Description
- The present invention relates to a composition and a method for treating substrates, in particular hard surfaces, to make the substrate hydrophilic; and for imparting anti-fogging / anti-condensation properties onto said surface.
- Condensation of water onto surfaces, such as bathroom mirrors, glass shower partitions, but also refrigerator and freezer containers, is perceived as annoying by present day consumers.
- Without wishing to be bound by a theory it is thought that water that condensates onto hydrophobic surfaces forms tiny water droplets that causes the formation of a fog layer on said surface. This causes fogging on e.g. bathroom mirrors, which is perceived as a nuisance by the consumer. It is thought that making the surface hydrophilic cause water to condensate as a thin film, rather than water droplets, thus not giving the foggy appearance.
- Similarly in sub-zero environments, such household freezer devices, seed crystals of ice are formed on surfaces of metals, glass, plastics etc, which tend to grow with time and form a layer of frost, ice or snow-like material.
- Surface treatment compositions in the field of ware washing are known.
US2008/0274930 discloses ware washing compositions comprising surfactant, an alkalinity source, and corrosion inhibitor; and mentions the use of aluminium III salts, and polymers. - Similarly tooth treatment compositions are known.
US5844019 discloses a tooth cleaning composition comprising carboxylic acid, quaternary ammonium salts and aluminium III salts. - The object of the present invention is to provide a composition for rendering a surface less susceptible for vapour deposition.
- It is another object to provide for a composition for rendering a surface hydrophilic.
- It is yet another object to provide a composition that renders a surface less susceptible to fogging.
- It is yet another object to provide a composition that makes surfaces less susceptible to frost deposition in sub-zero conditions
- We have found that a composition comprising poly aluminium chloride, a polycarboxylate polymer and a weak acid, when applied to a surface, renders said surface super hydrophilic, thus causing the repellence of small water droplets to provide and anti-fogging effect.
- Accordingly, in a first aspect, the present invention provides a surface treatment composition comprising 0.05 - 5% of poly aluminium chloride, 0.05 - 5% of a carboxylic polymer, 0.01 - 5% of a weak organic acid, and aqueous liquid; wherein the pH of the composition is between 7 and 9.5; and wherein the PAC : carboxylic polymer ratio is at least 2:5.
- Accordingly, in a second aspect, the invention provides a process for treating a substrate (e.g. fabrics, hard surfaces) comprising the steps of treating the substrate with a composition according to the invention, and leaving the substrate to dry.
- Accordingly, in a second aspect, the invention provides a bottled cleaning composition comprising the compositions according to the invention.
- In the context of the present invention, by "glass surface" is meant any surface having a vitreous or vitrified surface, including but not limited to glass and vitreous tiles.
- These and other aspects, features and advantages will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art from a reading of the following detailed description and the appended claims. For the avoidance of doubt, any feature of one aspect of the present invention may be utilised in any other aspect of the invention. The word "comprising" is intended to mean "including" but not necessarily "consisting of" or "composed of." In other words, the listed steps or options need not be exhaustive. It is noted that the examples given in the description below are intended to clarify the invention and are not intended to limit the invention to those examples per se. Similarly, all percentages are weight/weight percentages unless otherwise indicated. Except in the operating and comparative examples, or where otherwise explicitly indicated, all numbers in this description indicating amounts of material or conditions of reaction, physical properties of materials and/or use are to be understood as modified by the word "about". Numerical ranges expressed in the format "from x to y" are understood to include x and y. When for a specific feature multiple preferred ranges are described in the format "from x to y", it is understood that all ranges combining the different endpoints are also contemplated.
- In a first aspect, the invention relates to a composition for treating a surface comprising poly aluminium chloride, poly acrylic acid polymer, a weak organic acid and water; and wherein the pH of the composition is between 7 and 9.5, and wherein the PAC to polymer ratio is at least 2:5.
- Poly aluminium chloride is a known polyelectrolyte. The poly aluminium chloride (PAC) may be defined as a non-stoichiometric oligomer of aluminium hydroxychloride having general formula [Al(OH)aClb]n where the value of a is preferably in the range 1.5 to 1.9 and b preferably in the range 1.1 to 1.5, wherein a+b=3. The aluminium content is typically 12-20%.
- Commercial PAC may have small amount of impurities including traces of SO4 2-, CO3 2-; NO3 -, Br-, HCO3 -, and HSO4 -; but such impurities are typically present in a concentration of less than 2%, more preferably less than 1%, still more preferably less than 0.5% or even less than 0.1 % by weight of the PAC.

- Preferred carboxylic polymers (or polycarboxylates) are polyacrylates, polymaleates, polyacetates, polyhydroxyacrylates, polyacrylate/polymaleate and polyacrylate/ polymethacrylate copolymers, aminopolycarboxylates and polyacetal carboxylates.
- Poly(acrylic acid) or PAA is the most preferred polymer. The monomer of poly(acrylic acid) is acrylic acid. In a water solution at neutral pH, many of the side chains of PAA will lose their protons and acquire a negative charge. PAA is thus understood to be a polymer of repeating units of -[CH2-CH(COOH)]n-. Preferably the poly acrylic polymers having a molecular weight of at least 1 000 u (u = atomic mass unit, also known as Dalton, D or Da), still more preferably at least 10 000 u, even more preferably at least 100 000 u, but typically not more than 2 000 000 u, or even not more than 1 000 000 u.

- The composition is preferably an aqueous liquid. However, compositions, wherein the aqueous liquid is a solvent and water mixture, are also contemplated. The solvents are preferably lower alcohols, more preferably methanol, ethanol and/or isopropanol.
- Although the presence of solvent is somewhat detrimental to the desired hydrophilicity, the benefit is that the surface dries faster.
- Hence the solvent is typically present in the aqueous liquid in a concentration of between 1 and 20%, more preferably between 2 and 10%, more preferably between 3 and 8% by weight of the liquid.
- The invention provides a process for treating a substrate, comprising the steps in sequence of applying the composition according to the invention to a hard surface and leaving the surface to dry. The surface is preferably not rinsed between these steps.
- In a preferred embodiment the surface may be wiped after application of the composition and then be left to dry.
- The surface is found to be more hydrophilic after treatment, and thereby less susceptible to deposition of fog or frost.
- The composition may be packaged in the form of any commercially available liquid composition, typically in the form of a bottle containing the liquid.
- The composition is preferably applied using a trigger spray applicator. A trigger spray application enables fast and easy use for the consumer and additionally it brings a suitable amount of air into the composition, which aides in the foam formation. Accordingly, the compositions of the invention may be stored in and dispensed by any suitable means, but spray applicators are particularly preferred. Pump dispensers (whether spray or non-spray pumps) are also possible. Thus, the present invention provides a container for a liquid hard surface cleaner, the container comprising a reservoir containing the hard surface cleaning composition of the invention, and spray dispenser for dispensing the composition in the form of a spray. The spray dispenser is preferably a trigger spray but may be any mechanical means for ejecting the liquid in spray or aerosol form.
