Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cleaning or detergent composition as defined in claim 1 comprising 5 to 30 wt.-% of a phosphate substitute, said phosphate substitute comprising a water-soluble copolymer and a multidentate chelating agent, the composition being free from any phosphates, silicates and cellulose-based compounds.
  • Phosphates bind calcium and magnesium ions and are able to disperse insoluble salts of these ions, e.g. calcium carbonate causing water hardness and leading to spotting on hard surfaces and graying in textiles. Phosphates furthermore can act as alkalinity source for the cleaning or detergent composition, while at the same time being able to buffer the wash liquor above pH 9 in combination with further additives.
  • phosphate substitutes should nevertheless fulfill the different functions of phosphate in cleaning and/or detergent compositions mentioned above, namely (1) complexing of magnesium and calcium ions, (2) dispersing capacity for insoluble salts of these ions, for example calcium carbonate, (3) providing alkalinity, and (4) buffering capacity.
  • zeolites being alumino silicates
  • zeolites have a high binding constant for magnesium and calcium ions and are able to sequester free magnesium and calcium cations.
  • zeolites are insoluble in water and their incorporation in cleaning and detergent compositions can lead to undesirable residues being deposited on the surfaces/fabrics to be cleaned.
  • cleaning and detergent compositions comprising high levels of zeolite builders form undesirable cloudy wash liquors upon contact with water. For this reason zeolites are commonly used in combination with further additives in order to improve their performance and activity.
  • phosphate substitute builders based on zeolites or mixtures of zeolites with further compounds are suitable for various household applications, they are not for institutional and industrial processes, as in these processes, the wastewater generated in the automatic cleaning/washing process is usually cleaned and purified using a membrane filtration step.
  • the purified water obtained from this membrane filtration step can afterwards be reused in further washing cycles, thus reducing the need of fresh water required to be added in the washing cycle, saving resources and reducing costs.
  • WO 2005/118760 and WO 2008/110205 A1 both describe a membrane-friendly pasty soap composition comprising a combination of an acrylic/maleic copolymer and the trisodium salt of nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) as a builder system.
  • NTA nitrilotriacetic acid
  • WO 2007/101470 A1 describes a liquid membrane-compatible detergent composition comprising a mixture of an acrylic-maleic copolymer and the sodium salt of methyl glycine diacetic acid (MGDA) in a ratio of 1:1. While the specific detergents and cleaning compositions described in this application show a good washing performance even in hard water, it is explicitly stated in WO 2007/101470 A1 that fatty acid soaps must not be present in such compositions as they tend to form lime soaps in the presence of hard water which block the membranes of the membrane filtration unit.
  • MGDA methyl glycine diacetic acid
  • a cleaning or detergent composition comprising one or more surfactant components as defined in claim 1, one or more alkalinity sources, water, and 5 to 30 wt.-%, based on the whole composition, of a phosphate substitute, comprising:
  • the substitute exhibits an improved membrane compatibility in comparison to the phosphate substitutes known in the art, in particular with respect to membrane capacity and membrane cleaning results, even in the presence of fatty acids or the soaps derived therefrom.
  • Detergent compositions comprising this substitute showed good cleaning properties as well.
  • the amount of 5 to 30 wt.-% relates to the amount of the complete phosphate substitute mixture, i.e. to the amount of the mixture of the water-soluble copolymer and the chelating agent.
  • the cleaning/detergent composition comprises 15 wt.-% of a phosphate substitute comprising the copolymer and the chelating agent in a ratio of 2:1, then the cleaning/detergent composition comprises 10 wt.-% of the copolymer and 5 wt.-% of the chelating agent, based on the whole composition.
  • the phosphate substitute comprises a water-soluble copolymer.
  • a copolymer is regarded as being water-soluble if at least 100 g, more preferably at least 200 g of the polymer can be completely dissolved in one liter (1 L) of water at a temperature of 23°C.
  • a multidentate chelating agent is a compound capable of donating two or more pairs of electrons from at least two different atoms of different functional groups (complexing groups) in a complexation reaction to form coordinate bonds.
  • the multidentate chelating agent preferably comprises 3 to 6 complexing groups per molecule, which means that it preferably donates at least 3 to 6 pairs of electrons in a complexation reaction to form coordinate bonds.
  • These multidentate chelating agents form water-soluble complexes with Ca 2+ and/or Mg 2+ magnesium ions, thus preventing the formation of insoluble precipitates, which otherwise would block the membrane.
  • the calcium or magnesium complex is regarded as being water-soluble if at least 0.1 mol of this complex can be completely dissolved in one liter of water at a temperature of 23°C.
  • the composition is free from any phosphates, silicates, including zeolites, and cellulose-based compounds.
  • the cleaning/detergent compositions of the present invention are not only environmentally friendly due to the lack of phosphates, but are also suitable for the application in machine dishwashing or laundry washing processes which employ membrane filtration techniques, including reverse osmosis membranes.
  • the composition of the present invention can even be used as a cleaning agent for cleaning soiled, blocked and/or contaminated membranes, including reverse osmosis membranes.
  • the composition of the present invention comprises 6 to 27.5 wt.-%, more preferably 7.5 to 25 wt.-%, and most preferably 9 to 20 wt.-% of the phosphate substitute.

  • the calcium carbonate dispersing capacity referred to herein is determined according to F. Richter and E.W. Winkler, Tensides Surfactants Detergents 1987, 4, 213 - 216 , by dissolving 1 gram of the substance (copolymer) in 100 mL deionized water, neutralizing the solution, if necessary, with 1M NaOH, adding 10 mL of a 10 % Na 2 CO 3 solution, and adjusting to pH 10 by adding NaOH or HCl, as required.
