  • PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF PZCM PARTICLES In the methods described herein, many benefits of using PZCMs in corrosion protection agents require that the Zn 2+ ion be chemically available without being soluble. This is termed "zinc lability". Certain physical properties of the PZCM have the potential to impact zinc lability. We have developed more effective corrosion protection agents based on optimizing PZCM zinc lability. Some PZCM physical properties that can impact zinc lability may include, but are not limited to: crystallinity, surface area, and morphology of the particles, and combinations thereof. Other PZCM physical properties that may also impact zinc lability of PZCMs include, but are not limited to: bulk density, surface charge, refractive index, purity level, and combinations thereof.
  • Crystallinity A PZCM having a less crystalline structure may result in a higher relative zinc lability.

  • the PZCM particles in the corrosion protection agent may have any suitable average particle size. In certain non-limiting embodiment, it is has been found that a smaller particle size is directly proportional to an increase in relative zinc lability (%).
  • Suitable average particle sizes include, but not limited to: a range of from about 10 nm to about 100 microns, or from about 10 nm to about 50 microns, or from about 10 nm to about 30 microns, or from about 10 nm to about 20 microns, or from about 10 nm to about 10 microns, and alternatively, from about 100 nm to about 10 microns.

  • ZCLMs ZINC-CONTAINING LAYERED MATERIALS
  • Layered structures are those with crystal growth primarily occurring in two dimensions. It is conventional to describe layer structures as not only those in which all the atoms are incorporated in well-defined layers, but also those in which there are ions or molecules between the layers, called gallery ions (A.F. Wells "Structural Inorganic Chemistry” Clarendon Press, 1975).
  • ZCLMs may have Zn 2+ ions incorporated in the layers and/or as more labile components of the gallery ions. Many ZCLMs occur naturally as minerals.
  • Natural ZCLMs can also occur wherein anionic layer species such as clay-type minerals (e.g., phyllosilicates) contain ion-exchanged zinc gallery ions.
  • Other suitable ZCLMs include the following: zinc hydroxide acetate, zinc hydroxide chloride, zinc hydroxide lauryl sulfate, zinc hydroxide nitrate, zinc hydroxide sulfate, hydroxy double salts, and mixtures thereof.
  • Natural ZCLMs can also be obtained synthetically or formed in situ in a composition or during a production process. Hydroxy double salts can be represented by the general formula:

  • ZCLM GLASS NETWORK STRENGTHENING MECHANISM It is well known that silica glass is a continuous three-dimensional (3D) network of corner-shared Si-0 tetrahedra-lacking symmetry and periodicity (see W. H. Zachariasen, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 54, 3841, 1932). Si 4+ ions are network forming ions.
  • ZCLMs such as synthetic zinc carbonate hydroxide (ZCH) or natural-occurring hydrozincite (HZ) may have the formula: 3Zn(OH) 2 .2ZnC0 3 or Zn 5 (OH) 6 (C0 3 ) 2 , and consist of Zn 2 + ions forming brucite type hydroxide layers with some octahedral vacancies as shown in Fig 1. Some of the Zn 2 + ions are positioned just above and below the vacant sites outside the hydroxide layers in tetrahedral (Td) coordination. Interlayer anions are weakly bound to the Td Zn 2 + ions completing the Td coordination.
  • ZCH synthetic zinc carbonate hydroxide
  • HZ natural-occurring hydrozincite
  • an ADW detergent composition with labile Td Zn 2 + ions is stable at the typical alkaline pH.
  • the cationic charge on the brucite type hydroxide layers is the driving force for interaction with the negatively charged glass surface. This leads to efficient deposition of zinc compounds or Zn 2 + ions on the glass surface such that very low level of ZCLMs are needed to deliver a benefit.
  • zinc compounds or Zn 2 + ions can readily deposit on the glass and fill in the vacancies created by metal ion leaching and silica hydrolysis commonly occurring with ADW products.
  • new zinc compounds or Zn2+ ions introduced as glass network formers, strengthen the glass and prevent glass corrosion during further washes.
  • a corrosion protection agent comprises an effective amount of a ZCLM, such that when the ZCLM is placed in contact with the glassware surface, an amount of zinc compounds or Zn 2 + ions is deposited on and/or within the imperfections or vacancies in the glassware surface.

  • a composition of matter comprises a wash liquor, which comprises a corrosion protection agent comprising an effective amount of a ZCLM, in an automatic dishwashing appliance during at least a part of the wash cycle, wherein from about 0.0001 ppm to about 100 ppm, or from about 0.001 ppm to about 50 ppm, or from about 0.01 ppm to about 30 ppm, and alternatively, from about 0.1 ppm to about 10 ppm of a ZCLM may be present in the wash liquor.

  • Carrier components suitable for preparing a solidified melt are typically non-active components that can be heated to above melting point to form a liquid, and are cooled to form an intermolecular matrix that can effectively trap the desired components.
  • the corrosion protection agent can also be incorporated into a powder, granule, tablets and/or solids placed in water-soluble pouch formulations by spraying a liquid corrosion protection agent (such as a mixture of ZCLM and a liquid carrier) onto the desired components, for example, solid base detergent granules.

  • Another non-limiting embodiment is directed to process of forming a solid corrosion protection agent. This is use for granules, powders, tablets, and/or solids placed in water-soluble pouches.

Since the addition of a ZCLM to the liquid gel detergent composition leaves treated glassware surface IRRAS results unchanged (i.e. no glassware surface damage), increased glassware surface strength is postulated.
