Description
DEPRECIATING COMPOSITIONS
1. FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to the reaction products of alkoxylated alcohols and epichlorohydrin and the use of alkoxylated alcohols to control foam formation in surfactant compositions.
2. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Aqueous cleaning compositions show a tendency with regard to foam formation because they contain active surface oils such as soaps, and synthetic detergents. In many instances, such cleaning compositions produce excessive foam and the consumer must use known substances such as adding antifoam or defoaming oils. Some defoamers such as silicones tend to interfere with the function of the cleaning compositions in that they leave unwanted residues after the cleaners have been ** while others are environmentally unacceptable because they are not biodegradable. Alkyl polyglucosides are a class of nonionic surfactants that exhibit significantly higher foam forming profiles than other nonionic surfactants, such as ethoxylated alcohols. In fact, it can be said that the foaming tendencies of polyglycoside alkyls more closely resemble those of anionic surfactants, such as alcohol sulfates, of the foaming tendencies of non-ionic surfactants. This increased foaming tendency makes the use of undesirable alkyl polyglucosides for many applications, for example cleaning at plant sites for food processing, high pressure spray cleaning, bottle washing, floor cleaning and automatic dishwashing, in where high levels of foam interfere with the operation of cleaning and rinsing and reduces the efficiency of the operation. Block copolymers such as EO / PO, low foaming nonionics, can be used to reduce the foaming properties of alkyl polyglucoside surfactants, but these materials have undesirable properties, for example, low biodegradability, relatively high aquatic toxicity and poor caustic compatibility. *** f is necessary for the development of defoamers that do not interfere with the cleaning ability of aqueous cleaning compositions that are biodegradable, showing low aquatic toxicity and good caustic compatibility.
COMPENDIUM OF THE INVENTION
The surprising discovery has been made that the products of the reaction of epichlorohydrin and compounds having the formula II
R3 (EO) n (PO) m-OH (II)
where R3 is an alkyl, alkenyl or arenyl group having from 4 to 22 carbon atoms; a substituted alkyl or alkenyl group having from 4 to 22 carbon atoms wherein; n is a number from 0 to 50 and m is a number from 0 to 10; wherein the molar ratio of epichlorohydrin to (II) is from about 0.60 / 1 to about 2/1 an extremely efficient defoamer for aqueous surfactant systems. These reaction products are added to a surfactant in an amount sufficient to reduce or eliminate the foam. The reaction products have the advantage of being totally water dispersible, are rapidly biodegradable, contain non-organic solvents and do not affect the detergency of the surfactants with which they are used because they are non-ionic surfactants by themselves.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
Figure 1 shows the relative defoaming effect of
0. 1% by weight of a defoamer of Examples 1-3 in GLUCOPON® 220 surfactant in soapy water at 35 ° C under the test protocol of Example 4.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED MODALITIES
The defoamers according to the invention are reaction byproducts as described hereinbelow and are added to a water surfactant system comprising 1 to more surfactants in an effective amount to eliminate or decrease the foam -generated by the surfactant as a result of some kind of mechanical action such as mixing, **** and / or shaken. The amount required to remove and / or decrease foam is defined as an effective defoaming amount and may vary from one instance to another depending primarily on the nature of the surfactant or mixture of surfactants and the desired defoaming effect. A defoaming effective amount should be readily ascertainable by one of ordinary skill in the art. When the surfactant is one or more alkyl polyglucoside, the defoaming effective amount will usually vary from a weight ratio of alkyl polyglucoside / defoamer 4.0 / 1.0 to about 1.0 / 1.0. The defoaming compositions according to the invention are the products of the reaction of epichlorohydrin and compounds having the formula II.

EXAMPLE 1 Approximately 150 grams of ethoxylated decyl alcohol with an average of 4 moles of ethylene oxide (0.45 equivalents of OH) were mixed with 685 grams of toluene and 54 grams of aq NaOH. 50% (0.675 equivalents). The water was separated by azeotropic distillation and a humidity level of less than 0.8% was reached, approximately 46 grams (0.51 equivalents) of epichlorohydrin were added slowly. This mixture was allowed to react at 100-110 ° C for 24 hours. An aliquot of this mixture was removed and filtered to remove the NaCl and stripped by vacuum to remove the ice to give a liquid product easily flowable, and amber that was dispersible in water. Approximately 1 gram of this liquid was stirred with one gram of ethoxylated decyl alcohol with an average of 4 moles of ethylene oxide in 50 grams of DI water, very little foam was observed. When one gram of ethoxylated decyl alcohol with an average of 4 moles of ethylene oxide was stirred in 50 grams of DI water, a very large amount of foam was observed.
EXAMPLE 2 Approximately 51 grams of ethoxylated butanol with an average of 2 moles of ethylene oxide (0.32 equivalents of OH) were mixed with 120 grams of toluene and 25 grams of 50% aq NaOH (0.32 equivalents). The water was removed by azeotropic distillation when a moisture level of less than 0.8% was reached, approximately 46 grams (0.24 equivalents) of epichlorohydrin were added slowly. This mixture was allowed to react at 100-110 ° C for 24 hours. An aliquot of this mixture was separated and filtered to remove the NaCl and stripped by vacuum to remove the toluene to give a liquid product easily flowable, amber which was insoluble in water. When about 1 gram of this liquid was stirred with one gram of ethoxylated decyl alcohol with an average of 4 moles of ethylene oxide in 50 grams of DI water, very little foam was observed.
EXAMPLE 3 Approximately 200.0 g (0.654 equivs hydroxyl) of ethoxylated octyl alcohol with an average of 4 moles of ethylene oxide was mixed with 400 gm of toluene and 78.4 gm (0.98 equivs) of 50% NaOH. The water was removed by azeotropic distillation until the level was less than 0.8%. the mixture was cooled to 80 ° C and 67.2 gm (0.72 mol) of epichlorohydrin were added for 45 mins. The mixture was stirred for 24 hours at 110 ° C until the epoxy titration showed no epoxide * * *. The material was cooled, filtered and the toluene was removed by vacuum distillation leaving a dark brown low viscosity liquid.
EXAMPLE 4 A test mix was prepared by mixing 51 parts
(dry solid bases) of GLUCOPON® 220 surfactant and 15 parts of a defoamer of Examples 1-3. The amount of foam produced by an active test mixture 0.1% in water was compared with that of surfactant in water GLUCOPON® 220 active 0.1% according to the method below. The data of this test is represented graphically in figure 1. The foam cell consists of a 2-liter peristaltic pump with a graduated jacket with variable voltage control, and glass and silicone tubing. A test mixture is circulated at a constant flow rate and temperature, and falls from a constant height of 30 cm, also returning, creating foam. The test is run under the following series of conditions. In the first test, 0.1% of the active solution of the test surfactant in soap water (10-15 ppm) is circulated at 25 ° C and the foam volume is read every 30 seconds. In the second test, an active solution 0.1% in NaOH 1% is circulated at 25 ° C, and the foam volume is read every 30 seconds. In the third test, an active solution 0.1% in NaOH 1% is circulated. After 30 seconds, the foam volume is read and 1 ml of 1% solution of TEA-LAS is simultaneously added as a test foaming agent. After another 30 seconds, the volume of the foam is read. Approximately 30 seconds later, another ml of TEA-LAS 1% is added, and the foam volume is read 30 seconds after this. This cycle, in which the test foaming agent is added every 30 seconds and 30 seconds after the foam volume is read, is repeated until the foam volume exceeds 1,500 ml. The test is carried out at 25 ° C and 49 ° C. This method gives you an indication of the antifoam capability of the test surfactant. The relative defoaming characteristics of the compounds according to the invention as measured by this method are shown in Figure 1.
