Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for inhibiting (quenching) the effect of fluorescent whitening agents on cellulosic textile fibre materials treated, being treated or to be treated with fluorescent whitening agents, by the application of certain triazine-based ultra-violet absorption agent (UVAs), preferably those of formula (10) in which M, n1, n2, R9 and R10 are as defined in claim 2 and to the material so treated and also to processes for decontaminating detergent manufacturing apparatus and recycled industrial laundry water containing residual fluorescent whitening agent (FWAs).
Description
Use of UVAs for suppressing the fluorescence of textile fibre materials treated with fluorescent whitening agents.
The present invention relates to a process for inhibiting (quenching) the effect of fluorescent whitening agents on ceUulosic textile fibre materials treated, being treated or to be treated with fluorescent whitening agents, by the application of certain ultra-violet absoφtion agents (UVAs) and to the material so treated, and to processes for decontaminating detergent manufacturing apparatus and recycled industrial laundry water containing residual fluorescent whitening agent (FWAs).
Processes for quenching the fluorescence of whitened substrates are known. Thus, for example, UK patent application GB-A-No. 2,174,731 teaches a process for quenching or preventing white effects on different substrates by the application of UV absorbers, in which process the UV absorbers employed are derivatives of the benzophenone series or of the unsulfonated benzotriazoles series.
At the present time, commercial detergents and soaps for domestic use usually contain fluorescent whitening agents to impart a whiter appearance to the washed articles. When textiles which have been dyed or printed in a light shade are washed with such a detergent composition, the shade after drying is different from what it was previously, especially in the case of light shades such as blue, pink and beige.
It is known that textiles which have color shades, where the fluorescent whitening effect exerted by fluorescent whitening agents can lead to undesirable shifts in the shade, especially with pastel shades. Those textiles can be washed with color care detergents which mostly do not contain FWAs. To prevent FWA transfer from FWA containing fabrics or from the washing machine itself to those fabrics, a quencher compound can be added to the color care detergent.
There are also situations where shifts in the shading occur. For example if a set of pastel pink hotel table covers and napkins are washed together then this may result in the items having different shades caused by the fluorescent whitening agent transfer. To reverse this effect, a quencher compound can be added during the wash to the laundry, or added to a detergent or washing aid with which the concerned laundry goods are treated.
It has now been found that certain ultra-violet absorption agents (UVAs) are most suitable for quenching or suppressing the fluorescent effects produced on substrates by treatment with fluorescent whitening agents, before, during or after treatment with the fluorescent whitening agent.
Accordingly, the invention relates to a process for quenching or suppressing the fluorescence of ceUulosic textile fibre materials treated, being treated or to be treated, with fluorescent whitening agents, which process comprises applying to said substrates, before or after the treatment with the fluorescent whitening agent, certain ultra-violet absorption agents (UVAs).
The terms "substrates" will be understood as meaning ceUulosic textile materials made of ceUulosic fibres, by which are meant in turn, for example, yarns, wovens, knits or nonwovens. The textile materials can also consist of blends of fibres.

The compounds of formula (8) are known and may be prepared e.g. by the method described in U.S. Patents 3118887 and 5197991.
Mixtures of UV absorbers can also be used.
The UV absorber is preferably applied to the substrate from an aqueous medium.
In the process of this invention, the UV absorber can be applied to the substrate and fixed thereon by all known methods of dyeing or printing, for example by treatment in a long bath in the temperature range from 20°C to 140°C, by impregnation and batching at room temperature or elevated temperature, for example in the range from 20°C to 90°C for 30 minutes to 48 hours, depending on the temperature, by padding and fixing by treatment with saturated steam, superheated steam, hot air, or by treatment with high frequency or contact heat. The UV absorber can also be applied by heat transfer printing. The UV absorber can further be fixed on the substrate in combination with organic polymers, for example in the form of aqueous or non-aqueous surface coatings, or by the method of pigment printing.
The method of applying and fixing the UV absorber and the amount of UV absorber employed depends on the substrate, the dye used, the florescent whitening agents and their fastness properties, and on the properties of the UV absorber. In general, good quenching effects are obtained when the UV absorber is used in an amount of 0.01 to 10% by weight,
based on the weight of the substrate. Preferably the UV absorber is used in an amount of 0.1 to 2% by weight, based on the weight of the substrate.
As already mentioned, the UV absorber can be applied after treatment with a fluorescent whitening agent or before, during or after dyeing or printing a substrate treated with a fluorescent whitening agent.
The method of applying the UV absorber to the substrate after dyeing or printing the substrate involves adding the substrate to a bath containing a liquor, wherein the liquor to goods ratio is preferably 1 to 20.
The after treatment liquor contains 0.01 to 10% by weight of UV absorber, based on the weight of the substrate. Preferably the UV absorber is used in an amount of 0.1 to 2% by weight, based on the weight of the substrate.
The temperature of the after treatment liquor is in the range of 30 to 90 °C, preferably 50 to 70°C. The after treatment liquor also contains a salt, such as sodium sulfate.
Treatment with the UV absorber can also be effected before, during or after dyeing or printing, before the substrate is treated with a fluorescent whitening agent. This last mentioned procedure is used, for example, for treating articles of clothing which are washed after use and may be conducted by washing the ceUulosic textile fibre material with a detergent containing at least one UVA compound as described previously.
The detergent treatment according to the present invention is preferably effected by washing the ceUulosic textile fibre material at least once with the detergent composition at a temperature ranging from 10 to 100°C, especially from 15 to 60°C.
Further compounds which are suitable for use in detergent compositions include a water- soluble acid addition salt or quaternary ammonium salt of a compound containing the group of formula (36),
wherein the benzene radical is attached to the other two parts of the group at its m- or p- positions, which compound is produced by the acylation of an excess of a polyethylenepolyamine of formula (37),

in which q is an integer 1 to 6, or a functional derivative thereof, or a functional derivative of carbonic acid.
The functional derivatives of isophthalic or terephthalic acid contemplated include the anhydride, acid halides and esters thereof. The alkyl groups incorporated in the compound through alkylation or quaternary ammonium salt formation are selected from methyl and ethyl, either of which may be substituted by a phenyl or naphthyl group. Suitable functional derivatives of the saturated aliphatic dicarboxylic acids of formula (38) include their diesters, particularly dimethyl esters, and of carbonic acid include a halide or ester thereof, a mixed halide-ester, and urea. Examples of such carbonic acid derivatives besides urea, are phosgene, diethyl carbonate and ethyl chlorocarbonate. Acids from which the acid addition salts of the compounds can be produced include inorganic acids, e.g. hydrochloric, hydrobromic and sulphuric acids, aromatic sulphonic acids, e.g. benzenesulphonic and p- toluenesulphonic acids, and CrC2 alkylsulphuric acids. The anions of the acid addition salts,
and also of the quaternary ammonium salts are preferably those of a strong inorganic acid, e.g. Cl', Br" and SO42\ or of a strong mixed organic-inorganic acid, e.g. CH3SO4 ", C2H5SO4 " and the benzene- and toluenesulphonic acid anions.

More preferably, the compounds contain the repeating unit of formula (47) in which q is 4.

The said detergent compositions are also new and, as such form a further aspect of the present invention.
The detergent may be formulated as a solid, as an aqueous liquid comprising 5-50%, preferably 10-35% water or as a non-aqueous liquid detergent, containing not more than 5%, preferably 0-1% of water, and based on a suspension of a builder in a non-ionic surfactant, as described, e.g., in GB-A-2158454.
The anionic surfactant component may be, e.g., a sulphate, sulphonate or carboxylate surfactant, or a mixture of these.
Preferred sulphates are alkyl sulphates having 12-22 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical, optionally in combination with alkyl ethoxy sulphates having 10-20 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical.
Preferred sulphonates include alkyl benzene sulphonates having 9-15 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical.
In each case, the cation is preferably an alkali metal, especially sodium.
Preferred carboxylates are alkali metal sarcosinates of formula R-CO(R1)CH2COOM1 in which R is alkyl or alkenyl having 9-17 carbon atoms in the alkyl or alkenyl radical, Ri is C C4 alkyl and M, is alkali metal.
The nonionic surfactant component may be, e.g., a condensate of ethylene oxide with a C9- C15 primary alcohol having 3-8 moles of ethylene oxide per mole.
The builder component may be an alkali metal phosphate, especially a tripolyphosphate; a carbonate or bicarbonate, especially the sodium salts thereof; a silicate or disilicate; an aluminosilicate; a polycarboxylate; a polycarboxylic acid; an organic phosphonate; or an aminoalkylene poly (alkylene phosphonate); or a mixture of these.
Preferred silicates are crystalline layered sodium silicates of the formula NaHSimO2m+i-pH2O or Na2SimO2m+ι.pH2O in which m is a number from 1.9 to 4 and p is 0 to 20.
Preferred aluminosilicates are the commercially-available synthetic materials designated as Zeolites A, B, X, and HS, or mixtures of these. Zeolite A is preferred.
Preferred polycarboxylates include hydroxypolycarboxylates, in particular citrates, polyacrylates and their copolymers with maleic anhydride.
Preferred polycarboxylic acids include nitrilotriacetic acid and ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid.
Preferred organic phosphonates or aminoalkylene poly(alkylene phosphonates) are alkali metal ethane 1 -hydroxy diphosphonates, nitrilo trimethylene phosphonates, ethylene diamine tetra methylene phosphonates and diethylene triamine penta methylene phosphonates.
Any peroxide component may be any organic or inorganic peroxide compound, described in the literature or availabe on the market, which bleaches textiles at conventional washing temperatures, e.g. temperatures in the range of from 5°C to 90°C. In particular, the organic peroxides are, for example, monoperoxides or polyperoxides having alkyl chains of at least 3, preferably 6 to 20, carbon atoms; in particular diperoxydicarboxylates having 6 to 12 carbon atoms, such as diperoxyperazelates, diperoxypersebacates, diperoxyphthalates and/or diperoxydodecanedioates, especially their corresponding free acids, are of interest. It is preferred, however, to employ very active inorganic peroxides, such as persulphate, perborate and/or percarbonate. It is, of course, also possible to employ mixtures of organic and/or inorganic peroxides. The peroxides, especially the inorganic peroxides, are preferably activated by the inclusion of an activator such as tetraacetyl ethylenediamine or
nonoylbenzene sulfonate. Bleaching catalysts which may be added include, e.g., enzymatic peroxide precursors and/or metal complexes. Preferred metal complexes are manganese or iron complexes such as manganese or iron phthalocyanines or the complexes described in EP-A-0509787.
The detergents used will usually contain one or more auxiliaries such as soil suspending agents, for example sodium carboxymethylcellulose; salts for adjusting the pH, for example alkali or alkaline earth metal silicates; foam regulators, for example soap; salts for adjusting the spray drying and granulating properties, for example sodium sulphate; perfumes; and also, if appropriate, antistatic and softening agents; such as smectite clays; enzymes, such as amylases and proteases; photobleaching agents; pigments; and/or shading agents. These constituents should be stable to any bleaching system employed.
Depending on the particular process, the white effects are quenched or suppressed locally or over the whole area of the substrate. These white effects are produced with commercially available fluorescent whitening agents, for example the known anionic or cationic fluorescent whitening agents and disperse fluorescent whitening agents used in detergent compositions.
Exemplary of such fluorescent whitening agents are derivatives of bis(triazinylamino)stilbenedisulfonic acid, triazolyl derivatives of stilbenesulfonic acids, bis(stilbene) compounds, pyrazoline, coumarin, bis(benzimidazolyl), bis(oxazolyl), naphthalimide, cyanine, benzoxazolyl and oxacyanine derivatives.
Examples of ceUulosic fibres treated according to the method of the present invention may include vegetable fibres such as cotton, viscose, flax, rayon or linen, and animal fibres such as wool, mohair, cashmere, angora and silk. Preferred ceUulosic textile fibres are those consisting of cotton.
In the detergent-making machines like spray towers may be required to produce, alternately, detergent containing and not containing fluorescent whitening agents. Problems arise when, after the machine has been used to produce FWA containing detergents, it is subsequently required for the production of FWA-free, like color care, detergents. In these circumstances, residual FWA on the machine parts contaminates the color care detergent which is subsequently produced. It is possible to clean the spray tower, but this is expensive and impairs production capacity.
A quencher compound can be used in a separate process to clean the spray tower in between two batches, or it can be added to the detergent which is subsequently produced.
In the industrial laundry saving water is a key issue. Therefore there are a lot of different technologies to re-use water. In continuous washing machines e.g. fresh water may be applied only for the last rinse, flows from the last rinse to the first rinse, and is collected in a tank under the machine. Then it may be pumped into the pre-wash bath. Washing extractors also can have such water collecting tanks for the re-use of liquor.
Problems in such washing systems which work with water re-circulation arise when the reused liquor still contains residual FWA which contaminates fabrics which are supposed to be washed without FWA.
To prevent FWA transfers during washing, a quencher compound can be added to the reuse water, e.g. into the water collecting tank.
A further area of application of the present invention is for the removal of FWA residues from hard surfaces such as floors, walls, tables, chairs etc. In the show business area, for example in discos, fluorescent soap bubbles containing FWA's are used for producing special effects under UV light. This usage naturally results in residual FWA being deposited on the furniture, floors and walls, which can readily be eliminated by application of the process of the present invention.
The following Examples further illustrate the present invention.
Example 1
Pre-brightened fabric is treated with detergent containing quencher ; decrease of degree of whiteness is measured. Conditions of pre-brightening:
Fabric: bleached, white, non-brightened cotton fabric
Wash temperature: 70°C
Wash liquor: 10 : 1 Wash time: 30 minutes Wash cycles: 1 Drying: hanging in drying cabinet at 40°C Brightener: the following amounts of a compound of formula (101 ) in solution of
0.01% concentration are applied:
4 ml (40 mg FWA /kg fabric) = Degree of whiteness (Ganz) = 120 13 ml (130 mg FWA /kg fabric) => Degree of whiteness (Ganz)=160
(101 )
Wash conditions:
Dosage: 25g "Compact Color" / kg detergent
Wash temperature: 60°C
Wash liquor: 5 : 1
Wash time: 15 minutes
Wash cycles: 1
Drying: hanging in drying cabinet at 40°C
Cone, of quencher: 0.05%, 0.10%, 0.50%, 1.00% in the detergent
A wash liquor is prepared by dissolving 25 g/kg of "Color Compacf and the specific concentration (shown in Table 1) of quencher of formula (102), in 50 mis of tap water. 10 g of bleached cotton fabric is added to the bath and washed at 60°C over 15 minutes and then rinsed, spin-dried, dried hanging in the cabinet at 40°C and ironed cautiously on the left side at 100°C.
Formulation of the used detergent "Color Compacf according to EEC recommendation:
> 30% zeolite (Na-AI-silicate)
15 - 30% Na-carbonate
5 - 15% anionic surfactants
< 5% nonionic surfactants, sodium bicarbonate, soap, polycarboxylate, enzymes, perfume
(Does not contain FWA and PVP)
Results (see Table 1):
(102)
The quencher of formula (102) shows significant effects already after 1 wash cycle. The more quencher is incorporated in the detergent, the stronger the decrease of degree of whiteness. At a higher initial whiteness level stronger effects are achieved if the same quencher level is applied:
With a high amount of quencher of 1% at an initial whiteness of 121 a decrease of whiteness of Δ 59 is achieved; at W=161 a difference of Δ 89.

The whiteness of the washed samples is measured with a DCI/SF 500 spectrophotometer according to Ganz method. The Ganz method is described in detail in the Ciba-Geigy Review, 1973/1 , and also in the article "Whiteness Measurement", ISCC Conference on Fluorescence and the Colorimetry of Fluorescent Materials, Williamsburg, February 1972, published in the Journal of Color and Appearance, 1 , No. 5 (1972).

Wash liquor: 1 :5
Wash time: 15 minutes
Wash cycles: 1
Drying: hanging in drying cabinet at 40°C
Liquor: 50 ml of the above described solutions
A wash liquor is prepared by dissolving 25 g kg "Color Compact" in 50 mis of the specific described solutions. 10 g of bleached cotton fabric is added to the bath and washed at 60°C over 15 minutes and then rinsed, spin-dried, dried hanging in the cabinet at 40°C and ironed cautiously on the left side at 100°C.
Results (see table 3):
Visual assessment of the quenched solutions:
The fluorescence of the liquor is reduced as a function of the quencher concentration.
Wash test:

Significant quenching effects can be observed as shown by the change in Ganz whiteness (Δ W):
identical amounts of brightener and quencher : Δ W = -27 double the amount of quencher with respect to the brightener: Δ W = -39 four times the amount of quencher with respect to the brightener: Δ W = -53 eight times the amount of quencher with respect to the brightener: Δ W = -41
Example 4
Cotton fabrics, dyed with 0.1 % of a reactive blue dye are treated as follows:
A. 100 parts of cotton fabric are treated in a liquor to goods ratio of 1 :20 over 20 minutes at 60° in a bath containing 0.1 parts of a quencher of formula (102) and 5 g/l sodium sulfate and subsequently rinsed and dried.
B. 100 parts of cotton fabric are treated as in example A but without the addition of the quencher of formula (102).
Each sample is divided into 2 pieces, one of which is washed, the other is used for comparison purposes. Washing is carried out at 50 °C for 15 minutes at a liquor to goods ratio of 1 :20 with 4 g/l of a standard detergent powder containing a fluorescent whitening agent comprising of:
8.0 % Sodium - Alkylbenzene sulphonate
2.9 % Tallow alkohol-tetradecan-ethyleneglycolether (14 EO units)
3.5 % Na-Soap
43.8 % Na-Triphosphate
7.5 % Na-Silicate
1.9 % Mg-Silicate
1.2 % CMC
0.2 % EDTA
21.2 % Na-Sulfate
0.2 % Fluorescent whitening agent
9.6 % Water
After washing the washed fabrics of A and B are visually compared to the unwashed fabrics of A and B.
Under UV-light the washed piece of B shows a strong fluorescence compared to the washed piece of B, while on the other hand the washed piece of A shows only a very slight fluorescence compared to the unwashed piece.
Using daylight as light source, a difference in hue of the washed and unwashed pieces of B could be observed, whereas no difference in hue could be observed for the washed and unwashed pieces of A.
Thus, the application of the quencher of formula (102) onto the cotton fabric, yields a strong reduction of fluorescence and an avoidance of change in hue, if fluorescent whitening agents exhaust on the fabric during the washing process.
The use of the quencher of formula (47) as a component of the present detergent, also results in the application of this quencher onto the cotton fabric, and also yields a strong reduction of fluorescence and an avoidance of change in hue, if fluorescent whitening agents exhaust on the fabric during the washing process.
