Description

SPECIFICATION Detergent Compositions The present invention relates to detergent compositions, particularly in the form of a hand cleansing paste.
The invention provides a detergent composition comprising, for 100 parts by weight, the following components: A 0.1 to 5 parts by weight of a natural alkali- and metal-resistant thickening agent B 2 to 20 parts by weight of a mixture comprising 3 to 1 5 parts by weight of a higher (C824) alkyl-phenyl polyglycol ether having from 5 to 25 glycol residues; 5 to 1 5 parts by weight of an alkanolamine 2 to 8 parts by weight of a complexing agent, and 1 to 3 parts by weight of a block copolymer of propylene oxide and ethylene oxide of an average molecular weight from 1500 to 2500 and containing from 5 to 15% by weight of ethylene oxide end units C 10 to 60 parts by weight of finely divided clay material having a hardness degree from 2 to 3 D O to 20 parts by weight of a glycerine fatty acid monoester E O to 1 part by weight of a perfume F O to 5 parts by weight of an alkali-resistant soap dyestuff, and G 20 to 80 parts by weight of demineralised water or a mixture of demineralised water and one or more organic solvents selected from alcohols, ketones, glycols, glycol ethers, (C~4) alkyiene oxide polyglycol ethers, aromatic hydrocarbons, alicyclic hydrocarbons and/or chlorinated hydrocarbons.
Component A is a known commercially available product. A preferred thickening agent is for example etherified locust bean flour.
Preferred higher (C824) alkylphenyl polyglycol ethers present in the mixture of component B are the commercially available nonylphenol polyglycol ethers having an average of from 8 to 12, preferably 10, glycol units per molecule.
Preferred alkanolamines present in the mixture of component B are mono-, di- and triethanolamine, particularly monoethanolamine.
A preferred complexing agent of the mixture B is a nitrilocarboxylic acid, more preferably nitrilotriacetic acid [N(CH2COOH)3] or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), most preferably EDTA, in free acid or salt form, preferably in salt form. Suitable salts of nitrilocarboxylic acids are e.g. salts of alkaline metals such as lithium, sodium or potassium, preferably sodium.
The block copolymer of propylene oxide and ethylene oxide present in the mixture B is preferably a polymer containing an average of 28-32 propylene oxide units per molecule (average molecular weight 1650--1850) to which on average 812%, preferably 10% ethylene oxide units are copolymerised. Such polymers are commercially available, for example under the Trade Mark PLURONIC, particularly PLURONIC L-61 and similar types.
Component C is a hydrated crystalline magnesium silicate as present in nature having a SiO2:MgO weight ratio from 52:22 to 60:25. Such a silicate may have a water content from 9 to 11%.
Suitable magnesium silicates are those referred to as sepiolithic, preferably bentonite or attapulgite.
Such clay materials are present in the composition in a finely divided form, preferably with a grinding degree from 10/100 to 90/100.
Component D is present in the composition particularly when the latter is to be employed for hand cleansing. When component D is present, it is preferably present in the amount of 2 to 20 parts by weight. Component D is a glycerine fatty acid monoester as used in cosmetics for the protection of the skin and for pore dilatation. A preferred monoester is glycerine monostearate.
Component E is preferably a perfuming agent as used in cosmetics e.g. pine oil, lemon oil, cinnamon oil and the like. When component E is present, it is preferably at an amount from 0.01 to 1 part weight.
Component F is a commercially available product. Components E and F are more particularly present in the composition for hand cleansing. When component F is present, it is preferably at an amount from 0.1 to 5 parts by weight.
The alcohol, ketone, glycol, glycol ether and/or polyglycol ether which may be added to the composition may be miscible or immiscible with water. Preferred organic solvents which may be contained in the composition are for example: alcohol: a lower alcohol, e.g. (C,~3)alcohol, particularly a C3-alcohol; ketone: a C3- or C4-ketone, particularly acetone; glycol: a lower glycol, particularly a water-soluble glycol, more preferably hexyleneglycol; chlorinated hydrocarbon: chlorinated benzenes, preferably mono-, di- or trichlorobenzenes; alicyclic hydrocarbon: decalin; aromatic hydrocarbon: tetralin.
The minimum amount of water which is contained in the composition is the amount necessary to prepare an aqueous thickening containing from 5 to 15%, preferably 10% of thickening agent. The rest of the water may be replaced partially or totally by an organic solvent or a mixture of organic solvents.
Preferably, the amount of organic solvent contained in the composition is up to 10%. Where a substantial amount (within the indicated range) of an organic solvent immiscible with water is present, it is convenient to add an emulsifying agent in order to avoid separation of the composition.
Preferred proportions of the components in the mixture are as follows. All percentages are by weight.
Component A: 1 to 3% Component B: 3 to 10% Component C: 20 to 40% Component D: 2 to 10% Component E: 0.01 to 0.1% Component F: 0.1 to 1% Component G: 30 to 60% The detergent composition of the invention may be prepared as follows: a 5 to 1 5% aqueous thickening is prepared and diluted with the remaining demineralised water or amount of component G.
Subsequently, the mixture of component B is added thereto and then the other components in any order; however it is preferred to add the clay material last. The addition of the various ingredients is carried out with stirring and the resulting mixture is stirred until it is homogeneous.
The detergent composition according to the invention may be in form of a paste, a cream or powder, depending on the amount of water, organic solvent and clay material. Preferably, the composition is in paste form. The detergent composition of the invention is stable on storage.
The detergent composition may be used for the cleaning of contaminated objects. It may be used for example for the cleaning of apparatus, equipment, particularly of metal or plastic, as well as of surfaces. It may be employed for removing for example deposits of dyestuffs, oils or graphite. The detergent composition of the invention has a strong cleaning power. The composition also exhibits a strong cleansing power when used for hand cleansing.
The following Examples, in which all parts and percentages are by weight, illustrate the invention.
Example 1 To a container are added at room temperature 27.5 parts of demineralised water. The following components are then added singly in the order given, with continuous stirring. As each component is added, stirring is continued until mixing is complete before addition of the next component.
20 parts of a commercially available alkali-and metal-resistant thickening agent based on modified locust bean flour (10% solution) 1 5 parts of the following mixture: to 73 parts of demineralised water are added successively at room temperature in the order given and with continuous stirring: 11 parts commercial nonylphenyl polyglycol ether containing 10 ethylene oxide units/mol, in 35% aqueous solution (corresponding to approximately 4 parts anhydrous substance) 10 parts monoethanolamine 4 parts commercial EDTA in sodium salt form 2 parts PLURONIC L 61 (commercial ethylene oxide-propylene oxide block copolymer of MW approx. 1950, of which the polypropylene oxide part has MW approx.1750) 0.25 parts of C.l. Direct Blue 199 5 parts of glycerine monostearate 0.05 parts of pine oil, and 32.2 parts of commercially available attapulgite (grinding degree: 60/100).
After stirring for a further 1 5 to 20 minutes, the composition in paste form may be filled into tubes or jars.
Example 2 Example 1 is repeated except that the 1 5 parts of the 4-component mixture are replaced by 20, 25 or 30 parts of the same. The initial quantity of water is consequently adjusted.
The detergent compositions of Examples 1 and 2 may be used for example by garage-workers for cleaning their hands.
