Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for cleaning profiled hard surfaces, especially those coated with zinc silicate, and to compositions suitable for cleaning such surfaces.
- Zinc silicate primers are extensively used throughout industry to coat ferrous metal structures and combat corrosion thereof by acting as a sacrificial anode.
- Examples of such primers typically include compositions formulated with a builder or binder such as a polysiloxane or epoxy resin.
- a builder or binder such as a polysiloxane or epoxy resin.
- primed surfaces are less smooth than the corresponding bare metal. This profiling makes them somewhat difficult to clean which in turn can lead to problems in certain circumstances. For example, when a ship's hold, which has previously contained say a heavy hydrocarbon, is to be used subsequently to transport another cargo, e.g. an alcohol such as methanol, the cleaning cycle can be lengthy and require the entry of humans into a closed, hazardous environment to ensure that cleaning is complete.
- a ship's hold which has previously contained say a heavy hydrocarbon
- another cargo e.g. an alcohol such as methanol
- US 6716804 discloses a three-component cleaning composition comprising an amphoteric surfactant and two different non-ionic surfactants which are ethoxylates of differing water solubilities.
- US 2012/0277140 generally discloses a surfactant system for surface cleaning comprising one or more anionic surfactants and one or more non-ionic surfactants.
- a wide range of candidate surfactants is speculated upon including unspecified EO/PO block copolymers but exemplified are systems in which a combination of two ethoxylate non-ionic surfactants, one of which is water soluble and the other water-insoluble, is also employed.
- an inorganic salt is also included.
- WO96/21712 teaches an industrial or marine cleaner comprising an organic solvent; a blend of two non-ionic ethoxylated surfactants; a phosphate ester hydrotrope; a primary amino acid and water. None of the examples teach the use of a non-ionic surfactant component containing both propoxy and ethoxy units.
- GB2259518 discloses a microemulsion cleaning composition
- a microemulsion cleaning composition comprising an anionic surfactant; a non-ionic surfactant system consisting of two ethoxylates; an aromatic hydrocarbon and water.
- US5707948 discloses a cleaning composition comprising two ethoxylated non-ionic surfactants with differing numbers of ethoxy units; an optional alkoxylated solvent with a short chain alkyl group; a suds suppressor comprising a fatty acid and a secondary alcohol; potassium carbonate and water.
- a liquid industrial hard surface cleaning composition characterised in that it is water dilutable and comprises a mixture of three surfactant types consisting of (a) from 5 to 50% by weight of an anionic surfactant, (b) from 5 to 50% by weight of a first non-ionic surfactant comprised of both ethoxy and propoxy groups and having the general formula R'-(AO) n -OH wherein R' is C 9 to C 20 alkyl, each AO unit is either -OCH 2 CH 2 - or -OCH 2 CH(CH 3 )-; the molar ratio [-OCH 2 CH(CH 3 )-]/[-OCH 2 CH 2 -] is in the range up to 8 and n is greater than 6 and (c) from 5 to 50% by weight of a second non-ionic surfactant having the general formula, R'-(OCH 2 CH 2 ) n -OH wherein R' is C 9 to C 20 alkyl,

- the use of the cleaning composition of the present invention is generally applicable to the cleaning of all fouled hard surfaces which have become profiled (i.e. roughened) by virtue of use, corrosion or being coated with a corrosion-resistant layer (e.g. a primer). Its use is beneficial where the hard surface includes a profiled, sacrificial coating of zinc silicate or an equivalent and is especially so for cleaning the dirty surfaces of coated stainless or mild steel storage tanks. It can be used to particular advantage to clean the cargo tanks or holds of ships where the space is confined and discharge of the waste cleaning composition is environmentally problematic. Any method of using the cleaning composition can be employed to effect cleaning although typically it will be brought into contact with the dirty surface using an industrial sprayer assembly which is adapted to collect and recirculate the liquid.
- the surfaces can at the same time be brushed or scrubbed. Thereafter, once a suitable period of cleaning time has elapsed, the cleaned surfaces can be rinsed with clean water and/or a sample of the next cargo to be used.
- the cleaning composition is sprayed onto the dirty surfaces at a temperature of less than 100°C, typically from 60 to 80°C.
- the cleaning composition of the present invention which is designed for industrial as opposed to personal care or household use, is especially suitable for removing contaminants comprising high molecular weight hydrocarbons such as diesel, gas-oil, kerosene_and vegetable oils from hard surfaces of the type mentioned above.
- Typical vegetable oils which can be removed with the cleaning compositions of the present invention include palm oil, soya bean oil, rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, peanut oil, olive oil, cottonseed oil, palm kernel oil and coconut oil along with refined fractions thereof.
- Test panels made of stainless steel or mild steel coated with an industry standard zinc silicate coating were immersed in ultra-low sulphur diesel for a period of three days to simulate the contamination occurring in a cargo tank. After removal and being allowed to drain, the panels were tested in a rig designed to remove as much of the residual diesel adhering to the panel as possible under a standard set of cleaning conditions.
- the cleaning composition was applied to the test panel by means of a sprayer adapted for continuous liquid recycle thereby enabling the contaminated panel surfaces to be continuously contacted with the cleaning composition for a period of 2 hours. During this time, the temperature of the cleaning composition was maintained at 70°C.
- the panels washed with clean water and the residual diesel on the panels determined by immersing the panels in a standard volume of methanol at room temperature for 5 minutes and then measuring the amount of diesel extracted using UV/visible spectroscopy.
- the amount of diesel in the methanol was quantified as an average residual hydrocarbon reading (ARHR) indicative of the effectiveness of the cleaning composition.
- ARHR average residual hydrocarbon reading

- the ARHR reading was 28.
- the cleaning composition (pH 7-8) was a 0.8% by weight aqueous solution of a cleaning composition concentrate comprising (by volume):
- the cleaning composition concentrate comprised 25% Serdet DLK-9/30 ® , 45% Lutensol XP90 ® and 30% Ethylan 1005 ® and was used at a 1% dilution level in water.
- the ARHR reading was 40.
- a binary cleaning composition concentrate comprising 30% Hostapur SAS30 ® (sodium secondary C 14-17 alkyl sulphonate; ex Hostapur) and 70% Lutensol XP90 ® was employed at 1% dilution.
- the ARHR reading was 48.
- the cleaning composition concentrate comprised 25% by weight Biosoft D-40, 45% by weight Berol 185 and 30% by weight Ethylan 1005 together with 0.1% by weight of NFA antifoam.
