Definitions

  • the present invention relates to detergent compositions and their use to reduce spotting on dishware treated in a machine dishwasher.
  • Detergent compositions typically contain a number of different active components, including builders, surfactants, enzymes and bleaching agents.
  • Surfactants are employed to remove stains and soil and to disperse the released components into the cleaning liquid. Enzymes help to remove stubborn stains of proteins, starch and lipids by hydrolyzing these components. Bleach is used to remove stains by oxidizing the components that make up these stains.
  • 'builders' complexing agents
  • Phosphorous based builders have been used for many years in a wide variety of detergent compositions. Some of these phosphorus based builders, such as trisodium phosphate and sodium tripolyphospate (STPP), have set a benchmark in the dishwasher detergent industry as having excellent performance when it comes to reducing spotting and filming of dishware, such as glassware. As such, phosphorus- containing builder components are generally considered to be "high-performance" builders. As builder they are often present in relatively high amounts in the detergent composition.
  • sodium tripolyphosphate levels of 20 - 50 % are typical for phosphorous based build detergents.
  • High levels of phosphorous based builders in detergent compositions is nowadays seen as undesirable.
  • the use of phosphorous based builders in detergent compositions has led to environmental problems such as eutrophication. To curtail such problems many jurisdictions have, or are in the process of, issuing laws and regulations to restrict the maximum amount of phosphorous in detergent compositions.
  • alternative builders are alkali carbonates, glutamic-N,N-diacetate (GLDA), methyl-glycine diacetate (MGDA) and citrate.
  • alkali carbonates are widely used as low-cost builder in detergent compositions.
  • the additional benefit of alkali carbonate builders is that they provide efficient buffering of the wash liquor.
  • the use of alkali carbonates as builder generally means they are present in a relatively high amounts which presents certain problems.
  • Carbonate builders having scavenged calcium and/or magnesium ions from the wash liquor tend to precipitate. This in turn can cause scale formation and spotting and is particularly problematic for machine dishwashing applications of the detergent composition as scale and spotting is readily visible on dishware after machine dish wash treatment.
  • the main causes of spotting in machine dish washing are incomplete wetting during the main wash-stage and the presence of soil-containing (e.g. calcium carbonate containing) droplets at the start of the drying-stage. Obviously, spots present on dishware, after completion of the machine dish wash treatment is highly undesirable as it gives an unclean impression of the dishware.
  • It is an object of the present invention to provide a detergent composition comprising alkali carbonates (at levels of 20 to 80 wt. %), which when used as detergent in a machine dishwasher, results in less spotting on the treated dishware, while at the same time providing good cleaning and shine of the dishware as well as causing little or no filming and corrosion of the dishware.
  • Spotting on glass and metal surfaces is particularly undesirable. These tend to be smooth surfaces (e.g. as compared to wooden articles). Also glass surfaces are often appreciated for their transparent nature, while metal surfaces are often appreciated for their high reflective, even mirror-like properties. Spotting on glass and/or metal surfaces thus not only provides the items with an unclean impression, but also can negatively affect the particular qualities for which such surface are generally appreciated.
  • It is another object of the present invention to provide a detergent composition comprising alkali carbonates (at levels of 20 to 80 wt. %), which when used as detergent in a machine dishwasher, results in less spotting on treated metal and/or glass surfaces, while at the same time providing good cleaning and shine of the surfaces as well as causing little or no filming and corrosion of the surfaces.
  • a detergent composition comprising:
  • the use of the detergent composition according to the invention in machine dish wash provided effective cleaning (also providing good shine and little or no filming and corrosion) of dishware with little or no spotting. It was particularly effective in reducing the amount of spotting on treated glass and metal surfaces. More surprisingly the use of 0.1 to 9.0 wt. % of the mixture of a) and b) acts synergistically in the detergent composition according to the invention to reduce the spotting when compared to the use of a) or b) alone. In general these findings are the more surprising since the total amount of phosphonates, phosphonic acids, phosphates and phosphoric acids is far below typical builder levels.
  • Weight percentage is based on the total weight of the composition unless otherwise stated. It will be appreciated that the total weight amount of ingredients will not exceed 100 wt. % based on total weight of the composition. Whenever an amount or concentration of a component is quantified herein, unless indicated otherwise, the quantified amount or quantified concentration relates to said component per se, even though it may be common practice to add such a component in the form of a solution or of a blend with one or more other ingredients. It is furthermore to be understood that the verb "to comprise” and its conjugations is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded.
