Description
United States Patent LIQUID DETERGENT COMPOSITIONS Daniel A. Cook, Mentor Township, Lake County, Ohio, assignor to Diamond Alkali Company, Cleveland, Ohio,
a corporation "of Delaware This invention relates to a novel liquid detergent composition, and more particularly relates to a new and improved liquid detergent characterized by excellent cleansing power" and larity throughout a wide range of temperatures' and with water of varying "degrees of hardness.
Until fairly recently, general purpose detergents frequently have been solid powders comprising mixtures of alkali andsoap adapted to be dissolved in water and applied as solutions. Various liquid organic substances, notably liquid non-ionic wettable agents, have demonstrated superiority in soil removal, sudsing ability and other desirable properties and have been proposed as additives to powdered detergents. These liquids are, of course, limited inthe amount in which they can be incorporated into a powder or granular material without destroying its particulate nature. Moreover, dusting and caking of dry detergents are frequently difficult to control so that considerable interest has been directed toward liquid detergents. v
Liquid detergents have found application in a variety of washing andcleansing operations, e.g., in dishwashirig, windowwashing, hand cleaning, machinery cleansing and a variety of applications in the dairy. industry in cleaning milking machines, inflations, utensils, milk tanks, pipelines, milk cans, and the like.
' Prior liquid detergents 'comprising a major portion of liquid non-ionicadditives, or a mixture of non-ionic and anionic surface active agents have not been completely satisfactory. Anionic materials alone frequently do not provide desirable results in hard water. On the other hand, it has been found that a liquid non-ionic substance lay itself does not provide an entirely satisfactory material, notably because of a disadvantageous cloud point. Accordingly, there has been a continuing interest in seeking new and improved liquid detergents.
Accordingly, it is a principal object of the present invention to provide a new and improved general purpose liquid; detergent which avoids the difiiculties heretofore encountered.
A further object of this invention is to'provide a new and improved liquid detergent which is characterized by a desirable viscosity, color, film characteristics, hard water resistance, cold weather properties and excellent detergency.
These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will appear more fully from the following description-thereof,
The present invention contemplates a liquid detergent composition comprising 'in admixture the following ingiedients: J
.l l Parts (21) Alkyl-arylsul-fonate- (100% active) a 6-9 (b) Alkyl aryl polyether alcohol (100% active) 23-26 (0) At least one substance selected from the group consisting of:

A liquid detergent composition of the above type is found to have a desirable viscosity and yet is not thick enough to cause difliculty in pouring nor is it subject to freezing at any typically-encountered low temperature. Further, a liquid detergent of the above composition has a desirable color, excellent sudsing characteristics, and is characterized by clarity and an absence of cloud point up to C. and an excellent hard water resistance whereby clear solutions are provided in water having hardness values ranging from 10-100 grains or more.
The expression alkyl aryl sulfonate as used throughout the specification and claims is intended, of course, to refer to various alkyl aryl sulfonates and their alkali metal salts such as sodium salts, potassium salts, andthe like. Preferred alkyl aryl sulfonates are alkyl benzene, toluene, and/or naphthalene sulfonates where the alkyl group contains from about 4 to 18, preferably 10-14, carbon atoms, e. g., sodium dodecyl aryl derivatives derived from propylene tetramer or kerosene fractions (keryl) averaging 12 carbon atoms. A specific preferred alkyl aryl sulfonate is sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate. Such a material is available commercially as Ultra-Wet 35 KX which typically comprises an aqueous solution of 68% by weight water and 32% by weight sodiumdodecyl benzene sulfonate.
The expression alkyl aryl polyether alcohol as used throughout the specification and claims is intended, of course, to refer to various alkyl aryl polyether alkanols,
, notably ethanol, such as alkyl benzene polyoxyethylene hydroxides These compounds can be prepared by constituent isocyclicw hydroxy compounds having as a substituent in the nucleus at least one hydrocarbon or acyclic radical of at least 4 carbon atoms, withethylene oxide. Suitable isocyclic compounds are normal butyl phenol, 'diisobutyl phenol, dodecyl phenol, and the like. The condensation can be carried out at an elevated temperature in the presence of an alkali. For example, 206 parts by weight of p-isooctyl phenol are melted and combined with 2 parts by weight of a 40% caustic soda solution. To this mixture there is introduced ethylene oxide at 130 C. until a total of 10 molecules have been adsorbed for each molecule of the phenol. A commercially available product of this type is Triton X-lOO.
The term alkanolamide as used throughout the specification and claims is intended to refer to various alkanolamides, especially monoand dialkanolamides such as monoand diethanolamides, dimethanolamides, ethanol-' amides, methanolamides, and the like, although a diethanolamide is preferred at present, such as the commercially available product as Solar CO which is obtained by reacting coconutzoil with diethanolamine and typically comprises a mixture of 72% by weight diethanolamide, 1% by weight diethanolamine laurate, 21% by weight diethanolamine and 6% by weight glycerine.
The expression polyoxyalkylene alkanol, as used throughout the specification and claims, is intended to refer to various compounds of this type, especially polyoxyalkylene ethanols. An illustrative and preferred polyalkylene ethanol compound is tridecyl polyoxyethylene ethanol.

The term antifreeze as used throughout the specifi- I cation and claims generally refers to organic compounds which may be added to prevent freezing of the liquid detergent composition. At present, it is preferred to employ a mixture of antifreeze compounds, notably a mixture of about equal proportions of (1) an alkylene glycol such as hexylene glycol and (2) an'alkanol such as methanol, ethanol, or the like. It will be appreciated, of course, that in certain instances, antifreeze'compounds need not be added whenthe intended application does not involve exposure to freezing temperatures.
The term sequestrant, as used throughout the specification and claims, is intended to refer to additives capable of preventing sludge formation in hard water or other undesirable clouding. A preferred type of Sequestrant at present is the commercially available material known as Sequesterene or Nullapon, which istetrasodium salt of ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid.
