  • Liquid amine oxide is typically very difficult to incorporate into solid detergent compositions via conventional laundry bar and granule manufacturing processes.
  • a major contributor to this difficulty is the huge amount of moisture such amine oxides bring into the bar formulation. This moisture results in difficulty in processing and corresponding bar softness, and/or granule stickiness, issues.
  • the resulting premix can be readily incorporated into solid detergent bar and/or granule compositions, particularly laundry detergent bar compositions. Consequently, the aspects and embodiments of the present invention set forth in this document have many advantages, including improved physical properties, versus laundry detergent bars and/or laundry detergent granule compositions comprising an amine oxide made by an alternate process.
  • Such improved physical properties may include, improved homogeneity, reduced softness, easier processing, easier packing and shipping of resulting product, and better economy in use.
  • Bar softness is undesirable for a number of reasons. For example, it causes difficulties in subsequent bar processing steps. Among other things, if a bar is too soft, it cannot be properly removed from the plodder. In addition, a soft bar is subject to deformation during packaging and/or shipping. Although a soft bar will likely harden over a period of about 2 weeks, a bar that hardens quickly coming out of the plodder can be immediately shipped and packed.
  • a soft bar used by a consumer poses several undesirable characteristics. For example, the consumer has less control over application of the detergent to the fabric. A harder bar is less malleable, again providing the consumer with more control over detergent delivery.
  • Laundry bars made with liquid amine oxide employing the present process have bar hardness/firmness properties comparable to laundry bars made with solid amine oxide via conventional processing.
  • the laundry bars produced by the present process have many additional advantages, including improved sudsing, mildness to the user's hands, and improved cleaning, yet do not present serious processability problems.
  • an ion-pair is formed between the acid and the amine oxide when the latter comes in contact with the former. It is believed the ion pair is brought about by electrostatic attraction between the acid molecule upon the loss of its hydronium ion and the protonated atom of the amine oxide. For example, with respect to a premix of HLAS and an amine oxide, an ion-pair is believed to be brought about by electrostatic attraction between the negatively charged sulfonate of HLAS and the protonated oxygen atom of the amine oxide. The protonation comes from the hydronium ion of HLAS. More specifically:
