Definitions

  • the present invention relates to liquid detergent compositions and more particularly to opaque liquid detergent compositions especially adapted for the cleansing of hard surfaces.
  • opaque liquid detergent compositions While translucent or transparent liquid synthetic detergent compositions are known, the provision of opaque liquid detergent compositions is desirable in that such compositions present a more attractive and more viscous appearance which the consumer associates with greater cleansing power.
  • the formulation of opaque liquid detergent compositions is not a simple matter. Thus if one attempts to prepare opaque liquid detergent compositions by adding opacifying agents to clear hard surface liquid cleansers, the resulting products are unsatisfactory due to their instability. This is brought on by the coagulation and separation of the opacifying agents from the liquid.
  • an object of the present invention to provide opaque liquid detergent compositions especially adapted for the cleansing of hard surfaces. Another object is to prepare opaque liquid detergent compositions which are free of coagulation and phase separation and hence are stable.
  • Suitable soaps are the salts of fatty acids having from 16 to 18 carbon atoms, for example, the sodium, potassium and ammonium salts of tallow fatty acids (40 iodine value), palmitic acid, oleic acid and stearic acid.
  • the nonionic detergent may include the monoand di-lower alkylolamides of fatty acids having from 12 to 18 carbons, the condensation product of lauryl alcohol with about 5 moles of ethylene oxide, and nonylphenol condensed with from 1 to 5 moles of ethylene oxide.
  • suitable alkylolamides include lauric diethanolamide (LDA), lauric isopropanolamide (LIPA), oleic diethanolamide (ODA), myristic diethanolamide (MDA), tallow diethanolamide (TDA) and lauric monoethanolamide (LMEA).
  • the complex phosphate component may be tetrapotassium pyrophosphate or pentapotassium tripolyphosphate.
  • compositions will vary with the specific phosphate, the nonionic detergent, the type of soap and its cation, and the 3,2033% Patented Aug. 31, 1965 lCe total concentration of soap and nonionic detergent. No general relationship can be established for combining soap, complex phosphate and nonionic detergent to give an opaque liquid.
  • the degree of opacity also varies with the type of soap, the type of nonionic detergent and the concentration of phosphate, the liquids formed ranging from transparent cloudy liquids to transparent opaque liquids to very opaque liquids.
  • a liquid is described as a transparent cloudy liquid if the outline of an object held behind a 4 ounce sample bottle of the liquid can be seen on looking through the liquid even after the liquid has been gently agitated. If an object held behind a 4 ounce sample bottle of the liquid can be seen on looking through the liquid which has stood overnight but it cannot be seen after gentle agitation of the liquid, due to its increase in opacity, the liquid is characterized as a transparent opaque liquid. If an object held behind a 4 ounce sample bottle of the liquid cannot be seen on looking through the liquid after allowing the liquid to stand overnight, the liquid is described as an opaque liquid.
  • compositions of the present invention comprise a total of from about 3.5% to about 14% by weight of soap plus nonionic detergent, and from about 5% to about 20% TABLE I.LIQUID COMPOSITIONS CONSISTING OF LDA, TALLOW SOAP, TKPP AND WATER Percent by weight Ingredients.
  • D 4 H a LDA- 4 4 Na tallowate Na laurate- TKPP Water Viscosity (cps) Description of composition:
  • Example H is an opaque liquid detergent composition according to the present invention.
  • compositions based on lauric isopropanolamide (LIPA), sodium tallow soap, tetrapotassium pyrophosphate (TKPP) and water are listed.
  • Example M of the invention compared with Example L demonstrates that the soap, nonionic detergent and complex phosphate must be selected in accordance with the present invention in order to form an opaque liquid.
  • the liquid compositions described herein were made by dissolving the soap in water or by neutralizing the fatty acid with an alkali metal or ammonium hydroxide to form soap.
  • the nonionic detergent was then added to the soap solution followed by the complex phosphate which had been predissolved in water.
  • the liquid compositions can also be made by adding the complex phosphate, predissolved in water, to the soap solution followed by the nonionic detergent. Heat was used when necessary todissolve the soap, to melt the nonionic detergent and to facilitate the mixing of the ingredients.
  • An example of a formulation containing an anionic detergent, sequestering agent and perfume is as follows:
  • Example N Ingredients: percent by weight Sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate 1.25 Ammonium tallow soap (40 IV) 2.95 Lauric diethanolamide 2.85 Lauric isopropanolamide 1.00 Tetrapotassium pyrophosphate 10.00 Versene (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acidsequestering agent) 0.10 Perfume 0.15 Miscellaneous 0.40
  • the dodecylbenzene sulfonic acids and tallow fatty acids used in this example were neutralized with 0.63 of ammonium hydroxide, assaying 28% NH:.;, and 1.13% of 50% sodium hydroxide solution.
  • the ammonium and sodium cations are believed to be combined as shown in the above formulation.
  • the ammonia gives the product an ammoniacal odor.
  • Example 0 Ingredients: percent by weight Ammonium tallow soap (40 IV) 2.95 Lauric diethanolamide 2.85 Lauric isopropanolamide 1.00
  • the pH of the foregoing composition was adjusted to 10.5 by addition of ammonium hydroxide.
  • sodium pyrophosphate or sodium tripolyphosphate may be added to the compositions of the present invention. While it is difiicult, in view of the aforementioned variables to specify an exact limit for these additives, the amount can be at least that which is equivalent in sodium content to the amount of sodium soap in the formula, if the sodium soap is replaced by a potassium soap.
