Definitions
- This invention relates toan improved detergent composition, and more particularly to a detergent composition which will be in the form of a clear liquid but will nevertheless contain a very high proportion of active detergent.
- liquid soaps and soap compositions have been clear and transparent in character.
- Such clear, liquid detergent compositions have hitherto always been characterized by a relatively low proportion of active detergent material, such as, for example, soaps and soap-like materials.
- active detergent material such as, for example, soaps and soap-like materials.
- liquid detergent compositions have not been hitherto produced which contain at least 50% of soap.
- all detergent compositions which contain high proportions of detergent materials, such as soap and the like have been characterized by a paste or solid form.
- the object of this invention to provide a clear, liquid detergent composition which will contain a high proportion, at least 50%, and possibly as high as 80% of soap orsoap-like material.
- the detergent composition will include essentially an alkali metal soap, an aliphatic amine soap (or, in partial or complete substitution therefor, a sulphonated oil), pine oil, and water. If desired,
- the alkali metal soap and the aliphatic amine soap (or, in partial or complete substitution therefor, a sulphonated oil) will comprise together at least 50% of the detergent composition and, preferably, will comprise from 50% to 80% of the detergent composition.
- Pine oil will be present in amount from 10% to of the total detergent composition and water in amount of from 5% to 30%.
- the p i 1 e gil, and water will, however, be relatively proportioned in the composition so as to form a clear solution when all the ingredients are mixed.
- the water-soluble salt or electrolyte may be present in amount up to 10% of the total composition.
- the alkali metal soap will constitute not less than and may vary from 50% to 95%.
- an alkali metal soap there may be used, for
- oleic acid 'ricinoleic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, abietic acid, pimaric acid, etc., or mixtures thereof.
- allphatic amine soaps there may be used, for example, salts of t'iethanolamine, mouoethylatltill'le,
- the aliphatic amine soap may be partially or completely replaced in the detergent composition, in accordance with this invention, by a sulphonated oil, as, for example, sulphonated castor oil, sulphonated olive oil, a sulphonated ethyienic hydrocarbon, etc.
- a sulphonated oil as, for example, sulphonated castor oil, sulphonated olive oil, a sulphonated ethyienic hydrocarbon, etc.
- water-soluble salt or electrolyte there may be used, for example, alkali metal borates, propionates, sulfates, silicates, etc., or the ammonium or water-soluble amine salts of these acids.
- the detergent composition in accordance with this invention, will contain a large proportion, at least 50% and, possibly, as high as of soap or soap-like materials, and that the pine oil content of these soaps, in contrast with prior art detergent compositions containing pine oil, is considerably less than the amount of soap present. Water will be present in only sufficient amount to produce, in combination with the pine oil, a clear composition, and while the water content may run from 5 to 30%, it preferably will be kept below 10%. Despite the large quantities of soap and soap-like materials present in the detergent composition in accordance with this'invention, they will be found to be clear liquids having a viscosity suiiiciently low that they may be readily poured. These combined properties of clarity, fluidity and high soap content distinguish the detergent compositions in accordance with this invention from all those hitherto produced.
- the detergent composition in accordance with this invention may be readily prepared by-any normal and usual .procedure for the production of mixtures of pine oil and various soaps.
- the fatty or resin acid constituent of the soap may be dissolvedin the .pine oil and added to an aqueous solution of the aliphatic amine and alkali metal hydroxide; or the alkali metal hydroxide, for example, sodium or potassium hydroxide, in aqueous solution may be mixed with a solution of fatty or resin acid in pine oil and the aliphatic amine or sulphonated oil then added with stirring or agitation.

[11 Claims.
This invention relates toan improved detergent composition, and more particularly toa detergent composition which will be in the form of a clear liquid but will nevertheless contain a very high proportion of active detergent.
It has heretofore been proposed to form liquid soaps and soap compositions, and many of such compositions have been clear and transparent in character. Such clear, liquid detergent compositions, however, have hitherto always been characterized by a relatively low proportion of active detergent material, such as, for example, soaps and soap-like materials. Thus, for example, liquid detergent compositions have not been hitherto produced which contain at least 50% of soap. On the contrary, all detergent compositions which contain high proportions of detergent materials, such as soap and the like, have been characterized by a paste or solid form.
Now it is the object of this invention to provide a clear, liquid detergent composition which will contain a high proportion, at least 50%, and possibly as high as 80% of soap orsoap-like material. In accordance with thi invention, the detergent composition will include essentially an alkali metal soap, an aliphatic amine soap (or, in partial or complete substitution therefor, a sulphonated oil), pine oil, and water. If desired,
will act as an electrolyte. The alkali metal soap and the aliphatic amine soap (or, in partial or complete substitution therefor, a sulphonated oil) will comprise together at least 50% of the detergent composition and, preferably, will comprise from 50% to 80% of the detergent composition. Pine oil will be present in amount from 10% to of the total detergent composition and water in amount of from 5% to 30%.
The p i 1 e gil, and water will, however, be relatively proportioned in the composition so as to form a clear solution when all the ingredients are mixed. The water-soluble salt or electrolyte, may be present in amount up to 10% of the total composition.
Of the total amount of alkali metal soap and aliphatic amine soap and/or sulphonated oil present, the alkali metal soap will constitute not less than and may vary from 50% to 95%. As an alkali metal soap, there may be used, for
example, the alkali metal salts of linoleic acid,
oleic acid, 'ricinoleic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, abietic acid, pimaric acid, etc., or mixtures thereof. As allphatic amine soaps, there may be used, for example, salts of t'iethanolamine, mouoethylatltill'le,
' diethylamine, glyceroldiamine, glycoldiamine, etc., with any of the acids named above, or mixtures thereof. As previously stated, the aliphatic amine soap may be partially or completely replaced in the detergent composition, in accordance with this invention, by a sulphonated oil, as, for example, sulphonated castor oil, sulphonated olive oil, a sulphonated ethyienic hydrocarbon, etc. As water-soluble salt or electrolyte, there may be used, for example, alkali metal borates, propionates, sulfates, silicates, etc., or the ammonium or water-soluble amine salts of these acids.
It will be appreciated from the above description that the detergent composition, in accordance with this invention, will contain a large proportion, at least 50% and, possibly, as high as of soap or soap-like materials, and that the pine oil content of these soaps, in contrast with prior art detergent compositions containing pine oil, is considerably less than the amount of soap present. Water will be present in only sufficient amount to produce, in combination with the pine oil, a clear composition, and while the water content may run from 5 to 30%, it preferably will be kept below 10%. Despite the large quantities of soap and soap-like materials present in the detergent composition in accordance with this'invention, they will be found to be clear liquids having a viscosity suiiiciently low that they may be readily poured. These combined properties of clarity, fluidity and high soap content distinguish the detergent compositions in accordance with this invention from all those hitherto produced.
The detergent composition in accordance with this invention may be readily prepared by-any normal and usual .procedure for the production of mixtures of pine oil and various soaps. Thus, for example, the fatty or resin acid constituent of the soap may be dissolvedin the .pine oil and added to an aqueous solution of the aliphatic amine and alkali metal hydroxide; or the alkali metal hydroxide, for example, sodium or potassium hydroxide, in aqueous solution may be mixed with a solution of fatty or resin acid in pine oil and the aliphatic amine or sulphonated oil then added with stirring or agitation.
As illustrative of detergent compositions in accordance with this invention, the following formulae, descriptive of suitable compositions, are given. In Table I the formulae are expressed in percentages of materials present in the finlshed detergent composition, while in Table II Examiner 252. COMPOSITIONS.
formulae are given for the same compositions but are expressed in parts by weight of materials used in the production of the detergent compositions.

While the detergent compositions produced in accordance with this invention are fluid in nature, they may have a viscosity suificiently high so that they cannot readily be admixed in use with a liquid of very low viscosity without the use of suitable agitating means. For certain purposes, accordingly, for example, where the detergent composition is ultimately to be dissolved in a saturated hydrocarbon or chlorinated hydrocarbon solvent for use in dry cleaning, it maybe preferable to add to the detergent composition after its production an amount of saturated hydrocarbon or chlorinated hydrocarbon solvent approximately equal to the amount of detergent composition, since the thinned composition so produced may be more readily admixed with additional solvent for use in dry cleaning. Similarly. small amounts of alcohols, such as ethyl alcohol, may be used, if desired, to reduce the viscosity of the finished detergent composition. It will be understood, however, that it is not necessary to dilute the detergent composition in accordance with this invention, since it is itself fluid in character.
It will be appreciated that the details and examples hereinbefore set forth are illustrative only and are in no way to be considered as limitations of the invention herein broadly described and claimed.
