Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the use of hydroxamic acid and its corresponding salts in laundry detergent compositions with low levels of zeolite and phosphate builder, leading to improved detergency and stain removal.
  • Improvement of stain removal is one of the constant goals of the detergents industry, as this may lead to savings on the use of chemicals in detergent compositions, or may lead to washing at lower temperature, and/or for shorter times, and therewith saving energy. Therefore there is still an interest to improve the detergency effect, especially the primary detergency effect of laundry detergent compositions on textile stains, for example particulate stains, such as stains comprising soils or clay, or plant based stains, such as grass. Especially particulate stains are difficult to remove during the laundering process.
  • Hydroxamic acids are a class of chemical compounds in which a hydroxylamine is inserted into a carboxylic acid.
  • the general structure of a hydroxamic acid is the following: in which R 1 is an organic residue, for example alkyl or alkylene groups.
  • the hydroxamic acid may be present as its corresponding alkali metal salt, or hydroxamate.
  • hydroxamates may conveniently be formed from the corresponding hydroxamic acid by substitution of the acid hydrogen atom by a cation:
  • L + is a monovalent cation such as for example the alkali metals (e.g. potassium, sodium), or ammonium or a substituted ammonium.
  • Hydroxamic acids and hydroxamates are known to be useful as metal chelators. They have also been used in detergent compositions in order to improve bleaching performance, as well as use as a builder substance.
  • EP 388 389 A2 discloses bleach free under built liquid detergent compositions containing hydroxamic acids and their derivatives which assist in the removal of bleachable wine stains from fabrics during laundering.
  • Hydroxamic acids as in formula 1 are disclosed, wherein R 1 represents an optionally substituted straight- or branched chain C 5 -C 21 alkyl or C 5 -C 21 alkenyl group or an optionally-substituted phenyl group, and R 2 represents hydrogen, or an optionally substituted C 1 -C 6 alkyl group, or an optionally-substituted phenyl group.
  • One of the examples shows an improved bleaching performance when a hydroxamate is used in a detergent composition in hard water (20° German hardness, which is about 143 milligram calcium per litre).
  • the examples use C 12 linear, C 12 branched, C 13 branched and C 18 hydroxamates in detergent formulations comprising mixtures of anionic surfactant and nonionic surfactant.
  • examples I, II and IV there is an excess of nonionic surfactant of at least 1.25 to 1 and in example III there is 100% anionic surfactant.
  • the liquids also contain at least 6 wt% ethanol, which assists in solubilising the long chain hydroxamates.
  • EP 384 912 A2 discloses the use of hydroxamic acids and their derivatives as stabilizers for peroxygen bleach compounds in built, mainly granular, detergent compositions. Fully formulated detergent powder examples with 20 wt% zeolite used C 12 , C 13 and C 12 branched hydroxamates. C 18 was also used.
  • US 4,874,539 discloses polymeric carboxy hydroxamic acids useful as detergent additives, especially as metal ion chelating agents, and also leading to improved tea stain removal from a test cloth, as compared to a detergent powder without a metal ion chelating agent.
  • US 4,863,636 discloses liquid detergent compositions comprising one or more detersive surfactants and one or more of N-hydroxyimide or carboxy hydroxamic acid detergent additives. These compounds serve as active metal ion chelants, leading to improved stain removal.
  • WO 97/48786 discloses a multicomponent system for use with detergent substances, containing an oxidation catalyst, a suitable oxidant, at least one mediator that has been selected from the group of, among others, hydroxamic acids and hydroxamic acid derivatives, a co-mediator, and optionally a low quantity of at least one free amine of each inserted mediator. This system leads to improved bleach function of the detergent, and less consumption of a mediator.
  • GB 1317445 discloses detergent compositions comprising an alkali-metal salt of a hydroxamic acid. The function of this salt is to prevent the corrosion of copper and copper alloys that is utilised in the construction of the washing machines.
  • Laundry detergents need to be able to remove everyday dirt and stains that are commonly found in a wash load.
  • One type of clay that is particularly resistant to removal by surfactants alone is red clay, such as red pottery clay or Red Georgia clay. This is a particulate soil stain.
  • the present invention provides a laundry detergent composition according to claim 1.
  • references to a number of carbon atoms include mixed chain length materials provided that some of the hydroxamate material falls within the ranges specified and the ratios and amounts are determined by excluding any material falling outside of the specified range.
  • Such concentrated formulations comprise at least 20 wt% of the detersive surfactant system, preferably at least 30 wt% and more preferably over 40 wt%.
  • the preferred hydroxamates are those where R 2 is Hydrogen and R 1 is C 8 to C 14 alkyl, preferably normal alkyl, most preferably saturated.
  • the detergent composition is preferably used in an aqueous wash liquor, but may comprise one or more solvents suitable for use for domestic laundry purposes.
  • the improved stain removal occurs during the main wash of the laundry process, i.e. preferably the laundry detergent composition in which the hydroxamates are used is a main wash product.
  • the wash liquor is preferably free of formate salts. Furthermore, it is preferably free from bleach, especially peroxygen bleach.
  • the composition may comprise from 1 to 15 wt% soap.
  • the preferred soaps are made from saturated fatty acids.
  • compositions comprise at least 0.5 wt% of soil release polymer. This improves the multiwash performance of the detergent system for the removal of the clay. Inclusion of at least 0.5 wt% anti redeposition polymer is also beneficial due to the very high efficiency of primary detergency soil removal meaning that there is an increased level of soil in the wash liquor, which must then be prevented from redeposition onto the same or a different piece of fabric.
  • the preferred ratio of hydroxamate to detersive surfactant system for optimum particulate red clay soil removal lies in the range 1:7 to 1:13. An even more preferred range of ratios being 1:9 to 1:11 parts by weight.
  • the preferred ratio of anionic to nonionic surfactant for particulate red clay soil removal is at least 1:1, more preferably at least 3:2. Preferably, it is at most 9:1. So a most preferred range is 1:1 to 9:1, or 3:2 to 9:1.
  • compositions are particularly suitable for use on particulate stains such as soils and clays, especially red clay, and also surprisingly grass.
  • the invention also extends to the use of 0.5 to 20 wt% hydroxamic acid or its corresponding hydroxamate of the structure: wherein R 1 is a C 8 normal alkyl group, and R 2 is a hydrogen atom, in a laundry detergent composition, for improving the particulate soils stain removal from a textile substrate, wherein the composition further comprises a detersive surfactant system comprising anionic surfactant and nonionic surfactant at a concentration from 3 to 80 wt%; and optionally other ingredients to 100 wt%.
  • a detersive surfactant system comprising anionic surfactant and nonionic surfactant at a concentration from 3 to 80 wt%; and optionally other ingredients to 100 wt%.
  • the hydroxamate may be incorporated within the laundry detergent compositions in any suitable fashion within the knowledge of a person of ordinary skill in the art.
  • the stained fabric is treated with the laundry detergent composition comprising hydroxamate according to the invention and the primary detergency is the measured stain removal by the laundry composition on the stain.
  • This is a separate process to so-called soil release using a polymer, which is treatment of fabric with a polymer (through a wash or other such treatment), with subsequent staining of the fabric, the soil release polymer having the effect of the easier removal of the stain.
  • the textile/fabric substrates used can be any typical textile/fabric substrate, such as cotton (woven, knitted & denim), polyester (woven, knitted & micro fibre), nylon, silk, polycotton (polyester/cotton blends), polyester elastane, cotton elastane, viscose rayon, acrylic or wool.
  • Particularly suitable textile/fabric substrates are cotton, polycotton and polyester substrates.
  • Particulate stains are stains comprising for example dirt, soil, clay, mud or soot. They are predominately solid in nature and come into contact with fabrics in the course of their regular use.
  • R 1 is chosen from the group consisting of C 4 , C 5 , C 6 , C 7 , C 8 , C 9 , C 10 , C 11 , or C 12 or C 14 normal alkyl group, most preferably R 1 is at least a C 8-14 normal alkyl group.
  • R 1 is at least a C 8-14 normal alkyl group.
  • the potassium salt is particularly useful.
  • the hydroxamate acts by binding to metal ions that are present in the soil on the fabric. This binding action, which is, in effect, the known sequestrant property of the hydroxamate is not, in itself, of any use to remove the soil from the fabric.
  • the key is the "tail" of the hydroxamate i.e. the group R 1 minus any branching that folds back onto the amate Nitrogen via group R 2 .
  • the tail is selected to have an affinity for the surfactant system.
  • the soil removal ability of an already optimised surfactant system is further enhanced by the use of the hydroxamate as it, in effect, labels the difficult to remove particulate material (clay) as "soil” for removal by the surfactant system acting on the hydroxamate molecules now fixed to the particulates via their binding to the metal ions embedded in the clay type particulates.
  • the detersive surfactants will adhere to the hydroxamate, leading overall to more surfactants interacting with the fabric, leading to better soil release.
  • the hydroxamic acids act as a linker molecule facilitating the removal and suspension of the particulate soil from the fabric into a wash liquor and thus boosting the primary detergency.
  • This enhancing of the primary detergency of surfactant systems is especially relevant when using concentrated liquid detergent compositions, as the pH during the laundering process is relatively low (pH 7.5-8) as compared to traditional laundering processes with particulate detergent compositions (pH 9-10.5).
  • the lower pH during the laundering process with liquid detergent compositions may lead to reduced soil release, as the surface charges of the soils are less negative as compared to the higher pH during the conventional well built and buffered laundering processes, achieved with conventional zeolite or phosphate built powder products.
  • This surface charge of the soil may lead to increased repellence of the surfactants by the soil, possibly leading to reduced release of the soil.
  • the hydroxamates are used in liquid detergent compositions, and more preferred the detersive surfactant concentration in said liquid detergent compositions is from 20 to 80 wt%.
  • the hydroxamates have a higher affinity for transition metals, like iron, than for alkaline earth metals like calcium and magnesium, therefore the hydroxamic acid primarily acts to improve the removal of soil on fabric, especially particulate soils, and not additionally as a builder for calcium and magnesium. This selectively is especially beneficial if the laundering composition is underbuilt; especially when it comprises less than 5 wt% zeolite or phosphate builder.
  • the laundry detergent composition in which the hydroxamate is used comprises a detersive surfactant system at a concentration from 3 to 80 wt%.
  • a detersive surfactant system we mean that the surfactants therein provide a detersive, i.e. cleaning effect to textile fabrics treated as part of a laundering process.
  • Other surfactants which are not detersive surfactants, can be used as part of the composition.
  • the detersive surfactant is present at a level of from 5 to 60 wt%, more preferably from 10 to 50 wt%. Even more preferably, the detersive surfactant system comprises at least 20, or 30 or even 40 wt% of the composition.
  • any surfactant may be used as detersive surfactants, including anionic, nonionic, cationic, and amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactants, or combinations of these, provided that there is anionic and nonionic surfactant present in the range of ratios specified above.
  • Cationic surfactant may optionally be present as part of the detersive surfactant.
  • Anionic surfactant is present at a level of from 0.1 to 50 wt%, preferably from 1 to 40 wt%, more preferably from 1.5 to 25 wt%.
  • Nonionic surfactant is incorporated at a level of from 0.1 to 50 wt%, preferably from 1 to 40 wt%, more preferably from 1.5 to 25 wt%.
  • the ratio of anionic surfactant to nonionic surfactant is from 19:1 to 1:1.1, more preferably from 9:1 to 1:1.
  • nonionic and anionic surfactants of the surfactant system may be chosen from the surfactants described in 'Surface Active Agents' Vol. 1, by Schwartz & Perry, Interscience 1949 , Vol. 2 by Schwartz, Perry & Berch, Interscience 1958, in the current edition of 'McCutcheon's Emulsifiers and Detergents' published by Manufacturing Confectioners Company or in Tenside-Taschenbuch', H.

  • Alternative equipment would be the Chemithon the 'Turbo Tube' dryer system wherein a high active surfactant paste is heated and metering to a multi tube, steam-jacketed drying vessel.
  • 'Concentrated' or 'compact' powders may be prepared by mixing and granulating processes, for example, using a high-speed mixer/granulator, or other non-tower processes.
  • Tablets may be prepared by compacting powders, especially 'concentrated' powders.
  • SRI is a measure of how much of a stain on textile is removed during a washing process.
  • a SRI of 100 means complete removal of a stain.
  • ⁇ E after wash is the difference in L a b colour space between the clean (unwashed) fabric and the stain after wash. So a ⁇ E after wash of zero means a stain that is completely removed. Therefore, a SRI aw of 100 is a completely removed stain.
  • the clean (or virgin) fabric is an "absolute standard" which is not washed. For each experiment, it refers to an identical piece of fabric to that which the stain is applied. Therefore, its point in L a b colour space stays constant.
  • the potassium salt of octyl hydroxamate was prepared by the method disclosed by Raghavan and Fuerstenau (Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 1975, Vol. 50, p. 319-330 ).
  • a wash liquor was formulated, containing as surfactants primary alkyl sulfate (PAS, anionic, ex Kao Emal PH10) and alcohol ethoxylate (nonionic C 12 -7EO, Neodol 25-7 ex Shell), as shown in table 1 at the indicated concentrations. Additionally the wash liquor contained NaCl at a concentration of 5 mM. Water hardness was 6°FH (soft water, about 24 milligram calcium per litre), and water temperature was 30°C. No builder or sequestrants were added to the composition, as these ingredients were not required due to the soft water used. Table 1 Concentrations of surfactants and hydroxamate in wash liquors.
