Definitions

  • the invention relates to a glass surface cleaning product, especially a vehicle, of the type comprising at least one cleaning agent, the product being in solid form and being adapted to form an aqueous cleaning solution.
  • Glazed surfaces refer to both the windshield and the side and rear windows of a land, rail, sea or air vehicle.
  • pellets are known to be diluted in deionized water.
  • US-A-4,502,892 describes such a lozenge that is effervescent.
  • This pellet has a composition that lowers the freezing point of the aqueous solution to about -10 ° C.
  • This pellet comprises a phosphate salt, potentially polluting.
  • the invention proposes, alternatively, an effective product in any season, directly usable in the windshield washer reservoir and avoiding any risk of overturning when filling the tank, while avoiding the use of a phosphate salt.
  • the subject of the invention is a cleaning product for glazed surfaces, in particular of a vehicle, of the type comprising at least one cleaning agent, the product being in solid form and being adapted to form an aqueous cleaning solution.
  • the ingredient, which is in solid form and is suitable for lowering the freezing point of the aqueous solution to below 0 ° C comprises sodium acetate in concentrations of 25 to 50% by weight relative to the total mass and sodium sulphate in concentrations of 5 to 11% by weight relative to the total mass.
  • this product in solid form and easy to implement, allows use in both summer and winter by limiting the risk of freezing the solution, while avoiding the environmental problems related to phosphate.
  • a vehicle whether it is a motor vehicle of the car, bus or truck type, of a rail vehicle, such as a power car or a wagon, of an aircraft or a ship
  • the surfaces glazed, whether front, rear or side, are exposed to soiling such as dust and / or film road.
  • soiling such as dust and / or film road.
  • the vehicles are therefore equipped with a device for cleaning at least some parts of these glazed surfaces.
  • a device comprises, in addition to windscreen wiper blades, a reservoir for a cleaning liquid. This tank supplies pressurized liquid wiper blades. It is frequent that in winter the outlets of the liquid are obstructed by ice. This ice is formed by the solidification of the cleaning liquid.
  • the glass surface cleaning product object of the invention is, before its implementation in the windshield washer reservoir, in a solid and compact form.
  • These include pellets whose dimensions and shapes are adapted to be easily inserted into the washer reservoir, through the neck of the latter. These pellets, cylindrical, have a diameter of about 20 millimeters and a height of about 5 millimeters.
  • the product is in the form of a powder.
  • the product is easy to dissolve, with a concentration or in a predetermined concentration range, in a volume of water corresponding to a capacity commonly encountered for tanks of land vehicles, that is to say between 2 liters and 6 liters.
  • the product is adapted to be dissolved in tap water without requiring distilled or demineralized water as the solvent.
  • the product is adapted to be easily and completely dissolved in the windshield washer reservoir, without requiring stirring, heating or the addition of another ingredient to increase the dissolution.
  • no undissolved solid particle must remain in the final solution because this particle may clog the product outlets.
  • This cleaning product includes different ingredients. It contains at least two ingredients or compounds having a cleaning action, that is to say ingredients for removing the road film and / or dust and eliminate animal stains such as insects or bugs. bird droppings.
  • an anionic surfactant-type compound for example sodium lauryl sulphate
  • a nonionic surfactant-type compound for example ethoxylated fatty alcohol
  • these two compounds are, in this case, associated with a sequestering type compound for complexing the limestone of the dilution water.
  • a sequestering type compound for complexing the limestone of the dilution water.
  • Such a compound also makes it possible to limit the risk of scaling, in the case of hard water. This is, for example, EDTA (ethylene diamine sodium tetraacetate).
  • other products avoiding scale can be used, it is for example sequestering sodium nitrilotriacetate, sodium gluconate or phosphonate type.
  • the anionic surfactant may be of the sulfonate type and the nonionic surfactant of the polyglucoside type.
  • these compounds are chosen to be used in solid form and, in particular, be pelleted easily while having a high solubility.
  • the production of pellets is carried out by techniques known per se, for example using a tablet-type device.
  • At least one and preferably two ingredients or compounds are combined to lower the freezing point of the final aqueous solution below 0 ° C.
  • antifreeze is added in solid form so as to avoid the formation of crystals in the final aqueous solution from 0 ° C.
  • salts such as sodium acetate and, if necessary, sodium sulfate are used. At least one of these salts, in this case sodium acetate, is incorporated in a proportion of up to 50% by weight relative to the total mass.
  • salts such as sodium chloride, calcium chloride or potassium acetate, in proportions ranging from 25 to 50% by weight relative to the total mass.
  • concentration of salts is increased, the freezing point of the final aqueous solution is lowered accordingly.
  • a concentration of 50% of sodium acetate or of potassium acetate makes it possible to lower the freezing point to -4 ° C. with a dosage of one tablet per 2 liters of water.
  • the freezing point is lowered to -8 ° C with two pellets per 2 liters of water or three pellets per 2.5 liters.
  • the maximum useful concentration in salts is about 1% by weight. Indeed, at high concentrations, such a cleaning product, because it is an aqueous solution with a high salt content, leaves, during cleaning, white marks on the glass surface and / or the other parts vehicle on the edge of the glass surface.
  • a non-freezing solution can be obtained at up to -8 ° C using pellets containing 50% by weight of salts relative to the total mass.
  • pellets whose mass is between 4.5 and 6.5 grams, preferably about 6 grams comprising 50% by weight of sodium acetate and 10% by weight of sodium sulfate.
  • the recommended dosage to preserve a liquid solution at -8 ° C is three pellets of product per 2.5 liters of tap water or two tablets per 2 liters of water.
  • adipic acid Alternatively, another weak acid such as adipic acid and another weak base such as sodium carbonate can be used.
  • another weak acid such as adipic acid and another weak base such as sodium carbonate can be used.
  • pellets dissolve directly in the windshield washer reservoir. Indeed, a dissolution in a container prior to its incorporation into the tank is possible, but in this case the risk of overturning the product when it enters the tank reappears.
  • Other compounds may be incorporated into the pellet, for example it may be dyestuffs for tinting the final liquid or odorous substances to give a particular smell to the final product.
  • the product pellet is adapted to be dissolved in tap water.
  • Such a device makes it easy to store and handle the cleaning product without the risk of wasting the product during its incorporation into the tank.
  • a bitterer can be incorporated into the lozenge to limit the risk of ingestion by a child.
  • Such a pellet does not include phosphate, which contributes to the preservation of the environment, phosphate compounds being considered as a potential source of pollution.
