Description
COPOLYMERS OF POLYETER HYDROXYCARBONYLATE DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to novel polyether hydroxycarboxylate copolymers, which are effective sequestering agents. The polyether hydroxycarboxylate copolymer when used in a cleaning composition, improves or "creates" the cleaning efficiency of a surfactant through the inactivation of hardened ions. The copolymers also aid in the cleaning by dispersion and suspension of stains in cleaning articles. The role of the sequestering agents in softening water through the complexion of "hardened" cations in supplied water is well known. Sequestering agents are recognized as auxiliaries in detergent processes because they form a soluble complex with calcium and magnesium ions which can react with soaps and other anionic surfactants and likewise adversely affect detergency. Polyphosphates such as tripolyphosphates and pyrophosphates are widely used as ingredients in detergent compositions in part due to their property of hardened sequestering ions. Such compounds contain phosphorus as well as nitrogen containing compounds, for example nitrileacetates, are highly effective. However, the effect of the phosphorus content and the nitrogen content of these sequestering agents until the eutrophication of lakes and streams has been questioned and the use of phosphates in detergent compositions has been subjected to governmental scrutiny, regulation or prohibition. These circumstances have developed a need for effectively and efficiently high sequestering agents, free of phosphorus and nitrogen and builders. U.S. Patent No. 3,692,685, discloses detergent compositions containing an ether polycarboxylate having the structure:
In the above structure of U.S. Patent No. 3,692,685, R is H or -CH2C00Na. U.S. Patent No. 4,228,300 describes ether polycarboxylate sequestering agents and builders having the structure
In the above structure, U.S. Patent No. 4,228,300, M is an alkali metal or ammonium, Ri and R2 are hydrogen, methyl or ethyl and R; is hydrogen, methyl, ethyl or COOM. U.S. Patent No. 3,769,223 discloses l-oxacyclopropan-2,3-dicarboxylic acid (ie, epsxysuccinic acid) and its soluble salts as detergent builders. U.S. Patent No. 3,776,850 describes polymers to be used as detergent builders which have the structure:
In the above structure of US Pat. No. 3,776,850, R is hydrogen or other specific radicals and n is from 2 to about 40, preferably from 2 to about 6. The polymers are prepared by polymerization of the diethyl ester of 1-oxacyclopropan-2, 3-dicarboxylic (i.e., epoxysuccinic acid) in the presence of boron trifluoride catalyst followed by saponification. The detergent compositions are exemplified in which n is either to have an average value of (about 3 or 4. In fact, the synthesis method described produces mixtures of materials which contain very low levels of n = 3 components and n = 4. U.S. Patent No. 4,654,159 discloses the use of polyepoxy succinic acid as a sequestering agent in detergent compositions The invention provides a novel polyether hydroxycarboxylate copolymer comprising:
wherein M + is a cation wherein M is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, ammonia, alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, zinc, copper, organic amines, amino acids, and aminosarcharides; Ri is the residue of an ethylenically unsaturated comonomer having at least one functional group which is selected from the group consisting of carboxylic acid, sulfonic acid and phosphonic acid, R2 and R3 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, and substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; n is from about 2 to about 100; Xj and; •: - are independently 0 or 1; a is from 0 to 99 mole percent;
and b is 100 to 1 mole percent, with the proviso that (a + b) is 100 mole percent. According to another aspect of the invention, it also provides a cleaning composition comprising from about 0.5 to about 98 weight percent, based on the weight of the cleaning composition, of the polyether hydroxycarboxylate copolymer. In the cleaning composition, the polyether hydroxycarboxylate copolymer improves or "creates" the cleaning efficiency of a surfactant by inactive hardening ions such as calcium and magnesium, and other metal ions such as iron. The polyether hydroxycarboxylate copolymers soften water through sequestration. In addition, the polyether hydroxycarboxylate copolymers aid in the cleaning by dispersion and suspension of stains to prevent redeposition of stains in cleaning articles. The polyether hydroxycarboxylate copolymers have the structure:
wherein M + is a cation wherein M is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, ammonia, alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, zinc, copper, organic amines, amino acids, and aminosaccharides. Preferably, the cation is independently hydrogen or sodium. In the above structure of the polyether hydroxycarboxylate copolymer, R and R3 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, and an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, a substituted alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and combinations thereof. When R2 and R3 are hydrogen, the monomer used to prepare the repeating unit (a) is maleic acid. However, methylmaleic acid (citraconic acid) and other substituted cisbutadioic acids can be substituted by maleic acid. In the above structure for the polyether hydroxycarboxylate copolymer, Ri is the residue of an ethylenically unsaturated comonomer having at least one functional group which is selected from the group consisting of carboxylic acid, sulfonic acid and phosphonic acid. Suitable ethylenically unsaturated comonomers having a carboxylic acid functional group are acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, itaconic acid, ethacrylic acid, alpha-chloroacrylic acid, alpha cyano acrylic acid, crotonic acid, alpha phenylacrylic acid, beta acryloxy propionic acid, sorbic acid , angelic acid, cinnamic acid, glutaconic acid, 2-acrylamido glycolic acid, .tricarboxyethylene. A preferred ethylenically unsaturated number having carboxylic acid functional groups is an itaconic acid. Suitable ethylenically unsaturated comonomers having a functional group of sulfonic acid or phosphonic acid are vinylsulfonic acid, metalylsodium sulfonate, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, allyloxybenzenesulfonic acid, and vinylphosphonic acid. Preferred ethylenically unsaturated comonomers having a functional group of sulfonic acid or phosphonic acid are vinylsulfonic acid and vinylphosphonic acid. Thus, the polyether hydroxycarboxylate copolymer is prepared from (a) and (b) repeat units. The repeating units (a) are derived from either maleic acid, methylmaleic acid or other substituted cisbutanedioic acids. The repeating units (b) are derived from an ethylenically unsaturated comonomer having at least one functional group which is selected from the group consisting of carboxylic acid, sulfonic acid and phosphonic acid.
In the above structure for the polyether hydroxycarboxylate copolymer, n is from about 2 to about 100. Preferably n is from about 2 to about 20, more preferably from 2 to 10. The letters xx and x ^ are independently 0 or 1. The letter a is from 0 to 99 mole percent, preferably 20 to 100 mole percent. The letter b is from 0 to 99 percent in mol, preferably 0 to 80 mole percent, with the proviso that (a + b) is 100 mole percent. A preferred process for preparing the polyether hydroxycarboxylate copolymers involves mixing the responsible monomer (s) to repeat units (a) and the responsible comonomer (s) to repeat the (b) together with water to form a mixture. The monomers and comonomers in the mixture are neutralized or partially neutralized using a base. A preferred base is sodium hydroxide. Preferably, at least 609; of the total acid groups are neutralized. The next step involves epoxidation of the ethylenically unsaturated double bonds in the monomers and comonomers to form a mixture of epoxides. Methods for epoxidation are well known in the art, such as described by G. B. Payne and P. H. Williams in the Journal of Organic Chemistry, vol. 24, p. 54 (1959) which is incorporated herein for reference. For example, a combination of an oxidizer such as hydrogen peroxide and a catalyst such as sodium tungstate can be used. It is within the scope of the invention that not all of the ethylenically unsaturated double bonds present in the monomers and comonomers are epoxidized. Optionally, the step of neutralization or partial neutralization can be carried out after forming the epoxides.

EXAMPLE 7 Evaluation of polymers as Iron Chelation in alkaline conditions. The polyepoxy succinic acid polymer prepared in Example 1 and the polyether hydroxycarboxylate copolymer containing 10 mole percent of itaconic acid prepared in Example 2 were evaluated for their ability to chelate calcium under alkaline conditions. The yield of the polymer and copolymer was again compared with the disodium tetraacetate of ethylenediamine (Versene 100) which is usually a chelating agent. Three individual solutions containing 5 g of the test polymer or copolymer in 500 g of deionized water were prepared. The solutions were stirred by means of a magnetic stir plate and the pH of the solutions was adjusted to 12.0 + -1.0 by the addition of a 50% sodium hydroxide solution. 5 ml of 0.1M ferric chloride solution was added at room temperature (25 ° C) to each solution. Stirring was maintained for 5 minutes. The solutions were removed from a magnetic stir plate and then observed for two minutes in the presence of a brown precipitate of ferric hydroxide which did not dissolve. If a precipitate is present, the test is stopped. If a precipitate is not present, the solutions are placed back on the stir plate and 5 ml of 0.1M ferric chloride solution is added and the pH is adjusted to 12.0 +/- 0.1 by the addition of a sodium hydroxide solution to the solution. fifty%.

TABLE III Ferrous Chelation Test Polymer / Copolymer Iron Chelation Capacity (0.1M FeCl3 in Polymer Trituration of Example 1 Copolymer of Example 2 >50 EDTA (Versene 100) 5 The test results in Table III clearly showed that the polyether hydroxycarboxylate copolymer of Example 2 effectively ironed high alkalinity system while EDTA was not effective as a low auxiliary processing unit. such alkaline conditions. However, the results of the Table III test show that the polyether hydroxycarboxylate copolymers of the invention are superior chelating agents when compared to the polyepoxy succinic acid polymers. While not wishing to be bound by any particular theory, the present inventors believe that the copolymers of the invention are effective chelating agents because they form a stable chelate with ferric ions and without delaying the formation of a brown precipitate of ferric hydroxide.
