Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cleaning composition for hard surfaces, wherein said composition comprises both a fully saturated dialkyl cationic surfactant and a nonionic surfactant.
- GB 1528592 (1978) discloses alkaline, floor cleaning compositions which comprise an organic, polycarboxylic acid co-polymer having a molecular weight in the range 100,000-2,500,000 which is soluble in aqueous solutions having a pH of 8.5 or above. These polymers are readily available in commercial quantities.
- GB 1534722 (1978) discloses granular hard surface cleaning compositions which comprise surfactant and, as "a soil removal improvement mixture", a polyvinyl alcohol or pyrrolidone and a biopolysaccharide. These polymers have molecular weights ranging from around 5000 to around 360,000 and are available in industrially useful quantities. The compositions form alkaline solutions.
- EP 0467472 A2 discloses that soil release promoting polymers such as, but not limited to, the cationic poly[beta(methyl diethyl-ammonium) ethyl-methacrylate] are also effective in combination with anionic and cationic surfactant.
- 'said adsorbed polymer forms a residual anti-soiling hydrophillic layer of said soil release promoting polymer on said surface, whereby removal of soils subsequently deposited thereupon requires less work than in the absence of said residual layer'.
- the molecular weight range of the polymers falls into the range 4,000-100,000 although the use of polymers having a molecular weight above 50,000 is discouraged for solubility reasons.
- EP 0379256 discloses similar compositions to the above-mentioned document, having up to 2%wt of an optional quaternised, anti-static, polymer of molecular weight in the range of 2,000 - 500,000, and being characterised by an acidic pH of 2-4 and a 2-4%wt of a nonionic surfactant system.

- the ethoxylation number x is close to 1.7, i.e. 1.5-2.0.
- the cationic surfactants present in the compositions of the present invention modify the surface energy of surfaces to which the composition is applied so as to raise the contact angle of soil subsequently deposited on the modified surface.

- the contact angle of a 10 microlitre dodecane droplet is less than 10 degrees.
- the contact angle of the dodecane droplet is increased to typically above 20 degrees.
- the present invention also extends to a method for cleaning a hard surface with a net negative charge which comprises the step of treating said surface with a composition as described herein.
- compositions of the present invention comprise an alkoxylated alcohol nonionic surfactant.
- nonionic surfactant is believed to contribute significantly to the cleaning effectiveness of the compositions of the invention.
- Suitable nonionic detergent active compounds can be broadly described as compounds produced by the condensation of alkylene oxide groups, which are hydrophillic in nature, with an organic hydrophobic compound which may be aliphatic or alkyl aromatic in nature.
- the length of the hydrophillic or polyoxyalkylene radical which is condensed with any particular hydrophobic group can be readily adjusted to yield a water-soluble compound having the desired degree of balance between hydrophillic and hydrophobic elements.
- the nonionic surfactant is thus chosen from the group consisting of the condensation product of aliphatic alcohols having from 6 to 22 carbon atoms in either straight or branched chain configuration with ethylene oxide (such as a coconut oil ethylene oxide condensate having from 2 to 15 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of coconut alcohol) and condensates of alkylphenols whose alkyl group contains from 6 to 12 carbon atoms with 5 to 25 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of alkylphenol.

- the amount of nonionic detergent active to be employed in the composition of the invention will generally be from 1 to 30%wt, preferably from 2 to 20%wt, and most preferably from 5 to 10%wt.
- the ratio of nonionic surfactant to anionic and cationic surfactant is such that > 75% of the total surfactant present in the composition is nonionic.
- compositions of the present invention only comprise low levels of anionic detergent actives or that these actives are absent in so far as is practical. It is believed that the presence of anionic detergents will cause the formation of a complex between the cationic and anionic detergents which will reduce the effectiveness of the compositions.
- the overall surfactant content of compositions according to the present invention will generally be 1 to 30%.
- Hydrophobic oils are optional components of compositions according to the present invention. Suitable oils include oils which rapidly dissolve triglyceride. When oils are present preferred oils include limonene, para-cymene, dibutyl ether and butyl butyrate.

- Suitable builders include materials such as carbonates and bicarbonates, nitrilotriacetates, polycarboxylates, citrates, dicarboxylic acids, water-soluble phosphates especially polyphosphates, mixtures of ortho- and pyrophosphate, zeolites and mixtures thereof.
- Such builders can additionally function as abrasives if present in an amount in excess of their solubility in water: although it is preferable that the compositions of the present invention are essentially free of abrasive particles.
- the builder will form from 0.1 to 25% by weight of the composition.
- Metal ion sequestrants such as ethylenediaminetetraacetates, amino-polyphosphonates (DEQUEST R ) and phosphates and a wide variety of other polyfunctional organic acids and salts, can also optionally be employed.

Where solvents are present, preferred solvents are of the form R 1 -0-(E0) m -(PO) n -R 2 , wherein R 1 and R 2 are independently C2-6 alkyl or H, but not both hydrogen, m and n are independently 0-5. More preferably, the solvent is selected from the group comprising di-ethylene glycol mono n-butyl ether, monoethylene glycol mono n-butyl ether, propylene glycol n-butyl ether, isopropanol, ethanol, butanol and mixtures thereof.
- Alternative solvents include the pyrrolid(in)ones, for example N-methyl pyrrolidinone.

ACCO ACCOSOFT 440/75 ex. Stepan. AMP amino-2-methyl-1-propanol digol Butyl Digol (TM)
- compositions were prepared at room temperature by mixing except where HEQ and ACCO were used, these latter material being dissolved in three parts propylene glycol at 70 celcius and added to water, also at 70 celcius, while stirring.
- CTAB a typical mono-alkyl cationic surfactant was selected as a control as it has a significantly lower effect on the contact angle of a dodecane droplet placed on a glass (microscope) slide which has been treated with a 1% solution of the dialkyl cationic in a 5% aqueous solution of NONI.
- the surface energy gamma s /mN.m -1 of the CTAB treated glass (microscope slide) surface is believed to be of the order of 25 mN.m -1 (as measured by the method of Grifalco, Good, Fowkes and Young (see Physical chemistry of Surfaces, A. A. Adamson, Wiley, New York [1990])), whereas the surface energy of surfaces treated with similar solutions of the cationics used in the compositions of the present invention was less than 25 mN.m -1 .

- Vitreous enamel times (380x300mm) were cleaned using a fresh damp J-CLOTH (TM) using, in sequence, JIF LAC (TM), a commercially available brand of hand dishwashing liquid and calcite powder. After drying residual calcite was removed by buffing with a paper towel.
- the effort required to clean the tiles was determined as 'ETh' in table 1 for thermally aged tiles and 'EPh' for photochemically aged tiles.
- compositions according to the present invention show a marked reduction in the cleaning effort required as compared with comparable compositions which either contain no cationic surfactant or contain a cationic surfactant which is not a saturated dialkyl cationic.
