Definitions

  • This invention relates to detergent compositions and detergent baths and to processes for making them.
  • detergent compositions which comprise a p-monohydroxyethylamide of a fatty acid of from 8 to 20 carbon atoms and at leastl0% by weight of an ethylene oxide condensation product'of afatty alcohol or a fatty-acid of the formula wherein R' is an aliphatic 'ra' dical of from 8- to 22 carbon atoms, x is 000 or o Yis "hydrogen or an alkyl radical of not more than 5 carbon atoms and n is a whole number greater than 3.
  • the said ethylene oxide condensation products have surface active properties and with a suitable number of ethylene oxide residues they possess good detergent properties.
  • Our invention is based on the discovery that the detergent properties of the ethylene oxide condensation product can be improved when already present, or conferred when virtually absent by the said admixture with the p-monohydroxyethylamides.
  • s-monohydroxyethylamides there may be used in the detergent compositions of the invention for example, stearo-p-hydroxyethylamide, lauro-;8-hydroxyethylamide, oleo-fi-hydroxyethylamide and ricinoleo e hydroxyethylamide.
  • p-monohydroxyethylamides of mixtures of fatty acids particularly those occurring naturally for example coconut oil acids, tallow acids and castor oil acids.
  • fatty alcohols and fatty acids of which the ethylene oxide condensation products and derivatives thereof may be used in the detergent compositions of the invention there may be used for example cetyl alcohol, sperm oil alcohol, dodecyl alcohol or mixtures of such alcohols as are obtained for example by reduction of natural oils and fats, stearic acid, oleic acid, lauric acid and natural mixtures of such acids, for example, coconut oil acids.
  • the detergent compositions of the invention are made by mechanically mixing together as by stirring the constituents.
  • the mixing process may with advantage be accelerated by application of heat.
  • This application of heat may or may not be such as to melt the ingredients when they are solid at atmospheric temperature.
  • alkali phosphates Other components commonly added to detergent compositions, for example alkali phosphates,
  • compositionsof this invention may also be added. to the compositionsof this invention.
  • the invention is illustra'ted but not limited by the followingexamples'in which parts are by -E'mample 1 1 316 'ipar'ts of a -'c'onden's'ation product of 'cetyl alcohol with 17 molecular proportionsof ethylene oxideand 6T4 part'sof thep 'monohydroxyethylamide of coconut "oil fatty acids are meltedand stirred together "until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. For'the scouring-of artificially soiled botany wool serge the mixture is considerably superior t'othe ethylene oxide" condensate alone.
  • Example 2 13.6 parts of a condensation product of cetyl alcohol with 30 molecular proportions of ethylene oxide and 6.4 parts of the fl-monohydroxyethylamide of coconut oil fatty acids are melted and stirred together until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. The mixture is considerably superior to the ethylene oxide condensate alone for the scouring of artificially soiled botany wool serge.
  • Example 4 16 parts of a condensation product of stearic acid with 13 molecular proportions of ethylene oxide and 4 parts of the p-monohydroxyethylamide of coconut oil fatty acids are melted and stirred together until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. The mixture is considerably superior to the ethylene oxide condensate alone for the scouring of artificially soiled botany wool serge.
  • Example 5 The monomethyl ether of ethylene glycol is condensed with 6 molecular proportions of ethylene oxide and the product is esterified with coconut oil fatty acids. 94 parts of the ester and 6 parts of the p-monohydroxyethylamide of stearic acid are melted and stirred together until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. The mixture is a better wool detergent, especially in alka- 3 line soft water, than the coconut oil fatty acid and ester alone.
  • Example 6 97 parts of a condensation product of dodecyl alcohol with 5 molecular proportions of ethylene oxide and 3 parts of stearoethanolamide are melted and stirred together until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.
  • the mixture is a better wool detergent than the ethylene oxide condensate alone.
  • a detergent composition which consists essentially of a fl-monohydroxy-ethylamide of a fatty acid of from 12 to 20 carbon atoms mixed with at least 10% by weight of an ethylene oxide condensation product of a fatty compound selected from the group consisting of fatty alcohols and fatty acids, said ethylene oxide condensation product having the formula RX(CH2CH2O)1Y wherein R is an aliphatic radical of from 12 to 22 carbon atoms, X is a divalent radical selected from the group consisting of -C-- and O, Y is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and alkyl of up to carbon atoms and n is a whole number from 4 to 30.
  • a detergent composition consisting essentially of a p-monohydroxyethylamide of a fatty acid of from 12 to 20 carbon atoms mixed with tially of a 13-monohydroxyethylamide of a fatty u acid of from 12 to 20 carbon atoms mixed with at least 10% by weight of a condensation product of a fatty acid of from 12 to 22 carbon atoms with from 4 to 30 molecular proportions of ethylene oxide.
  • a detergent composition which consists essentially of the fi-monohydroxyethylamides of cocoanut oil acids mixed with at least 10% by weight of a condensation product of a fatty compound selected from the group consisting of fatty alcohols and fatty acids of from 12 to 22 carbon atoms, with from 4 to 30 molecular proportions of ethylene oxide.
  • a detergent composition which consists essentially of the fl-monohydroxyethylamides of castor oil acids mixed with at least 10% by weight of a condensation product of a fatty compound selected from the group consisting of fatty alcohols and fatty acids of from 12 to 22 carbon atoms, with from 4 to 30 molecular proportions of ethylene oxide.
