Description

La présente invention concerne l'utilisation en tant qu'agent de nettoyage d'une association d'un mélange d'esters méthyliques d'acides gras en C16-C20 d'huile de ricin avec au moins un glycéride éthoxylé, ainsi que des compositions comprenant une telle association.The present invention relates to the use as a cleaning agent of a combination of a mixture of C 16 -C 20 fatty acid methyl esters of castor oil with at least one ethoxylated glyceride, as well as compositions comprising such an association.

Les produits utilisés couramment pour nettoyer les taches de graisses, d'huiles, d'encres ou encore de dérivés pétroliers sont souvent à base d'hydrocarbures qui sont préparés à partir du pétrole ou sont fortement alcalins.The products commonly used to clean grease stains, oils, inks or petroleum derivatives are often based on hydrocarbons that are prepared from petroleum or are highly alkaline.

Du fait de l'impact néfaste de ces produits sur l'environnement et sur la santé des personnes, des produits plus écologiques ont été développés à base d'huile de tournesol ou de soja. Cependant, ces produits présentent le désavantage de laisser un film brillant et gras après utilisation.Due to the negative impact of these products on the environment and on the health of people, more ecological products have been developed based on sunflower oil or soya. However, these products have the disadvantage of leaving a glossy and greasy film after use.

EP 0 527 315 A2 décrit un produit liquide, sous forme de microémulsion, pour le lavage-nettoyage de blanchets dans des machines pour impression en offset, ledit produit contenant: (a) 5-40 % en poids de glycéride partiel d'acide caprylique ou caprique éthoxylé avec 5 à 50 moles d'éthylène, (b) 1-10 % en poids de 1,2-bis-(oxazolin-2-) éthane, et (c) 10-90 % en poids d'au moins un ester méthylique d'acide gras choisi parmi l'acide caprylique (acide gras en C8), l'acide caprique (acide gras en C10), l'acide laurique (acide gras en C12), l'acide myristique (acide gras en C14) ou l'huile de coprah (qui comprend au moins 40% d'acide laurique - acide gras en C12). EP 0 527 315 A2 discloses a liquid product, in microemulsion form, for washing and cleaning blankets in offset printing machines, said product containing: (a) 5-40% by weight of caprylic or capric acid partial glyceride ethoxylated with 5 to 50 moles of ethylene, (b) 1-10% by weight of 1,2-bis- (oxazolin-2-) ethane, and (c) 10-90% by weight of at least one methyl ester of fatty acid selected from caprylic acid (C 8 fatty acid), capric acid (C 10 fatty acid), lauric acid (C 12 fatty acid), myristic acid (C 14 fatty acid) ) or coconut oil (which contains at least 40% lauric acid - C 12 fatty acid).

FR 2 907 128 décrit des compositions utilisables pour l'élimination de peintures et vernis comprenant au moins un ester d'acide gras et au moins un solvant oxygéné, l'ester d'acide gras pouvant être des esters méthyliques dérivés d'acides gras dérivés du ricin, tel que l'Esterol® A. FR 2 907 128 describes compositions usable for the removal of paints and varnishes comprising at least one fatty acid ester and at least one oxygenated solvent, the fatty acid ester possibly being methyl esters derived from fatty acids derived from castor oil, such than Esterol® A.

US 5,194,173 concerne un agent nettoyant pour éliminer les encres et autres contaminants huileux d'imprimantes, de plaques de métal pour imprimantes et de blanchets comprenant un ester alkylique en C6 ou plus d'acide gras contenant de préférence de 8 à 22 atomes de carbone. US 5,194,173 relates to a cleaning agent for removing inks and other oily contaminants from printers, metal plates for printers and blankets comprising a C 6 or higher fatty acid alkyl ester preferably containing from 8 to 22 carbon atoms.

Les inventeurs ont alors découvert de manière surprenante que les esters méthyliques d'acides gras en C16-C20 d'huile de ricin présentaient un fort pouvoir solvant tout en laissant après utilisation un film satiné et sec qui semble en outre jouer un rôle protecteur, notamment en diminuant l'oxydation des surfaces métalliques. Les esters méthyliques d'acides gras en C16-C20 d'huile de ricin sont de plus biodégradables et ne sont donc pas néfastes pour l'environnement. Le ricin présente l'intérêt supplémentaire de pousser sur des terres non arables.The inventors then surprisingly discovered that the castor oil C 16 -C 20 fatty acid methyl esters had a high solvent power while leaving after use a satin and dry film which also seems to play a protective role. , in particular by reducing the oxidation of the metal surfaces. The methyl esters of C 16 -C 20 fatty acids castor oil are moreover biodegradable and are therefore not harmful to the environment. Castor has the added benefit of growing on non-arable land.

L'utilisation de glycérides éthoxylés permet en outre d'obtenir des compositions émulsionnables et d'augmenter le pouvoir nettoyant d'une telle composition. En effet, en plus d'être un agent émulsionnant, ce type de tensioactif non ionique présente l'avantage d'être un très bon agent anti-tâche. Il possède également les propriétés d'un agent non moussant et/ou viscosant (c'est-à-dire augmentant la viscosité d'une composition).The use of ethoxylated glycerides also makes it possible to obtain emulsifiable compositions and to increase the cleaning power of such a composition. Indeed, in addition to being an emulsifying agent, this type of nonionic surfactant has the advantage of being a very good anti-stain agent. It also has the properties of a non-foaming and / or viscosifying agent (i.e. increasing the viscosity of a composition).

Les compositions comprenant une telle association d'esters méthyliques d'acides gras en C16-C20 d'huile de ricin et d'au moins un glycéride éthoxylé présente l'avantage supplémentaire d'avoir un pH neutre.Compositions comprising such a combination of C 16 -C 20 fatty acid methyl esters of castor oil and at least one ethoxylated glyceride have the additional advantage of having a neutral pH.

Les compositions A, B, C, X et Y ont alors été appliquées par pulvérisation, les compositions A, B et X étant utilisés pures tandis que les compositions émulsionnables C et Y étant utilisées sous forme diluées dans l'eau à 30%.Compositions A, B, C, X and Y were then applied by spraying, compositions A, B and X being used pure while emulsifiable compositions C and Y being used in diluted form in water at 30%.

Après 5 à 10 min, la surface du verre est essuyée avec un papier d'essuyage ouaté, puis avec un papier d'essuyage imbibé de la composition dans le cas du bitume.After 5 to 10 minutes, the surface of the glass is wiped with a wiped wiping paper, then with a wiping paper impregnated with the composition in the case of bitumen.

L'aspect de la surface du verre a alors été observé juste après l'étape d'essuyage (T0) puis après 5 minutes (T5).The appearance of the glass surface was then observed just after the wiping step (T0) and then after 5 minutes (T5).

Dans le cas des compositions émulsionnables C et Y, la surface du verre a alors été rincée à l'eau puis séchée au papier d'essuyage.In the case of emulsifiable compositions C and Y, the surface of the glass was then rinsed with water and then dried with wiping paper.

Figure imgb0003

Les compositions A et X, et C et Y ont été comparées entre elles du fait de leur similitude de formulation. On constate ainsi que les compositions à base d'un mélange d'esters d'acides gras d'huile de ricin ont un meilleur pouvoir dégraissant que les compositions à base d'huile de tournesol.Compositions A and X, and C and Y were compared with one another because of their similarity of formulation. It is thus found that the compositions based on a mixture of castor oil fatty acid esters have a better degreasing power than the compositions based on sunflower oil.

EXEMPLE 4 : Action anti-corrosionEXAMPLE 4: Anti-corrosion action

Trois plaques d'acier de 5 x 10 cm ont été plongées chacune directement dans la composition A, B ou X utilisée pure, puis égouttées. Une quatrième plaque d'acier n'a été plongée dans aucune composition afin de servir de témoin.Three 5 x 10 cm steel plates were each dipped directly into the pure composition A, B or X and then drained. A fourth steel plate was not immersed in any composition to serve as a control.

Les plaques ont ensuite été immergées dans une solution d'acide sulfurique à 0,5% pendant 24h.The plates were then immersed in a 0.5% sulfuric acid solution for 24 hours.

Une fois sorties de la solution acide, les plaques ont été laissées à sécher à l'air libre à température ambiante pendant 1 heure.Once removed from the acidic solution, the plates were allowed to air dry at room temperature for 1 hour.

Les inventeurs ont alors pu faire les observations suivantes :

  • ■ Un dégagement gazeux est observé à la surface de la plaque d'acier dès l'immersion de celle-ci dans la solution acide pour la plaque témoin, après 30 minutes pour la plaque ayant été plongée dans la composition B et après 1 heure pour les plaques ayant été plongées dans la composition A ou X.
  • ■ Concernant le degré d'oxydation, la plaque témoin est complètement oxydée (formation d'oxyde de fer III de couleur rouge orangé), la plaque ayant été plongée dans la composition X est très oxydée mais a été partiellement protégée comparativement à la plaque témoin, et les plaques ayant été plongées dans les compositions A et B sont peu oxydées, seules des piqûres d'oxydations espacées et peu nombreuses étant observées.
The inventors were then able to make the following observations:
  • ■ Gaseous evolution is observed on the surface of the steel plate as soon as it is immersed in the acid solution for the control plate, after 30 minutes for the plate having been immersed in the composition B and after 1 hour for the plates having been immersed in composition A or X.
  • With regard to the degree of oxidation, the control plate is completely oxidized (formation of iron oxide III orange-red), the plate having been immersed in the composition X is highly oxidized but has been partially protected compared to the control plate , and the plates having been immersed in the compositions A and B are little oxidized, only spaced and few oxidation pits being observed.

On constate ainsi que la présence d'un mélange d'esters d'acides gras d'huile de ricin apporte une meilleure protection anti-corrosion que l'huile de tournesol.It is thus found that the presence of a mixture of castor oil fatty acid esters provides a better anti-corrosion protection than sunflower oil.

EXEMPLE 5 : Stabilité de préparations émulsionnéesEXAMPLE 5 Stability of Emulsified Preparations

Les compostions C et Y ont été diluées à 30% avec de l'eau et mélangées pour former une émulsion. Les compositions ont alors été laissées au repos.Compositions C and Y were diluted 30% with water and mixed to form an emulsion. The compositions were then left to stand.

On constate alors que la composition X émulsionnée commence à déphaser après 15 minutes et est complètement séparée en deux phases après 1 heure.It is then found that the emulsified composition X begins to shift after 15 minutes and is completely separated into two phases after 1 hour.

Au contraire, la composition C émulsionnée commence à déphaser après 30 minutes et n'est toujours pas séparée en deux phases après 1 semaine.On the other hand, the emulsified composition C starts to shift out after 30 minutes and is still not separated into two phases after 1 week.

EXEMPLE 6 : Dissolution d'une peinture glycérophtaliqueEXAMPLE 6 Dissolution of a Glycerophthalic Paint

Une peinture glycérophtalique a été déposée sur une plaque de verre et laissée sécher pendant 24h.A glycerophthalic paint was deposited on a glass plate and allowed to dry for 24 hours.

Plusieurs spots de 5 gouttes de chaque composition A ou X ont alors été déposées sur la plaque de verre à intervalles réguliers. Toutes les minutes, un spot de chaque composition (A et X) a été essuyé avec un chiffon de manière à voir si la peinture avait été solubilisée à l'endroit de l'application de la composition.Several spots of 5 drops of each composition A or X were then deposited on the glass plate at regular intervals. Every minute, a spot of each composition (A and X) was wiped with a cloth so as to see if the paint had been solubilized at the location of the application of the composition.

On observe alors que la peinture est totalement solubilisée après 5 minutes avec la composition A alors qu'elle n'est solubilisée qu'après 11 minutes avec la composition X.It is then observed that the paint is completely solubilized after 5 minutes with the composition A whereas it is solubilized only after 11 minutes with the composition X.

EXEMPLE 7 : Aspect de surface après applicationEXAMPLE 7 Surface Appearance after Application

Une surface en plastique moulé granuleux est frottée en aller-retour sur une aire d'environ 10 x 30 cm avec un papier d'essuyage imbibé de la composition A, B ou X. On laisse au repos pendant 30 minutes avant d'observer la surface.A granular molded plastic surface is rubbed back and forth over an area of about 10 x 30 cm with a wiping paper soaked in composition A, B or X. It is allowed to stand for 30 minutes before observing. area.

On constate que la composition à base d'huile de tournesol a laissé un film brillant et gras, tandis que la composition à base d'un mélange d'esters d'acides gras d'huile de ricin a laissé un film satiné, sec et non gras.It is found that the sunflower oil-based composition left a glossy and greasy film, while the composition based on a mixture of castor oil fatty acid esters left a satin film, dry and not fat.

La nature grasse ou non grasse du film a été contrôlée en appliquant un papier sur la surface en plastique et en observant la formation ou non d'une tâche grasse bien reconnaissable sur le papier.The oily or non-greasy nature of the film was controlled by applying paper to the plastic surface and observing the formation or otherwise of a recognizable greasy work on the paper.
