Description
Patented Oct. 2, 1945 DETERGENT COMPOSITION Wilmer C. Ga'ngloff, Cincinnati, Ohio, assignor to The Drackett Company, Cincinnati, Ohio, a
corporation of Ohio No Drawing. Application March 3, 1942, Serial No. 433,235
v Claims. (Cl. 252-161) This invention relates to detergents. More particularly, it has'to do with the preparation and use of a novel and improved detergent composition which is especially adapted for cleaning the hard polished surfaces of glass, metal, stone, and similar materials.
The general object of the invention is to provide a more efficient cleaning fluid for thepurpose described and one which will readily. and quickly wet the surface to which it is applied, dissolve oily and other foreign substances, and evaporate at an optimum rate, not too quickly before the cleaning process is effected, nor too slowly so that long continued rubbing is necessary. The novel cleanser is thus very susceptible to use in removing dirt'and oil and grease films from vitreous surfaces, especially transparent glass or plastic surfaces, whether in the form of windows, Windshields of automobiles, mirrors,
tableor desk tops, or similar articles, It is particularly useful where water alone will not suflice and where it is undesirable to use ordinary soaps. In its broader aspects, the invention marks the discovery that the dihydric alcohol, 2-methyl-2,
4-pentane diol,
C Ha OH CHa-F-CHz--QH: $11 at when added to water in varying percentages, not only lowers the surface tension of the water markedly, but provides a detergent composition which answers the purposes set forth above in all respects. Although the lowering of the surface tension is only one factor in the eflicacy of a detergent of this type, it may be stated at-this point, as some indication of the properties of this compound, that the addition of 15% of the 2-methyl-2, 4-pentane diol to distilled water serves to lower the surface tension from approximately 70.6 dynes per square cm., to about 32.? dynes per square cm., at about 21.1 C.
The 2-methyl-2, -pentane diol may be prepared in any known way, one of which involves thereduction of a compound of the nitroparaflin series, through the corresponding nitrohydroxy, amino, and amino-hydroxy compounds. One source of the nitroparaflin series of compounds is the waste gases of the petroleum industry.
Although the solution of 2-methyl-2, 4-pentane diolin water is highly effective when used alone, the invention in its more specific aspects contemplates the addition to such solutions of small quantities of a commercial wettingagent of a well-known type, such as, for example, the alkylated sulfonates and other sulfonated compounds marketed under the names Aerosol, Santomerse, and other trade names. These compounds include alkylated sodium sulfonate, isopropyl naphthalene sodium sulfonate, and dioctyl sodium sulfo succinate. Such wettin agents aid in obtaining a good spread and even flow over thesurface to be cleaned, and a very small amount is suflicient-say about one-tenthof one percent; 1
It has also been found that certain other solvents, some of which have comprised ingredients of prior cleansing fluids, may be added .to the basic diol solution or-employed to replace a portion of the diol which may then be used in somewhat reduced quantity. These solvents areselected on the basis of their dissolving properties,
their miscibility with water, and their boiling points. Although certain of these solvents have been employed in similar detergents, it has been found that the combined action of the diol and the other solvent, and in fact the action of the diol and the wetting agent, when used together, afford an increased detergent action which is apparently greater than can be eigplained as the mere additive result of the combination. Ac tually, it has been found that it is impossible to predict, from the nature and composition of the ingredients, what these mixtures would do with respect to detergency. The facts must be determined experimentally.
Among the water-soluble oil solvents which 'may be used in this connection may be mentioned the low molecular weight, low boiling point mono hydroxy alcohols, such as methyl, ethyl, and iso- 'propyl alcohol; esters like methyl and ethyl acetate; ketones like acetone or methyl ethyl 'ketone. Also mono ethyl ether of ethylene glycol, CI-IzOHCHzOCzHs; mono ethyl ether of diethylene glycol, CHaOI-ICHzOCHzCI-IrOCzI-Is, or
their corresponding acetates may be employed.
The first named of said ethers is known as Cellosolve, the latter as Carbitol," and among the acetates, probably the best known is "Cellosolve acetate," CH2OC2H5CH2C2H3O2.

Santomerse used in the examples set forth above is an alkyl aryl sulphonate, conveniently a sodium salt of this series.
Suitable innocuous coloring matter and perfume may be added to the solutions to improve their appearance and odor, and aid in their identification. The amounts of such added substances are quite inconsiderable, however, and will not afiect the approximate percentages of principal ingredients set forth in the exemplary formulas.
The preferred approximate ranges of proportions of the various necessary and optional ingredients are set out in the summary below:
The novel detergent solutions are preferably applied by being sprayed on the surface, although they may be applied in any other suitable manner as by wetting a cloth with the solution and then rubbing the surface therewith. The solution is quickly distributed over the surface to be cleaned and then the surface is polished with a clean cloth or other fabric or tissue.
It is understood that various changes and modifications, such as would occur to one skilled in the art, may be made in the embodiments described above without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the subjoined claims.
