Description

United States Patent O 3,139,164 LIQUID BLEACG AND DETERGENT COMPOlTl0N Georg Peter Best, Vlaardingen, Netherlands, assignor to Lever Brothers (lompany, New York, N.Y., a corporation of Maine No Drawing. Filed July 3, 1959, Ser. No. 824,800 Claims priority, application Great Britain July 10, 1958 10 Claims. (Cl. 252-99) This invention relates to liquid detergent compositions.
Concentrated liquid detergent compositions often suffer from the disadvantage that one or more of the components separate out during standing and/ or that a clear solution is not obtained on dilution to the lower concenration employed for actual use. Moreover, it has not hitherto been found possible to include a bleaching agent .in a concentrated liquid detergent composition to give a product which will retain its bleaching activity to an acceptable degree on storage and which will therefore compare with the well known solid bleaching detergent compositions, containing sodium perborate or sodium percarbonate, used in certain applications, particularly in the of a stable pourable emulsion, suspension, or coacervate' which contains (a) at least one anionic active detergent A of the general formula:
RO.(C,,H O) .SO M in which R is an alkyl radical containing from 6 to 18 carbon atoms or an alkylaryl radical containing from 6 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical; M is an alkalimetal, ammonium or substituted ammonium radical, preferably sodium; n is 2 or 3, and m is from 1 to 8, preferably 2 to 4; (b) a condensed phosphate; a soil-suspending agent; and (d) hydrogen peroxide.
Preferably the composition of the invention contains a mixture of detergents A of the general formula given, in which the average value of m is at least 2 and is preferably from 2 to 4. Particularly suitable are the sodium salts of sulphated polyethyleneglycol mono-alkyl ethers of the general formula RO.(C H O) .SO Na, in which R is an alkyl radical with 6 to 12 carbon atoms and m is from 2 to 3, or R is an alkyl radical with 12 to 18 carbon atoms and m is from 3 to 4.
It has been found that these novel bleaching detergent compositions are remarkably stable with respect to loss of bleaching activity on storage. Their stability can be further enhanced if a stabilizer for hydrogen peroxide is included.
Preferred detergents of type A described above include the sodium salt of sulphated diethyleneglycol monolauryl ether, C H CH .O(C H O) .SO Na; the sodium salt of sulphated diethyleneglycol mono-alkyl ether RO.(C H O) SO Na, in which R denotes a mixture of alkyl radicals as these occur in coconut fatty alcohols, the
ice
sodium salt of sulphated tetraethyleneglycol mono-alkyl ether RO.(C H O) SO Na, in which R denotes a mixture of alkyl radicals as these occur in tallow fatty alcohols, and the salt of sulphated tetraethyleneglycol monononylphenyl ether.
The amount of the condensed phosphates, such as for example sodium pyrophosphate and/ or sodium tripolyphosphate, is desirably from 5 to 30%, preferably from 9 to 25%, by weight of the liquid composition.
The soil-suspending agent may be, for example a carboxymethylcellulose of any customary degree of substitution, such as 0.4-1.1 carboxymethyl groups per monosaccharide unit, in the conventional small amounts.
The composition preferably contains hydrogen peroxide in an amount of 0.5 to 3% by weight of the solution, preferably together with a small amount of a stabiliser for hydrogen peroxide, such as, for example, sodium p-hydroxybenzoate, sodium nitrilotriacetate or sodium ethylenediamine tetra-acetate.
In addition to the active detergent A, there is preferably also included another anionic active detergent B, which is not of the general formula given earlier for A. B may for example be a fatty alkyl sulphate salt with from 8 to 18, preferably about 12, carbon atoms in the molecule, or an alkylaryl sulphonate with from 8 to 16 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, preferably an alkylbenzene sulphonate with about 12 carbon atoms in the alkyl group. Salts of acylated hydroxy or amino sulfonic acids may also be used.
Preferred detergents of type B include sodium tetrapropylenebenzene sulphonate, sodium dodecylbenzene sulphonate, sodium pentapropylenebenzene sulphonate, sodium lauryl sulphate and sodium oleyl sulphate. (The expressions 5tetrapropylenebenzene and pentapropylenebenzene denote alkylbenzenes in which the alkyl groups are derived from propylene tetramer and propylene pentamer, respectively.)
If, as is preferred, a detergent B is present, the weight ratio A:B is preferably from 1:1 to 1:6, most suitably from 1:2 to 1:4. The active detergents A and B together suitably form from 5 to 25%, preferably from 6 to 20% by weight of the liquid composition.
Other common ingredients of detergent compositions, such as fatty acid monoor diethanolamides, optical brighteners and inorganic salts other than condensed phosphates, may be added, subject to the proviso that the compositions should not of course contain ingredients which will react with hydrogen peroxide or catalyse its decomposition on storage. ,,In particular, the compositions should not contain sodium silicate.
In preparing the liquid bleaching and detergent compositions of the invention, in order to ensure that they do not contain matter that is easily oxidised by hydrogen peroxide, all the ingredients may be subjected to an o-xidising pretreatment, preferably with hydrogen peroxide. It is, however, preferred to prepare the composition from untreated ingredients, using a slight excess of hydrogen peroxide. If the composition is then kept for a few weeks, the excess hydrogen peroxide becomes decomposed, but the remainder is surprisingly resistant to decomposition on prolonged storage. The process of destroying easily oxidisable matter by oxidation with the excess hydrogen peroxide may be speeded up so as to o muao 7 L 1 Z 0 L0 0 1 1 F the same 5 1 6:0 n40 0 2 &
Example 3 The following compositions were prepared in the same way as in Example 1:
glycol coconut oil-fatty alkyl ether A) Sodium salt of sulphated tctraethyleneglycol coconut-0il-fattyalkyl other (A).. Sodium salt of sulphated tetraethyleueglycol nonylphenyl other (A) Sodium tetrapropylcnebenzene sulphonate (13)..

The preparation of the compositions of the invention can be effected by incorporating the ingredients (a), (b) and (c) in water, followed by addition of hydrogen peroxide. A suitable procedure is as follows:
A minor proportion of the condensed phosphate or 10 phosphates e.g. 10% by weight of the total amount to be added, is mixed with the soil suspending agent in water at elevated temperature, e.g. 50 to 60 C. After the liquid has become homogeneous, the major part of the condensed phosphate (e.g. 60%) is stirred in at a someg figfwhat higher temperature (e.g. 7080 C.).
