Definitions

  • the invention relates to detergent compositions containing amphoteric polymers to control the deposition of lime soap, particularly machine dishwashing compositions containing lipolytic enzymes.
  • a critical criteria for an effective machine dishwashing composition is the appearance of both the washed glassware and plastic articles to the consumer. Spotting and filming of such tableware, when washed with commercial products, generally results from mineral deposition during the evaporation of undrained wash solution in the drying step.
  • the deposited minerals are from many sources, including salts of ingredients in the product formulations, calcium carbonate from temporary water hardness, and suspended soil.
  • a prior art solution to the removal of these white mineral spots has been the addition of a rinse aid composition to the rinsing water of the machine cycle. Although the visual appearance of the washed tableware is improved, some spotting, but especially mineral film formation has still been observed even with the use of this additional product. Moreover, use of a rinse aid is inconvenient to the consumer.
  • hydrophobic soil fragments that are present on washed tableware are believed to be triglyceride and fatty ester soil. Consequently, machine dishwashing and rinse aid compositions incorporating lipolytic enzymes which assist in breaking down these soils have been described in EP-A-346,136 and EP-A-271,155. Although lipolytic enzymes can reduce the formation of mineral spots due to hydrophobic soil fragments, the enzymes can also cause a different type of white deposits to build up on hydrophobic surfaces such as plastics.
  • Prior art solutions to these problems include formulations of machine dishwashing compositions incorporating certain lime soap dispersants with lipolytic enzymes as described in WO-94/07984 and WO-94/07985 (Proctor & Gamble). Tableware washed with compositions containing lipases and these lime soap dispersants have been observed to have low lime soap film scores (i.e. little to no filming is observed). However, a large number of white mineral spots on the washed articles have been observed. It is thus believed that the lime soap dispersants described in these publications actually inhibit the action of the lipase.
  • Hydrophobically modified copolymers of especially acrylic acid, have been described in copending Gordon et al.; U.S. Serial No. 08/457,690 for incorporation in machine dishwashing compositions. Calcium soap deposition is reduced by the presence of these polymers.
  • US-A-4,891,149 describes polymeric lime soap dispersants which consist of copolymers and water soluble salts of copolymers of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and mixtures thereof and acrylamide, alkyl or alkylol substituted acrylamide, or mixture of said acrylamides.
  • enzymes may also be added to the formulations.

  • the number of spots on the glass tumblers gives an indication of the effectiveness of the lipase.
  • the lowest number of spots corresponds to the most effective lipase action.
  • composition 2 addition of lipase to the base formulation results in a significant reduction in the number of spots on the glass tumblers (Composition 2). This is indicative of lipase functioning in the system.
  • Filming on polyethylene items is very high, due to lime soap deposition.
  • Addition of an amphoteric polymer within the scope of the invention (Composition 3) significantly reduces the film score on polyethylene items, while the excellent glassware appearance produced by lipase is retained, as seen by the low spotting scores on the glass tumblers.
