Definitions
- the present invention relates to degreasing compositions containing at least one olefin component and at least one surfactant component selected from the group consisting of alcohol ethoxylates, alcohol ethoxysulfates and mixtures thereof.
- hydrocarbon solvents particularly chlorinated and fluorinated hydrocarbons
- chlorinated and fluorinated hydrocarbons have been used in industrial degreasing operations. These solvents are effective in removing tough industrial soils, but during drying phases, some of the solvents are expelled into the atmosphere.
- chlorofluorocarbon type solvents as degreasers
- chlorofluorocarbons have come under increasing attack, and manufacturers of solvent cleaning equipment have concentrated on reducing effluents to the atmosphere by special condensation equipment, etc.
- large quantities of volatile organic compounds like chlorofluorocarbons, hexanes, heptanes, and mineral spirits are still being released into the atmosphere every year due to solvent type degreasing operations.
- a degreasing composition which would replace in whole or in part these chlorinated and fluorinated degreasing systems. It has been found that a degreasing composition containing at least one olefin component and at least one surfactant component selected from the group consisting of alcohol ethoxylates, alcohol ethoxysulfates and mixtures thereof, is effective to remove tough soils, such as greases, oils, waxes, etc., while having a relatively low environmental impact.
- a degreasing composition comprising at least one olefin component and at least one surfactant component selected from the group consisting of alcohol ethoxylates, alcohol ethoxysulfates and mixtures thereof, improves the cleaning performance of hard surface cleaners, pre-spotters, and the like, with the advantages being compliance with environmental regulations and low, maskable odor, low toxicity and a high level of effectiveness.
- the present invention provides a degreasing composition or formulation which in particular comprises from 2 to 90, preferably from 20 to 87 percent by weight, basis the total weight of the composition, of one or more olefin components, and from 2.0 to 60, preferably from 2.5 to 40, and more preferably from 10 to 30 percent by weight, basis the total weight of the composition, of a surfactant component selected from the group consisting of alcohol ethoxylates, alcohol ethoxysulfates and mixtures thereof.
- olefin is used to refer to unsaturated hydrocarbons.
- the olefin component(s) suitable for use in the degreasing composition of the present invention include detergent-range olefins containing from 8 to 24 carbon atoms. These olefins can be alpha olefins or internal olefins and they may be linear or branched, but they are preferably linear or lightly branched. Single cut olefins or mixtures of olefins may also be utilized. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the olefin is an alpha olefin containing from about 12 to about 18 carbon atoms.
- Preferred olefins for use in the degreasing composition are, for practical reasons of availability, the commercial olefin products in the C 8 to C 24 range. While commercial production of such olefins may be carried out by the cracking of paraffin wax, commercial production is more commonly accomplished by the oligomerization of ethylene using procedures well known in the art. The resulting oligomerization products are substantially of linear structure. Commercial olefin products manufactured by ethylene oligomerization are marketed in the United States by Chevron Corporation and Albermarle, and by Shell Chemical Company under the trademark NEODENE. Specific procedures for preparing suitable linear olefins from ethylene are described in U.S. Patent Nos.
- the degreasing composition contains one particular olefin or a mixture of olefins as the olefin component of the degreasing composition.
- the degreasing composition of the present invention also contains a surfactant component which is selected from the group consisting of alcohol ethoxylates, alcohol ethoxysulfates and mixtures thereof.

- a strong base typically an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxide such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, which serves as a catalyst for ethoxylation.
- the resulting mixture is dried, as by vapour phase removal of any water present, and an amount of ethylene oxide calculated to provide the desired number of moles of ethylene oxide per mole of alcohol is then introduced and the alcohol ethoxylate is allowed to react until the ethylene oxide is consumed, the course of the reaction being followed by the decrease in reactor pressure.
