Abstract

The invention relates to a composition suitable for cleaning, disinfection and bleaching comprising an acidic aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide, a surfactant, a phosphonic acid based complexing agent and citric acid. The invention also relates to use of such a composition for disinfection, bleaching, removal of stains from textiles, or removal of lime deposits.

Description

The present invention relates to an acidic aqueous composition suitable for cleaning, disinfection and/or bleaching comprising hydrogen peroxide, as well as use of such a composition.
Hard surface cleaning and disinfection, laundry bleaching and stain-removal, domestic as well as industrial, is often performed with chlorine based chemicals such as hypochlorite in aqueous solution which generally is effective for disinfection and bleaching, or organic solvents, enzymes and surfactants effective for stain-removal. However, hypochlorite is not useful for removing lime soap and it may also damage textile fibres and the original colours thereof. Further, for environmental reasons it is desirable to avoid chlorine based cleaning agents.
Hydrogen peroxide is known as an environmental friendly oxidiser and disinfectant, but to be efficient a rather high concentration and/or a long contact time is necessary. In the bacterial cell hydrogen peroxide reacts with -SH groups and thereby destroys SH containing enzymes and inhibit the protein synthesis. However, hydrogen peroxide has a poor storage stability, particularly in combination with other ingredients such as surfactants or organic acid. Although the hydrogen peroxide stability can be improved by addition of chelating agents like phosphonates, it is hard to find a phosphonate that both is biodegradable and effective as a hydrogen peroxide stabiliser.

EP-A1-517996 discloses a hydrogen peroxide based bleaching composition comprising a specific class of surfactants.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a storage stable composition based on hydrogen peroxide which is effective for several functions including cleaning, bleaching, disinfection, removal of stains on textiles and removal of lime deposits. It is another object of the invention to provide a composition only containing environmentally acceptable components. The composition according to the invention comprises an acidic aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide, a surfactant, citric acid and a complexing agent based on phosphonic acid, dipicolinic acid or derivatives thereof. Suitably, the pH of the composition is below 4 preferably below 3, most preferably below 2, which improves the antimicrobial activity as well as the capability of removing lime deposits or lime soap in, for example, bath tubs, toilet bowls or the like. A low pH also improves the stability of the hydrogen peroxide. However, the pH preferably is above about 0.5, most preferably above about 1.
It has surprisingly been found that citric acid, unlike most environmental friendly acids, does not cause any substantial decomposition of the hydrogen peroxide in aqueous compositions also containing surfactants and phosphonic acid or dipicolinic acid based complexing agents. It is preferred that, apart from citric acid and phosphonic and/or dipicolinic acids or derivatives thereof, the composition does not contain any substantial amounts of other organic acids. From an environmental point of view it is also preferred that the composition does not comprise any substantial amounts of phosphoric acid or phosphates.
The surfactant facilitates removal of dirt and especially non-ionic surfactants are excellent on removing fat and pigments but they also enhance the antimicrobial effect as they destroy bacterial cell membranes. Preferred surfactants are compatible with hydrogen peroxide in acidic solutions which means that neither do they cause decomposition of the hydrogen peroxide, nor does the hydrogen peroxide or the acid cause decomposition of the surfactants. Further, the surfactants are preferably environmental friendly and biodegradable.
The composition contains one or several different surfactants. Preferably, it comprises a non-ionic surfactant or an amphoteric surfactant or a mixture thereof. Although not preferred, it is also possible to include an-ionic surfactants as an alternative or as a complement.
Preferred non-ionic surfactants are selected from ethoxylated fatty acids, alcohols, amines or amides, preferably comprising from 1 to 12 most preferably from 4 to 8 mols ethylene oxide per mol acid, alcohol, amine or amide. Preferably the acid, alcohol or amide comprises from 7 to 15, most preferably from 9 to 11 carbon atoms. Useful non-ionic surfactants can be high foaming such as an ethoxylated alcohol containing 11 carbon atoms and 8 ethylene oxides, or low foaming such as a narrow range ethoxylated alcohol containing 9 carbon atoms and 6 ethylene oxides.
Preferred amphoteric surfactants are selected from derivatives of preferably aliphatic amines comprising one or more anionic groups such as carboxy, sulfo, or sulfato. Particularly preferred amphoteric surfactants satisfy the formula:

wherein x and y are, independently from each other, from 1 to 5, R' is -COOM2 or -OH, M1 and M2 are, independently from each other, H, ammonium or an alkali metal such as Na, K or Li, R is a straight or a branched carbon chain having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms or an amide of the formula:
Figure 00030002
wherein R'' is a straight or a branched carbon chain having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms. It is preferred that R' is COOM2 and that R is a straight or a branched carbon chain. Examples of preferred amphoteric surfactants are octylimino dipropionate and capryloampho diacetate which are commercially available under the trademarks Ampholak® YJH40 (Akzo Nobel) and Ampholak® XJO (Akzo Nobel), respectively.
At least one complexing agent based on phosphonic acid, dipicolinic acid or derivatives thereof should be included in order to obtain satisfactory storage stability of the hydrogen peroxide. One or several phosphonic acid based complexing agents is preferably present in an amount from about 0.5 wt% to about 10 wt%, most preferably from about 1 wt% to about 4 wt% based on the content of hydrogen peroxide. Dipicolinic acid or derivatives thereof may be present in an amount from about 0.25 to about 5 wt%, preferably from about 0.5 to about 2 wt% based on the content of hydrogen peroxide. The complexing agents also enhance the microbial effect since they chelate cat-ions like magnesium and calcium which have an important role in the bacterial cell. Examples of useful derivatives of dipicolinic acid are picolinic acid, acid, 2,6-pyridine dialdehyde or 2,2-dipyridyl amine. Examples of useful phosphonic acid based complexing agents are those that are commercially available such as 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid, 1-aminoethane-1,1-diphosphonic acid, aminotri (methylenephosphonic acid), ethylene diamine tetra (methylenephosphonic acid), hexamethylene diamine tetra (methylenephosphonic acid), diethylenetriamine penta (methylenephosphonic acid) and diethylenetriamine hexa (methylenephosphonic acid), as well as salts thereof. Particularly high stability can be achieved by including both a phosphonic acid and dipicolinic acid or a derivative thereof.
Preferred phosphonic acid based complexing agents are those that are at least partly biodegradable. Therefore, the composition preferably comprises a complexing agent selected from biodegradable 1-aminoalkane-1,1-diphosphonic acids, or salts thereof, preferably of the formula:

Particularly preferred complexing agent are selected from morpholinomethane diphosphonic acid, N,N-dimethyl aminodimethyl diphosphonic acid, aminomethyl diphosphonic acid, or salts thereof, preferably sodium salts.

Such a concentrate may suitably contain from about 10 wt% to about 60 wt%, preferably from about 30 wt% to about 50 wt% of hydrogen peroxide, from about 5 wt% to about 30 wt%, preferably from about 10 wt% to about 20 wt% of surfactants, from about 0.5 wt% to about 10 wt% preferably from about 1 wt% to about 5 wt% of citric acid, and from about 0.05 wt% to about 10 wt%, preferably from about 1 wt% to about 5 wt% of phosphonic acid based complexing agents, alternatively from about 0.025 to about 5 wt%, preferably from about 0.5 to about 2.5 wt% of dipicolinic acid or derivatives thereof. The balance is preferably mainly made up of water. The pH of the concentrate is suitably from about 0.5 to about 3, preferably from about 1 to about 2. Such a composition is preferably diluted from about 10 to about 50 times before use and is then particularly suitable for cleaning and disinfection of hard surfaces, particularly in the food industry where it is important to destroy human pathogenic as well as product spoiling micro-organisms and spores.
