Description

Patented May 10, 1949 SYNTHETIC DETERGENT COMPOSITION George E. Barker, Pleasant Hills, Del., minor to Atlas Powder Company, Wilmington, Del., a
corporation of Delaware No Drawing. Application July 2, 1947, Serial No. 758,717
Claims. (Cl. 252-461) The present invention relates to a synthetic detergent composition.
An object of the invention is to provide an improved synthetic detergent composition for general application.
A specific object of the invention is to provide a synthetic detergent composition that is particularly eifective for washing cotton fabrics.
The above and other objects will become apparent in the course of the following description.
Synthetic detergents are considered, at the present time, to include all of the non-soap products of synthetic chemistry which have valuable detergent properties. These may be broadly classified into cationic, anionic, and non-ionic detergents. The principal members of the anionic class are the organic sulfates or sulfonates, usually employed in the form of their alkali salts. The non-ionic detergents are exemplified by the polyoxyethylene derivatives of lipophilic organic materials. These synthetic detergents have the advantage over soap that they retain their activity to a greater extent in the presence of calcium and magnesium ions which are found in hard water. While the synthetic detergents as a group are all useful materials, each of the several types embraced in the class has certain disadvantages. One of the most useful and cheapest types of the anionic group of synthetic detergents is the series of alkylaryl sulfonates which are prepared by condensing an aliphatic hydrocarbon with 9 to 16 carbon atoms and benzene or naphthalene, and thereafter sulfonating the product. These compositions are generally used in the form of their alkali neutralized salts. One of the most readily available compositions of this type is produced by alkylatingbenzene with the mixture of hydrocarbons found in a petroleum distillate of the kerosene type, and thereafter sulfonating and neutralizing the product. While this material has certain valuable detergent characteristics, there are several properties that impose limitations on its usefulness. The material has limited water solubility which means that if aqueous solutions are desired, it is necessary to operate within certain concentrations. Solubility is further reduced in hard water. There is also a tendency for these alkylaryl sulfonates to separate from water on cooling and to be difflcult to redissolve. There is a further l mitation in that the detergent effect of the alkylaryl sulfonates on cotton is relatively poor.
On the other hand, the non-ionic synthetic detergents have the disadvantages that they are relatively more expensive and do not produce foam or suds to the extent of soap or most of the ionic type synthetic detergents. While the production of suds is not an actual criterion of detergent eiilciency, the reaction of users of synthetic detergents, particularly for household use,
is unfavorable toward materials that do not produce suds.
In accordance with the present invention, it has been found that the combination of a specific group of alkylaryl sulfonates and a specific group of poiyoxyethylene esters produces a synthetic detergent which has a wider range of usefulness than either of the components, and which exhibits an unexpected improvement in detergency on cotton fabrics. The advantages of this combination are found within a relatively narrow range of compounds. The alkylaryl sulfontes, which are useful in the invention, are those in which the alkyl group contains from 9 to 16 carbon atoms, and the aryl group is benzene or naphthalene. The alkylaryl base of the detergentis advantageously composed of the mixture produced by alkylating benzene with the hydrocarbons found in kerosene. The poiyoxyethylene ester useful in the combination is a polyoxyethylene ester of tall oil or rosin, wherein the esters contain an average of from 12 to 30 oxyethylene groups per earboxyl group. These polyoxyethylene esters are preferably produced by the reaction of ethylene oxide and tall oil or rosin in proportions to produce esters containing an average of from 12 to 30 oxyethylene groups per molecule of the carboxylic acid. Esters of similar type can be produced by esterifying polyethylene glycols, having an average of 12 to 30 oxyethylene groups with tall oil or rosin in proportions to produce preponderantly mono-esters.
Many of the advantages of the invention can be realized in mixtures containin from 5 to 95 g per cent of the alkylaryl sulfonate and 95 to 5 per cent of the polyoxyethylene ester. The prepercent of the alkylaryl sulfonate, and 40 to 15 per cent of the poiyoxyethylene ester.
The composition of the invention may be prepared in any one of several ways depending upon the characteristics, other than detergency, desired. For example, an aqueous solution may be prepared which contains the non-ionic detergent and the alkylaryl sulfonate in the desired proportions, If a powder is desired, the nonionic detergent and alkylaryl sulfonate may be mixed with inorganic salt or alkali in the proportions best suited to the particular application. In preparing the latter type of mixture, the two detergents' may be dissolved in water and spray dried or drum dried, or the two detergents may be mixed dry.
The following examples illustrate several specific compositions made in accordance with the inventirm. The aqueous solutions were prepared by a ding the necessary quantityof water to the det rgent components and warming the mixture on a steam bath and stirring occasionally until dissolved. The non-aqueous preparations 3 were made by dry mixing the several ingredents. In the table; the heading "Percent detergent mix ture refers to the relation of parts of the ionic or non-ionic detergent to the total parts in the preparations, automobile wa's'hing L lnpounds,

In reporting Relative detergency,.the results with the sodium alkylaryl sulfonate alone were taken as standards at 100%.
