A, but required the full 30 minutes to do so; the use of short-chain nonionic surfactant clearly gives a significant kinetic advantage.
- the non-microemulsion system Y was poor, comparable to the non-microemulsion system B.

- the microemulsion P gave significantly worse results than the microemulsion 1, and was also slow to reach the maximum value. Of the four systems only 1 gave really high values.
- the non-microemulsion systems Q and C gave similar results, showing no benefit for the use of short-chain nonionic surfactant in the non-microemulsion system.
