Abstract
A method for improving stability of a dye used in a colored aqueous acidic rinse aid composition to ambient and ultra-violet light radiation is disclosed. The method includes the step of adding a chelant to an acidic rinse aid composition. The chelant is present in an amount of at least 1 ppm by weight of the rinse aid composition.
Description
METHOD TO IMPROVE COLORING STABILITY IN AUXILIARY ACID FORMULATIONS WITH RINSE COLOR
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to acid auxiliary formulations for rinsing that are used in automatic dishwashers. More particularly, the invention relates to a method for improving the stability of the dye used in an aqueous auxiliary rinse-aid composition for ultraviolet and ambient light radiation of an auxiliary rinse formulation for dishwashing machines.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
It is well known to use rinsing aids in institutional and commercial dishwashing machines and also in automatic dishwashers for houses. In the automatic washing of the dishes, during the rinse cycle, a final rinse of drinking water serves to move the final pre-rinse water and its auxiliary detergents and dirt residues. Auxiliary rinsing formulations are aqueous solutions containing a non-ionic low foaming surfactant. During a rinse cycle, the rinse aid is injected into the final potable water that is rinsed at a concentration of approximately 100 to 500 ppm.
The surfactant in the rinse water decreases the surface tension of the rinse water and improves the wetting action of the rinse water. The inventors of the present invention have previously discovered that it is possible to formulate an aqueous rinse aid containing a low foaming nonionic surfactant and a neutralized, partially neutralized, or unneutralized low molecular weight polyacrylate polymer without the use of a compatible high molecular weight polymer or a surfactant coagent with high dark point, in this way an acidic, aqueous and stable auxiliary rinse dispersion is provided which reduces stains and film formation since the coating and drainage action is improved . However, one of the main problems associated with the stable acidic auxiliary rinsing dispersion is that when a dye is added in the composition to impart a pleasant color, especially a typical blue or green dye, such as a blue dye # 1 FD & For example, there is a tendency for such rinse aid compositions to change color upon exposure to the environment and ultraviolet light, for example sunlight. Frequently, if not unavoidable, acidic rinse aids will be subject to ultraviolet light (eg sunlight) repeatedly and for prolonged periods before being used by the consumer. The formulations of the rinse aids of ordinary automatic dishwashers (ADW) are specifically adjusted to a color that has been tested is aesthetically pleasing to consumers. Any change in color, the target formulation, especially when using a transparent or clear bottle or other packaging container, can negatively impact the consumer's perception of the quality of the product. Typically, in the past, rinsing color auxiliary compositions have been formulated with or near a neutral pH, since in the past this was generally understood as that the nonacid auxiliary rinsing compositions would not reduce the colorant stability for the ultraviolet and environmental light radiation. The inventors of the present invention have focused on this stability of the colorant in the present invention and provide an effective solution to the problem. Prior to the present invention, there was no previously known method or composition that would address this problem of dye stability in acidic rinse aid compositions. Accordingly, it is desirable to have an acidic rinse-aid product that is not significantly altered by ultraviolet light. In addition, despite the above-mentioned descriptions in the art, it is desirable to have an acidic rinse aid product that has superior performance in addition to good appearance when packaged. It is very desirable that the good appearance when packaging (for example, color) is maintained until the consumer has discarded the product. The present invention overcomes the problems set forth above.
