Definitions

  • the present invention relates to non-ionic surfactant emulsions and to the formulation of structured surfactant suspending systems. It is particularly relevant to the formulation of laundry detergents especially those used for industrial and institutional cleaning.
  • Suspending solids in liquids presents a problem. If the solids differ in density from the liquid they will tend either to sediment or float. Increasing the viscosity of the liquid can retard, but not prevent such separation, and high viscosities are generally undesirable. Colloidal systems, in which the suspended particles are sufficiently small to experience Brownian motion, e.g. less than 1 micron, may be kinetically stable. However the difficulty or undesirability of comminuting some solids to such sizes, and the impossibility of mamtaining many of them at this level in the face of crystal growth or agglomeration, limits the use of colloidal suspensions.
  • One method of suspension which permits even relatively large particles to be stably suspended is structured surfactant.
  • the term covers systems in which a surfactant mesophase, usually a lamellar or G-phase, alone or more usually interspersed with an aqueous phase, provides a yield stress which is sufficient, when the system is at rest, to immobilise any suspended particles, but which is sufficiently low to allow the system to be poured like a normal liquid.
  • Such systems may display very low apparent viscosities when stirred, pumped or poured and yet be capable of maintaining particles, sometimes of millimetre or larger size, indefinitely in suspension.
  • G-phases also known as L ⁇ phases
  • L ⁇ phases can usually be identified by their characteristic textures under the polarising microscope and/or by x-ray diffraction, which is often able to detect evidence of lamellar symmetry.
  • Such evidence may comprise first, second and sometimes third order
  • G-phases either at ambient or at some higher temperature when mixed with water in certain specific proportions.
  • G-phases cannot usually be used as structured suspending systems. Useful quantities of solid render them unpourable and smaller amounts tend to sediment.
  • Dispersed lamellar phases are two phase systems in which the surfactant bilayers are arranged as parallel plates to form domains of G-phases which are interspersed with an aqueous phase to form an opaque gel-like system. They are described in EP O 086 614.
  • Spherulitic phases comprise well defined spheroidal bodies, usually referred to in the art as spherulites, in which surfactant bilayers are arranged as concentric shells.
  • the spherulites usually have a diameter in the range 0.1 to 15 microns and are dispersed in an aqueous phase in the manner of a classical emulsion, but interacting to form a structured system.
  • Spherulitic systems are described in more detail in EP O 151 884.
  • Many structured surfactant systems are intermediate between dispersed lamellar and spherulitic, involving both types of structure. Usually systems having a more spherulitic character are preferred because they tend to have lower viscosity.
  • a variant on the spherulitic system comprises prolate or rod shaped bodies sometimes referred to as batonets.
  • a third type of structured surfactant system comprises an expanded G-phase. It differs from the other two types of structured system in being essentially a single phase, and from conventional G-phase in having a wider d-spacing.
  • Conventional G- phases have a d-spacing of about 5 to 7 nanometers. Attempts to suspend solids in such phases result in stiff pastes which are either non-pourable, unstable or both.
  • the M phase comprises surfactant molecules arranged to form cylindrical rods of indefinite length. It exhibits hexagonal symmetry and a distinctive texture under the polarising microscope. Typical M phases have so high a viscosity that they appear to be curdy solids. M phases near the lower concentration limit (the Li/M phase boundary) may be pourable but have a very high viscosity and often a mucous-like appearance. Such systems tend to form expanded G-phases particularly readily on addition of sufficient electrolyte.
  • Expanded G-phases are described in more detail in EP O 530 708. In the absence of suspended matter they are translucent, unlike dispersed lamellar or spherulitic phases which are necessarily opaque. They are optically anisotropic and have shear dependent viscosity. In this they differ from Lj phases which are micellar solutions and which include microemulsions. Li phases are clear, optically isotropic and substantially Newtonian. They are unstructured and cannot suspend solids. Some L t phases exhibit small angle x-ray diffraction spectra which show evidence of hexagonal symmetry. Such phases usually have concentrations near the L]/M phase boundary and may form expanded G-phases on addition of electrolyte.
  • Certain amphiphilic polymers have been found to act as deflocculants of structured surfactants.
  • One type of deflocculant polymer exhibits cteniform (comb-shaped) architecture with a hydrophilic backbone and hydrophobic side chains or vice versa.
  • a typical example is a random copolymer of acrylic acid and a fatty alkyl acrylate.
  • Cteniform deflocculants have been described in a large number of patents, for example WO-A-9106622.
  • a more effective type of deflocculant has surfactant rather than cteniform architecture, with a hydrophilic polymer group attached at one end to a hydrophobic group.
  • Such deflocculants are typically telomers formed by telomerising a hydrophilic monomer with a hydrophobic telogen.
  • Examples of surfactant deflocculants include alkyl thiol polyacrylates and alkyl polyglycosides. Surfactant deflocculants are described in more detail in EP O 623 670.
  • a disadvantage of both surfactant and cteniform deflocculants is that the concentration required to deflocculate to optimum viscosity is critical within fairly narrow limits and varies with temperature. Either too little or too much deflocculant causes instability and/or excessive viscosity. As a result the deflocculated systems tend to separate if the temperature varies significantly. In particular there is a tendency to form a clear bottom layer on prolonged standing.
  • Structured surfactants have been applied to the problems of suspending: water insoluble or sparingly soluble builders in laundry detergent; antifoams and enzymes in laundry detergents and other surfactant systems; abrasives in hard surface cleaners; pesticides and oils in agrochemical preparations (EP O 388 239 and EP O 498 231); rock cuttings in drilling muds (EP O 430 602); dyestuffs in dyebath concentrates and printing inks (EP O 472 089); talcs, oils and other cosmetic ingredients in personal care formulations.
  • a further kind of temperature instability is often observed with more concentrated structured surfactants especially deflocculated structured surfactants. It typically involves sedimentation of the suspended solid when the composition is stored under warm conditions. We now believe that this separation may be due to a tendency for a phase change in the surfactant from dispersed lamellar or spherulitic to L at elevated temperature.
  • An ideal laundry detergent for institutional use would combine: high surfactant levels and in particular high levels of non-ionic surfactant, which has been found particularly effective for removing soil; high alkalinity, to saponify fatty soil; and high levels of builder, which improve the performance of the surfactant by counteracting the effects of calcium in the water.
  • the composition must be homogeneous and pourable and the concentration as high as possible.
  • surfactants with electrolytes at high concentrations to form stable compositions. It has proved particularly difficult to achieve this with non-ionic surfactants which are not capable of forming stable solutions at high alkalinity or in the presence of electrolyte, except at very low concentrations which are too low to be commercially acceptable.
  • a mixture of a highly ethoxylated non-ionic surfactant and an alkali metal thiocyanate can form highly concentrated emulsions which are temperature stable and also improves the temperature stability of deflocculated structured surfactants. It is readily dispersed in aqueous systems, which are rendered less sensitive to temperature variations thereby.
  • the mixture is particularly useful for preventing instability in concentrated industrial and institutional detergent. We believe that the mixture inhibits the transition from a G-phase or structured system to an L 2 phase by elevating the phase transition temperature.
  • Our invention provides a mixture of an ethoxylated non-ionic surfactant having an average of from 20 to 100 ethylene-oxy groups per molecule with from 0.1 to 150 parts by weight of a water soluble thiocyanate.
  • the invention provides a concentrated non-ionic surfactant emulsion comprising water, and said mixture in a concentration adapted to form an emulsion or G phase at a temperature below 40°C
  • our invention provides a structured surfactant composition capable of suspending solids which comprises a structuring surfactant, water and, if required, electrolyte in relative proportions adapted to form a dispersed lamellar and/or spherulitic structured surfactant system, capable of forming an L 2 phase at some temperature below 50°C and, optionally sufficient of a deflocculant to inhibit the flocculation of said system characterised in that said composition comprises an effective amount of a phase stabiliser which is a mixture of (i) an ethoxylated non-ionic surfactant having from 20 to 100 ethylene oxy groups and (ii) a water soluble thiocyanate in a relative molar proportion (i):(ii) of from 1 : 200 to 20:1.
  • a phase stabiliser which is a mixture of (i) an ethoxylated non-ionic surfactant having from 20 to 100 ethylene oxy groups and (ii) a water soluble thiocyanate in

  • said water is present in a proportion of from 20 to 60%.
  • said electrolyte comprises alkali. THE PHASE STABILISER

  • the surfactant (i) be present in an amount of from 0.1 to 3% by weight of the total composition, preferably 0.2 to 2%.

  • the thiocyanate is preferably present in an amount greater then 0.05%, more preferably greater than 0.1%, e.g. greater than 0.5%. The upper limit is not critical but concentrations greater than about 10% are unlikely to provide additional benefit. Concentrations greater than 2% are generally uneconomic.

  • the amount of water is typically greater than 15%, preferably greater than 20%, especially greater than 25% and usually greater than 30% based on the total weight of the composition.
  • the structuring surfactant is preferably all non-ionic since in some applications inclusion of anionic surfactant can adversely affect performance. However where anionic surfactant can be tolerated its inclusion has the advantage of enabling higher total concentrations of surfactant to be more easily achieved.
