Description

PIECE SOAPS CONTAINING FATTY ACID POLYGLYCOLESTER SULFATES

Field of the Invention

The invention relates to new bar soaps which contain anionic surfactants of the fatty acid polyglycol ester sulfate type and fatty acid salts as essential components.

State of the art

Modern bar soaps, especially toilet or fine soaps, are usually based on mixtures of beef tallow and coconut oil in a ratio of about 9: 1. This fat deposit is hydrolyzed by adding sodium hydroxide solution to the base soap, which contains other additives such as. B. humectants, fillers and binders, superfatting agents, dyes and perfumes etc. are added. Usual fine soaps contain about 80% fatty acid salts, 10% water and ad 100% auxiliaries and additives. The large number of products that are offered to consumers document the lively market interest and nevertheless make it clear that there is a constant need among consumers for further improved products, which are characterized in particular by improved dermatological compatibility, increased foaming capacity, higher creaminess, regreasing, rinsing ability , Skin feel and the like. Soap manufacturers, on the other hand, are looking for soap formulations which, for example, lead to pieces with higher breaking strength or allow the problem-free incorporation of certain surfactants, such as alkyl sulfates. An overview of this topic can be found, for example, in J.Am. Oil.Chem.Soc. 59: 442 (1982).

With regard to the production of bar soaps, a very large number of processes from the prior art can of course be looked back on. A distinction must essentially be made here between synthetic, "soap-free" soaps, so-called syndets, and in particular combinations of fatty acid salts and synthetic surfactants ("combibars"). To produce combibars, it is proposed, for example, in EP-A 0176330 (Unilever) to combine fatty acid soaps with salts of isethionic acid. From the documents EP-A 0189332, EP-A 0472320 and EP-A 0508006 (Unilever) the use of fatty acid isethionates as a synthetic component of combibars is known. However, there is a constant need in the market for products with improved properties. In particular, bar soaps are desired which produce a more productive and creamy foam than the products of the prior art and which additionally have improved dermatological compatibility. The soaps should continue to impart an improved skin feel and have a lower tendency to swell and crack. The object of the present invention was therefore to provide bar soaps of the described complex requirement profile.

Description of the invention

The invention relates to bar soaps containing

(a) 1 to 60, preferably 5 to 15% by weight of fatty acid polyglycol ester sulfates,

(b) 10 to 35, preferably 5 to 30% by weight of fatty acid salts,

(c) 0 to 40, preferably 1 to 30% by weight of anionic, nonionic or amphoteric cosurfactants,

(d) 0 to 10, preferably 1 to 8% by weight of fatty acids and

(e) 0 to 40, preferably 1 to 30% by weight of water-soluble structuring agents,

with the proviso that the amounts given add up to 100% by weight with water and other conventional auxiliaries and additives.

Surprisingly, it has been found that the bar soaps according to the invention not only produce a particularly stable and creamy foam, but also have improved dermatological compatibility, increased water retention on the skin (skin moisture) and a reduced tendency to swamp. The invention includes the knowledge that the combination of the fatty acid polyglycol ester sulfates with further surfactants, in particular of the type of the alkyl and / or alkenyl oligoglycosides, fatty acid N-alkyl polyhydroxyalkylamides, monoglyceride (ether) sulfates, betaines or their mixtures lead to bar soaps with further improved properties.

Fatty acid polyglycol ester sulfates

Fatty acid polyglycol ester sulfates, which form component (a) and preferably follow formula (I),

R ¹ COO (AO) _x S0 ₃ X (I)

in the R ¹ CO for a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated acyl radical with 6 to 22 Carbon atoms, x for numbers of 1 to 3 on average and AO for a CH2CH2O, CH ₂ CH (CH ₃ ) 0 and / or CH (CH ₃ ) CH ₂ 0 radical and X for an alkali and / or alkaline earth metal, Ammonium, alkylammonium, alkanolammonium or glucammonium are known anionic surfactants and are prepared by sulfating the corresponding fatty acid polyglycol esters. These in turn can be obtained using the relevant preparative processes in organic chemistry. For this purpose, ethylene oxide, propylene oxide or a mixture thereof - in random or block distribution - is added to the corresponding fatty acids, this reaction being acid-catalyzed, but preferably in the presence of bases, such as, for example, sodium methylate or calcined hydrotalcite. If a degree of alkoxylation of 1 is desired, the intermediates can also be prepared by esterifying the fatty acids with an appropriate alkylene glycol. The sulfation of the fatty acid polyglycol esters can be carried out in a manner known per se with chlorosulfonic acid or preferably gaseous sulfur trioxide, the molar ratio between fatty acid polyglycol ester and sulfating agent being in the range from 1: 0.95 to 1: 1, 2, preferably 1: 1 to 1: 1 , 1 and the reaction temperature can be 30 to 80 and preferably 50 to 60 ° C. It is also possible to undersulfate the fatty acid polyglycol esters, ie to use significantly fewer sulfating agents than would be stoichiometrically required for complete conversion. For example, if one chooses molar amounts of fatty acid polyglycol ester to sulfating agent from 1: 0.5 to 1: 0.95, mixtures of fatty acid polyglycol ester sulfates and fatty acid polyglycol esters are obtained, which are also advantageous for a whole series of applications. In order to avoid hydrolysis, it is very important to carry out the neutralization at a pH in the range from 5 to 9, preferably 7 to 8. Typical examples of suitable starting materials are the addition products of 1 to 3 moles of ethylene oxide and / or propylene oxide, but preferably the adducts with 1 mole of ethylene oxide or 1 mole of propylene oxide with caproic acid, caprylic acid, 2-ethylhexanoic acid, capric acid, lauric acid, isotridecanoic acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, Palmoleic acid, stearic acid, isostearic acid, oleic acid, elaidic acid, petroselinic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, elaeostearic acid, arachidic acid, gadoleic acid, behenic acid and erucic acid and their technical mixtures, which are then sulfated and neutralized as described above. Fatty acid polyglycol ester sulfates of the formula (I) are preferably used in which R ¹ CO stands for an acyl radical having 12 to 18 carbon atoms, x for an average of 1 or 2, AO for a CH∑C ^ O group and X for sodium or ammonium, such as for example lauric acid + 1 EO sulfate sodium salt, lauric acid + 1 EO sulfate ammonium salt, coconut fatty acid + 1EO sulfate sodium salt, coconut fatty acid + 1 EO sulfate ammonium salt, tallow fatty acid + 1 EO sulfate sodium salt, tallow fatty acid + 1 EO sulfate ammonium salt and mixtures thereof. Fatty acid salts

The fatty acid salts which form component (b) are the alkali metal salts of fatty acids having 6 to 22 and preferably 12 to 18 carbon atoms. Typical examples are the sodium or potassium salts of lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, behenic acid and their technical mixtures such as, for example, coconut fatty acid, palm kernel fatty acid, palm fatty acid and tallow fatty acid.

Alkyl and / or alkenyl oligoglycosides

Alkyl and alkenyl oligoglycosides, which may be included as optional surfactant component (d), are known nonionic surfactants which follow the formula (II),

R20- [G] _P (II)

in which R ^{2 is} an alkyl and / or alkenyl radical having 4 to 22 carbon atoms, G is a sugar radical having 5 or 6 carbon atoms and p is a number from 1 to 10. They can be obtained according to the relevant procedures in preparative organic chemistry. As representative of the extensive literature, reference is made here to the documents EP-A1 0301298 and WO 90/03977. The alkyl and / or alkenyl oligoglycosides can be derived from aldoses or ketoses with 5 or 6 carbon atoms, preferably glucose. The preferred alkyl and / or alkenyl oligoglycosides are thus alkyl and / or alkenyl oligoglucosides. The index number p in the general formula (II) indicates the degree of oligomerization (DP), ie the distribution of mono- and oligoglycosides, and stands for a number between 1 and 10. While p must always be an integer in a given compound and especially here can assume the values p = 1 to 6, the value p for a certain alkyl oligoglycoside is an analytically determined arithmetic parameter, which usually represents a fractional number. Alkyl and / or alkenyl oligoglycosides with an average degree of oligomerization p of 1.1 to 3.0 are preferably used. From an application point of view, those alkyl and / or alkenyl oligoglycosides are preferred whose degree of oligomerization is less than 1.7 and is in particular between 1.2 and 1.4. The alkyl or alkenyl radical R ² can be derived from primary alcohols having 4 to 11, preferably 8 to 10, carbon atoms. Typical examples are butanol, capro alcohol, caprylic alcohol, capric alcohol and undecyl alcohol and their technical mixtures, such as are obtained, for example, in the hydrogenation of technical fatty acid methyl esters or in the course of the hydrogenation of aldehydes from Roelen's oxosynthesis. Alkyl oligoglucosides of the chain length Cβ-Cio (DP = 1 to 3) are preferred, which are obtained as a preliminary step in the separation of technical Cβ-Ciβ-coconut fatty alcohol by distillation and can be contaminated with a proportion of less than 6% by weight of Ci2-alcohol and Alkyl oligoglucosides based on technical Cg / n Oxo alcohols (DP = 1 to 3). The alkyl or alkenyl radical R ² can also be derived from primary alcohols having 12 to 22, preferably 12 to 14, carbon atoms. Typical examples are lauryl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, palmoieyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, isostearyl alcohol, oleyl alcohol, elaidyl alcohol, petroselinyl alcohol, arachyl alcohol, gadoleyl alcohol, behenyl alcohol, erucyl alcohol, brassidyl alcohol and their technical mixtures, which can be obtained as well as their technical mixtures. Alkyl oligoglucosides based on hydrogenated Ci2 / i4 coconut alcohol with a DP of 1 to 3 are preferred.

The fatty acid N-alkyl polyhydroxyalkylamides are known substances which can usually be obtained by reductive amination of a reducing sugar with ammonia, an alkylamine or an alkanolamine and subsequent acylation with a fatty acid, a fatty acid alkyl ester or a fatty acid chloride. With regard to the processes for their production, reference is made to US Pat. Nos. 1,985,424, 2,016,962 and 2,703,798 and international patent application WO 92/06984. An overview of this topic by H.Kelkenberg can be found in Tens.Surf.Deterg. 25, 8 (1988). The fatty acid N-alkylpolyhydroxyalkylamides are preferably derived from reducing sugars having 5 or 6 carbon atoms, in particular from glucose. The preferred fatty acid N-alkyl polyhydroxyalkylamides are therefore fatty acid N-alkylglucamides, as represented by the formula (IV):

Fatty acid N-alkylglucamides of the formula (IV) which are obtained by reductive amination of glucose with methylamine and subsequent acylation with lauric acid or Ci2 / i4 coconut fatty acid or a corresponding derivative are particularly preferred. Furthermore, the polyhydroxyalkylamides can also be derived from maltose and palatinose.

Monoglyceride sulfates and monoglyceride ether sulfates, which may be included as further anionic surfactants (component c3), are known substances which can be obtained by the relevant methods of preparative organic chemistry. The usual starting point for their production is triglycerides, which, if appropriate, are transesterified to the monoglycerides after ethoxylation and subsequently sulfated and neutralized. It is also possible to react the partial glycerides with suitable sulfating agents, preferably gaseous sulfur trioxide or chlorosulfonic acid [cf. EP-B1 0561825, EP-B1 0561999 (Henkel)]. If desired, the neutralized substances can be subjected to ultrafiltration in order to reduce the electrolyte content to a desired level [DE-A1 4204700 (Henkel)]. Overviews of the chemistry of the monoglyceride sulfates are, for example, by A.K.Biswas et al. in J.Am.Oil.Chem.Soc. 37, 171 (1960) and F.U.Ahmed J.Am.Oil. Chem.Soc. 67, 8 (1990).

Betaines, which can also be used as representatives of the amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactants, are known substances which are predominantly prepared by carboxyalkylation, preferably carboxymethylation, of aminic compounds. The starting materials are preferably condensed with halocarboxylic acids or their salts, in particular with sodium chloroacetate, one mol of salt being formed per mole of betaine. The addition of unsaturated carboxylic acids, such as acrylic acid, is also possible. Regarding the nomenclature and in particular the distinction between betaines and "real" amphoteric surfactants, reference is made to the contribution by U.PIoog in Seifen-Öle-Fette-Wwachs, 198, 373 (1982). Further overviews on this topic can be found for example by A. O'Lennick et al. in HAPPI, Nov. 70 (1986), S. Holzman et al. in tens. Surf.Det. 23, 309 (1986), R.Bilbo et al. in Soap Cosm. Chem.
