Definitions

  • the present invention relates to liquid household cleaning products containing a halogen bleach source.
  • hypochlorite bleaches in household hard surface cleaning compositions, for example as kitchen surface cleaners typically containing 0.1-1.5% by weight of sodium hypochlorite at a pH of approximately 11.5-13.0, or at higher levels, e.g. up to 3% by weight of hypochlorite for mould removal.
  • a household cleaning composition based on a hypohalogen compound which can exert bleaching and/or bactericidal action faster than the conventional hypochlorite kind of product. Thereby, the amount of hypohalogen compound can be reduced, for improved safety and lower acrid smell, etc.
  • the present invention solves this problem by use of hypobromite which is formed in situ at the point of delivery, by reaction of a hypochlorite and a bromide or source thereof.
  • GB-A-2 161 827 describes use of dual-compartment solid compositions containing an N-chloro hypochlorite precursor and a solid bromide salt for wc cleaning.
  • the formulations are said to be suitable for rim or cistern block systems and rely on dissolution of the solid compounds in flush water followed by mixing to produce hypobromite in situ.
  • EP-A-423 014, US-A-5 108 641, EP-A-395 186 and US-A-5 076 952 relate to very similar dual-component solid compositions for machine dish washer applications.
  • US-A-3 575 865 describes production of hypobromous acid from an organic N-chloro hypochlorite precursor and brominated trisodium phosphate in scouring powder formulations.
  • JP-A-01210499 and JP-A-03064399 relate to the use of solid compositions comprising dichloroisocyanuric acid together with bromide salts and alkali (preferably sodium metasilicate) as efficient safe bleaches for household cleaning/disinfection.
  • WO-A-97/34827 discloses a method of producing stabilised liquid hypobromite formulations for hard surface cleaning whereby hypochlorite is reacted with a bromide salt and then an organic amine/alkali 'stabilising' mixture.
  • WO 97/43392 discloses a method of producing liquid hypobromite formulations for hard surface cleaning manufactured by reacting a hypochlorite with an amine (e.g. sulphamate) at pH ⁇ 11 and then mixed with bromide salt before raising the pH to a value in the range 11-14.
  • an amine e.g. sulphamate
  • JP-A-59168099 discloses preparation of low odour, high efficiency, bathroom tile cleaning compositions prepared on mixing liquid hypochlorite and bromide compositions. Packaging or delivery methods are not specified.
  • JP-A-06009998 describes use of hypobromite bleach, claiming the use of a partitioned container to separate incompatible surfactants and bleaching components until the time of use. The method of hypobromite generation is not specified and separation of reactive components, e.g. bromide and oxidant are not mentioned.
  • JP-A-059045399 discloses use of low levels of hypobromite generated from hypochlorite/bromide for cleaning contact lenses.
  • JP-A-63075100 relates to use of liquid bromide/hypochlorite formulations as drain cleaners but does not specify the method of delivery.
  • WO-A-97/34827 describes use of liquid hypochlorite - bromide derived hypobromite in anti-fouling solutions for industrial or institutional cleaning/disinfection and laundry bleaching. The solution is stabilised by addition of an alkali metal sulphamate salt which arguably may form an equilibrium with the corresponding N-brominated sulphamate species.
  • SU-A-1325062 describes the disinfection/cleaning of milk processing equipment by mixing liquid hypochlorite and bromide solutions.
  • the present invention differs from known systems in that it provides for the delivery of the hypochlorite/bromide mixtures at the point of use, unlike the disclosures of WO-A-97/34827 & WO-A-97/43392 which relate to preparation of stabilised hypbromite solutions, the reactive species is formed during product application and the formulations do not include use amine compounds as 'stabilisers'.
  • the present invention now provides a dual container delivery system comprising a first container containing a first aqueous solution comprising of a hypochlorite or a source thereof, a second container containing a second aqueous solution comprising a bromide or a source thereof and delivery means for delivering the first and second solutions to a surface such that the hypochlorite and bromide react just before or upon impacting the surface to produce a cleaning composition comprising a hypobromite bleach.
  • Systems according to the invention are applicable for use in a range of products where relatively high concentrations of hypochlorite bleach are currently required to achieve acceptable cleaning and hygiene performance.
  • Specific product types include: mould removers, wc and kitchen cleaners.
  • the first and second aqueous solutions need to be kept in different containers so that their components do not react until use. This could be achieved by providing them in respective separate containers. The consumer could then apply each to the surface, either sequentially or simultaneously to allow the reaction to form the hypobromite to occur on the surface.
  • the delivery means then allows them to be delivered to the surface so that the reaction to form the hypobromide occurs or is initiated as they are exiting the delivery means and/or in midair as they are directed to the surface and/or on the surface itself.
  • they are delivered to be mixed in approximately equal volumes, i.e. typically from 0.5 : 1 v/v to 1 : 0.5 v/v.
  • a particularly preferred delivery means is a trigger spray head.
  • this will preferably have two siphon tubes, respectively leading into each compartment and either a single nozzle with a mixing chamber or two separate nozzles substantially adjacent to each other.
  • a dispensing nozzle or nozzles configured to promote foaming may be used.
  • the hypochlorite source may be a simple hypochlorite salt such as those of the alkali or alkaline earth metals or a compound which produces hypochlorite on hydrolysis, such as organic N-chloro compounds.
  • the bromide source may be a simple bromide salt such as those of the alkali or alkaline earth metals, or a compound which undergoes transformation in solution to yield the bromide anion.
  • the hypochlorite or hypochlorite source is preferably present at about from 0.01% to 10% by weight, more preferably from 0.1% to 2% by weight of the first aqueous solution.
  • the bromide or bromide source is preferably present at about from 0.01% to 10%, more preferably from 0.1% to 2% by weight of the second aqueous solution.
  • the pH of the product when the two solutions are mixed is preferably from 8 to 13, more preferably from 9 to 13.
  • the weight ratio of the hypochlorite or its precursor to the bromide or its precursor is typically from 0.5 : 1 to 100 : 1.
  • the hypochlorite is preferably present in alkaline solution, in order to minimise decomposition, while the pH of the bromide solution is adjusted to a value such that on mixing the final pH of the formulation is optimised for the specific usage scenario. It is important that the mixing process be carefully controlled so that the pH of the final mixed solution is constrained not to fall below a value of 8. However, higher pH values are preferred (see further below). Lower pH values could result in incomplete mixing and localised areas of very low pH with the consequent risk of generating toxic halogen gas.
  • composition according to the invention optionally may comprise detergent actives (surfactants).
  • surfactants may be chosen from a wide range of anionic, nonionic, cationic, amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactants well known in the art.

  • at least one component should be storage stable in the same partial composition as the hypochlorite bleach.
  • the total thickening system should be sufficiently stable in the final composition to enable it to thicken and remain on the surface for long enough to perform its cleaning action.
  • Another way to improve cling of the final composition to a non-horizontal surface is to cause it to foam on dispensing through the addition of a foaming surfactant to at least one partial composition and the use of an appropriate dispensing device such as foaming trigger sprays known in the art.
  • Surfactants which are storage stable in combination with the hypochlorite bleach may be combined with the hypochlorite in the same partial composition. Surfactants which do not have such stability should be made part of the other partial composition.

  • a particularly suitable alkali source comprises 0.2-0.6% of NaOH and a suitable amount of alkaline Na silicate (e.g. 0.1-3%wt) to maintain the required pH.
  • the mixed composition on the surface may also contain surfactants, polymers and other formulation components such as a perfume, colourant and foam control agents. Some or all of these additional components can be stored separately from hypochlorite, i.e. together with the bromide salt, allowing use of formulation ingredients that do not have long term stability in hypochlorite solution and are therefore not used in conventional single compartment hypochlorite bleach formulations.
  • a typical non-limiting formulation suitable for delivery from a dual-compartment pack is as follows:
  • Partial composition A sodium hypochlorite - 1.0%, pH adjusted to 12.0 (in order to minimise hypochlorite decomposition).

  • Mould growth like all natural processes, is somewhat variable and in order to provide a reproducible test methodology the following process was used to produce uniformly soiled test substrate.
  • a small amount of the 'mould paste' was applied to the surface of a porous ceramic tile and a small amount of distilled water added. This mixture was evenly spread across and rubbed into the surface of the tile using a flexible plastic spatula (if necessary, additional mould paste or water was added to ease the soiling process). The final appearance of the soiled tile was a uniform dark grey. The tiles were left to dry overnight in the dark and then large tiles were then cut into smaller test pieces using a standard 'tile cutter'.
  • test solution Small circular pieces of single ply tissue paper were cut to a convenient size and placed on the surface of the 'mould tile' test pieces, such that the edges of the test pieces remained uncovered. A fixed quantity of the test solution was allowed to drop onto the surface of the tissue and allowed to soak into the tile. The test solution contacted that area of the tile that was originally covered by the tissue paper, thus preserving a background of untreated 'mould paste' around the periphery of the test piece (generally 1 cm 3 of bleach liquor is required to cover a circular area around 3 cm in diameter).
  • test solution was allowed to remain in contact with the soil for a fixed contact time, generally 3 minutes or 20 minutes, after which the test piece was immersed in 1.0M sodium thiosulphate solution for 10 minutes (to quench the reaction and prevent further bleaching).
  • the test pieces were then immersed in distilled water for 10 minutes before rinsing with further distilled water and air drying.
  • Test pieces were assessed for the level of mould bleaching by an expert panel, using a integer scale running from 0 (no decolorisation) to 6 (complete bleaching). Panel test data for each system were collated and analysed statistically to provide mean scores for each test system.
  • Each test (bleaching) system was tested using at least 3 replicate tiles.
  • a length of pre-stained BC-1 cotton cloth was cut into square swatches (2 cm x 2 cm).
  • Four replicate cloths are placed in the bottom of a clean glass beaker and covered with the cleaning liquor at room temperature. After the required contact time (generally 2 or 5 minutes) had elapsed, the cloths were removed from the cleaning solution using tweezers and immediately immersed in distilled water. The cloths were stirred in the water, and the washing procedure was repeated twice more using fresh water each time. Washed cloths were then pressed between two filters to remove excess water and placed on fresh filter papers, in the dark, to dry.
