Description

Composition of wet wipes for detergent effect

The present invention relates to a wet wipe composition for cleaning. More particularly, the present invention relates to a cleaning wet wipe composition to which an orange extract, ie, D-limonene, is added, which exhibits excellent cleaning power against residential pollution and is safe for humans and the environment.

In the present specification, the wet wipe product is a disposable product used for various sanitary purposes, a disposable wet towel used to keep the human body clean in a restaurant or a public place, and other sanitary purposes and various kinds of living spaces. Refers to all disposable products that clean up contamination.

In the present specification, the nonwoven fabric refers to a fiber aggregate or a film, which is not spun and weaved, by bonding the fibers together by physical and chemical means or by appropriate moisture or heat, and the undiluted solution is purified water to impart proper wetness to the nonwoven fabric. Means a liquid mixed with a certain ratio of washing ingredients, ethanol, preservatives, fragrances, skin moisturizing ingredients and the like.

   Existing disposable cleaning wipes products are used for various multi-purpose cleaning and hygiene purposes. In general, the use of hygienic aspects of the baby and the use in hospitals and public places are mainstream. This type of wet wipes can be further extended to be used in various places, and wet wipes products that have convenient cleaning and disinfection effects of various pollution in residential spaces are in demand and have been in the spotlight in recent years.

However, conventionally used wet wipes for cleaning were compositions in which a surfactant and various solvents were added in order to exhibit cleaning power. The solvents used here have often used special solvents such as chlorine, petroleum, glycol ethers, etc., but typical solvents include propylene glycol n-butyl ether, dipropylene glycol, dipropylene glycol n-propyl ether, and the like. It is undesirable in terms of human safety and environmental protection. In particular, the wet wipe for cleaning is a product used directly by hand, and there is a concern that skin irritation may occur due to the use of various organic solvents described above.

Therefore, the present inventors have a better cleaning effect than the conventional wet white, and the wet wipe composition containing a nonionic surfactant well known as a cleaning ingredient and D-limonene, an orange extract that is safe for the human body and harmless to the environment, is excellent in cleaning performance when used in combination with a conventional solvent. It turns out that this rises.

The present invention relates to impregnating nonwoven fabric or pulp with 0.05-10 wt% of D-limonene and 0.2-10 wt% of the crude ingredient selected from 3-methoxy methyl butyl ether and diethylene glycol monobutyl ether (BDG). The present invention relates to a wet wipe composition for cleaning.

D-limonene, which is used as a main detergent component in the present invention, is a monocyclic terpene obtained as a by-product derived from the preparation of citrus sugars as a substance extracted from orange peel. It is obtained by steam distillation of citrus peel and pulp from citrus juice production, with about 94-98% being oily. D-limonene is almost completely harmless to the human body and the environment, and is particularly useful as a solvent for oily contamination such as milk, chocolate, lipstick and the like. There is also a strong detergency and fragrance that has recently increased the literature on the toxicity safety of D-limonene (e.g., Veterinery Clinics of North America; Small Animal Parclice P 383, Vol. 20 No. 2 1990). -Limonene is 1-methyl-4- (1-methylethenyl) cyclonuxene and is represented by the following formula (I).

The content of D-limonene is 0.05 to 10% by weight, preferably 1 to 5% by weight, based on the stock solution impregnated with the nonwoven fabric. If D-limonene is used at 0.05 wt% or less, it is not effective as a solvent, and when it is used at 10 wt% or more, it acts as a contaminant and has difficulty in emulsification.

In addition, the content of 3-methoxy methyl butyl ether and BDG for the synergistic effect of the cleaning power is 0.2 to 10% by weight, preferably 0.5 to 5% by weight based on the stock solution impregnated in the nonwoven fabric. When it is used at 0.2% by weight or less, there is almost no effect on increasing the cleaning power, and when it is used at 10% by weight or more, there is no difference in the cleaning power.

In the present invention, the nonwoven or pulp may contain 15.0 to 40.0 product weight percent. If the amount is less than 15.0% by weight of the product, the content of the undiluted solution is too high, which is uneconomical.In addition, the feeling of use of the product decreases and the residue remains heavily on the surface after cleaning. Lower product efficacy.

Hereinafter, although an Example demonstrates this invention concretely based on an Example, these Examples do not limit the technical scope of this invention.

Examples and Comparative Examples

Following the addition of the composition ratio in the order of Table 1 and stirred sufficiently to prepare a stock solution, the wet solution was prepared by impregnating the stock solution corresponding to 70% by weight of the nonwoven fabric or pulp.

The cleaning power was evaluated by the following test method for the Example and Comparative Example composition shown in Table 1, the results are shown in Table 2.

[Test Methods]

Apply evenly on boiled oil and iron plate (10 × 10cm) and bake at 150 ℃ for 10 hours to make steamed oil contamination. After wiping the wet wipes impregnated with the stock solution with the same force on this steamed iron plate well attached five times, the level of contamination from the iron plate is visually determined.

<Judging criteria>

5 points: Excellent decontamination degree 4 points: Excellent decontamination degree

3 points: Normal decontamination degree 2 points: Decontamination degree is poor

1 point: Very poor decontamination

[Table 1] Unit: undiluted weight%

TABLE 2

As a result of evaluating the cleaning power against oil stains, the compositions of Examples 1 to 3 using D-limonene as the solvent showed superior cleaning power to the compositions of Comparative Examples 1 to 5 using the conventional solvent, in particular D-limonene and 3 -Examples 2 and 3 using methoxy methyl butyl ether or BDG together showed a synergistic effect of the cleaning power than using D-limonene alone. As can be seen from the above, it can be seen that the present invention is a wet wipe composition having excellent cleaning ability against contamination of residential spaces, especially stray oil pollution.

According to the present invention, a wet wipe containing D-limonene, an orange extract that is safe for the human body and harmless to the environment, instead of the solvents used in the past, exhibited an excellent cleaning effect.
