CLEANING COMPOSITION LIQUID AC1D1CA FOR HARD SURFACES
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to liquid compositions for cleaning hard surfaces. More specifically, the compositions of the present invention provide improved performance for removing settling stains that can be found on a variety of surfaces such as bathrooms, toilets and kitchen surfaces.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Liquid compositions for cleaning hard surfaces have been described in the industry. Much attention on such compositions has focused on providing superior cleaning for a variety of soils and surfaces. Clearly, the tap water contains a certain amount of solubilized ions that after the evaporation of water eventually deposit as salts, such as calcium carbonate, on the hard surfaces that are often in contact with water, resulting in an anesthetic aspect of the surfaces. The formation of sedimentation and the deposition phenomenon is even more serious in places where the water is especially hard.
It is well known in the industry that sedimentation deposits can be chemically removed with acidic solutions. However, it has been found that the compositions provided in the industry are not completely satisfactory from the point of view of the consumer, especially regarding the scale release properties achieved when applying the cleaning composition on the surface to be treated, it allows to act on said surface without any other mechanical cleaning and / or stirring action and then it is eliminated by rinsing. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a composition suitable for removing tartar from hard surfaces or from an object, exhibiting a superior scale cleaning performance, especially when the cleaning composition is applied on a hard surface or object. , it is allowed to act on said hard surface or object and then it is eliminated by rinsing (that is, under soaking conditions). It has been found that the above objective is met by formulating an aqueous acidic liquid composition suitable for removing scale, comprising an acid system, wherein said acidic system comprises formic acid and an acid forming calcium salts slightly soluble in water. In addition, the compositions according to the present invention are advantageously less complex than tartar cleaning compositions described in the industry and therefore practically more economical in their formulation while providing superior performance for removing tartar.
It is another advantage of the present invention to provide acidic cleaning compositions which are safe for consumers and do not damage the treated surface, especially delicate surfaces such as linoleum, glass, plastic, laminated wood, metal or varnished surfaces. More advantages and more specific properties of the compositions of the present invention will become apparent after reading the following description of the invention. U.S. Pat. no. No. 4,587,030 discloses an acidic cleaning composition comprising a mixture of weak inorganic acid (eg, phosphoric or sulfamic acid) and a weak organic acid, a surfactant system comprising a major proportion of a cationic amine oxide surfactant and a cosolvent. U.S. Pat. no. 6,121, 219 describes a cleaning composition suitable for removing carbohydrate and protein soils, the composition comprising phosphoric acid, an organic carboxylic acid, a specific solvent, a phosphonate sequestering agent and a quaternary amine composition. U.S. Pat. no. No. 5,935,921 discloses a scale cleaning composition comprising phosphoric acid, a trialkyl amine phosphonic acid, an amine oxide, a cationic surfactant and an alkanol.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an aqueous acidic liquid composition for removing scale, comprising an acid system, wherein the acid system comprises formic acid and an acid forming calcium salts slightly soluble in water. The present invention also includes a process for removing scale from hard surfaces or objects, comprising the step of applying a composition as described above on the hard surface or object, allowing the composition to act on the hard surface or object, optionally passing a Wipe over the hard surface or object and then rinse the composition. In another aspect, the present invention relates to the use, in a composition suitable for removing tartar from a hard surface or an object, from a combination of formic acid and an acid forming calcium salts slightly soluble in water, to improve the scale cleaning performance of said composition.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Liquid Cleaning Composition for Hard Surfaces The compositions in accordance with the present invention are designed as hard surface cleaners; the preferred hard surfaces treated with them are those located in bathrooms and kitchens. The liquid compositions according to the present invention are aqueous compositions. Therefore, in general they comprise
70% to 99% by weight of the total water composition, preferably from 75% to 95% and more preferably from 80% to 95%. Acid The compositions of the present invention are acidic. Therefore, in general they have a pH below 7, preferably from 0 to 6, more preferably from 0.1 to 5, with a greater preference from 0.5 to 4.5. The compositions according to the present invention comprise an acid system, wherein the acid system comprises formic acid and an acid which forms calcium salts slightly soluble in water. By "calcium salts slightly soluble in water", it is to be understood herein any calcium sai having a solubility in water of 2.5% w / w and lower, in distilled water at 20 ° C. In a preferred embodiment, the compositions of the present invention comprise an acid that forms calcium salts practically insoluble in water, more preferably an acid that forms water-insoluble calcium salts. By "calcium salts practically insoluble in water", it should be understood herein any calcium salt having a solubility in water of 0.5% w / w and lower, in distilled water at 20 ° C. By "water-insoluble calcium salts", it is to be understood herein as any calcium salt having a solubility in water of 0.001% w / w and lower, in distilled water at 20 ° C. In the context of the present invention, the compositions comprise an acid which forms calcium salts which, in general, can have a solubility in water of up to 2.5% w / w, preferably up to 0.5% w / w, more preferably up to 0.001% w / w, in distilled water at 20 ° C. In general, the acid forming calcium salts slightly soluble in water to be used herein may be an inorganic acid, or an organic acid or a mixture thereof. Preferably, the inorganic acids for use herein have the first pK less than 3. Inorganic acids suitable for use herein are those selected from phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid and mixtures thereof. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, phosphoric acid is selected as the acid that forms water-soluble calcium salts. Preferably, the organic acids for use herein have a pKa not exceeding 5. A typical organic acid that can be used herein is oxalic acid.
Therefore, typical examples of slightly water soluble calcium salts that can be formed in the context of the present invention are calcium monobasic orthophosphate Ca (H2PO4) 2 (solubility of about 1.8% w / w in distilled water at 30 ° C. ), calcium dibasic orthophosphate CaHP04 (solubility of approximately 0.0316% w / w in distilled water at 38 ° C), tribasic calcium orthophosphate Ca3 (P04) 2 (solubility approximately 0.002% w / w in distilled water at 20 ° C) , CaS04 calcium sulfate (approximate solubility of 0.209% w / w in distilled water at 30 ° C), calcium sulfate hydrate medium CaS04. H20 (approximate solubility of 0.3% w / w in distilled water at 20 ° C), calcium sulfate dihydrate CaSO4.2H2O (approximate solubility of 0.241% w / w in distilled water at 20 ° C), and calcium oxalate CaC2O4 (approximate solubility of 0.0067% w / w in distilled water at 13 ° C). However, for the purpose of the present invention, it is sufficient that at least one of the calcium salts mentioned above be formed. In a highly preferred embodiment of the present invention, the acid system comprises a combination of phosphoric acid and formic acid. The phosphoric acid can be purchased from J.T. Baker, while formic acid is commercially available from Fluka. The amount of acid herein may vary depending on the amount of other ingredients; however, suitable amounts of the acid system in the compositions of the present invention are generally comprised between 1.1% to 25.1% by weight of the total composition, preferably from 8% to 20% and more preferably from 10% to 17% . The compositions of the present invention may comprise from 0.1% to 3% by weight of the total formic acid composition, preferably from 0.5% to 2%, more preferably from 1% to 2%, with a greater preference of 1.5% to 2%. In addition, the compositions of the present invention may comprise from 1% to 25% by weight of the total composition of an acid forming calcium salts slightly soluble in water, or mixtures thereof, preferably from 5% to 20%, with more preference of 10% to 17%, with a greater preference of 10% to 15%. It has been unexpectedly discovered that aqueous acidic liquid compositions comprising an acid system, wherein said acidic system comprises formic acid and an acid that forms calcium salts slightly soluble in water, provide a better scale cleaning performance, compared to the yield of cleaning obtained with the same compositions but without formic acid. This better unexpected cleaning performance is especially superior under the so-called soaking conditions, that is, when no more mechanical actions are carried out to pass a rag and / or agitation. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that formic acid participates in the reduction of the precipitation of the slightly soluble calcium salts that can be formed as a result of the interaction between the calcium carbonate containing material and a cleaning composition containing acid. In the case of a cleaning composition comprising an acid system wherein the acid forming the slightly soluble calcium salts is phosphoric acid, it is likely that the CaHP04 salt forms. It has now been discovered that the formation of CaHP04 or other calcium salts slightly soluble in water is especially improved when the cleaning composition is used under soaking conditions. Under these conditions, the slightly soluble calcium salts mentioned above can even be added and form a crystalline shield on the tartar stain and then prevent the phosphoric acid from proceeding with its acidic action. It has been unexpectedly discovered that the presence of formic acid helps to reduce the formation of the CaHP04 salt through the action of protonation and through the purification of the free Ca2 calcium cation. An advantage more associated with the use of formic arises from its high effectiveness in weight due to its low molecular weight. However, due to environmental and / or consumer safety laws in some countries, the use of large amounts of formic acid, such as more than 3%, in cleaning products for hard surfaces would not be acceptable. Therefore, the use of formic acid as the only acid is not feasible since the required levels of formic acid needed to achieve a good scale removal performance would not be tolerated by the aforementioned laws.
Optional ingredients The compositions according to the present invention may comprise a variety of optional ingredients depending on the desired technical benefit and the treated surface. Optional ingredients suitable for use herein include chelating agents, non-ionic surfactants, vinylpyrrolidone homopolymer or copolymer, polysaccharide polymer, radical scavenger, perfumes, solvents, other surfactants, additives, buffers, bactericides, hydrotropes, dyes, stabilizers, bleaches, bleach activators, foam controlling agents such as fatty acids, enzymes, dirt suspending agents, dye transfer agents, brighteners, anti-soil agents, dispersants, dye transfer inhibitors, pigments, caustics, dyes. Chelating agent The compositions of the present invention may further comprise a chelating agent or mixtures thereof, as a highly preferred optional ingredient. The chelating agents can be incorporated into the composition herein in amounts ranging from 0% to 10% by weight of the total composition, preferably from 0.01% to 5.0%, more preferably from 0.05% to 1%. Phosphonate chelating agents suitable for use herein may include ethane alkali metal 1-hydroxydiphosphonates (HEDP), alkylene poly (alkylene phosphonate), as well as aminophosphonate compounds including amino aminotri (methylene phosphonic acid) (ATMP) , nitrile trimethylenephosphonates (NTP), ethylenediamine tetramethylene phosphonates and diethylenetriamine pentamethylene phosphonates (DTPMP). The phosphonate compounds may be present, either in their acid form or as salts of different cations, in some or all of their acid functional groups. Preferred chelating agents to be used herein are diethylene triamine penta methylene phosphonate (DTPMP) and ethane 1-hydroxy diphosphonate (HEDP). In a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention, the selected chelating agent is ethane 1-hydroxyl diphosphonate (HEDP). These phosphonate chelating agents are commercially available from Monsanto under the trade designation DEQUEST®. In the compositions herein also aromatic chelating agents with polyfunctional substitutions may be useful. See US Pat. no. 3,812,044 issued to Connor et al. on May 21, 1974. Preferred compounds of this type in acid form are dihydroxydisulfobenzenes such as 1,2-dihydroxy-3,5-disulfobenzene. A preferred biodegradable chelating agent to be used herein is ethylene diamine-N'-disuccinic acid or the alkali metal, alkaline earth, ammonium salts or salts of ammonium substitutes thereof or mixtures thereof. Ethylenediamine-N, N'-disuccinic acids, especially the (S, S) isomer, have been extensively described in U.S. Pat. no. 4,704,233 by Hartman and Perkins of November 3, 1987. Ethylenediamine-N, N'-disuccinic acid is, for example, commercially available under the tradename ssEDDSO from Palmer Research Laboratories.
Suitable aminocarboxylates for use herein include ethylenediamine tetraacetates, diethylenetriamine pentaacetates, diethylenetriamine pentaacetate (DTPA), N-hydroxyethylethylenediamine triacetates, nitrilotriacetates, ethylenediamine tetrapropionates, triethylenetetraaminehexaacetates, ethanoldiglicines, propylenediaminetetraacetic acid (PDTA), and methylglycine acid. diacetic (MGDA), both in their acid form or in the form of alkali metal, ammonium and substituted ammonium salts. Particularly suitable aminocarboxylates for use herein are diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, propylenediaminetetraacetic acid (PDTA) which, for example, is commercially available from BASF under the trade name Trilon FS® and methylyglycinateacetic acid (MGDA). Some additional carboxylate chelating agents to be used herein include salicylic acid, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glycine, malonic acid or mixtures of these. It has been unexpectedly discovered that the addition of a chelating agent such as HEDP to the composition of the present invention provides an unexpected improvement in terms of scale removal. In the context of the present invention, it has been discovered that the HEDP further reduces the precipitation of the slightly soluble calcium salts, by debugging the Ca2 + calcium cation. In that sense, HEDP and formic acid work in a similar way when it comes to improving the performance of scale removal. As a consequence, acidic compositions with lower formic acid content can be advantageously formulated when HEDP is included in the corresponding compositions. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is further believed that a high synergistic effect is achieved in terms of scale removal performance, when a chelating agent such as those described above is combined with an acid which forms slightly soluble calcium salts, especially the phosphoric acid. Nonionic Surfactant The compositions of the present invention may preferably comprise a nonionic surfactant or a mixture thereof. Such a class of surfactants may be desirable as they contribute to the cleaning performance of the hard surface cleaning compositions herein. It has been found in particular that non-ionic surfactants contribute greatly to achieving a better grease soap foam removal performance. The compositions according to the present invention can comprise up to 15% by weight of the total composition of a nonionic surfactant or a mixture thereof, preferably from 0.1% to 15%, more preferably from 1% to 10%, even more preferably from 1% to 5% and with a greater preference from 1% to 3%.

The range of the average molecular weight was determined by light scattering as described in Barth H.G. and Mays J.W. Chemical Analysis Vol 113, "Modern Methods of Polymer Characterization".
Said copolymers of N-vinyl pyrrolidone and unsaturated alkylene monomers such as PVP / vinylacetate copolymers are commercially available under the tradename of BASF's Luviskol® series. In accordance with a highly preferred embodiment of the present invention, the vinylpyrrolidone homopolymers are advantageously selected. Polysaccharide Polymer The compositions of the present invention may, optionally, comprise a polysaccharide polymer or a mixture thereof.

In addition, the formation of water marks and / or tartar deposits when it dries is reduced or even eliminated. Moreover, vinylpyrrolidone homopolymers or copolymers and polysaccharide polymers provide long-lasting protection against the formation of watermarks and / or tartar sediment deposits, thus achieving long-lasting gloss surfaces. An additional advantage related to the use of vinylpyrrolidone homopolymers or copolymers and polysaccharide polymers, in the acidic compositions herein, is that by adhering to the hard surface it makes it more hydrophilic, the surfaces themselves become softer (this it can be perceived touching those surfaces) and this contributes to providing a perception of a surface perfectly without scale.
Advantageously, these benefits are obtained at low levels of vinylpyrrolidone homopolymers or copolymers and polysaccharide polymers, preferably xanthan gum or derivatives thereof, described herein, therefore it is another advantage of the present invention to provide the benefits desired at a low cost.

Anionic surfactants may be included herein since they contribute to the cleaning benefits of the hard surface cleaning compositions of the present invention. Clearly, the presence of an anionic surfactant contributes to the cleansing of fatty soap scum of the compositions herein. More generally, the presence of an anionic surfactant in the liquid acidic compositions according to the present invention allows to decrease the surface tension and improve the wettability of the surfaces treated with the acidic liquid compositions of the present invention.

The compositions of the present invention can be brought into contact with the surface or object to be treated in its pure form or its diluted form. Preferably, the composition is applied in its pure form. By "diluted form", it is to be understood herein that the user dilutes said composition, generally with water. The composition is diluted before use at a general dilution level of 10 to 400 times its weight of water, preferably 10 to 200 and more preferably 10 to 100. The usual recommended dilution level is a dilution of 1.2. % of the composition in water. The compositions according to the present invention are especially suitable for treating hard surfaces located in bathrooms or kitchens and preferably in bathrooms. However, it is commonly known that bath surfaces may be soiled with so-called "tartar-containing spots". "Stain containing tartar" is understood herein as any stain of pure scale, that is, any stain composed practically of mineral deposits, as well as other stains that contain not only mineral deposits such as calcium carbonate and / or magnesium, but also soap scum (eg, calcium stearate) and other fat (eg body fat). Accordingly, it has been unexpectedly discovered that when the compositions of the present invention also comprise a surfactant, preferably a nonionic surfactant, those compositions allow to achieve a superior cleaning performance on different tartar containing spots comprising not only pure scale deposits. , but also at least 10% by weight of the total stain of organic deposits such as soap and grease foam, preferably more than 30%. Tartar removal performance test method: The ability to remove tartar from the composition according to the present invention can be evaluated by dipping a block of marble (the marble blocks are, chemically speaking, very similar to tartar, i.e. they are practically formed by calcium carbonate) in 20 g of this composition. The marble is weighed before and after the experiment and the yield is expressed in the grams of the marble block dissolved in time. Consequently, the tartar removal performance can also be evaluated by detecting the release of C02. Fatty soap cleaning performance test method: In this test method, white enamel tiles (generally 24 cm x 4 cm) are covered with fatty soap scum dirt, mainly based on calcium stearate and artificial body dirt available on the market (eg 0.3 grams with a sprayer). The dirty tiles are dried in an oven at a temperature of 140 ° C for 20 minutes and then aged overnight at room temperature (between 20 ° C-25 ° C). Then the dirty tiles are cleaned using 3 mL of the composition of the present invention placed directly on a Spontex® sponge. The ability of the composition to remove fatty soap scum is measured by the amount of passes necessary to perfectly clean the surface. The lower the amount of passes, the greater the cleaning capacity of the soapy foam of the composition.
