3,975,228 Patented Jan. 29, 1963 ice 3,075,228 ANT'i-FOGGING ARTICLE Nathaniel M. Elias, 56 Washington Mews, New York, N.Y. No Drawing. Filed Feb. 24, 1958, Ser. No. 716,848 9 Claims. (Cl. 15-506) The present invention relates to a new article of manufacture adaptable for cleaning and treating smooth glasslike surfaces, a process of making the article and a method of treating glass, plastic or polished surfaces therewith.
This is a continuation-in-part of application Serial No. 354,432, now abandoned.
It has been suggested in the prior art that fibrous material be impregnated with certain sulfated aliphatic hydrocarbons for the purpose of providing an article which may be used for polishing and inhibiting fog formation on glass and the like. Polyhydroxy alcohols that have been partially esterified with higher fatty acids have also been suggested for somewhat similar purposes. These materials, however, exhibit certain disadvantages which have limited their usefulness. Thus, these agents are held too tenaciously in the fibrous materials, so that there is difficulty in transferring them to the glass surface. It has now been found that these disadvantages may be overcome through the use of a composition comprising at least one salt of sulfated alkyl aryloxypolyalkoxy alcohol. It has further been found that the feel of the impregnated fibrous material is considerably improved through the use of said composition.
a In accordance with the present invention fibrous material is impregnated with a composition containing at least one compound of formula wherein n is an integer preferably from 8 to 100; R is an alkyl radical, and preferably higher alkyl radical; R is a divalent saturated alkylene radical having at least 2 carbon atoms preferably lower alkylene; Me is a metal or metalloid cation, and preferably alkali metal. R may be an alkyl radical having from 1 to 30 carbon atoms and preferably from 8 to 32 carbon atoms. Thus, R may be methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, t-butyl, pentyl, hexyl, Z-ethylhexyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl, hendecyl, dodecyl, tridecyl, tetradecyl, pentadecyl, eicosyl and dotriacontyl. R may be a divalent saturated alkylene radical having preferably from 2 to 3 carbon atoms and including ethylene and propylene, or mixtures of both in the polyglycol chain. Me in Formula 1 above may be an alkali metal, such as sodium, potassium or lithium. The best results are obtained with compounds wherein R is octyl, or nonyl; R' is ethylene, i.e., CH CH and Me is sodium. In the preferred form of this invention the groups bonded to the benzene ring in Formula 1 are in the para position to each other.
It has been found, in accordance with certain features, of the present invention, that the combination of a' substantial percentage of a compound of Formula 1, which is solid at room temperature, and a flexible Web-like fabric such as paper, felt and textile, produces an article highly useful for cleaning and defogging glass surfaces. The compounds are solid in the ordinary temperature range between 15 and 45 C., and are Water soluble. The solubility is suificient so that a trace of moisture, such as is usually present as an adsorbed film on glass or plastic surfaces, is suflicient to dissolve a minute amount of said compounds from the cloth and leave it as an invisible film on the glass surface.
The compounds of Formula 1 do not easily form insoluble precipitates or residues with impurities generally present in watersuch as calcium, iron, etc. Nor is the trace of material left on the glass or transparent plastic which may be only one or two microns thick, opaque or interfere with the passage of light.
It has been found, in accordance with the present invention, that unexpectedly, large amounts of the compounds of Formula 1, based on the weight of the fabric, can be incorporated into such fabric and will adhere and remain part of the resulting article. Moreover, the fabric will remain flexible, will be changed very little in appearance, and will be usable over a long period of time. Furthermore, it has been found that said compounds are readily transferred to the glass surface.
The proportion of Compound 1 described above which may be incorporated into a fabric to make it useful for the purposes of the present invention, may range from a low of about 3% of the original weight of the fabric up to or even more. I have found that proportions less than 3% based on the original weight of the textile are not effective because the textile retains such material by adsorption and does not release it to the glass or other surface early enough to be properly effective.
In accordance with the present invention, any salt of a sulfated alkyl aryloxypolyalkoxy alcohol, as defined herein, or any mixture of such compounds, may be advantageously employed. Thus, for example, the sodium salts of sulfated =octylphenoxy-polyethoxy ethanol or sulfated nonylphenoxypolyethoxy ethanol, either individually or in admixture, are excellent fogproofing agents.
It has also been found that in some cases, in addition to the compounds of Formula 1 above, it is desirable to add a small proportion of a nonionic wetting agent. Among the nonionic wetting agents that may be mentioned are the mono methyl, ethyl, propyl or decyl ethers of high molecular weight polyglycols. Similarly monoesters of polyglycols may be added. These include, for example, polyethylene or polypropylene glycol-mono laurate, -mono oleate, -mono stearate, -mono ricinoleate, etc. For additional nonionic wetting agents that are useful in the present invention, see Surface Active Agents" by Schwartz & Perry, pages 202-214. In contrast to this, the cationic surface active agents are definitely useless for antifogging, since they actually promote fogging on glass or plastic.
It has also been found that in combination with the compounds of Formula 1 a useful composition includes a small quantity of a sodium alkyl sulfate, such as sodium lauryl sulfate. In a similar manner, other anionic materials in small quantities may be used in conjunction with compounds of Formula 1. These include the alkali salts of naphthenyl sulfate, e.g., the sodium sulfonate of polypropylnaphthalene (sold under the trade names of Akanol B, Nekol A, etc.). These are examples of the aralkylsulfates that may be used in conjunction with the compounds of Formula 1. The sodium salt of kerylbenzene sulfonate (sold under the trade names of Nae: conal NRSF, etc.), may similarly be used.
When the principal antifiogging agent is used in con- The sodium salt of the sulfated octyl iil I phenoxypolyethoxy ethanol of the examples below is prepared by the sulfation and neutralization with sodium hydroxide of octyl phenoxypolyethoxyethanol prepared by the reaction of 9 moles of ethyleneoxide with 1 mole of p-octylphenol. The monomethyl ether of polyglycol mentioned in the examples is prepared by the reaction of 1 mole of a methylhalide with 1 mole of monosodium polyethylene glycolate of molecular weight 400. The sodium salt of the sulfated nonyl phenoxypolyethoxyethanol employed in the following examples is prepared in the same way as the octyl compound except that moles of ethylene oxide are reacted with 1 mole of p-nonylphenol, the product then being sulfated and neutralized. Unless otherwise specified, the percentages given are by weight.
. Example 1 A 28% solution of the sodium salt of sulfated octyl phenoxypolyethoxyethanol in a mixture of water and ethyl alcohol in the ratio of 80 parts by volume of H 0 to 20 parts by volume of ethyl alcohol is prepared and the cotton cloth impregnated and calendered, so that on drying 20% solids are'left in the cloth. The cloth is found to be an excellent antifogging cloth.
Example 2 A solution is formed in a water-isopropyl alcohol mixture containing 85 parts by volume of R 0 to parts of isopropyl alcohol of 25% of the sulfated sodium salt of octyl phenoxypolyethoxyethanol and 3% of a monomethyl ether of polyglycol having a melting point of 45 C. The cotton cloth is impregnated and then put through a calender and dried so that solids remain in the cloth.
Example 3 Example 4 The procedure of Example 1 is followed, excepting that the impregnating solution contains by weight of the sodium salt of sulfated octyl phenoxypolyethoxyethanol and 3% by weight of the lauric acid ester of a polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight of 4000.
Example 5 The procedure of Example 1 is followed excepting that the impregnating solution contains 25% by weight of the sodium salt of sulfated nonyl phenoxypolyethoxyethanol and 3% by weight of naphthenic acid ester of a polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight of 4000.
Example 6 The procedure of Example 1 is followed, excepting that the impregnating solution contains 25% by weight of the sodium salt of sulfated octyl phenoxypolyethoxy ethanol and 3% by weight of the dodecyl monoetlier of a polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight of 4000.
' Example 7 The procedure of Example 1 is followed, excepting that the impregnating solution contains 25% by weight of the sodium salt of sulfated octyl phenoxypolyethoxyethanol and 3% by weight of the nonylphenyl monoether of a polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight of 4000.
4 Example 8 The procedure of Example 1 is followed, excepting that the impregnating solution contains 14% by weight of the sodium salt of sulfated octyl phenoxypolyethoxyethanol and 14% by weight of the sodium salt of sulfated nonyl phenoxypolyethoxyethanol.
By using a more concentrated solution and by allowing more of the solution of the antifiogging agent to remain in the fabric before drying the soaked fabric, higher percentages of the antifogging agent may be incorporated.
A method of making a paper impregnated with antifogging material comprises suspending the wood pulp or other cellulose fibres constituting the basic ingredient of the paper, in a solution of the antifogging material having a concentration sufiicient to incorporate the desired proportion of antifogging material in the paper, when the paper is formed and dried.
