Definitions
- This invention relates to lamellar gel detergent liquids.
- LAS linear alkylbenzenesulphonate
- AES alkylethoxy sulphate
- LAS linear alkylbenzenesulphonate
- AES alkylethoxy sulphate
- Stability is also compromised as the amount of ethoxylation of the AES drops from 3 to 1 and as the amount of total surfactant in the liquid drops below 20 wt%.
- the formulator would prefer to use AES with lower ethoxylation as it is less expensive and more widely available.
- Formulations with high levels of citrate or other electrolyte to generate the lamellar phase are less desirable because this electrolyte does not contribute significantly to the cleaning performance, so it is adding cost and chemicals for no consumer perceivable benefit. Such addition is also undesirable from an environmental perspective.
- the use of lower levels of surfactant system is also desirable from an environmental standpoint and the formulation space freed up by this reduction (and the possible loss of cleaning power) can be rebalanced by the inclusion of high weight efficiency performance additives. This approach to formulation of detergent liquids and information about suitable performance additives is described in WO09153184 .
- US2011220537 relates to a similar problem.
- the solution adopted is to add an external structurant to the liquid.
- the external structurant is a specific pH tunable amido gellant. Because they are externally structured the liquids do not contain electrolyte at high enough levels to make them into internally structured lamellar gels. All the liquids exemplified are isotropic liquids with a gelled structuring premix of the amido compound added to thicken them as the pH is adjusted. These liquids are not stable lamellar gels and the cost and complexity of the special external structuring system and its pH sensitivity makes such a solution unsuited for many commercial detergent liquid applications, especially hand wash applications where near neutral pH is an advantage and formulation cost is a major issue.
- US6277803 discloses a series of examples of electrolyte gelled high active detergent liquids (35% AD) comprising a surfactant system of alkyl olefin sulphonate (AOS), LAS and amine oxide (AO). AES is absent in the examples. High active compositions form stable gels relatively easily.
- Comparative Example A uses a low level of amine oxide and an excess of AES over LAS. This should be an isotropic liquid although it might be an unstable lamellar gel if electrolyte were added. We have found that stable lamellar gels are very difficult to make when the LAS / AES ratio is less than 1:1. There is an excess of AES as in Comparative Example A.
- compositions that must comprise 10 to 20% of AES (claim 1). Only example 1 has this much AES.
- the mixed LAS system used in example 1 gives a total of 12.02, the AES level is 11.5. Thus this composition does have an excess of LAS over AES.
- the amount of the optional amine oxide in example 1 is 5%, which is high. There is no electrolyte present at a high enough level to make this into a lamellar gel. This is supported by the information that it could not suspend gelatin beads. The level of amine oxide is too high and the level of electrolyte too low to form a stable gel.
- US6972278 (Unilever), relates to lamellar gel detergent liquids that are gelled by addition of fatty acid.
- the exemplified compositions have an excess of AES over LAS and no AO.
- Nonionic (NI) is typically present too.
- the presence of high levels of fatty acid suppresses foam generation which makes these liquids unsuitable for hand wash and top loading automatic applications.
- US4615819 (Unilever), describes high active detergent liquids, some comprising LAS and AES, which are forced into a lamellar gel phase by adding high levels of urea as gelling agent. No amine oxide was used. Adding high levels of gelling agent adds to cost and makes it more difficult to include other useful ingredients into the compositions. There is also consumer resistance to use of urea.
- US7297674 (Unilever), describes electrolyte gelled low active LAS / nonionic detergent liquids which have mono or polyethylene glycol dialkyl ether added to improve their clarity.
- the examples in this document do not comprise the AES that is desired for hand wash. It is suggested to be possible to add AES but there is no disclosure that this may cause problems for maintenance of stable lamellar gels and no suggestion to add any amine oxide to the compositions. Furthermore the nonionic content would make the exemplified liquids unsuitable for hand wash where foam generation is desired.
- US7022657 (Unilever), relates to detergent liquids that are gelled by addition of a fatty alcohol.
- Comparative composition D without the fatty alcohol gelling agent, is isotropic. It has more AES than LAS and also contains a relatively high level of nonionic.
- Composition C is gelled by addition of the fatty alcohol. There is no suggestion to add amine oxide to these compositions. Fatty alcohols suppress foam and are undesirable in hand wash compositions.
- “Gel” as used herein means a shear thinning, lamellar gel, with a pouring viscosity in the range of from 100 to 5000 mPas (milli Pascal seconds), more preferably less than 3000 mPas, most preferably less than 1500 mPas, and which also has a critical shear stress higher than 10 Pa, more preferably higher than 15 Pa, most preferably higher than 20 Pa, but not exceeding 100 Pa.
- gel in the art is frequently not well defined. The most common, loose definition, however, is that a gel is a thick liquid. Nevertheless, a thick liquid may be a Newtonian fluid, which does not change its viscosity with the change in flow condition, such as honey or syrup. This type of thick liquid is very difficult and messy to dispense.
- a different type of liquid gel is shear-thinning, i.e. it is thick at low shear condition (e.g. at rest) and thin at high flow rate condition.
- Shear-thinning rheological properties can be measured with a viscometer or a sophisticated rheometer and the correct measurement spindle. The plot of viscosity vs. shear rate will reveal whether the sample is shear thinning or not.
- pouring viscosity means viscosity measured at a shear rate of 20 s -1 . It can be read off the plot of viscosity vs. shear rate.
- the critical shear stress is the shear stress at which viscosity drops dramatically.
- Lamellar means that liquid crystals within the gel have lipid layers (sheets). Lamellar structures can be detected by polarized light microscope. The majority of these lamellar structures remain in a mixture of sheet and vesicles. Stable lamellar phases are in fact the results of a mixed mesophase. This is where the lamellar phase is coexistent with another elongated micelle phase (isotropic).
- lamellar gels means gels that have lamellar phase structure, either alone or intermixed with isotropic phase (known as L1).
- a lamellar gel shear thinning aqueous detergent liquid comprising from 5 to 25 wt%, preferably 8 to 18 wt%, of a detergent surfactant system, which surfactant system comprises:

- the composition comprises less than 0.5 wt%, more preferably, zero nonionic surfactant.
- the composition comprises less than 1 wt% soap/fatty acid.
- the SLES 1 EO is the more difficult to make into a stable gel.
- the invention is particularly useful to allow the lower ethoxylation of SLES 1 EO and SLES 2EO to be utilised in the compositions.
- the invention is particularly useful for compositions which comprise SLES 1 EO.
- Addition of the amine oxide provides stable LAS rich relatively low (10% and 15%) active detergent (AD) lamellar gels using as little as 2 wt% citrate as lamellar generator electrolyte.

- a particularly preferred class of polymer for use in the composition is polyethylene imine, preferably modified polyethylene imine.
- Polyethylene imines are materials composed of ethylene imine units -CH2CH2NH- and, where branched, the hydrogen on the nitrogen is replaced by another chain of ethylene imine units.

- the EPEI comprises a polyethyleneimine backbone of about 300 to about 10000 weight average molecular weight; wherein the modification of the polyethyleneimine backbone is intended to leave the polymer without quaternisation.
- Such nonionic EPEI may be represented as PEI(X)YEO where X represents the molecular weight of the unmodified PEI and Y represents the average moles of ethoxylation per nitrogen atom in the polyethyleneimine backbone.

- the bleach catalyst is typically incorporated at a level of about 0.0001 to about 10 wt%, preferably about 0.001 to about 5 wt%.
- a free oil perfume is preferably used.
- a particularly preferred option is to use an encapsulated perfume.
- the perfume is not only encapsulated but also that the encapsulated perfume is provided with a deposition aid to increase the efficiency of perfume deposition and retention on fabrics.
- the deposition aid is preferably attached to the encapsulate by means of a covalent bond, entanglement or strong adsorption, preferably by a covalent bond or entanglement.
- compositions may contain one or more other ingredients.

- the compositions may further comprise colorants, pearlisers and/or opacifiers, and shading dye.
- Shading dye can be used to improve the performance of the compositions.
- Preferred dyes are violet or blue. It is believed that the deposition on fabrics of a low level of a dye of these shades, masks yellowing of fabrics.

- Shading dye can be used in the absence of fluorescer, but it is especially preferred to use a shading dye in combination with a fluorescer, for example in order to reduce yellowing due to chemical changes in adsorbed fluorescer.
- the detergent compositions may also optionally contain further organic detergent builder or sequestrant material.
- organic detergent builder or sequestrant material examples include the alkali metal, succinates, malonates, carboxymethyl succinates, carboxylates, polycarboxylates and polyacetyl carboxylates. Specific examples include sodium, potassium and lithium salts of oxydisuccinic acid, mellitic acid, benzene and polycarboxylic acids.
- DEQUEST TM organic phosphonate type sequestering agents sold by Monsanto and alkanehydroxy phosphonates.
- suitable organic builders include the higher molecular weight polymers and copolymers known to have builder properties.
- such materials include appropriate polyacrylic acid, polymaleic acid, and polyacrylic/polymaleic acid copolymers and their salts, for example those sold by BASF under the name SOKALAN TM .
- the further organic builder materials may comprise from about 0.5% to 20 wt%, preferably from 1 wt% to 10 wt%, of the composition.
- the preferred further builder level is less than 10 wt% and preferably less than 5 wt% of the composition.
- a preferred sequestrant is HEDP (1-Hydroxyethylidene -1,1,-diphosphonic acid), for example sold as Dequest 2010. Also suitable but less preferred as it gives inferior cleaning results is Dequest® 2066 (Diethylenetriamine penta(methylene phosphonic acid or Heptasodium DTPMP).
- buffers are MEA, and TEA. If present they are preferably used in the composition at levels of from 1 to 15 wt%.
- compositions may comprise visual cues of solid material that is not dissolved in the composition.
- Preferred visual cues are lamellar cues formed from polymer film and possibly comprising functional ingredients that may not be as stable if exposed to the alkaline liquid. Enzymes and bleach catalysts are examples of such ingredients. Also perfume, particularly microencapsulated perfume.
- the liquids may be packaged as unit doses in polymeric film adapted to be insoluble until added to the wash water. More preferred the liquids are supplied in multiuse plastics packs with a top or bottom closure. A dosing measure may be supplied with the pack either as a part of the cap or as an integrated system.
- composition was then stability tested for one week (Freeze Thaw: 21°C down to -15°C).
- compositions without any AO lamellar gel stabiliser are comparative (Tables 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11).
- compositions with AO are detailed in Tables 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12.
- the amount of EO in the SLES seems to be important for the formation of lamellar liquids (3EO>2EO>1 EO). Without AO no composition was stable at 10 wt% AD with 1 EO. In the absence of AO, high levels of citrate were needed to stabilise the lamellar gels using 2EO and 3EO. This level of citrate is undesirable for commercial products.
