Description
Patented Mar. 2, 1954 SAME Milton Kcsmin, Dayton,
santo Chemical Compa poi-ation of Delaware No Drawing. Application August 14, 1950,
Serial No. 179,3 Claims. (01. 260-615) The present invention relates to compounds having high surface-activity in aqueous solutions and to'xprocesses for preparing the said compounds. v I I In my prior Patents Nos. 2,508,035 and 2,508,036 issued-May 16, 1950, I have disclosed polyglycol ethers of certain branched chain alcohols, namely, 5-ethyl nonanol-2 and Z-n-propyl heptanol. These products are produced by condensing ethylene oxide with the respective alcohols. While these compounds showespecially low and therefore advantageous wetting-out speeds when aqueous solutions thereof are tested by the Draves test, these products have been found to be somewhat deficient ln detergency.
I have now found that if at least 5, but less than 21, moles of ethylene oxide be condensed with 2-butyloctanol-1 that a series of products is obtained which exhibit not only excellent wetting out properties but also excellent detergency. As a matter of fact, the detergency of the present products is superior to that of the corresponding products made from n-dodecanol.
Relative detergency may be measured by any quantitative method; however for the purpose oi evaluating the present and related products I ,have used the method described by Jay C. Harris "in Soap and Sanitary Chemicals for August and September, 1943. By the application of this method it is possible to evaluate the dctergency of a product in terms of any standard detergent. For convenience I have compared the detergency of the present and related products with the detergency of Gardinol, which is a commercial detergent product produced by sulfating the alcohols derived by hydrogenation of coconut oil fatty acids.
The detergency 01 the present and related products as determined by the Harris method is illustrated in the following table:
