Description

HARD SURFACE TREATMENT COMPOSITION Field of the invention
The present invention is in the field of hard surface treatment compositions; and in particular relates to cleaning compositions that can provide long lasting hygiene to hard surfaces.
Background of the invention
Hard surface cleaners is a category of cleaning agents comprising mainly aqueous solutions of specialty chemicals that vary with the amount of dirt and the surface being cleaned. The different types of hard surface cleaners include all purpose cleaners, glass cleaners, metal cleaners, building facade cleaners, toilet bowl cleaners, scouring agents etc. Toilet bowl cleaning often is aimed at removal of calcium carbonate deposits, which are attacked by acids. Powdered cleaners contain acids that come in the form of solid salts, such as sodium hydrogen sulphate. Liquid toilet bowl cleaners contain other acids, typically dilute hydrochloric, phosphoric, or formic acids. These convert the calcium carbonate into salts that are soluble in water or are easily rinsed away.
However, the cleaning and disinfecting benefits achieved from such acid cleaners are limited. Therefore, there still lies a need for cleaning compositions which can provide prolonged hygiene benefits to hard surfaces like toilet bowls.
Silanes are well known in the art for delivering hydrophobic properties and a long lasting antimicrobial effect to hard surfaces as they prevent the deposition of dirt and microorganisms. However, addition of silanes to an acid based formulation disturbs the stability of the composition.
WO 97/36980 relates to an acidic cleaning formulation containing a surface
modification agent selected from the group consisting of a hydrolyzed trialkoxysilane and a hydrolyzable quaternary silane.
GB 2 340 501 A relates to acidic hard surface cleaning and disinfecting compositions providing a protective layer for water and stain repellency.
US 2010/0093666 A1 relates to antimicrobial organosilane compositions, compounds, products, and methods for their use. US 5,41 1 ,585 discloses a method of improving the stability and broadening the range of pH stability of an aqueous solution of from about 0.001 % to 5% by weight of a water soluble organosilane containing silicon-bonded hydrolyzable groups, particularly water soluble quaternary ammonium functional organosilanes, by the addition of a water soluble organic non-silicon quaternary ammonium compound and at least one of non- ionic, amphoteric, sarcosine, anionic, and certain types of cationic surfactants. The resulting stable aqueous solutions are useful for depositing the water soluble organosilane on a variety of substrates to, among other things, serve as coupling agents, waterproofing agents and to render substrates antimicrobial and algicidal depending upon the nature of the organosilane. This document discloses as a thickener a water soluble non-ionic polymer Natrosol™ hydroxyethylcellulose.
However, hydroxyethylcellulose is a non-ionic polymer not suitable in the present invention. It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a stable acidic hard surface treatment composition with hydrophobic properties.
It is another object of the invention to provide a hard surface cleaning composition that provides prolonged hygiene benefits to hard surfaces.
Surprisingly, it has been found that specific water soluble non-ionic polymers having a specific molecular weight can stabilise silane in an acidic composition.
Summary of the invention
Accordingly, in a first aspect, the invention provides a hard surface treatment composition comprising
a 0.1 to 10% by weight of a mixture of acid stable surfactants selected from cationic and non-ionic surfactants;

wherein the pH of the composition is less than or equal to 2, and

In a second aspect, the invention provides a method for providing prolonged hygiene to a surface comprising the steps in sequence of applying the composition according to the invention onto a surface; allowing the surface to dry; and rinsing the surface.

dimethyloctadecyl[3(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ammonium chloride, dimethyltetradecyl[3(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ammonium chloride and methyldidecyl[3- (trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ammonium chloride.
Preferred silanes are dimethyloctadecyl[3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl]ammonium chloride and dimethyloctadecyl[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ammonium chloride.
Cationic silane is present in the composition in a concentration of 0.05 to 0.4%, preferably at least 0.1 %, more preferably at least 0.15% but typically not more than 0.3%, preferably not more than 0.2% by weight of the composition.
Non-ionic polymer
The hard surface treatment composition of the present invention comprises a non-ionic polymer which is water soluble. The non-ionic polymer is selected from
formula B
-(-CH2- CH-)n- I
OH
where,
n= 3-2300.
The non-ionic polymer of the present invention has a molecular weight of between 10 and 150 kDa, preferably between 10 and 100 kDa, more preferably between 50 and 100 kDa.
It is particularly preferred that for a superior antimicrobial effect, the molecular weight of the polymer is between 50 and 150 kDa, preferably between 60 and 150 kDa, more preferably between 70 and 130 kDa, still more preferably between 80 and 120 kDa or even more preferably between 80 and 100 kDa.
The non-ionic polymer is present in the composition in a concentration of 0.05 to 4%, preferably at least 0.1%, more preferably at least 0.5%, still more preferably at least 1 % but typically not more than 3%, preferably not more than 2% by weight of the composition. Cationic silane and non-ionic polymer are present in the composition in a ratio of 1 :10 to 3.5:1 , preferably between 1 :5 and 1 :1 , based on the weight of the silane and non- ionic polymer. eH
The pH of the hard surface treatment composition is less than or equal to 2, preferably between 1 and 2.
The pH of the composition is achieved using a strong acid.
The strength of an acid generally refers to its ability or tendency to lose a proton (H+). A strong acid is one that completely ionizes (dissociates) in a solution. For example, in water, one mole of a strong acid HA dissolves yielding one mole of H+ (as hydronium ion H3<D+) and one mole of the conjugate base, A". Essentially none of the non-ionized acid HA remains. Hence strong acid can be defined as acids having pKa <1.
Examples of strong acids include hydrochloric acid, hydroiodic acid, hydrobromic acid, perchloric acid, nitric acid, sulphuric acid and sulphamic acid. Acids preferred for use in the present invention are hydrochloric acid and sulphamic acid.
Water
The hard surface treatment composition of the present invention comprises 65 to 90% by weight of water, preferably at least 70%, more preferably at least 75% but typically not more than 85%, preferably not more than 80% by weight of the composition.
Viscosity
The composition is preferably somewhat viscous. Consumers typically do not associate water thin compositions with high active (i.e. concentrated) detergent compositions. However, the viscosity should not be so high that the liquid is no longer pourable.
Viscosity describes a fluid's internal resistance to flow and may be thought of as a measure of fluid friction. Simply put, the less viscous the fluid is, the greater its ease of movement (fluidity). The viscosity of the compositions according to the invention is preferably between 100 and 2000 cP (1 cP = 10"2 P = 10"3 Pa-s = 1 mPa-s), more preferably between 500 and 1500, when measured using Haake Viscometer , VT550 (with "cup and "bob"), MV 2 bob at shear rate of 21 s"1 and at a temperature of 20°C.
Optional ingredients
Common cleaner and aesthetic additives such as perfumery molecules including encapsulates, fluorescers and optical brighteners, antimicrobial actives such as essential oils and cationic amino surfactants, anti insect actives such as DEET and picaridin, fluoropolymers/ flurosurfactants, viscosity modifiers such as gum resins, polysaccharides, fatty alcohols, polyols (such as polyvinyl alcohol, glycerol), ingredients that give a delayed release of perfumes, room freshening agents and anti stick agents, viscosifying agents such as gums (Xanthum, guar, kelzan), polymers (derivatives of polysaccharides), stabilizers such as polyols (polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene glycols or copolymers), fluorosilanes, flouro surfactants, flouro siloxanes or fluoro polymers for anti oil sticking, oil repellence and easy oil removal properties, chelating agents such as hydroxamate, EDTA, NTA, DTPA type metal chelators, citrate and organic crystal habit modifying agents, surface care actives such as silicone emulsion, silicone resins, surface curing agents and silicone elastomers.

Preparing the compositions:
All the compositions were prepared in Heidolph overhead stirrer, model RZR 2051 control. Ingredients were dosed sequentially into the main mixer in the order of water, sulphamic acid, amine ethoxylate 2EO, premix solution of cationic silane and solution of non-ionic polymer, cetyl trimethylammonium chloride, sequestrant and hydrochloric acid. Before the addition of the next ingredient, it was ensured that the previous ingredient was dissolved completely. Perfume and dye, if required can be added to the main mixer before introduction of hydrochloric acid.
Stability:
Compositions which did not phase separate and were isotropic (clear visually/ slightly turbid) were considered to be stable while compositions which exhibited any phase separation/ precipitation observed immediately after preparation were considered to be unstable.
Contact angle measurements:
Contact angle in accordance with the present invention is the angle at which the liquid interface meets a solid surface. The contact angle determines the hydrophobicity imparted to a surface. Contact angles above 40° are considered to be good, more preferably above 70°. The contact angle of the sessile droplet was measured using a
Kruss Goniometer by placing a 10 microlitre of distilled water droplet on the substrate.
All contact angle measurements were done on commercially available ceramic tiles.
About one gram of the product was applied on a (10X10cm) tile. Using a brush, the product was spread on the tile and was allowed to be in contact with the surface for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, the product was rinsed off with water along with brushing and then the contact angle was measured.
Hygiene assessment of the compositions using EN 1276:
For hygiene assessment, the product was diluted with sterile water at different ratio (from 1 :0 to 1 :2000). 8 ml of the diluted samples were taken in a 100 ml sample container. A bacterial saline suspension containing 108 cells was prepared. 4.1 ml of the bacterial suspension was added to 1 ml of sterile 0.3% BSA solution or (simulating clean conditions) 1 ml of sterile 3% BSA solution (simulating dirty conditions) and allowed to stand for 2 minutes. At the end of this contact period, the mixture was transferred into the sample container containing the dilutions of the compositions. At the end of 5 minutes contact time, the mixture was vortexed and 1 ml of it was transferred to 9 ml of neutralizing broth (D/E) containing tube. Serial dilutions of this were carried out in D/E and further enumeration was carried out using TSA medium. Results were recorded after 24-48 hours of incubation at 37°C and log reduction was calculated. Dilution at which greater than 5 log reduction in bacterial numbers was obtained was considered to pass the EN 1276 hygiene assessment.
