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.

Description
- 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.
- Calcium and magnesium ions in the wash liquor can have a negative effect on the removal of stains/soils by detergent compositions. In order to reduce the negative effects of such ions so called 'builders' (complexing agents) are commonly applied in detergent compositions. 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. For example 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. As such there has been a need for more environmentally friendly alternative builders, which have on-par effectiveness and are also cost-effective. Examples of alternative builders are alkali carbonates, glutamic-N,N-diacetate (GLDA), methyl-glycine diacetate (MGDA) and citrate.
- In particular 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. However, 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.
-
US2004/0058846 recognizes the problem of spotting of glassware when cleaned using a machine dish washer and mentions that such spots can be removed by further manual cleaning using a dishcloth. This solution is clearly not satisfactory as involving a further cleaning step and requiring further effort from the consumer. Further relevant art disclosing dishwashing compositions comprising copolymers are disclosed inEP2700703A1 andUS2015/0252295A1 . - 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.
- One or more of the above objects are achieved by a detergent composition comprising:
- from 20 to 80 wt. % of alkali carbonate; and
- from 1.0 to 10 wt. % of nonionic surfactant; and
- from 1.0 to 10 wt.% of copolymer comprising:
- i. monomers containing sulfonic acid groups;
- ii. further ionic and/or nonionic monomers; and
- from 0.1 to 9.0 wt. % of a mixture of:
- a) phosphonates, phosphonic acids or a combination thereof; and
- b) phosphates, phosphoric acids or a combination thereof.
- It was surprisingly found that 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 (wt. %) 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. Finally, reference to an element by the indefinite article "a" or "an" does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the elements is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be one and only one of the elements. The indefinite article "a" or "an" thus usually means "at least one".
- The use of alkali carbonate is known in the field of detergent making. In particular alkali carbonate is appreciated in view of its double-function as builder and buffer. The detergent composition according to the invention comprises from 20 to 80 wt.% of alkali carbonate. The preferred amount of alkali carbonate is from 30 to 75 wt.%, more preferably from 35 to 70 wt.% and even more preferably from 40 to 65 wt.%. Such levels of alkali carbonate provide good Ca2+ and Mg2+ ion scavenging for most types of water hardness levels, as well as other builder effects, such as providing good buffering capacity. The preferred alkali carbonates are sodium- and/or potassium carbonate of which sodium carbonate is particularly preferred. It is further preferred that sodium carbonate makes up at least 75 wt. %, more preferably at least 85 wt. % and even more preferably at least 90 wt. % of the total weight of the alkali carbonate.
- The alkali carbonate present in the composition according to the invention can be present as such or as part of a more complex ingredient (e.g. sodium carbonate in sodium percarbonate). The determination of the total amount of alkali carbonate takes into account the amount of alkali carbonate added as such, as well as added as part of more complex ingredients.
- The composition according to the invention may comprise further builders, besides alkali carbonates.
- Further builders which can be used in the detergent composition according to the invention can be non-aminocarboxylate polycarboxylic acid builders and/or their salts.

Such (PO/EO/PO) nonionic surfactants are furthermore distinguished by good foam control. Further nonionic surfactants with melting points above room temperature which are particularly preferably to be used contain 40 to 70% of a polyoxypropylene/ polyoxyethylene/ polyoxypropylene block polymer blend, which contains 75 wt. % of a reverse block copolymer of polyoxyethylene and polyoxypropylene with 17 mol of ethylene oxide and 44 mol of propylene oxide and 25 wt. % of a block copolymer of polyoxyethylene and polyoxypropylene, initiated with trimethylolpropane and containing 24 mol of ethylene oxide and 99 mol of propylene oxide per mol of trimethylolpropane.

Among these, surfactants with EO-AO-EO-AO blocks are in turn preferred, with in each case one to ten EO or AO groups being attached to one another before being followed by a block of the respective other groups. Preferred nonionic surfactants are those of the general formula

Residue R1 in the above formula may vary depending on the origin of the alcohol. If natural sources are used, the residue R1 comprises an even number of carbon atoms and is generally unbranched, preference being given to linear residues from alcohols of natural origin with 12 to 18 C atoms, for example from coconut, palm, tallow fat or oleyl alcohol. Alcohols obtainable from synthetic sources are for example Guerbet alcohols or residues methyl-branched in position 2 or linear and methyl-branched residues in a mixture as are conventionally present in oxo alcohol residues. Irrespective of the nature of the alcohol used for producing nonionic surfactants contained in the preparations, preferred nonionic surfactants are those in which R1 in the above formula denotes an allyl residue with 6 to 24, more preferably with 8 to 20, even more preferably with 9 to 15 and still even more preferably with 9 to 11 carbon atoms.

R2 denotes a linear or branched hydrocarbon residue with 2 to 26 carbon atoms or mixtures thereof and x denotes values between 0.5 and 1.5 and y denotes a value of at least 15.
- Use of the above-described nonionic surfactants with a free hydroxyl group on one of the two terminal alkyl residues, can aid the formulation of film deposits in machine dishwashing.
- Particularly preferred end group-terminated poly(oxyalkylated) nonionic surfactants are furthermore those of the formula R1O[CH2CH2O]x[CH2CH(R3)O]yCH2CH(OH)R2, in which R1 and R2 mutually independently denote a linear or branched, saturated or mono- or polyunsaturated hydrocarbon residue with 2 to 26 carbon atoms, R3 is mutually independently selected from -CH3, -CH2CH3, -CH2CH2-CH3, -CH(CH3)2 but preferably denotes -CH3, and x and y mutually independently denote values between 1 and 32, with nonionic surfactants with R3 = -CH3 and values of x from 15 to 32 and y of 0.5 and 1.5 being very particularly preferred.
- Further usable nonionic surfactants are the end group-terminated poly(oxyalkylated) nonionic surfactants of the formula R1O[CH2CH(R3)O]x[CH2]kCH(OH)[CH2]jOR2, in which R1 and R2 denote linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated, aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon residues with 1 to 30 carbon atoms, R3 denotes H or a methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, iso-propyl, n-butyl, 2-butyl or 2-methyl-2-butyl residue, x denotes values between 1 and 30, k and j denote values between 1 and 12, preferably between 1 and 5. If the value of x is ≥ 2, each R3 in the above formula R1O[CH2CH(R3)O]x[CH2]kCH(OH)[CH2]jOR2 may be different. R1 and R2 are preferably linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated, aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon residues with 6 to 22 carbon atoms, residues with 8 to 18 C atoms being particularly preferred. H, -CH3 or -CH2CH3 are particularly preferred for the residue R3. Particularly preferred values for x are in the range from 1 to 20, in particular from 6 to 15.
- As described above, each R3 in the above formula may be different if x ≥ 2. In this manner, it is possible to vary the alkylene oxide unit in the square brackets. For example, if x denotes 3, the residue R3 may be selected in order to form ethylene oxide (R3 = H) or propylene oxide (R3 = CH3) units, which may be attached to one another in any sequence, for example (EO)(PO)(EO), (EO)(EO)(PO), (EO)(EO)(EO), (PO)(EO)(PO), (PO)(PO)(EO) and (PO)(PO)(PO). The value 3 for x has been selected here by way of example and may perfectly well be larger, the range of variation increasing as the value of x rises and for example comprising a large number of (EO) groups combined with a small number of (PO) groups or vice versa.
- Particularly preferred end group-terminated poly(oxyalkylated) alcohols of the above-stated formula have values of k=1 and j=1, such that the above formula simplifies to R1O[CH2CH(R3)O]xCH2CH(OH)CH2OR2. In the latter-stated formula, R1, R2 and R3 are defined as above and x denotes numbers from 1 to 30, preferably from 1 to 20 and in particular from 6 to 18. Particularly preferred surfactants are those in which the residues R1 and R2 comprise 9 to 14 C atoms, R3 denotes H and x assumes values from 6 to 15.
- The stated C chain lengths and degrees of ethoxylation or degrees of alkoxylation of the above-stated nonionic surfactants are statistical averages which, for a specific product, may be an integer or a fractional number. Due to production methods, commercial products of the stated formulae do not in the main consist of an individual representative, but instead of mixtures, whereby not only the C-chain lengths but also the degrees of ethoxylation or degrees of alkoxylation may be averages and consequently fractional numbers.

US-A-4,751,015 . - Preferably the composition according to the invention comprises a bleach catalyst. It is particularly preferred that that the composition comprises a bleach catalyst which is a manganese complex, such as Mn-Me TACN, as described in
EP-A-0458397 , and/or the sulphonimines ofUS-A- 5,041,232 andUS-A-5,047,163 . It is advantageous that the bleach catalyst is present in the composition in the form of an encapsulate, notably an encapsulate that is separate from the bleach particles (to avoid premature bleach activation). Cobalt or iron catalysts can also be used. - Preferably the composition according to the invention further comprises protease, amylase or a combination thereof and more preferably comprises a combination of protease and amylase.
- Silicates are known ingredients in the field of machine dish wash detergent compositions. Silicates are included to provide dish wash care benefits, and reduce corrosion of dishware and especially of glass and aluminium surfaces. Silicates may also have some builder activity, but in this specification silicates are not considered as builder. Silicates are preferably used in the detergent composition according to the invention. Particularly preferred silicates are sodium disilicate, sodium metasilicate and crystalline phyllosilicates or mixtures thereof. If present the total amount of silicates preferably is from 1 to 15 wt. %, more preferably form 2 to 10 wt. % and even more preferably from 2.5 to 5.0 wt. % by weight of the composition.
- The detergent composition according to the invention may be in any suitable form such as for example a liquid, a (encapsulated) powder, grains, pastilles, a paste, a slurry, or a tablet.
- The composition is preferably provided as a water-soluble or water-dispersible unit dose, in particular in the form of pouches (i.e. comprising non-shape stable ingredients, such as liquid and/or powders) or tablets. Preferably the unit dose is sized and shaped as to fit in the detergent cup of a conventional house-hold machine dishwasher, as is known in the art.
- If the composition is in the form of a tablet, for the purpose of improving hygiene and consumer safety, it is highly preferred that the tablet is wrapped. The wrapper can be water-soluble or water-insoluble. Water-soluble wrappers, such as based on polyvinylalcohol (PVA) are preferred. This prevents direct contact of the detergent composition with the skin of the consumer when placing the unit dose in the detergent cup of a machine dishwasher. A further benefit of course is that the consumer also does not need to remove a water-soluble wrapping before placement in the detergent cup.
- Unit dose pouches can have one or multiple compartments. In case of multi-compartmented unit dose pouches, it is preferred that at least one compartment holds a powder or a liquid, such as a liquid surfactant.
Preferred unit dose tablets are those which have more than one visually distinct tablet region. Such regions can be formed by e.g. two distinct (colored) layers or a tablet having a main body and a distinct insert, such as forming a nested-egg. However oriented, one benefit of such multi-compartmental pouches/ multi-region tablets is that it can be used to reduce/prevent undesired chemical reactions between two or more ingredients during storage by (partial) physical segregation. - More preferably the detergent composition according to the invention is in the form of a tablet with particular preference for multi-layered tablet. As multi-layered tablet, at least part of the bleach catalyst is advantageously in a separate layer from any oxidizing agent, such as percarbonate.
- The detergent composition according to the invention preferably comprises from 2.0 to 16 wt. % of binder, wherein preferably the binder comprises at least 50 wt. %, based on the total amount of binder, of polyethyleneglycol (PEG). The preferred PEG has an average molecular weight of from 2000 to 8000 g/mol, such as PEG4000.The addition of binder enhances structural integrity of the tablet, which can be observed by less broken tablets and/or less powder residue upon exposure of the tablets to mechanical stress, such as experienced during transport.
- The detergent compositions according to the invention can be made using known methods and equipment in the field of machine dishwashing detergent composition manufacturing. The detergent composition according to the invention can be made by combining all the ingredients in the amounts as specified in composition according the invention followed by mixing.
- The invention further relates to the use of a mixture of a) phosphonates, phosphonic acids or a combination thereof, and b) phosphates, phosphoric acids or a combination thereof; in a detergent composition to reduce spotting on dishware and preferably on glass and/or metal surfaces treated in a machine dishwasher. Preferred aspects in the context of the detergent composition according to the invention are also applicable as preferred aspects in the context of the use according to the invention mutatis mutandis.
- The invention is now illustrated by the following non-limiting examples.
- Spotting was evaluated in a viewing cabinet, which was painted black on the inside. To assess the spotting, an article is placed in the cabinet and illuminated with some light source (Philips master TL-D 36 W / 865 2M, 120 cm long) from beneath in case of glass articles, or from above, in case of non-glass articles. The spotting score of an article is based on counting the number of spots. A spotting score of 9 indicates no spots, a spotting score of 1 indicates the article is full of spots.
Spotting value Description of spotting value 9 None 8 1-3 Spots 7 4-10 Spots 6 11-25 Spots 5 26-35 Spots 4 36-50 Spots 3 More than 50 spots, 60% of the surface covered with spots 2 75% of the surface covered with spots 1 The entire surface is covered with spots - Detergent compositions were prepared with a formulation as set out in Table 1. In each case, the respective ingredients were incorporated in powdered or granular form and dry-mixed before being compacted to form tablets.
Table 1. Formulation according to Example 1 and Comparative A, B and C. Amounts represent wt. % of ingredients. Comp. A Comp. B Comp. C Ex. 1 Na-citrate 25.0 25.0 25.0 25.0 Na-carbonate 34.2 34.2 34.2 34.2 Na-disillicate 3.0 3.0 3.0 3.0 Na-percarbonate 13.0 13.0 13.0 13.0 Bleach catalyst granule 1.5 1.5 1.5 1.5 protease 0.9 0.9 0.9 0.9 amylase 0.6 0.6 0.6 0.6 Acrylic/sulfonic copolymer 4.2 4.2 4.2 4.2 Acrylic homopolymer 1.3 1.3 1.3 1.3 Nonionic surfactant 3.3 3.3 3.3 3.3 PEG4000 7.5 7.5 7.5 7.5 STPP - - 3.0 3.0 Na-HEDP - 2.0 - 2.0 Other minors to 100% to 100% to 100% to 100% - 20 grams of detergent composition according to Example 1 or Comparative A, B or C were applied as detergent in a Miele GSL dishwasher. The following machine dish wash conditions were used:
- program: 50 degrees Celsius
- method of dosing detergent composition: via dispenser (detergent cup)
- water supply: water tank with water at 15 degrees Celsius
- ballast soil: 1 cup de-frozen Tensio soil
- Program repeats: 1
- Washes 6
- A variety of dishware articles were placed in the machine dishwasher and subjected to the cleaning program using the conditions as described above. Subsequently the dishware articles were evaluated for spotting, the results thereof are given in Table 2.
Table 2. Spotting results (higher number indicates less spotting). Comp. A Comp. B Comp. C Ex. 1 Glass 3.44 3.22 2.78 5.11 Metal 7.00 7.00 7.00 8.00 Earthenware 3.00 6.50 6.00 8.00 Plastic 4.25 3.25 2.75 3.50 Overall 17.69 19.97 18.53 24.61 - The results from Comparative A represent the situation wherein no HEDP or STTP has been added to the detergent composition. As can be observed from the results, the presence of HEDP (Comparative B) or STTP (Comparative C) in the detergent composition improves spotting on Earthenware articles, but actually worsens spotting on glass and plastic articles. As such it is quite unexpected that by combining both HEDP and STTP (Example 1) in the detergent composition it improves spotting on glass and metal articles. In fact, the improvement in spotting of Example 1 shows that the combination of HEDP and STTP acts synergistically to improve spotting: it is more than what could be expected by the sum of the effects as observed from Comparative B (HEDP) and Comparative C (STTP) in view of Comparative A (no HEDP, no STTP).
