Definitions
- the present invention relates to solid rinse aid compositions, and methods for manufacturing and using the same.
- the rinse aid compositions generally include a novel solidification system and surfactants designed for use in pressed or extruded solid formation.
- the rinse aids can be used in aqueous use solutions on articles including, for example, cookware, dishware, flatware, glasses, cups, hard surfaces, healthcare surfaces, glass surfaces, vehicle surfaces, etc. but are particularly useful for metal surfaces.
- Rinse agents may also be used in healthcare environments, typically for cleaning a medical cart, cage, instrument, or device.
- cleaning a medical cart, cage, instrument, or device includes contacting the medical cart, cage, instrument, or device with an aqueous cleaning composition and, rinsing or contacting the same with a rinse solution comprising a dissolved rinse aid.
- the method can also involve antimicrobial treatment of the medical cart, cage, instrument, or device by contacting with an aqueous antimicrobial composition formed by dissolving or suspending a solid antimicrobial composition, preferably a solid quaternary ammonium or solid halogen antimicrobial composition.
- rinse agents to reduce the formation of spotting have been, commonly been added to water to form an aqueous rinse that is sprayed on the hard surfaces after cleaning is complete.
- the precise mechanism through which rinse agents work is not established.
- One theory holds that the surfactant in the rinse agent is absorbed on the surface at temperatures at or above its cloud point, and thereby reduces the solid-liquid interfacial energy and contact angle. This leads to the formation of a continuous sheet which drains evenly from the surface and minimizes the formation of spots.
- high foaming surfactants have cloud points above the temperature of the rinse water, and, according to this theory, would not promote sheet formation, thereby resulting in spots.
- high foaming materials are known to interfere with the operation of warewashing machines.
- the document US 8 383 570 B2 discloses a GRAS preservative system including sodium bisulfate and a combination of specific organic acids that act in a synergistic capacity.
- the preservative further has the benefit of a higher melting point of approximately 110° or higher making it particularly suited for solid wash applications.
- a combination of sodium bisulfate, sorbic acid, and benzoic acid produced better preservative properties than other organic acid combinations or each acid by itself.
- a rinse aid composition may generally include an effective amount of a sheeting agent component, and an effective amount of a defoamer component.
- the sheeting agent component may include one or more alcohol ethoxylate compounds that include an alkyl group that includes 12 or fewer carbon atoms.
- the defoamer component may include an ethylene oxide containing surfactant configured for reducing the stability of foam that may be created by the one or more alcohol ethoxylate compounds of the sheeting agent in an aqueous solution.
- US 6 432 906 A1 discloses that a stable, substantially homogeneous, solid block cleaning composition can be made for general purpose cleaning and for cleaning hard surfaces such as floors of varying surface composition.
- Unique solid block materials contain substantially useful concentrations of liquid acid materials, but are in the form of a stable solid.
- the acidic solid detergent can be dispensed using a water spray creating a concentrate which can then be diluted in proper ratio to form the use-solution.
- Such use-solutions may be applied to remove a variety of soils subject to acid cleaning including soils containing water hardness components, inorganic soils, and the like.
- the acid cleaners can be used alone or in combination with other cleaners in a cleaning protocol for a variety of hospitality, industrial or institutional cleaning locations having a broad spectrum of contaminated soil residue.

- a rinse aid composition comprising: at least one a graft polymer comprising an acrylic acid backbone and alkoxylated side chains, said polymer comprising a mo
- rinse aids are currently known, each having certain advantages and disadvantages.
- alternative rinse aid compositions especially alternative rinse aid compositions that are environmentally friendly (e.g., biodegradable), non-corrosive to metal, can handle high total dissolved solids, can handle high water hardness and are easily manufactured as solids.
- the invention includes a solid rinse aid that is particularly designed for pressed or extrusion solid formation and which is effective for leaving spotless surfaces after rinsing, especially rinsing metals without corrosion.

- a solid rinse agent composition of the present invention thus includes a solid acid for hardness control, from 50 wt.% to 80 wt.% of a short chain alkyl benzene and/or alkyl naphthalene according to claim 1, preferably sodium xylene sulfonate (SXS) or sodium cumene sulfonate, and a surfactant system.
- the surfactant is a non-ionic surfactant.
- composition of the invention is particularly beneficial for use with hard water and also high total dissolved solid (TDS) conditions.
- the rinse aid concentrate is provided in a solid form. This is typically prepared by the steps of combining the solid materials then mixing preservative, additional surfactant, water, and dyes. The material is then pressed or extruded to form a solid. In general, it is expected that the solid concentrate will be diluted with water to provide the use solution that is then supplied to the surface of a substrate.
- the use solution preferably contains an effective amount of active material to provide spotless surfaces by rinse water. It should be appreciated that the term "active materials" refers to the nonaqueous portion of the use solution that functions to reduce spotting and filming.
- Some example methods for using the rinse aid generally include the step of providing the rinse aid, mixing the rinse aid into an aqueous use solution, and applying the aqueous use solution to a substrate surface.
- the solid acid is present in an amount of from 5 wt.% to 40 wt. %.

- Amphoteric surfactants can be synthesized by methods known to those of skill in the art. For example, 2-alkyl hydroxyethyl imidazoline is synthesized by condensation and ring closure of a long chain carboxylic acid (or a derivative) with dialkyl ethylenediamine. Commercial amphoteric surfactants are derivatized by subsequent hydrolysis and ring-opening of the imidazoline ring by alkylation--for example with ethyl acetate. During alkylation, one or two carboxy-alkyl groups react to form a tertiary amine and an ether linkage with differing alkylating agents yielding different tertiary amines.
- Long chain imidazole derivatives having application in the present invention generally have the general formula: wherein R is an acyclic hydrophobic group containing from 8 to 18 carbon atoms and M is a cation to neutralize the charge of the anion, generally sodium.
- Commercially prominent imidazoline-derived amphoterics that can be employed in the present compositions include for example: Cocoamphopropionate, Cocoamphocarboxy-propionate, Cocoamphoglycinate, Cocoamphocarboxyglycinate, Cocoamphopropyl-sulfonate, and Cocoamphocarboxy-propionic acid.

- N-alkylamino acids are readily prepared by reacting RNH2, in which R.dbd.C 8 -C 18 straight or branched chain alkyl, fatty amines with halogenated carboxylic acids. Alkylation of the primary amino groups of an amino acid leads to secondary and tertiary amines. Alkyl substituents may have additional amino groups that provide more than one reactive nitrogen center. Most commercial N-alkylamine acids are alkyl derivatives of beta-alanine or beta-N(2-carboxyethyl) alanine.
- Examples of commercial N-alkylamino acid ampholytes having application in this invention include alkyl beta-amino dipropionates, RN(C 2 H 4 COOM) 2 and RNHC 2 H 4 COOM.

Description
- The present invention relates to solid rinse aid compositions, and methods for manufacturing and using the same. The rinse aid compositions generally include a novel solidification system and surfactants designed for use in pressed or extruded solid formation. The rinse aids can be used in aqueous use solutions on articles including, for example, cookware, dishware, flatware, glasses, cups, hard surfaces, healthcare surfaces, glass surfaces, vehicle surfaces, etc. but are particularly useful for metal surfaces.
- Mechanical warewashing machines have been common in the institutional and household environments for many years. Such automatic warewashing machines clean dishes using two or more cycles which can include initially a wash cycle followed by a rinse cycle, but may also utilize soak, pre-wash, scrape, sanitizing, drying, and additional wash cycles. Rinse agents are conventionally used in warewashing applications to promote drying and to prevent the formation of spots.
- Rinse agents may also be used in healthcare environments, typically for cleaning a medical cart, cage, instrument, or device. Typically, cleaning a medical cart, cage, instrument, or device includes contacting the medical cart, cage, instrument, or device with an aqueous cleaning composition and, rinsing or contacting the same with a rinse solution comprising a dissolved rinse aid. The method can also involve antimicrobial treatment of the medical cart, cage, instrument, or device by contacting with an aqueous antimicrobial composition formed by dissolving or suspending a solid antimicrobial composition, preferably a solid quaternary ammonium or solid halogen antimicrobial composition.
- In either household, institutional, or healthcare environments, rinse agents to reduce the formation of spotting have been, commonly been added to water to form an aqueous rinse that is sprayed on the hard surfaces after cleaning is complete. The precise mechanism through which rinse agents work is not established. One theory holds that the surfactant in the rinse agent is absorbed on the surface at temperatures at or above its cloud point, and thereby reduces the solid-liquid interfacial energy and contact angle. This leads to the formation of a continuous sheet which drains evenly from the surface and minimizes the formation of spots. Generally, high foaming surfactants have cloud points above the temperature of the rinse water, and, according to this theory, would not promote sheet formation, thereby resulting in spots. Moreover, high foaming materials are known to interfere with the operation of warewashing machines.

The preservative further has the benefit of a higher melting point of approximately 110° or higher making it particularly suited for solid wash applications. According to the invention it has surprisingly been found that a combination of sodium bisulfate, sorbic acid, and benzoic acid produced better preservative properties than other organic acid combinations or each acid by itself. -

The acidic solid detergent can be dispensed using a water spray creating a concentrate which can then be diluted in proper ratio to form the use-solution. Such use-solutions may be applied to remove a variety of soils subject to acid cleaning including soils containing water hardness components, inorganic soils, and the like. The acid cleaners can be used alone or in combination with other cleaners in a cleaning protocol for a variety of hospitality, industrial or institutional cleaning locations having a broad spectrum of contaminated soil residue. - Further,
US 2011/126858 A1 discloses a method of rinsing cleaned dishware comprising the steps of: (a) cleaning dishware in an automatic dishwasher; and (b) during the rinse cycle of said automatic dishwasher, rinsing said dishware with a rinse aid composition comprising: at least one a graft polymer comprising an acrylic acid backbone and alkoxylated side chains, said polymer comprising a molecular weight of from about 2,000 to about 20,000, said graft polymer comprising from about 20 wt % to about 50 wt % of an alkylene oxide; an acid; a non-ionic surfactant; and optionally at least one component selected from the group consisting of dispersant polymer, perfume, hydrotrope, binder, carrier medium, antibacterial active, dye, zinc carbonate, zinc chloride, and mixtures thereof. - A number of rinse aids are currently known, each having certain advantages and disadvantages. There is an ongoing need for alternative rinse aid compositions, especially alternative rinse aid compositions that are environmentally friendly (e.g., biodegradable), non-corrosive to metal, can handle high total dissolved solids, can handle high water hardness and are easily manufactured as solids.
- The invention includes a solid rinse aid that is particularly designed for pressed or extrusion solid formation and which is effective for leaving spotless surfaces after rinsing, especially rinsing metals without corrosion. According to the invention, a solid acid is combined with a short-chain alkylbenzene and alkyl naphthalene sulfonate class of hydrotopes, selected from the group consisting of sodium xylene sulfonate, sodium toluene sulfonate, sodium cumene sulfonate, potassium toluene sulfonate, ammonium xylene sulfonate, calcium xylene sulfonate, sodium alkyl naphthalene sulfonate, and/or sodium butylnaphthalene sulfonate. Said short-chain alkylbenzene and alkyl naphthalene sulfonate class of hydrotopes act as a solidification agent as well as a surfactant and are combined with at least one nonionic surfactant.
- A solid rinse agent composition of the present invention thus includes a solid acid for hardness control, from 50 wt.% to 80 wt.% of a short chain alkyl benzene and/or alkyl naphthalene according to
claim 1, preferably sodium xylene sulfonate (SXS) or sodium cumene sulfonate, and a surfactant system. The surfactant is a non-ionic surfactant. - The composition of the invention is particularly beneficial for use with hard water and also high total dissolved solid (TDS) conditions.
- The rinse aid concentrate is provided in a solid form. This is typically prepared by the steps of combining the solid materials then mixing preservative, additional surfactant, water, and dyes. The material is then pressed or extruded to form a solid. In general, it is expected that the solid concentrate will be diluted with water to provide the use solution that is then supplied to the surface of a substrate. The use solution preferably contains an effective amount of active material to provide spotless surfaces by rinse water. It should be appreciated that the term "active materials" refers to the nonaqueous portion of the use solution that functions to reduce spotting and filming.
- Some example methods for using the rinse aid generally include the step of providing the rinse aid, mixing the rinse aid into an aqueous use solution, and applying the aqueous use solution to a substrate surface.
- In some embodiments, the solid acid is present in an amount of from 5 wt.% to 40 wt. %. The short chain alkyl benzene or alkyl naphthalene sulfonate is present 50wt % to 80 wt % and the nonionic surfactant is present from 5 wt. % to 20 wt. % for pressed solid and from 5 wt. % to 30 wt. % for an extruded solid. The solid rinse aid can also in some embodiments and as enumerated hereinafter, include an additional surfactant, a processing aids such as polyethylene glycol or urea, as well as other components such as a chelant, preservative, fragrant, or dye.
- In some aspects, the present invention is related to methods for rinsing surfaces in a warewashing application or surfaces involved in healthcare. The methods comprise providing an aqueous rinse aid composition, diluting the rinse aid composition with water to form an aqueous use solution; and applying the aqueous use solution to the surfaces.

These surfactants include a hydrophobic group containing from 6 to 30 carbon atoms and a polysaccharide, e.g., a polyglycoside, hydrophilic group containing from 1.3 to 10 saccharide units. Any reducing saccharide containing 5 or 6 carbon atoms can be used, e.g., glucose, galactose and galactosyl moieties can be substituted for the glucosyl moieties. (Optionally the hydrophobic group is attached at the 2-, 3-, 4-, etc. positions thus giving a glucose or galactose as opposed to a glucoside or galactoside.) The intersaccharide bonds can be, e.g., between the one position of the additional saccharide units and the 2-, 3-, 4-, and/or 6-positions on the preceding saccharide units. - 12. Fatty acid amide surfactants suitable for use in the present compositions include those having the formula: R6CON(R7)2 in which R6 is an alkyl group containing from 7 to 21 carbon atoms and each R7 is independently hydrogen, C1-C4 alkyl, C1-C4 hydroxyalkyl, or --(C2H4O)xH, where x is in the range of from 1 to 3.

A preferred chemical of this class includes Surfonic PEA 25 Amine Alkoxylate.
- The treatise Nonionic Surfactants, edited by Schick, M. J., Vol. 1 of the Surfactant Science Series, Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York, 1983 is an excellent reference on the wide variety of nonionic compounds generally employed in the practice of the present invention. A typical listing of nonionic classes, and species of these surfactants, is given in
U.S. Pat. No. 3,929,678 issued to Laughlin and Heuring on Dec. 30, 1975 . Further examples are given in "Surface Active Agents and Detergents" (Vol. I and II by Schwartz, Perry and Berch). - The solid rinse aid composition can in some embodiments includes water. Water many be independently added to the solid rinse aid composition or may be provided in the solid rinse aid composition as a result of its presence in a material that is added to the solid rinse aid composition. For example, materials added to the solid rinse aid composition include water or may be prepared in an aqueous premix available for reaction with the solidification agent component(s). Typically, water is introduced into the solid rinse aid composition to provide the composition with a desired viscosity prior to solidification, and to provide a desired rate of solidification.
- In general, it is expected that water may be present as a processing aid and may be removed or become water of hydration. It is expected that water may be present in the solid composition. In the solid composition, it is expected that the water will be present in the solid rinse aid composition in the range of between 0 wt.% and 5wt.%. For example, water is present in embodiments of the solid rinse aid composition in the range of between .1 wt.% to 5 wt.%, or further embodiments in the range of between .5 wt.% and 4 wt.%, or yet further embodiments in the range of between 1 wt.% and 3 wt.%. It should be additionally appreciated that the water may be provided as deionized water or as softened water.
- The components used to form the solid composition can include water as hydrates or hydrated forms of the binding agent, hydrates or hydrated forms of any of the other ingredients, and/or added aqueous medium as an aid in processing. It is expected that the aqueous medium will help provide the components with a desired viscosity for processing. In addition, it is expected that the aqueous medium may help in the solidification process when is desired to form the concentrate as a solid.
- As indicated above, the solid rinse aid may contain other functional materials that provide the desired properties and functionality to the solid composition. Functional materials include a material that when dispersed or dissolved in a use solution, provides a beneficial property in a particular use. Examples of such a functional material include preservatives, chelating/sequestering agents; bleaching agents or activators; sanitizers/anti-microbial agents; activators; builder or fillers; anti-redeposition agents; optical brighteners; dyes; odorants or perfumes; stabilizers; processing aids; corrosion inhibitors; fillers; solidifiers; additional hardening agent; additional surfactants, solubility modifiers; pH adjusting agents; humectants; hydrotropes; or a broad variety of other functional materials, depending upon the desired characteristics and/or functionality of the composition. In the context of some embodiments disclosed herein, the functional materials, or ingredients, are optionally included within the solidification matrix for their functional properties. Some more particular examples of functional materials are discussed in more detail below.
- The solid rinse aid composition may also include effective amounts of preservatives. Often, overall acidity and/or acids in the solid rinse aid composition and the use solution serves a preservative and stabilizing function.
- Some embodiments of the inventive solid rinse aid composition also include a preservative system for acidification of the solid rinse aid including sodium bisulfate and organic acids. In at least some embodiments, the solid rinse aid has pH of 2.0 or less and the use solution of the solid rinse aid has a pH of at least pH 4.0. Typically, sodium bisulfate is included in the solid rinse aid composition as an acid source. In certain embodiments, an effective amount of sodium bisulfate and one or more other acids are included in the solid rinse aid composition as a preservative system. Suitable acids include for example, inorganic acids, such as HCl and organic acids. In certain further embodiments, an effective amount of sodium bisulfate and one or more organic acids are included in the solid rinse aid composition as a preservative system. Suitable organic acids include sorbic acid, benzoic acid, ascorbic acid, erythorbic acid, citric acid, etc... Preferred organic acids include benzoic and ascorbic acid. Generally, effective amounts of sodium bisulfate with or without additional acids are included such that a use solution of the solid rinse aid composition has a pH that shall be less than pH 4.0, often less pH 3.0, and may be even less than pH 2.0.
- In other embodiments, the solid rinse aid composition includes sanitizers/anti-microbial agents, in addition to or in alternative the preservative system described above. Suitable sanitizers/anti-microbial agents are described below.
- The preservative component, if present is typically an amount of the solid rinse aid component in an amount of from 0.05 to 20 wt % preferably 0.1 to 15 wt % and most preferably 1 wt % to 10 wt %.
- The solid rinse aid composition may also include effective amounts of chelating/sequestering agents, also referred to as builders. In addition, the rinse aid may optionally include one or more additional builders as a functional ingredient. In general, a chelating agent is a molecule capable of coordinating (i.e., binding) the metal ions commonly found in water sources to prevent the metal ions from interfering with the action of the other ingredients of a rinse aid or other cleaning composition. The chelating/sequestering agent may also function as a threshold agent when included in an effective amount.
- Often, the solid rinse aid composition is also phosphate-free and/or aminocarboxylate-free. In embodiments of the solid rinse aid composition that are phosphate-free, the additional functional materials, including builders exclude phosphorous-containing compounds such as condensed phosphates and phosphonates.
- Suitable additional builders include polycarboxylates. Some examples of polymeric polycarboxylates suitable for use as sequestering agents include those having a pendant carboxylate (--CO2) groups and include, for example, polyacrylic acid, maleic/olefin copolymer, acrylic/maleic copolymer, polymethacrylic acid, acrylic acid-methacrylic acid copolymers, hydrolyzed polyacrylamide, hydrolyzed polymethacrylamide, hydrolyzed polyamide-methacrylamide copolymers, hydrolyzed polyacrylonitrile, hydrolyzed polymethacrylonitrile, hydrolyzed acrylonitrile-methacrylonitrile copolymers, and the like.
- In embodiments of the solid rinse aid composition which are not aminocarboxylate-free may include added chelating/sequestering agents which are aminocarboxylates. Some examples of aminocarboxylic acids include, N-hydroxyethyliminodiacetic acid, nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), N-hydroxyethyl-ethylenediaminetriacetic acid (HEDTA) (in addition to the HEDTA used in the binder), diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), and the like.
- In embodiments of the solid rinse aid composition which are not phosphate-free, added chelating/sequestering agents may include, for example a condensed phosphate, a phosphonate, and the like. Some examples of condensed phosphates include sodium and potassium orthophosphate, sodium and potassium pyrophosphate, sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium hexametaphosphate, and the like. A condensed phosphate may also assist, to a limited extent, in solidification of the composition by fixing the free water present in the composition as water of hydration.

- bis(hexamethylene)triamine(pentamethylenephosphonic acid) (HO2)POCH2N[(CH2)6 N[CH2PO(OH)2]2]2 ; and phosphorus acid H3PO3. In some embodiments, a phosphonate combination such as ATMP and DTPMP may be used. A neutralized or alkaline phosphonate, or a combination of the phosphonate with an alkali source prior to being added into the mixture such that there is little or no heat or gas generated by a neutralization reaction when the phosphonate is added can be used.
- For a further discussion of chelating agents/sequestrants, see Kirk-Othmer, Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, Third Edition, and volume 23, pages 319-320. The chelant/sequestering agent, if present may be in an amount of from 0.1 wt. % to 30 wt. %, preferably from 1 wt. % to 25 wt. % and more preferably from 5 wt. % to 20 wt. %. In some embodiments, the solid acid may also perform as a chelant.
- In some embodiments the solid rinse aid composition can include additional processing aids. Examples of processing aids include an amide such as stearic monoethanolamide or lauric diethanolamide, or an alkylamide, and the like; a solid polyethylene glycol, or a solid EO/PO block copolymer, urea and the like; starches that have been made water-soluble through an acid or alkaline treatment process; various inorganics that impart solidifying properties to a heated composition upon cooling, and the like. Such compounds may also vary the solubility of the composition in an aqueous medium during use such that the rinse aid and/or other active ingredients may be dispensed from the solid composition over an extended period of time. The composition may include a secondary hardening agent in an amount in the range of up to 10 wt%. In some embodiments, secondary hardening agents are may be present in an amount in the range of 0-10 wt%, often in the range of 0 to 5 wt% and sometimes in the range of 0 to.5 wt-%.
- In addition to the nonionic surfactants specified above, the composition may also include other surfactants as enumerated hereinafter.
- Certain embodiments of the invention contemplate the use of one or more anionic surfactants which electrostatically interact or ionically interact with the positively charged polymer to enhance foam stability. Anionic surfactants are surface active substances which are categorized as anionics because the charge on the hydrophobe is negative; or surfactants in which the hydrophobic section of the molecule carries no charge unless the pH is elevated to neutrality or above (e.g. carboxylic acids). Carboxylate, sulfonate, sulfate and phosphate are the polar (hydrophilic) solubilizing groups found in anionic surfactants. Of the cations (counter ions) associated with these polar groups, sodium, lithium and potassium impart water solubility; ammonium and substituted ammonium ions provide both water and oil solubility; and, calcium, barium, and magnesium promote oil solubility.
- As those skilled in the art understand, anionics are excellent detersive surfactants and are therefore traditionally favored additions to heavy duty detergent compositions as well as rinse aids. Generally, anionics have high foam profiles which are useful for the present foaming cleaning compositions. Anionic surface active compounds are useful to impart special chemical or physical properties other than detergency within the composition.
- The majority of large volume commercial anionic surfactants can be subdivided into five major chemical classes and additional sub-groups known to those of skill in the art and described in "Surfactant Encyclopedia," Cosmetics & Toiletries, Vol. 104 (2) 71-86 (1989).
- The first class includes acylamino acids (and salts), such as acylgluamates, acyl peptides, sarcosinates (e.g. N-acyl sarcosinates), taurates (e.g. N-acyl taurates and fatty acid amides of methyl tauride), and the like. The second class includes carboxylic acids (and salts), such as alkanoic acids (and alkanoates), ester carboxylic acids (e.g. alkyl succinates), ether carboxylic acids, and the like. The third class includes sulfonic acids (and salts), such as isethionates (e.g. acyl isethionates), alkylaryl sulfonates, alkyl sulfonates, sulfosuccinates (e.g. monoesters and diesters of sulfosuccinate), and the like. A particularly preferred anionic surfactant is alpha olefin sulfonate. The fourth class includes sulfonic acids (and salts), such as isethionates (e.g. acyl isethionates), alkylaryl sulfonates, alkyl sulfonates, sulfosuccinates (e.g. monoesters and diesters of sulfosuccinate), and the like. The fifth class includes sulfuric acid esters (and salts), such as alkyl ether sulfates, alkyl sulfates, and the like. The fifth class includes sulfuric acid esters (and salts), such as alkyl ether sulfates, alkyl sulfates, and the like. A particularly preferred anionic surfactant is sodium laurel ether sulfate.
- Anionic sulfate surfactants suitable for use in the present compositions include the linear and branched primary and secondary alkyl sulfates, alkyl ethoxysulfates, fatty oleyl glycerol sulfates, alkyl phenol ethylene oxide ether sulfates, the C5-C17 acyl-N--(C1-C4 alkyl) and --N--(C1-C2 hydroxyalkyl) glucamine sulfates, and sulfates of alkylpolysaccharides such as the sulfates of alkylpolyglucoside (the nonionic nonsulfated compounds being described herein). Ammonium and substituted ammonium (such as mono-, di- and triethanolamine) and alkali metal (such as sodium, lithium and potassium) salts of the alkyl mononuclear aromatic sulfonates such as the alkyl benzene sulfonates containing from 5 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl group in a straight or branched chain, e.g., the salts of alkyl benzene sulfonates or of alkyl toluene, xylene, cumene and phenol sulfonates; alkyl naphthalene sulfonate, diamyl naphthalene sulfonate, and dinonyl naphthalene sulfonate and alkoxylated derivatives.
- Examples of suitable synthetic, water soluble anionic surfactant compounds include the ammonium and substituted ammonium (such as mono-, di- and triethanolamine) and alkali metal (such as sodium, lithium and potassium) salts of the alkyl mononuclear aromatic sulfonates such as the alkyl benzene sulfonates containing from 5 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl group in a straight or branched chain, e.g., the salts of alkyl benzene sulfonates or of alkyl toluene, xylene, cumene and phenol sulfonates; alkyl naphthalene sulfonate, diamyl naphthalene sulfonate, and dinonyl naphthalene sulfonate and alkoxylated derivatives.
- Anionic carboxylate surfactants suitable for use in the present compositions include the alkyl ethoxy carboxylates, the alkyl polyethoxy polycarboxylate surfactants and the soaps (e.g. alkyl carboxyls). Secondary soap surfactants (e.g. alkyl carboxyl surfactants) useful in the present compositions include those which contain a carboxyl unit connected to a secondary carbon. The secondary carbon can be in a ring structure, e.g. as in p-octyl benzoic acid, or as in alkyl-substituted cyclohexyl carboxylates. The secondary soap surfactants typically contain no ether linkages, no ester linkages and no hydroxyl groups. Further, they typically lack nitrogen atoms in the head-group (amphiphilic portion). Suitable secondary soap surfactants typically contain 11-13 total carbon atoms, although more carbons atoms (e.g., up to 16) can be present.
- Other anionic surfactants suitable for use in the present compositions include olefin sulfonates, such as long chain alkene sulfonates, long chain hydroxyalkane sulfonates or mixtures of alkenesulfonates and hydroxyalkane-sulfonates. Also included are the alkyl sulfates, alkyl poly(ethyleneoxy)ether sulfates and aromatic poly(ethyleneoxy)sulfates such as the sulfates or condensation products of ethylene oxide and nonyl phenol (usually having 1 to 6 oxyethylene groups per molecule). Resin acids and hydrogenated resin acids are also suitable, such as rosin, hydrogenated rosin, and resin acids and hydrogenated resin acids present in or derived from tallow oil.
- The particular salts will be suitably selected depending upon the particular formulation and the needs therein.
- Further examples of suitable anionic surfactants are given in "Surface Active Agents and Detergents" (Vol. I and II by Schwartz, Perry and Berch). A variety of such surfactants are also generally disclosed in
U.S. Pat. No. 3,929,678, issued Dec. 30, 1975 to Laughlin, et al. at Column 23, line 58 throughColumn 29, line 23. - Zwitterionic surfactants can be thought of as a subset of the amphoteric surfactants. Zwitterionic surfactants can be broadly described as derivatives of secondary and tertiary amines, derivatives of heterocyclic secondary and tertiary amines, or derivatives of quaternary ammonium, quaternary phosphonium or tertiary sulfonium compounds. Typically, a zwitterionic surfactant includes a positive charged quaternary ammonium or, in some cases, a sulfonium or phosphonium ion, a negative charged carboxyl group, and an alkyl group. Zwitterionics generally contain cationic and anionic groups which ionize to a nearly equal degree in the isoelectric region of the molecule and which can develop strong "inner-salt" attraction between positive-negative charge centers. Examples of such zwitterionic synthetic surfactants include derivatives of aliphatic quaternary ammonium, phosphonium, and sulfonium compounds, in which the aliphatic radicals can be straight chain or branched, and wherein one of the aliphatic substituents contains from 8 to 18 carbon atoms and one contains an anionic water solubilizing group, e.g., carboxy, sulfonate, sulfate, phosphate, or phosphonate. Betaine and sultaine surfactants are exemplary zwitterionic surfactants for use herein.
- A general formula for these compounds is:
- Examples of zwitterionic surfactants having the structures listed above include: 4-[N,N-di(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-octadecylammonio]-butane-1-car- boxylate; 5-[S-3-hydroxypropyl-S-hexadecylsulfonio]-3-hydroxypentane-1-sul- fate; 3-[P,P-diethyl-P-3,6,9-trioxatetracosanephosphonio]-2-hydroxypropane- -1-phosphate; 3-[N,N-dipropyl-N-3-dodecoxy-2-hydroxypropyl-ammonio]-propan-e-1-phosphonate; 3-(N,N-dimethyl-N-hexadecylammonio)-propane-1-sulfonate; 3-(N,N-dimethyl-N-hexadecylammonio)-2-hydroxy-propane-1-sulfonate; 4-[N,N-di(2(2-hydroxyethyl)-N(2-hydroxydodecyl)ammonio]-butane-1-carboxyl- ate; 3-[S-ethylS-(3-dodecoxy-2-hydroxypropyl)sulfonio]-propane-1-phosphat- e; 3-[P,P-dimethyl-P-dodecylphosphonio]-propane-1-phosphonate; and S [N,N-di(3-hydroxypropyl)-N-hexadecylammonio]-2-hydroxy-pentane-1-sulfate. The alkyl groups contained in said detergent surfactants can be straight or branched and saturated or unsaturated.
-
- These surfactant betaines typically do not exhibit strong cationic or anionic characters at pH extremes nor do they show reduced water solubility in their isoelectric range. Unlike "external" quaternary ammonium salts, betaines are compatible with anionics. Examples of suitable betaines include coconut acylamidopropyldimethyl betaine; hexadecyl dimethyl betaine; C12-14 acylamidopropylbetaine; C8-14 acylamidohexyldiethyl betaine; 4-C14-16 acylmethylamidodiethylammonio-1-carboxybutane; C16-18 acylamidodimethylbetaine; C12-16 acylamidopentanediethylbetaine; and C12-16 acylmethylamidodimethylbetaine.
- Sultaines useful in the present invention include those compounds having the formula (R(R1)2N.sup.+R2SO3-, in which R is a C6-C18 hydrocarbyl group, each R1 is typically independently C1-C3 alkyl, e.g. methyl, and R2 is a C1-C6 hydrocarbyl group, e.g. a C1-C3 alkylene or hydroxyalkylene group.
- A typical listing of zwitterionic classes, and species of these surfactants, is given in
U.S. Pat. No. 3,929,678 issued to Laughlin and Heuring on Dec. 30, 1975 . Further examples are given in "Surface Active Agents and Detergents" (Vol. I and II by Schwartz, Perry and Berch). - Betaines and sultaines and other such zwitterionic surfactants are present in an amount of from Anionic surfactants are present in the composition in any detersive amount which can range typically from 0.01 wt. % to 75 wt. % of the rinse aid composition. In a preferred embodiment, 10 wt. % to 30 wt. % and more preferably from 15 wt. % to 25 wt. %.
- The semi-polar type of nonionic surface active agents is another class of nonionic surfactant useful in compositions of the present invention. Generally, semi-polar nonionics are high foamers and foam stabilizers, which can limit their application in CIP systems. However, within compositional embodiments of this invention designed for high foam cleaning methodology, semi-polar nonionics would have immediate utility. The semi-polar nonionic surfactants include the amine oxides, phosphine oxides, sulfoxides and their alkoxylated derivatives.
- Amine oxides are tertiary amine oxides corresponding to the general formula:
- Useful water soluble amine oxide surfactants are selected from the coconut or tallow alkyl di-(lower alkyl) amine oxides, specific examples of which are dodecyldimethylamine oxide, tridecyldimethylamine oxide, tetradecyldimethylamine oxide, pentadecyldimethylamine oxide, hexadecyldimethylamine oxide, heptadecyldimethylamine oxide, octadecyldimethylamine oxide, dodecyldipropylamine oxide, tetradecyldipropylamine oxide, hexadecyldipropylamine oxide, tetradecyldibutylamine oxide, octadecyldibutylamine oxide, bis(2-hydroxyethyl)dodecylamine oxide, bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-3-dodecoxy-1-hydroxypropylamine oxide, dimethyl-(2-hydroxydodecyl)amine oxide, 3,6,9-trioctadecyldimethylamine oxide and 3-dodecoxy-2-hydroxypropyldi-(2- - hydroxyethyl)amine oxide.
- Useful semi-polar nonionic surfactants also include the water soluble phosphine oxides having the following structure:
- Examples of useful phosphine oxides include dimethyldecylphosphine oxide, dimethyltetradecylphosphine oxide, methylethyltetradecylphosphine oxide, dimethylhexadecylphosphine oxide, diethyl-2-hydroxyoctyldecylphosp- hine oxide, bis(2-hydroxyethyl)dodecylphosphine oxide, and bis(hydroxymethyl)tetradecylphosphine oxide.
- Semi-polar nonionic surfactants useful herein also include the water soluble sulfoxide compounds which have the structure:
- Useful examples of these sulfoxides include dodecyl methyl sulfoxide; 3-hydroxy tridecyl methyl sulfoxide; 3-methoxy tridecyl methyl sulfoxide; and 3-hydroxy-4-dodecoxybutyl methyl sulfoxide.
- Further examples of suitable anionic surfactants are given in "Surface Active Agents and Detergents" (Vol. I and II by Schwartz, Perry and Berch). A variety of such surfactants are also generally disclosed in
U.S. Pat. No. 3,929,678, issued Dec. 30, 1975 to Laughlin, et al. at Column 23, line 58 throughColumn 29, line 23. - Surface active substances are classified as cationic if the charge on the hydrotrope portion of the molecule is positive. Surfactants in which the hydrotrope carries no charge unless the pH is lowered close to neutrality or lower, but which are then cationic (e.g. alkyl amines), are also included in this group. In theory, cationic surfactants may be synthesized from any combination of elements containing an "onium" structure RnX+Y-- and could include compounds other than nitrogen (ammonium) such as phosphorus (phosphonium) and sulfur (sulfonium). In practice, the cationic surfactant field is dominated by nitrogen containing compounds, probably because synthetic routes to nitrogenous cationics are simple and straightforward and give high yields of product, which can make them less expensive.
- Cationic surfactants preferably include, more preferably refer to, compounds containing at least one long carbon chain hydrophobic group and at least one positively charged nitrogen. The long carbon chain group may be attached directly to the nitrogen atom by simple substitution; or more preferably indirectly by a bridging functional group or groups in so-called interrupted alkylamines and amido amines. Such functional groups can make the molecule more hydrophilic and/or more water dispersible, more easily water solubilized by co-surfactant mixtures, and/or water soluble. For increased water solubility, additional primary, secondary or tertiary amino groups can be introduced or the amino nitrogen can be quaternized with low molecular weight alkyl groups. Further, the nitrogen can be a part of branched or straight chain moiety of varying degrees of unsaturation or of a saturated or unsaturated heterocyclic ring. In addition, cationic surfactants may contain complex linkages having more than one cationic nitrogen atom.
- The surfactant compounds classified as amine oxides, amphoterics and zwitterions are themselves typically cationic in near neutral to acidic pH solutions and can overlap surfactant classifications. Polyoxyethylated cationic surfactants generally behave like nonionic surfactants in alkaline solution and like cationic surfactants in acidic solution.
- The simplest cationic amines, amine salts and quaternary ammonium compounds can be schematically drawn thus:
- The majority of large volume commercial cationic surfactants can be subdivided into four major classes and additional sub-groups known to those of skill in the art and described in "Surfactant Encyclopedia," Cosmetics & Toiletries, Vol. 104 (2) 86-96 (1989). The first class includes alkylamines and their salts. The second class includes alkyl imidazolines. The third class includes ethoxylated amines. The fourth class includes quaternaries, such as alkylbenzyldimethylammonium salts, alkyl benzene salts, heterocyclic ammonium salts, tetra alkylammonium salts, and the like. Cationic surfactants are known to have a variety of properties that can be beneficial in the present compositions. These desirable properties can include detergency in compositions of or below neutral pH, antimicrobial efficacy, thickening or gelling in cooperation with other agents, and the like.
- Cationic surfactants useful in the compositions of the present invention include those having the formula R1 mR2 xYLZ wherein each R1 is an organic group containing a straight or branched alkyl or alkenyl group optionally substituted with up to three phenyl or hydroxy groups and optionally interrupted by up to four of the following structures:
-
- Preferably, L is 1 or 2, with the Y groups being separated by a moiety selected from R1 and R2 analogs (preferably alkylene or alkenylene) having from 1 to 22 carbon atoms and two free carbon single bonds when L is 2. Z is a water soluble anion, such as sulfate, methylsulfate, hydroxide, or nitrate anion, particularly preferred being sulfate or methyl sulfate anions, in a number to give electrical neutrality of the cationic component.
- Amphoteric, or ampholytic, surfactants contain both a basic and an acidic hydrophilic group and an organic hydrophobic group. These ionic entities may be any of the anionic or cationic groups described herein for other types of surfactants. A basic nitrogen and an acidic carboxylate group are the typical functional groups employed as the basic and acidic hydrophilic groups. In a few surfactants, sulfonate, sulfate, phosphonate or phosphate provide the negative charge.
- Amphoteric surfactants can be broadly described as derivatives of aliphatic secondary and tertiary amines, in which the aliphatic radical may be straight chain or branched and wherein one of the aliphatic substituents contains from 8 to 18 carbon atoms and one contains an anionic water solubilizing group, e.g., carboxy, sulfo, sulfato, phosphato, or phosphono. Amphoteric surfactants are subdivided into two major classes known to those of skill in the art and described in "Surfactant Encyclopedia," Cosmetics & Toiletries, Vol. 104 (2) 69-71 (1989). The first class includes acyl/dialkyl ethylenediamine derivatives (e.g. 2-alkyl hydroxyethyl imidazoline derivatives) and their salts. The second class includes N-alkylamino acids and their salts. Some amphoteric surfactants can be envisioned as fitting into both classes.
- Amphoteric surfactants can be synthesized by methods known to those of skill in the art. For example, 2-alkyl hydroxyethyl imidazoline is synthesized by condensation and ring closure of a long chain carboxylic acid (or a derivative) with dialkyl ethylenediamine. Commercial amphoteric surfactants are derivatized by subsequent hydrolysis and ring-opening of the imidazoline ring by alkylation--for example with ethyl acetate. During alkylation, one or two carboxy-alkyl groups react to form a tertiary amine and an ether linkage with differing alkylating agents yielding different tertiary amines.
- Long chain imidazole derivatives having application in the present invention generally have the general formula:
- The carboxymethylated compounds (glycinates) described herein above frequently are called betaines. Betaines are a special class of amphoteric discussed herein below in the section entitled, Zwitterion Surfactants.
- Long chain N-alkylamino acids are readily prepared by reacting RNH2, in which R.dbd.C8-C18 straight or branched chain alkyl, fatty amines with halogenated carboxylic acids. Alkylation of the primary amino groups of an amino acid leads to secondary and tertiary amines. Alkyl substituents may have additional amino groups that provide more than one reactive nitrogen center. Most commercial N-alkylamine acids are alkyl derivatives of beta-alanine or beta-N(2-carboxyethyl) alanine. Examples of commercial N-alkylamino acid ampholytes having application in this invention include alkyl beta-amino dipropionates, RN(C2H4COOM)2 and RNHC2H4COOM. In these, R is preferably an acyclic hydrophobic group containing from 8 to 18 carbon atoms, and M is a cation to neutralize the charge of the anion.
- Preferred amphoteric surfactants include those derived from coconut products such as coconut oil or coconut fatty acid. The more preferred of these coconut derived surfactants include as part of their structure an ethylenediamine moiety, an alkanolamide moiety, an amino acid moiety, preferably glycine, or a combination thereof; and an aliphatic substituent of from 8 to 18 (preferably 12) carbon atoms. Such a surfactant can also be considered an alkyl amphodicarboxylic acid. Disodium cocoampho dipropionate is one most preferred amphoteric surfactant and is commercially available under the tradename Miranol™ FBS from Rhodia Inc., Cranbury, N.J. Another most preferred coconut derived amphoteric surfactant with the chemical name disodium cocoampho diacetate is sold under the tradename Miranol C2M-SF Conc., also from Rhodia Inc., Cranbury, N.J.

U.S. Pat. No. 3,929,678 issued to Laughlin and Heuring on Dec. 30, 1975 . Further examples are given in "Surface Active Agents and Detergents" (Vol. I and II by Schwartz, Perry and Berch). - Additional surfactant may be present in the compositions in any detersive amount so long as they do not interfere with the electrostatic, ionic interactions that provide for foam stabilization.
- The rinse aid can optionally include bleaching agent. Bleaching agent can be used for lightening or whitening a substrate, and can include bleaching compounds capable of liberating an active halogen species, such as Cl2, Br2, -OCl- and/or -OBr-, or the like, under conditions typically encountered during the cleansing process. Suitable bleaching agents for use can include, for example, chlorine-containing compounds such as a chlorine, a hypochlorite, chloramines, of the like. Some examples of halogen-releasing compounds include the alkali metal dichloroisocyanurates, chlorinated trisodium phosphate, the alkali metal hypochlorites, monochloramine and dichloroamine, and the like. Encapsulated chlorine sources may also be used to enhance the stability of the chlorine source in the composition (see, for example,
U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,618,914 and4,830,773 ). A bleaching agent may also include an agent containing or acting as a source of active oxygen. The active oxygen compound acts to provide a source of active oxygen, for example, may release active oxygen in aqueous solutions. An active oxygen compound can be inorganic or organic, or can be a mixture thereof. Some examples of active oxygen compound include peroxygen compounds, or peroxygen compound adducts. Some examples of active oxygen compounds or sources include hydrogen peroxide, perborates, sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate, phosphate peroxyhydrates, potassium permonosulfate, and sodium perborate mono and tetrahydrate, with and without activators such as tetraacetylethylene diamine, and the like. A rinse aid composition may include a minor but effective amount of a bleaching agent, for example, in some embodiments, in the range of up to 10 wt. %, and in some embodiments, in the range of 0.1 to 6 wt. %. - In some embodiments, the antimicrobial activity or bleaching activity of the rinse aid can be enhanced by the addition of a material which, when the composition is placed in use, reacts with the active oxygen to form an activated component. For example, in some embodiments, a peracid or a peracid salt is formed. For example, in some embodiments, tetraacetylethylene diamine can be included within the composition to react with the active oxygen and form a peracid or a peracid salt that acts as an antimicrobial agent. Other examples of active oxygen activators include transition metals and their compounds, compounds that contain a carboxylic, nitrile, or ester moiety, or other such compounds known in the art. In an embodiment, the activator includes tetraacetylethylene diamine; transition metal; compound that includes carboxylic, nitrile, amine, or ester moiety; or mixtures thereof.
- In some embodiments, an activator component can include in the range of up to 75 % by wt. of the composition, in some embodiments, in the range of 0.01 to 20% by wt, or in some embodiments, in the range of 0.05 to 10% by weight of the composition. In some embodiments, an activator for an active oxygen compound combines with the active oxygen to form an antimicrobial agent.
- In some embodiments, the rinse aid composition includes a solid, such as a solid flake, pellet, or block, and an activator material for the active oxygen is coupled to the solid. The activator can be coupled to the solid by any of a variety of methods for coupling one solid composition to another. For example, the activator can be in the form of a solid that is bound, affixed, glued or otherwise adhered to the solid of the rinse aid composition. Alternatively, the solid activator can be formed around and encasing the solid rinse aid composition. By way of further example, the solid activator can be coupled to the solid rinse aid composition by the container or package for the composition, such as by a plastic or shrink wrap or film.
- The rinse aid can optionally include a minor but effective amount of one or more of a filler which does not necessarily perform as a rinse and/or cleaning agent per se, but may cooperate with a rinse agent to enhance the overall capacity of the composition. Some examples of suitable fillers may include sodium chloride, starch, sugars, C1-C10 alkylene glycols such as propylene glycol, and the like. In some embodiments, a filler can be included in an amount in the range of up to 20 wt. %, and in some embodiments, in the range of 1-15 wt. %. Sodium sulfate is conventionally used as inert filler.
- The rinse aid composition can optionally include an anti-redeposition agent capable of facilitating sustained suspension of soils in a rinse solution and preventing removed soils from being redeposited onto the substrate being rinsed. Some examples of suitable anti-redeposition agents can include fatty acid amides, fluorocarbon surfactants, complex phosphate esters, styrene maleic anhydride copolymers, and cellulosic derivatives such as hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, and the like. A rinse aid composition may include up to 10 wt. %, and in some embodiments, in the range of 1 to 5 wt. %, of an anti-redeposition agent.
- Various dyes, odorants including perfumes, and other aesthetic enhancing agents may also be included in the rinse aid. Dyes may be included to alter the appearance of the composition, as for example, FD&C Blue 1 (Sigma Chemical), FD&C Yellow 5 (Sigma Chemical), Direct Blue 86 (Miles), Fastusol Blue (Mobay Chemical Corp.), Acid Orange 7 (American Cyanamid), Basic Violet 10 (Sandoz), Acid Yellow 23 (GAF), Acid Yellow 17 (Sigma Chemical), Sap Green (Keyston Analine and Chemical), Metanil Yellow (Keystone Analine and Chemical), Acid Blue 9 (Hilton Davis), Sandolan Blue/Acid Blue 182 (Sandoz), Hisol Fast Red (Capitol Color and Chemical), Fluorescein (Capitol Color and Chemical), Acid Green 25 (Ciba-Geigy), and the like.
- Fragrances or perfumes that may be included in the compositions include, for example, terpenoids such as citronellol, aldehydes such as amyl cinnamaldehyde, a jasmine such as CIS-jasmine or jasmal, vanillin, and the like.
- The composition can also optionally include one or more functional polydimethylsiloxones. For example, in some embodiments, a polyalkylene oxide-modified polydimethylsiloxane, nonionic surfactant or a polybetaine-modified polysiloxane amphoteric surfactant can be employed as an additive. Both, in some embodiments, are linear polysiloxane copolymers to which polyethers or polybetaines have been grafted through a hydrosilation reaction. Some examples of specific siloxane surfactants are known as SILWET® surfactants available from Union Carbide or ABIL® polyether or polybetaine polysiloxane copolymers available from Goldschmidt Chemical Corp., and described in
U.S. Pat. No. 4,654,161 . In some embodiments, the particular siloxanes used can be described as having, e.g., low surface tension, high wetting ability and excellent lubricity. For example, these surfactants are said to be among the few capable of wetting polytetrafluoroethylene surfaces. The siloxane surfactant employed as an additive can be used alone or in combination with a fluorochemical surfactant. In some embodiments, the fluorochemical surfactant employed as an additive optionally in combination with a silane, can be, for example, a nonionic fluorohydrocarbon, for example, fluorinated alkyl polyoxyethylene ethanols, fluorinated alkyl alkoxylate and fluorinated alkyl esters. - Further description of such functional polydimethylsiloxones and/or fluorochemical surfactants are described in
U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,880,088 ;5,880,089 ; and5,603,776 . We have found, for example, that the use of certain polysiloxane copolymers in a mixture with hydrocarbon surfactants provide excellent rinse aids on plasticware. We have also found that the combination of certain silicone polysiloxane copolymers and fluorocarbon surfactants with conventional hydrocarbon surfactants also provide excellent rinse aids on plasticware. This combination has been found to be better than the individual components except with certain polyalkylene oxide-modified polydimethylsiloxanes and polybetaine polysiloxane copolymers, where the effectiveness is about equivalent. Therefore, some embodiments encompass the polysiloxane copolymers alone and the combination with the fluorocarbon surfactant can involve polyether polysiloxanes, the nonionic siloxane surfactants. The amphoteric siloxane surfactants, the polybetaine polysiloxane copolymers may be employed alone as the additive in the rinse aids to provide the same results. - In some embodiments, the composition may include functional polydimethylsiloxones in an amount in the range of up to 10 wt-%. For example, some embodiments may include in the range of 0.1 to 10 wt-% of a polyalkylene oxide-modified polydimethylsiloxane or a polybetaine-modified polysiloxane, optionally in combination with 0.1 to 10 wt-% of a fluorinated hydrocarbon nonionic surfactant.
- The composition can also optionally include one or more humectants. A humectant is a substance having an affinity for water. The humectant can be provided in an amount sufficient to aid in reducing the visibility of a film on the substrate surface. The visibility of a film on substrate surface is a particular concern when the rinse water contains in excess of 200 ppm total dissolved solids. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the humectant is provided in an amount sufficient to reduce the visibility of a film on a substrate surface when the rinse water contains in excess of 200 ppm total dissolved solids compared to a rinse agent composition not containing the humectant. The terms "water solids filming" or "filming" refer to the presence of a visible, continuous layer of matter on a substrate surface that gives the appearance that the substrate surface is not clean.
- Some example humectants that can be used include those materials that contain greater than 5 wt. % water (based on dry humectant) equilibrated at 50% relative humidity and room temperature. Exemplary humectants that can be used include glycerin, propylene glycol, sorbitol, alkyl polyglycosides, polybetaine polysiloxanes, and mixtures thereof. In some embodiments, the rinse agent composition can include humectant in an amount in the range of up to 75% based on the total composition, and in some embodiments, in the range of 5 wt. % to 75 wt. % based on the weight of the composition.
- A wide variety of other ingredients useful in providing the particular composition being formulated to include desired properties or functionality may also be included. For example, the rinse aid may include other active ingredients, such as pH modifiers, buffering agents, cleaning enzyme, carriers, processing aids, or others, and the like.
- Additionally, the rinse aid can be formulated such that during use in aqueous operations, for example in aqueous cleaning operations, the rinse water will have a desired pH. For example, compositions designed for use in rinsing may be formulated such that during use in aqueous rinsing operation the rinse water will have a pH in the range of 3 to 5, or in the range of 5 to 9. Liquid product formulations in some embodiments have a (10% dilution) pH in the range of 2 to 4. Techniques for controlling pH at recommended usage levels include the use of buffers, alkali, acids, etc., and are well known to those skilled in the art.
- The present solid composition can be made by an advantageous method of pressing the solid composition. Specifically, in a forming process, the liquid and solid components are introduced into the final mixing system and are continuously mixed until the components form a substantially homogeneous semi-solid mixture in which the components are distributed throughout its mass. In an exemplary embodiment, the components are mixed in the mixing system for at least approximately 5 seconds. The mixture is then discharged from the mixing system into, or through, a die, press or other shaping means. The product is then packaged. In an exemplary embodiment, the solid formed composition begins to harden between approximately 1 minute and approximately 3 hours. Particularly, the formed composition begins to harden in between approximately 1 minute and approximately 2 hours. More particularly, the formed composition begins to harden in between approximately 1 minute and approximately 20 minutes. According to the invention, a method of making a solid rinse aid composition comprises admixing a solid acid, nonionic surfactant and short chain alkyl benzene and/or alkyl naphthalene sulfonates, allowing said mixture to set thereafter, mixing in any liquid components of said rinse aid, such as preservative, additional surfactant, water, dyes and the like, and forming a solid with the rinse aid mixture by pressing or extrusion.
- The method of the present invention can produce a stable solid without employing a melt and solidification of the melt as in conventional casting. Forming a melt requires heating a composition to melt it. The heat can be applied externally or can be produced by a chemical exotherm (e.g., from mixing caustic (sodium hydroxide) and water). Heating a composition consumes energy. Handling a hot melt requires safety precautions and equipment. Further, solidification of a melt requires cooling the melt in a container to solidify the melt and form the cast solid. Cooling requires time and/or energy. In contrast, the present method can employ ambient temperature and humidity during solidification or curing of the present compositions. The solids of the present invention are held together not by solidification from a melt but by a binding agent produced in the admixed particles and that is effective for producing a stable solid.
- The invention is formed to solid by pressing or extrusion.
- In an exemplary embodiment, a single- or twin-screw extruder may be used to combine and mix one or more components agents at high shear to form a homogeneous mixture. In some embodiments, the processing temperature is at or below the melting temperature of the components. The processed mixture may be dispensed from the mixer by pressing, forming, extruding or other suitable means, whereupon the composition hardens to a solid form. The structure of the matrix may be characterized according to its hardness, melting point, material distribution, crystal structure, and other like properties according to known methods in the art. Generally, a solid composition processed according to the method of the invention is substantially homogeneous with regard to the distribution of ingredients throughout its mass and is dimensionally stable.
- The resulting solid composition may take forms including, but not limited to: an extruded, molded or formed solid pellet, block, tablet, powder, granule, flake; or the formed solid can thereafter be ground or formed into a powder, granule, or flake. In an exemplary embodiment, extruded pellet materials formed have a weight of between approximately 50 grams and approximately 250 grams, extruded solids have a weight of approximately 100 grams or greater, and solid blocks formed have a mass of between approximately 1 and approximately 10 kilograms. The solid compositions provide for a stabilized source of functional materials. In a preferred embodiment, the solid composition may be dissolved, for example, in an aqueous or other medium, to create a concentrated and/or use solution. The solution may be directed to a storage reservoir for later use and/or dilution, or may be applied directly to a point of use.
- In certain embodiments, the solid rinse aid composition is provided in the form of a unit dose. A unit dose refers to a solid rinse aid composition unit sized so that the entire unit is used during a single washing cycle. When the solid cleaning composition is provided as a unit dose, it can have a mass of 1 g to 50 g. In other embodiments, the composition can be a solid, a pellet, or a tablet having a size of 50 g to 250 g, of 100 g or greater, or 40 g to 11,000 g.
- In other embodiments, the solid rinse aid composition is provided in the form of a multiple-use solid, such as, a block or a plurality of pellets, and can be repeatedly used to generate aqueous rinse compositions for multiple washing cycles. In certain embodiments, the solid rinse aid composition is provided as a solid having a mass of 5 g to 10 kg. In certain embodiments, a multiple-use form of the solid rinse aid composition has a mass of 1 to 10 kg. In further embodiments, a multiple-use form of the solid rinse aid composition has a mass of 5 kg to 8 kg. In other embodiments, a multiple-use form of the solid rinse aid composition has a mass of 5 g to 1 kg, or 5 g and to 500 g.
- The solid rinse aid composition can be, but is not necessarily, incorporated into a packaging system or receptacle. The packaging receptacle or container may be rigid or flexible, and include any material suitable for containing the compositions produced, as for example glass, metal, plastic film or sheet, cardboard, cardboard composites, paper, or the like. Rinse aid compositions may be allowed to solidify in the packaging or may be packaged after formation of the solids in commonly available packaging and sent to distribution center before shipment to the consumer.
- For solids, advantageously, in at least some embodiments, since the rinse is processed at or near ambient temperatures, the temperature of the processed mixture is low enough so that the mixture may be cast or extruded directly into the container or other packaging system without structurally damaging the material. As a result, a wider variety of materials may be used to manufacture the container than those used for compositions that processed and dispensed under molten conditions. In some embodiments, the packaging used to contain the rinse aid is manufactured from a flexible, easy opening film material.
- The rinse aid can be dispensed as a concentrate or as a use solution. In addition, the rinse aid concentrate can be provided in a solid form or in a liquid form. In general, it is expected that the concentrate will be diluted with water to provide the use solution that is then supplied to the surface of a substrate. In some embodiments, the aqueous use solution may contain about 2,000 parts per million (ppm) or less active materials, or about 1,000 ppm or less active material, or in the range of about 10 ppm to about 500 ppm of active materials, or in the range of about 10 to about 300 ppm, or in the range of about 10 to 200 ppm.
- The use solution can be applied to the substrate during a rinse application, for example, during a rinse cycle, for example, in a warewashing machine, a car wash application, institutional healthcare surface cleaning or the like. In some embodiments, formation of a use solution can occur from a rinse agent installed in a cleaning machine, for example onto a dish rack. The rinse agent can be diluted and dispensed from a dispenser mounted on or in the machine or from a separate dispenser that is mounted separately but cooperatively with the dish machine.
- For example, in some embodiments, liquid rinse agents can be dispensed by incorporating compatible packaging containing the liquid material into a dispenser adapted to diluting the liquid with water to a final use concentration. Some examples of dispensers for the liquid rinse agent of the invention are DRYMASTER-P sold by Ecolab Inc., St. Paul, Minn.
- In other example embodiments, solid products may be conveniently dispensed by inserting a solid material in a container or with no enclosure into a spray-type dispenser such as the volume SOL-ET controlled ECOTEMP Rinse Injection Cylinder system manufactured by Ecolab Inc., St. Paul, Minn. Such a dispenser cooperates with a washing machine in the rinse cycle. When demanded by the machine, the dispenser directs water onto the solid block of rinse agent which effectively dissolves a portion of the block creating a concentrated aqueous rinse solution which is then fed directly into the rinse water forming the aqueous rinse. The aqueous rinse is then contacted with the surfaces to affect a complete rinse. This dispenser and other similar dispensers are capable of controlling the effective concentration of the active portion in the aqueous rinse by measuring the volume of material dispensed, the actual concentration of the material in the rinse water (an electrolyte measured with an electrode) or by measuring the time of the spray on the cast block. In general, the concentration of active portion in the aqueous rinse is preferably the same as identified above for liquid rinse agents. Some other embodiments of spray-type dispenser are disclosed in
U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,826,661 ,4,690,305 ,4,687,121 ,4,426,362 and inU.S. Pat. Nos. Re 32,763 and32,818 . An example of a particular product shape is shown in FIG. 9 ofU.S. Patent Application No. 6,258,765 . - The composition of the invention is particularly beneficial for use with hard water. The composition can provide good rinsing and levels up to 342.75 ppm (20gpg) water hardness.
- In some embodiments, it is believed that the rinse aid composition of the invention can be used in a high solids containing water environment in order to reduce the appearance of a visible film caused by the level of dissolved solids provided in the water. In general, high solids containing water is considered to be water having a total dissolved solids (TDS) content in excess of 200 ppm. In certain localities, the service water contains total dissolved solids content in excess of 400 ppm, and even in excess of 800 ppm. The applications where the presence of a visible film after washing a substrate is a particular problem includes the restaurant or warewashing industry, the car wash industry, the healthcare instrument reprocessing and cart washing sections, and the general cleaning of hard surfaces.
- When used in these automated washing applications such as ware washers and healthcare instrument and cart washers, the rinse aid should provide effective sheeting action and low foaming properties. It is believed that the rinse aid composition of this invention is adventurously formulated to control the issues mentioned above
- The present methods and solid rinse aid compositions may be used for cleaning a medical cart, cage, instrument, or device in a medical or health care environment. Typically, cleaning a medical cart, cage, instrument, or device includes contacting the medical cart, cage, instrument, or device with an aqueous cleaning composition and then according to the invention, rinsing or contacting the same with a rinse solution comprising a dissolved rinse aid of the invention. The method can also involve antimicrobial treatment of the medical cart, cage, instrument, or device by contacting with an aqueous antimicrobial composition formed by dissolving or suspending a solid antimicrobial composition, preferably a solid quaternary ammonium or solid halogen antimicrobial composition.
- Contacting with a cleaning composition can take place through manual application in a wash area or bay or through application by cart, cage, instrument, or device washing apparatus. In a manual method rinsing and/or antimicrobial treatment can also take place in the wash area or bay, or in a separate area or bay. A typical cart, cage, instrument, or device washing apparatus includes a wash station which applies the cleaning composition. Typically such a washing apparatus also includes a rinse station that can rinse the cart, cage, instrument, or device with water or another suitable rinse composition, such as a solid neutral or neutralizing rinse composition. Such a washing apparatus can also, optionally, include an antimicrobial treatment station that can contact the cart, cage, instrument, or device with a dissolved solid antimicrobial composition, such as a solid quaternary ammonium or solid halogen antimicrobial composition. A washing apparatus can conduct one or more of washing, rinsing, and/or antimicrobial treatment of steps at one, two, three, or more stations.
- The present methods and compositions for rinsing a medical cart, cage, instrument, or device can be employed for rinsing a medical cart, cage, instrument, or device made of a variety of materials in a medical or health care environment. Typically, rinsing a medical cart, cage, instrument, or device includes rinsing the medical cart, cage, instrument, or device using an aqueous rinse composition formed by dissolving or suspending the solid rinse composition of the invention.
- Contacting with a rinsing composition can take place through manual application in a rinse area or bay or through application by cart, cage, instrument, or device washing and/or rinsing apparatus. In a manual method cleaning and/or antimicrobial treatment can also take place in the rinse area or bay, or in a separate area or bay. A typical cart, cage, instrument, or device washing apparatus includes a rinse station that can rinse the cart, cage, instrument, or device with a liquid rinse composition formed from a solid neutral or neutralizing rinse composition. Such a washing apparatus can also, optionally, include a washing and/or antimicrobial treatment station.
- The antimicrobial composition employed either for manual or machine medical cart, cage, instrument, or device antimicrobial treatment can be a solid antimicrobial composition, preferably a solid quaternary ammonium or solid halogen antimicrobial composition, which is described in greater detail herein below.
- Medical cart cleaning can be accomplished either manually or with a machine. Manual medical cart cleaning can include preparing a use composition of a solid cleaning composition and applying it to the medical cart. Applying typically includes wiping or scrubbing the medical cart with a brush, a towel, or a sponge soaked with the cleaning composition. Applying can also include spraying the cart with the use composition. Manual medical cart cleaning can also include preparing a use composition of a rinse composition, preferably a neutral rinse composition, and applying it to the medical cart. Applying a rinse composition can include spraying, pouring, or wiping the use composition onto the cart. Manual medical cart cleaning can also include preparing a use composition of a solid antimicrobial composition, preferably a solid quaternary ammonium or solid halogen antimicrobial composition, and applying it to the medical cart. Applying an antimicrobial composition can include spraying, pouring, or wiping the use composition onto the cart. Drying the medical cart, either manually or air drying, typically follows rinsing.
- Machine cleaning of a medical cart can employ any of a variety of configurations of medical cart cleaning apparatus. Such apparatus can be adapted to dispense the solid detergent, rinse aid composition of the invention and/or antimicrobial composition. A medical cart cleaning apparatus typically includes at least one chamber that houses the medical cart during washing, rinsing, and/or antimicrobial treatment.
- Smaller medical cart cleaning apparatus typically include a single chamber sized to house, for example, 1-3 medical carts. Medical carts can be introduced into the smaller apparatus by an operator through a door or other coverable opening in the chamber. The apparatus then subjects the carts in the chamber to one or more of washing, rinsing, antimicrobial treatment, and/or drying cycles. Washing typically occurs by spraying the medical cart with a use wash composition. Rinsing typically occurs by spraying the medical cart with a use rinse composition. Optionally, antimicrobial treatment can occur by spraying the medical cart with a use antimicrobial composition. Drying can occur by blowing ambient or heated air, or by treating with steam. Medical carts can be removed from the chamber by an operator through the same door or other coverable opening or through an exit door or other coverable opening on an opposite side of the apparatus.
- Larger medical cart cleaning apparatus typically includes a transport apparatus that transports one or several carts through one or more chambers including washing, rinsing, optionally antimicrobial treatment, and/or drying stations. Such a medical cart cleaning apparatus can resemble a touchless car wash sized and configured for cleaning medical carts instead of cars. Typically the cart is transported through the washing, rinsing, optional antimicrobial treatment, and/or drying stations by a track or rail apparatus while tipped at an acute angle from the horizontal, with its doors (if any) open. This tipping can keep the doors open and allow liquid to drain off any normally horizontal surfaces of the medical cart. The entry to a larger medical cart cleaning apparatus can be covered, for example, by a door or with hanging plastic strips that allow entry of carts but that retain use compositions in the apparatus. The wash station typically sprays the medical cart with use wash composition. A rinse station typically sprays the medical cart with use rinse composition. An optional antimicrobial treatment station typically sprays the medical cart with use antimicrobial composition. At the drying station, blowers blow ambient or heated air on the cart, or the cart is steam treated. Alternatively, the cart can be removed from the apparatus and towel dried. One or more stations can be at different, overlapping, or the same locations. The exit from the apparatus can be covered in the same manner as the entrance.
- Mechanical cart washers can employ up to 113.56 (30) to 151.41 liter (40 gallons) of use composition of cleaning composition per wash cycle, up to 113.56 (30) to 151.41 liter (40 gallons) of use composition rinse composition per rinse cycle, and, optionally, up to 113.56 (30) to 151.41 liter (40 gallons) of use antimicrobial composition per antimicrobial treatment cycle. The actual amount of cleaning, rinsing, or antimicrobial composition used will be based on the judgment of the user, and will depend upon factors such as the particular product formulation of the composition, the concentration of the composition, the number of soiled carts to be cleaned and the degree of soiling of the carts.
- A machine that washes medical carts can also be employed to wash other wheeled medical equipment or supplies such as wheel chairs, wheeled stands, such as those that hold intravenous bags, tubes and pumps, wheeled (metro) shelves, and the like.

5. To the 1L beaker 1000mL of control (0 ppm (0 grain) water + 1000ppm NaCl) was added; the beaker was placed in a microwave and heated to 65.55° C (150°F). The beaker was then placed in a dip tester water bath (water temperature set at 65.55° C (150°F)).
6. Set the dip tester to have the coupon in solution for 1 minute static soak.
7. After one minute when the coupon comes out of solution and the plank has risen all the way, the coupons are suspended in air for 2 minutes.
8. After 2 minutes, the coupon is removed from the dip tester and set on a rack in the vertical position to cool down to room temperature.
9. Steps 4-7 were repeated for all chemistries with 0 ppm (grain) water. - The results are shown in
Figure 2 . One can see that the compositions of the invention outperform all other rinse at with increased levels of total dissolved solids in the rinse water. -
1. Obtain coupons of desired substrate material (Aluminum).
2. Wash each coupon thoroughly with a soft sponge and Commercially available detergent. Rinse with 0 ppm (grain) water and DI water. Lay flat and let dry over night.
3. Obtain 236.58 ml (8oz) glass French square vials.
4. Rinse each vial with 0 ppm (grain) water and DI water, lay flat and let dry over night.
5. Prepare the following Chemistries:corrosion Study Description 0 ppm (gpg) Control: 0 ppm (0gpg) Water Commercial Rinse aid A 2000ppm Commercial Rinse aid B 2000ppm Commercial Rinse aid C 500ppm Commercial Rinse aid C 1000ppm Commercial Rinse aid C 2000ppm Commercial Rinse aid D 50ppm Commercial Rinse aid D 125ppm Commercial Rinse aid D 200ppm Composition of the Invention A 50ppm Composition of the Invention A 125ppm Composition of the Invention A 200ppm Composition of the Invention B 50ppm Composition of the Invention B 125ppm Composition of the Invention B 200ppm
6. To 2 separate glass French square vials 200mL of control (0 ppm (gram) water) was added along with coupons with material to be studied; example:aluminum 6061 andaluminum 1100. The vials were labeled.
7.Step 6 was repeated for every chemistry with 0 ppm (grain) water.
8. All of the vials were put in the 71.11°C (160°F) oven and allowed to incubate for 8 hours.
9. Coupons were removed from each test solution with a clean tweezers.
10. Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectroscopy was used to analyze Al concentration in each test solution respectively. -
Figure 3 shows the results for the Al coupon and one can see that the compositions of the invention demonstrated very little corrosion. Other metal coupons tested showed that the formulations of the invention are compatible with all metals. - The foaming tendency at use was tested on Sump solutions per below.
- The Inversion foam test is used to simulate Sump solution agitation. Rinse additive is added to the graduated cylinder, and the foam generated is measured after 10 180° inversions.
-
- 1. 250mL Graduated Cylinder with stopper.
- 2. Room temperature 85.68 ppm (5 grain) water.
-
- 1. Rinse the graduated cylinder thoroughly with soft water, followed by DI water and air dry.
- 2. Prepare desired 5% and/or 10% simulated sump solution of solid rinse aids, stir until dissolved.
- 3. Pour 150mL of the 5% or 10% solution or the as is liquid commercial rinse aids into the graduated cylinder and cap with a stopper.
- 4. From a vertical position, rotate the cylinder about 180° and back to the vertical position.
- 5. Repeat this
action 10 times at a frequency of about 1 cycle/second. - 6. The foam height was immediately recorded when the cylinder was placed on the flat surface. Read the foam height as the difference between the top of the liquid level to the top of the foam level. The top of the foam level is the level at which the foam is opaque and the operator cannot see through the cylinder.
- 7. Repeat for each chemistry.
- The results are shown in
Figure 4 and here again the formulations of the invention demonstrated better foam control. - Finally, the following procedure was used to evaluate the foaming tendency of the different rinse additives at use concentrations.
-
- Glewwe Foam apparatus.
- Hot soft water.
- Small and large weigh boats
-
- Rinse the Glewwe apparatus thoroughly by filling it with soft water and running the pump. Drain the apparatus by opening the gate valve. If foam is generated during this cleaning, repeat the procedure until it is not.
- Close the gate valve and remove the top lid.
- Fill the chimney with hot soft water to the base of the ruler, 0", 3L of water.
- Turn on the pump switch and adjust the temperature to 37.77, 48.88, 60.00 or 71.11° C (100, 120, 140 or 160°F) by adding either cold or hot soft water. Tests were run at 71.11° C (160°F).
- Adjust the pressure to 41368.54 Pa (6 psi) by using the knob located below the pressure gauge. Stop the pump.
- Re-adjust the water level to 0" as required.
- Turn on the pump, allow the pressure to reach 41368.54 Pa (6 psi), and add desired concentration of the rinse additive or surfactant combination to be evaluated. Note the time.
- After 1 minute, stop the pump and record the foam height and characteristics at time zero, 15 seconds and 1 minute.
- Open the gate valve to drain the machine and repeat the cleaning procedure.
- UNSTABLE - foam breaks rapidly (less than 15 seconds)
PARTIALLY STABLE - foam breaks slowly (within a minute)
STABLE - foam remains for several minutesGlewwe Foam test at 71.11° C (160F) (in) Sample Description 0 ppm (gpg) initial 15s 1min 1 control 2 Commercial Rinse aid A 2000ppm 3 Commercial Rinse aid B 2000ppm 4 Commercial Rinse aid C 500ppm 5 Commercial Rinse aid C 1000ppm 6 Commercial Rinse aid C 2000ppm 7 Commercial Rinse aid D 50ppm 8 Commercial Rinse aid D 125ppm 9 Commercial Rinse aid D 200ppm 10 Composition of the Invention A 50ppm 11 Composition of the Invention A 125ppm 12 Composition of the Invention A 200ppm 13 Composition of the Invention B 50ppm 14 Composition of the Invention B 125ppm 15 Composition of the Invention B 200ppm - The results are shown in
Figure 5 . The figures shows that the foam profile at dispenser pump concentration are better than the controls. Foam control is a very important aspect of rinse aids.
