Abstract

The present invention provides a domestic laundry whitening and brightening composition comprising a charged surfactant, a negatively charged alkoxylated polyalkylphenol and a perfume.

Description

WHITENING COMPOSITION
Field of Invention
The present invention concerns the use of whitening and brightening laundry compositions.
Background of the Invention
Maintaining and improving the whiteness and brightness of textiles during domestic laundry are desirable. A problem is the redeposition of soil removed from one garment onto another. The problem is exacerbated by the presence of human oils (sebum) on garments and in the wash which serves to enhance the deposition of soil in the wash. This process leads to an overall loss of whiteness and cleaning across the washing load. To ameliorate this problem, dispersing polymer such as an alkoxylated polyethylene imines have been widely added to washing detergents. Ethoxylated PEI (PEI = polyethylene imine) is known as an anti redeposition polymer from CA 121 0009. Certain Cellulase enzymes have also been used to prevent redeposition by altering the surface properties of cotton fabrics.
Novozymes describes in WO02/099091 and WO04/053039 cellulases for use in domestic laundry.
EP1321510 (Shipley) describes an industrial cleaning composition that contain an alkoxylated polyarylphenol for stripping organic chemical residues from photoresists that are used in the manufacture of semi-conductors and other electronic devices and circuits. The organic chemical residues are materials left over from the production process and include photointiators, thermoinitiators, acrylic and methacrylic monomers.

Surfactant
The laundry composition comprises charged surfactant and it is most preferred that the charged surfactant is anionic surfactant (which includes a mixture of the same).
Suitable anionic detergent compounds which may be used are usually water- soluble alkali metal salts of organic sulphates and sulphonates having alkyl radicals containing from about 8 to about 22 carbon atoms, the term alkyl being used to include the alkyl portion of higher alkyl radicals.
Examples of suitable synthetic anionic detergent compounds are sodium and potassium alkyl sulphates, especially those obtained by sulphating higher Cs to Cie alcohols, produced for example from tallow or coconut oil, sodium and potassium alkyl C9 to C20 benzene sulphonates, particularly sodium linear secondary alkyl C10 to Ci5 benzene sulphonates; and sodium alkyl glyceryl ether sulphates, especially those ethers of the higher alcohols derived from tallow or coconut oil and synthetic alcohols derived from petroleum. The anionic surfactant is preferably selected from: linear alkyl benzene sulphonate; alkyl sulphates; alkyl ether sulphates; soaps; alkyl (preferably methyl) ester sulphonates, and mixtures thereof. The most preferred anionic surfactants are selected from: linear alkyl benzene sulphonate; alkyl sulphates; alkyl ether sulphates and mixtures thereof. Preferably the alkyl ether sulphate is a C12-C14 n-alkyl ether sulphate with an average of 1 to 3EO (ethoxylate) units. Sodium lauryl ether sulphate is particularly preferred (SLES). Preferably the linear alkyl benzene sulphonate is a sodium C11 to C15 alkyl benzene sulphonates. Preferably the alkyl sulphates is a linear or branched sodium C12 to C18 alkyl sulphates. Sodium dodecyl sulphate is particularly preferred, (SDS, also known as primary alkyl sulphate). The level of anionic surfactant in the laundry composition is preferably from 4 to 50 wt%, more preferably 6 to 30 wt%, and most preferably 8 to 20 wt%.
Preferably two or more anionic surfactant are present, for example linear alkyl benzene sulphonate together with an alkyl ether sulphate.
Preferably the laundry composition in addition to the anionic surfactant comprises alkyl exthoylated non-ionic surfactant, preferably from 2 to 8 wt% of alkyl
alkoxylated, preferably ethoxylated, non-ionic surfactant. Suitable nonionic detergent compounds which may be used include, in particular, the reaction products of compounds having an aliphatic hydrophobic group and a reactive hydrogen atom, for example, aliphatic alcohols, acids or amides, especially ethylene oxide either alone or with propylene oxide. Specific nonionic detergent compounds are the condensation products of aliphatic Cs to C18 primary or secondary linear or branched alcohols with ethylene oxide.
Preferably the alkyl ethoxylated non-ionic surfactant is a Cs to C18 primary alcohol with an average ethoxylation of 7EO to 9EO units. The nonionic and anionic surfactants of the surfactant system may be chosen from the surfactants described "Surface Active Agents" Vol. 1 , by Schwartz & Perry, Interscience 1949, Vol. 2 by Schwartz, Perry & Berch, Interscience 1958, in the current edition of "McCutcheon's Emulsifiers and Detergents" published by
Manufacturing Confectioners Company or in "Tenside-Taschenbuch", H. Stache, 2nd Edn., Carl Hauser Verlag, 1981 .
Preferably the surfactants used are saturated.
Also applicable are surfactants such as those described in EP-A-328 177
(Unilever), which show resistance to salting-out, the alkyl polyglycoside surfactants described in EP-A-070 074, and alkyl monoglycosides.
In another aspect the charged surfactant may be a cationic such that the
formulation is a fabric conditioner. The detergent compositions based on anionic or anionic/non-ionic surfactants is however the more preferred embodiment.
Cationic Compound
When the present invention is used as a fabric conditioner it needs to contain a cationic compound.
Most preferred are quaternary ammonium compounds.
It is advantageous if the quaternary ammonium compound is a quaternary ammonium compound having at least one C12 to C22 alkyl chain.
It is preferred if the quaternary ammonium compound has the following formula:
R2
U
R1 -N-R3 X in which R1 is a C12 to C22 alkyl or alkenyl chain; R2, R3 and R4 are independently selected from Ci to C4 alkyl chains and X" is a compatible anion. A preferred compound of this type is the quaternary ammonium compound cetyl trimethyl quaternary ammonium bromide. A second class of materials for use with the present invention are the quaternary ammonium of the above structure in which R1 and R2 are independently selected from C12 to C22 alkyl or alkenyl chain; R3 and R4 are independently selected from Ci to C4 alkyl chains and X" is a compatible anion. The composition optionally comprises a silicone.

The composition may also contain 0-65 % of a builder or complexing agent such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, diethylenetriamine-pentaacetic acid, alkyl- or
alkenylsuccinic acid, nitrilotriacetic acid or the other builders mentioned below. Many builders are also bleach-stabilising agents by virtue of their ability to complex metal ions. Zeolite and carbonate (carbonate (including bicarbonate and sesquicarbonate) are preferred builders with carbonates being particularly preferred.
The composition may contain as builder a crystalline aluminosilicate, preferably an alkali metal aluminosilicate, more preferably a sodium aluminosilicate. This is typically present at a level of less than 15%w. Aluminosilicates are materials having the general formula:

Experimental Example 1
An aqueous liquid laundry detergent was prepared of the following formulation:
The formulation was used to wash eight 5 x 5cm knitted cotton cloth pieces in a tergotometer set at 200rpm. A one hour wash was conducted in 800ml of 6° French Hard water at 20°C, with 2.3 g/L of the formulation. To simulate particulate soil 0.04g/L of 100% compressed carbon black (ex Sigma-Aldrich) was added to the wash liquor. To simulate oily soil (6.3 g) of an SBL2004 soil strip ( ex Warwick Equest) was added to the wash liquor. Once the wash had been completed the cotton monitors were removed and dried and the reflectance measured on a reflectometer. The greyness was assessed from the
reflectance value at 740nm, R740, (UV-excluded).
Formulations were tested containing 8.7wt% Sokalan HP20 (BASF), an ethoxylated polyethylene imine polymer PEI(600) 20EO, as a comparison polymer for anti-redeposition benefits.
Formulation were tested containing 8.7wt% negatively charged Alkoxylated polyalkylphenol (Hostapal BV CONC ex Clariant which is 2,4,6-tributyl phenol ether sulphate with 7 EO).
The results are summarised in the table below. The 95% confidence limits are also given calculated from the standard deviation on the measurements from the 8 monitors. The R740 value is the mean of the measurements from the 8 monitors.
The tributyl phenol ether sulphate sodium salt increased the R740 of the monitors. High R74o values equate to a cleaner whiter fabrics. The alkoxylated polyalkylphenol provides significantly better benefits than the ethoxylated polyethyleneimine, Sokalan HP20, which under current condition provided no significant benefit.
