Definitions

  • the present invention relates to liquid laundry detergents which contain fragrance, and especially concerns liquid laundry detergents which contain a combination of encapsulated and free fragrance.
  • fragrance at key moments is a difficult task since laundry washing liquids are usually designed to carry oily materials or particulate solids away from the laundered fabric. Fragrances, however, are also typically oily materials.
  • WO 2010/079467 A2 disclose detergent compositions comprising encapsulated fragrance and free fragrance dispersed in the composition.
  • Encapsulation of fragrance allows for improved deposition of fragrance to fabric, as well as delaying the release of fragrance when the consumer garment is being worn.
  • Another important moment to the consumer is when the laundry is in the "damp" phase, which extends from when the garments are being removed from the washing machine, to when they are almost dry.
  • the present invention addresses this problem.
  • the present invention provides a liquid laundry detergent composition comprising:
  • the fragrance formulation (f1) will typically contain a blend of selected fragrant components, optionally mixed with one or more excipients.
  • the combined odours of the various fragrant components produce a pleasant or desired fragrance.
  • fragment component in the context of this invention denotes a material which is used essentially for its ability to impart a pleasant odour to a composition (into which it is incorporated), and/or a surface (to which it is applied), either on its own or in admixture with other such materials. Materials having these characteristics are generally small, lipophilic molecules of sufficient volatility to be transported to the olfactory system in the upper part of the nose.
  • Fragrant components for use in the invention will typically have molecular weights of less than 325 atomic mass units, preferably less than 300 atomic mass units and more preferably less than 275 atomic mass units.
  • the molecular weight is preferably greater than 100 atomic mass units and more preferably greater than 125 atomic mass units, since lower masses may be too volatile and/or insufficiently lipophilic to be effective.
  • Fragrant components for use in the invention will preferably have a molecular structure which does not contain halogen atoms and/or strongly ionizing functional groups such as sulfonates, sulfates, or quaternary ammonium ions.
  • Fragrant components for use in the invention will more preferably have a molecular structure containing only atoms from among, but not necessarily all, of the following: hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and sulphur. Most preferably the fragrant components will have a molecular structure containing only atoms from among, but not necessarily all, of the following: hydrogen, carbon and oxygen.
  • fragrant components include aromatic, aliphatic and araliphatic hydrocarbons having molecular weights from about 90 to about 250; aromatic, aliphatic and araliphatic esters having molecular weights from about 130 to about 250; aromatic, aliphatic and araliphatic nitriles having molecular weights from about 90 to about 250; aromatic, aliphatic and araliphatic alcohols having molecular weights from about 90 to about 240; aromatic, aliphatic and araliphatic ketones having molecular weights from about 150 to about 270; aromatic, aliphatic and araliphatic lactones having molecular weights from about 130 to about 290; aromatic, aliphatic and araliphatic aldehydes having molecular weights from about 90 to about 230; aromatic, aliphatic and araliphatic ethers having molecular weights from about 150 to about 270; and condensation products of aldehydes and amines having molecular weights from about
  • fragrant components for use in the invention include:
  • Essential oils are usually extracted by processes of steam distillation, solid-phase extraction, cold pressing, solvent extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, hydrodistillation or simultaneous distillation-extraction.
  • Essential oils may be derived from several different parts of the plant, including for example leaves, flowers, roots, buds, twigs, rhizomes, heartwood, bark, resin, seeds and fruits.
  • the major plant families from which essential oils are extracted include Asteraceae, Myrtaceae, Lauraceae, Lamiaceae, Myrtaceae, Rutaceae and Zingiberaceae.
  • the oil is "essential" in the sense that it carries a distinctive scent, or essence, of the plant.
  • Essential oils are understood by those skilled in the art to be complex mixtures which generally consist of several tens or hundreds of constituents. Most of these constiuents possess an isoprenoid skeleton with 10 atoms of carbon (monoterpenes), 15 atoms of carbon (sesquiterpenes) or 20 atoms of carbon (diterpenes). Lesser quantities of other constituents can also be found, such as alcohols, aldehydes, esters and phenols. However, an individual essential oil is usually considered as a single ingredient in the context of practical fragrance formulation. Therefore, an individual essential oil may be considered as a single fragrant component for the purposes of this invention.
  • essential oils for use as fragrant components in the invention include cedarwood oil, juniper oil, cumin oil, cinnamon bark oil, camphor oil, rosewood oil, ginger oil, basil oil, eucalyptus oil, lemongrass oil, peppermint oil, rosemary oil, spearmint oil, tea tree oil, frankincense oil, chamomile oil, clove oil, jasmine oil, lavender oil, rose oil, ylang-ylang oil, bergamot oil, grapefruit oil, lemon oil, lime oil, orange oil, fir needle oil, galbanum oil, geranium oil, grapefruit oil, pine needle oil, caraway oil, labdanum oil, lovage oil, marjoram oil, mandarin oil, clary sage oil, nutmeg oil, myrtle oil, clove oil, neroli oil, patchouli oil, sandalwood oil, thyme oil, verbena oil, vetiver oil and wintergreen oil.
  • the number of different fragrant components contained in the fragrance formulation (f1) will generally be at least 4, preferably at least 6, more preferably at least 8 and most preferably at least 10, such as from 10 to 200 and more preferably from 10 to 100.
  • no single fragrant component will comprise more than 70% by weight of the total weight of fragrance formulation (f1).
  • no single fragrant component will comprise more than 60% by weight of the total weight of fragrance formulation (f1) and more preferably no single fragrant component will comprise more than 50% by weight of the total weight of fragrance formulation (f1).
  • fragrance formulation in the context of this invention denotes the fragrant components as defined above, plus any optional excipients.
  • Excipients may be included within fragrance formulations for various purposes, for example as solvents for insoluble or poorly-soluble components, as diluents for the more potent components or to control the vapour pressure and evaporation characteristics of the fragrance formulation. Excipients may have many of the characteristics of fragrant components but they do not have strong odours in themselves. Accordingly, excipients may be distinguished from fragrant components because they can be added to fragrance formulations in high proportions such as 30% or even 50% by weight of the total weight of the fragrance formulation without significantly changing the odour quality of the fragrance formulation.
  • excipients include ethanol, isopropanol, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, dipropylene glycol, diethyl phthalate and triethyl citrate. Mixtures of any of the above described materials may also be suitable.
  • a suitable fragrance formulation (f1) for use in the invention comprises a blend of at least 10 fragrant components selected from hydrocarbons i); aliphatic and araliphatic alcohols ii); aliphatic aldehydes and their acetals iv); aliphatic carboxylic acids and esters thereof viii); acyclic terpene alcohols ix); cyclic terpene aldehydes and ketones xii); cyclic and cycloaliphatic ethers xiii); esters of cyclic alcohols xvi); esters of araliphatic alcohols and aliphatic carboxylic acids xviii); araliphatic ethers and their acetals xix); aromatic and araliphatic aldehydes and ketones xx) and aromatic and araliphatic carboxylic acids and esters thereof xxi); as are further described and exemplified above.
  • the content of fragrant components preferably ranges from 50 to 100%, more preferably from 60 to 100% and most preferably from 75 to 100% by weight based on the total weight of fragrance formulation (f1); with one or more excipients (as described above) making up the balance of the fragrance formulation (f1) as necessary.
  • Fragrance formulation (f1) is in the form of free droplets dispersed in the composition.
  • free droplets in the context of this invention denotes droplets which are not entrapped within discrete polymeric microparticles.
  • the level of fragrance formulation (f1) will generally range from 0.1 to 0.75%, and preferably ranges from 0.3 to 0.6% (by weight based on the total weight of the composition).
  • a fragrance formulation (f2) for use in the invention will typically contain a blend of selected fragrant components, optionally mixed with one or more excipients, as described above for fragrance formulation (f1).
  • Fragrance formulation (f2) and fragrance formulation (f1) may be the same or different. Fragrance formulation (f2) is entrapped within discrete polymeric microparticles dispersed within the composition.
  • the microparticle for use in the invention is a microcapsule.
  • Microencapsulation may be defined as the process of surrounding or enveloping one substance within another substance on a very small scale, yielding capsules ranging from less than one micron to several hundred microns in size.
  • the material that is encapsulated may be called the core, the active ingredient or agent, fill, payload, nucleus, or internal phase.
  • the material encapsulating the core may be referred to as the coating, membrane, shell, or wall material.
  • the microcapsules have at least one generally spherical continuous shell surrounding the core.
  • the shell may contain pores, vacancies or interstitial openings depending on the materials and encapsulation techniques employed.
  • Multiple shells may be made of the same or different encapsulating materials, and may be arranged in strata of varying thicknesses around the core.
  • the shell may have a barrier function protecting the core material from the environment external to the microcapsule, but it may also act as a means of modulating the release of core materials such as fragrance.
  • a shell may be water soluble or water swellable and fragrance release may be actuated in response to exposure of the microcapsules to a moist environment.
  • a microcapsule might release fragrance in response to elevated temperatures.
  • Microcapsules may also release fragrance in response to shear forces applied to the surface of the microcapsules.
  • the polymeric microparticle for use in the invention is a polymeric core-shell microcapsule in which at least one generally spherical continuous shell of polymeric material surrounds a core containing the fragrance formulation (f2).
  • the shell will typically comprise at most 20% by weight based on the total weight of the microcapsule.
  • the fragrance formulation (f2) will typically comprise from about 10 to about 60% and preferably from about 20 to about 40% by weight based on the total weight of the microcapsule.
  • the amount of fragrance (f2) may be measured by taking a slurry of the microcapsules, extracting into ethanol and measuring by liquid chromatography.
  • Polymeric core-shell microcapsules may be prepared using methods known to those skilled in the art such as coacervation, interfacial polymerization, and polycondensation.
  • Coacervation typically involves encapsulation of a generally water-insoluble core material by the precipitation of colloidal material(s) onto the surface of droplets of the material.
  • Coacervation may be simple e.g. using one colloid such as gelatin, or complex where two or possibly more colloids of opposite charge, such as gelatin and gum arabic or gelatin and carboxymethyl cellulose, are used under carefully controlled conditions of pH, temperature and concentration.
  • Interfacial polymerisation typically proceeds with the formation of a fine dispersion of oil droplets (the oil droplets containing the core material) in an aqueous continuous phase.
  • the dispersed droplets form the core of the future microcapsule and the dimensions of the dispersed droplets directly determine the size of the subsequent microcapsules.
  • Microcapsule shell-forming materials are contained in both the dispersed phase (oil droplets) and the aqueous continuous phase and they react together at the phase interface to build a polymeric wall around the oil droplets thereby to encapsulate the droplets and form core-shell microcapsules.
  • An example of a core-shell microcapsule produced by this method is a polyurea microcapsule with a shell formed by reaction of diisocyanates or polyisocyanates with diamines or polyamines.
  • Polycondensation involves forming a dispersion or emulsion of the core material in an aqueous solution of precondensate of polymeric materials under appropriate conditions of agitation to produce capsules of a desired size, and adjusting the reaction conditions to cause condensation of the precondensate by acid catalysis, resulting in the condensate separating from solution and surrounding the dispersed core material to produce a coherent film and the desired microcapsules.
  • An example of a core-shell microcapsule produced by this method is an aminoplast microcapsule with a shell formed from the polycondensation product of melamine (2,4,6-triamino-1,3,5-triazine) or urea with formaldehyde.
  • Suitable cross-linking agents e.g. toluene diisocyanate, divinyl benzene, butanediol diacrylate
  • secondary wall polymers may also be used as appropriate, e.g. anhydrides and their derivatives, particularly polymers and copolymers of maleic anhydride.
  • the polymeric core-shell microcapsule for use in the invention is an aminoplast microcapsule with an aminoplast shell surrounding a core containing the fragrance formulation (f2). More preferably such an aminoplast shell is formed from the polycondensation product of melamine with formaldehyde.
  • Polymeric microparticles suitable for use in the invention will generally have an average particle size between 100 nanometers and 50 microns. Particles larger than this are entering the visible range.
  • particles in the sub-micron range include latexes and mini-emulsions with a typical size range of 100 to 600 nanometers.
  • the preferred particle size range is in the micron range.
  • particles in the micron range include polymeric core-shell microcapsules (such as those further described above) with a typical size range of 1 to 50 microns, preferably 5 to 30 microns.
  • the average particle size can be determined by light scattering using a Malvern Mastersizer with the average particle size being taken as the median particle size D (0.5) value.
  • the particle size distribution can be narrow, broad or multimodal. If necessary, the microcapsules as initially produced may be filtered or screened to produce a product of greater size uniformity.
  • Polymeric microparticles for use in the invention are provided with a deposition aid at the outer surface of the microparticle.
  • Deposition aids serve to modify the properties of the exterior of the microparticle, for example to make the microparticle more substantive to a desired substrate.
  • Desired substrates include cellulosics (including cotton) and polyesters (including those employed in the manufacture of polyester fabrics).
  • a deposition aid is attached to the outside of the shell by means of covalent bonding. While it is preferred that the deposition aid is attached directly to the outside of the shell, it may also be attached via a linking species.
  • Deposition aids for use in the invention may suitably be selected from polysaccharides having an affinity for cellulose.
  • polysaccharides may be naturally occurring or synthetic and may have an intrinsic affinity for cellulose or may have been derivatised or otherwise modified to have an affinity for cellulose.
