Definitions
- the invention includes a process for manufacturing such a briquetted tablet by coating detergent particles with soluble silicate compounds, lightly compacting the coated particles to a form-retaining briquette and applying to the surface of the briquette a coating of readily water soluble film-forming organic polymer.
- a process for manufacturing a briquetted detergent tablet begins with mixing together water soluble solid inorganic salt and water soluble nonionic organic detergent and producing therefrom a particulate detergent containing up to 21% moisture.
- To the particles is applied an aqueous solution of soluble silicate, preferably by spraying. Three to 20% of the soluble silicate coats the particles and increases the moisture conent to about 16 to 25%.
- To the coated detergent particles may be added 0.5 to 5% of finely divided water insoluble inorganic silicate to form another coating, held to the particles by the water soluble silicate.
- the coating with insoluble silicate is not essential but does measurably improve the ease of pressing the detergent particles into tableted form and allows high speed production on a commercial scale.
- the detergent particles are pressed into a solid form-retaining briquetted tablet at a pressure low enough to form a tablet which is readily disintegrable in water, after which about 0.25 to 5% of a readily water soluble synthetic film-forming organic polymer is applied to the tablet to form on the surface thereof a water soluble film which is of sufficient strength to help make the detergent tablet resistant to abrasion and accidental breakage, when dry, and of a solubility such that the detergent tablet is readily disintegrable in water.
- a heavy duty synthetic organic detergent composition including nonionic detergent and inorganic builder salts
- an aqueous solution or dispersion usually containing 2070% solids.
- the uniform slurry is atomized and sprayed into a heated dryinggas to form a spray dried detergent in particulate form, preferably of a low-suds'ing type formula.
- spray drying other production techniques may be employed to produce such detergent powders.
- the dry or partially dried detergent is agitated, as by tumbling in a rotating inclined drum, and while being so moved, is sprayed with a solution of water soluble silicate.
- the silicate is spread over the surfaces of the particles by the tumbling action and causes the finer particles present to adhere to others to form particles of larger size. This agglomeration is often accompanied by a decrease in density.
- the silicate conditions the particles so that they will adhere together better in subsequentbriquetting operations.
- a finely divided water insoluble silicate powder preferably tale that will pass a 260 mesh sieve, may be distributed over the particles previously 3,231,505 Patented Jan. 25, 1966 coated with soluble silicate.
- the tale coating helps to arrest agglomeration and improves ease of briquetting.
- the tale is preferably applied in the same mixing drum as the slicate, preferably as a fluidized powder blown into the mixer by air pressure.
- oversized agglomerates are screened out and the product,.preferably as agglomerates of particle size within therangeof 6 to 60 mesh, is removed.
- the coatingprocess described above may be either of the batch type or continuous, the latter being preferred for high speed commercial-procedures.
- the coated detergent maybe immediately pressed into briquetted tablet form or may be "temporarily stored for several hours before compacting.
- The-free flowingparticles are fed to 'mold cavities and are lightly compacted to desired shape, at a pressure of about 10 to lOfl'pounds per square inch, preferably about 40-to pounds ,per square inch.
- the pressure employed is that at which the tablets are made resistant to abrasion and' accidental breakage, when dry, and are still readily disintegrable in water.
- freshly made tablets, also coated 'with organic polymer as discussed below should disintegrate in agitated water-at room temperature in less than'90 seconds, preferably less than 60 seconds.
- the hardened tablets may take as long as 4 minutes to break up completely. Although" it is desirable to have the most rapid solubility characteristics possible, even the aged tablets still dissolve fast enough in usual laundry usage to wash satisfactorily.
- the lightly compacted tablets are next sprayed with a protective coating of an organic film forming polymer, preferably polyvinyl alcohol, usually as an aqueous solution applied in spray form.
- an organic film forming polymer preferably polyvinyl alcohol
- polyvinyl alcohol usually as an aqueous solution applied in spray form.
- the 'entire'briquet'te surface is covered and a strong bond between the polyvinyl'alcohol and the previous soluble silicate coating is obtained.
- the polyvinyl alcoholcoating is dried by infra-red heating lamps.
- the finished tablets are then packed in'plastic bags or sleeves, boxed, cased and shipped.
- the products made according to the invention are strong and withstand rigid shipping and handling tests without occurrence of objectionable breakage. Yet,"'t-l1e tablets disintegrate readily in water.
- the water soluble nonionic organic detergent is'prefi erably an alkyl phenoxy poly lower alkoxy alkanol and nonyl phenoxy polyoxyethylene ethanoloif about 9 to 10 ethoxy groups is a specificexanrple of this group found to be excellent.
- the alkyl group is usually of 6 to 14 carbon atoms and the alkoxy chain is of 4 i012 units long, each unit comprising from two to four'carbon atoms.
- Commercial products of this type are usually mixtures and mixes of this and other types of water soluble non-ionic detergents may be employed.
- nonionics such as theblock'copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide (Pluronics),'reaction products of higher fatty alcohols and lower alkylene oxide (Enrulphogene), polyoxyethylatedhighe'r fatty acids (Emulphor), polyethoxy and poly lower alkoxy esters and ethers of sugar alcohols, especially of sorbitol and mannitol (Span, Tween), may be used in addition to the alkyl phenoxy polyoxyalkylene alkanol and in some cases in replacement thereof.
- the proportion of nonionic-detergentyon a final product weight basis is usually 4 to 14%, preferably 7 to 12%.
- an anionic detergent may also be present, usually primarily to produce some foam and to contribute its cleaning power to the composition.
- a preferred detergent of this type is sodium tridecyl benzene sulfonate, a mixture of detergents, the alkyl groups of which are derived from a mixture of propylene tetramer and pentamer.
- the alkyl groups may be of other structures of to 18 carbon atoms and these compounds may be used as their other water soluble metal salts of similar properties.
- anionic sulfated or sulfonated organic detergent compounds containing fatty alkyl or acyl groups of 10-18 carbon atoms such as sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium coconut oil fatty acids monoglyoeride sulfate and a sodium salt of a higher fatty acid amide of N-methyl taurine.
- the proportion of anionic detergent should normally be from about 1 to 5%.
- a foam stabilizer such as a long chain fatty compound having an alkyl group of 12 to 18 carbon atoms, preferably a mixture of cetyl and stearyl alcohols, may also be included to thicken the foam produced by the anionic detergent. Ordinarily, 0.5 to 5% and preferably 0.5 .to 3% of this material is enough.
- the inorganic water soluble normally solid salt is preferably a builder salt'of the polyphosphate type, such as pentasodium tripolyphosphate.
- Other useful builders and fillers include alkali metal sulfates, sodium and potassium carbonates, tetrasodium pyrophosphate and sodium silicates of various Na O/SiO ratios. These give the present tablets a useful and functional base for the organic materials. From 30 to 75% of the product may be soluble inorganic salt and preferably 30 to 50% sodium tripolyphosphate is used in mixture with smaller proportions of sodium silicate (Na O/SiO ratio of 1:235) and sodium sulfate.
- a slurry of the above materials in an aqueous medium is dried to a moisture content of 7 to 14%.
- moistures of up to 21%, usually 2 to 18%, are obtainable and particles of such moisture contents can be made into satisfactory tablets by the present methods.
- the spray dried particles are high in fines or coarse pieces, they should be screened or classified to substantially all (90% or more) held by a 100 mesh sieve (U.S. Standard Series) with none on 6 or 8 mesh
- the silicate solution sprayed onto the detergent beads when they are being tumbled or otherwise agitated is a water soluble metal silicate.
- alkali metal silicates Of the alkali metal silicates, the best is a sodium silicate of an Na O/SiO ratio from 1:2 to 1:3, most preferably 122.35.
- This silicate is made into an aqueous solution which may be 'of 25 to 46% solids content. Generally the silicate solution will be of 35 to 43.5% solids content,preferably about 35 to 37%.
- the selected concentrations given can be satisfactorily stored and sprayed.
- the proportion of water solution of sodium silicate sprayed onto the moving detergent bead surfaces is usually 15 to 30%, preferably about Thus, 15 to 30 parts solution are sprayed onto about 85 to 70 parts of detergent beads, neglecting a minor cor rection to compensate for the small amounts of coating applied later.
- the 3 to 15% silicate solids coating added, preferabily 6.5 to 8.5% helps to agglomerate thebeads to a 6 to 60 mesh particle .size range (about 0.25 to 4 millimeters diameter) and helps to create a strong bri- It also raises moisture content to 16 to 17 to 24% and preferably 17.5 to 20.5%, the best concentrations for the briquetting operations.
- the tumbling beads may next be coated, if desired, with a very finely divided talc.
- talc a very finely divided talc.
- Other magnesium silicates or other finely divided water insoluble inorganic silicates, such as cfeldspars, micas, etc., of equivalent properties may be used with or in place of talc. 0.5 to 5% talc is sufficient to hinder further agglomeration and improves the speed and ease of pressing.
- the particles are coated with talc, they are removed from the tumbling zone and are immediately ready for pressing into tablets.
- the detergent particles are flowed into molds or pockets in high speed shaping equipment.
- Opposed dies of Teflon in a Teflon-lined sleeve or die-box compact the particles into flat, circular tablet form, beveled and with a diametric score line to facilitate breaking in half, if desired.
- the dies are set with stops to make tablets of constant thickness, so the same volumes of detergent are charged accurate-1y so that compacting pressures may be kept within the correct range of 10 to 100 pounds per square inch.
- the pressed tablets due to their silicate coatings, can be handled Without fear of objectionable breakage. However, such tablets would not be permanently satisfactory unless subsequently coated with a water soluble polymeric film-forming compound, such as polyvinyl alcohol.
- polyvinyl alcohols of commerce usually contain minor proportions of a lower fatty acid ester, polyvinyl acetate. This may be present in polyvinyl alcohols employed in carrying out'the processes of this invention to the extent of about 10 to 30%.
- the useful polyvinyl al cohols are also of a weight degree of polymeriaztion between about 30 and 300.
- a good polyvinyl alcohol for use in accordance with this invention has a weight average degree of polymerization of about 50 to 250 (viscosity of about 2 to 6 centipoises) and a polyvinyl acetate content of 15 to 25% and a most preferred material has a weight average degree of polymerization of about 100 (viscosity of 3.5 centipoises) and polyvinyl alcohol content of with 20% polyvinyl acetate.
- the polyvinyl alcohol should contain relatively little insoluble matter, should be colorless, odor-free and of neutral pH. Deviations from the above requirements may be made where warranted but, in general, the polyvinyl alcohol of the recited specifications would be most acceptable for household detergent products.
- other readily water soluble synthetic organic film-forming polymers of similarly useful properties can be used, but usually such compounds will not be as effective.
- polyvinylpyrollidone, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose and similar polymeric substances can produce water soluble films or coatings for briquette surfaces. When used, it is preferred to mix them with polyvinyl alcohol so that the special advantages attending the presence of that material may be retained.
- Coating of the detergent tablet is preferably done by spraying onto the surfaces a liquid comprising the polyvinyl alcohol dissolved in water.
- the aqueous solution should be sprayed or atomized in fine droplet form as evenly as possible onto the surface of the tablet.
- the spray solution may contain glycerol or other lower polyols to serve as plasticizers to help to keep the polyvinyl alcohol flexible and resilient, detergents or wetting agents to improve the wetting of the briquetted tablets and nuetralizing agents, e.g., sodium bicarbonate, to improve the odor of the polyvinyl alcohol by reacting with free acid that might be present.
- plasticizers that find use are glycols, e.g., ethylene glycol and sugar alcohols, such as sorbitol.
- the amount of polyvinyl alcohol sprayed onto the tablet surface should be from 0.25 to 5% of the briquette weight, preferably 0.3 to 1%.
- the polyvinyl alcohol is preferably applied as a 10 to 25 solution, such as a 17% solution in Water, the proportion of such solutions being used. being from 3 to 10%, preferably about 6% of the tablet weight.
- the polyvinyl alcohol and its solvent fill the voids between the particles and also cover the surfaces of the particles. Because the briquette before coating is not perfectly smooth, it is evident that the coating will be thicker in some spots than in others but it may be said that the average thickness will be approximately from 0.01 to 0.8 millimeter, preferably 0.02 to 0.1 millimeter.
- the tablet After coating with polyvinyl alcohol solution, the tablet may be surface dried by forced air, heated air, infra-red rays or other suitable drying means to remove essentially all the solvent accompanying the polyvinyl alcohol in the coating spray.
- the final product will be of about the same moisture content as that obtaining in the particles before pressing.
- the tablets After drying, the tablets may be packed immediately into cartons ready for shipment and use. It is usually preferred to have moisture barriers in such cartons to assist in maintaining the correct moisture content in the briquette during what may be an extended storage period. Briquettes made in accordance with this invention may be shipped commercially without breaking and even though stored for months before use will still disintegrate and dissolve rapidly enough when added to the tub of any of the conventional Washing machines.
- the washing machine referred to is a commercial top-loading machine with a center post agitator of average operating and design characteristics.
- Example I Higher alkyl phenoxy polyethoxy ethanol (alkyl group of about 9 carbon atoms and ethoxy chain of'9 to 10 units)
- Sodium higher alkyl benzene sulfonate (alizyl group This formula was obtained by spray drying of an aqueous slurry by atomization into heated drying gas, according to normal spray tower procedures. The spray dried detergent obtained was screened and was substantially all, over 90% within the 8 to 100 mesh US. Standard Sieve Series range. Particles outside this range were substantially all less than 100 mesh in size.
- the spray dried beads were fed to a tumbling zone
- silicate solution was agitated in such manner that a curtain or thin falling stream of particles was sprayed with droplets of silicate solution.
- the silicate employed was of Na O/SiO ratio of 0.43 or 1:2.35, silicates of Na O/SiO ratios greater than 1:2 and less than 1:3 being less satisfactory.
- the detergent beads Were sprayed with and 27% of a 43.5% solution of soluble sodium silicate.
- the concentration of silicate used may be varied from to 46% and still the treated beads obtained will be satisfactory. However, when the lower concentrations are employed, as when bead moisture is initially low, it is usually desirable to increase the amount of solution applied to assure that enough silicate is on the bead surfaces.
- the detergent particles After spraying with silicate the detergent particles are tumbled for about 15 minutes so that the silicate will be evenly distributed. During tumbling some finer particles are agglomerated, product density is decreased and particle size is raised to 6 to 60 mesh.
- the silicate coated beads are immediately compacted at a pressure of about pounds per square inch, to form a shape-retaining briquette, held together by the silicate coating to a substantial extent but not so tightly compacted as to objectionably resist disintegration in water under washing conditions.
- the briquettes made are sprayed with polyvinyl alcohol of weight average molecular weight of about and polyvinyl acetate content of about 20%. 0.8 to 1% of the technical polyvinyl alcohol is applied evenly to the briquette by spraying, as an aqueous solution and the coating, anirregular film of an area of about 15 square inches is heat dried to hardness.
- alkyl benzene sulfonate in this formula one may use other anionic detergents such as sodium lauryl sulfate or higher fatty acid amide of N-methyl taur-ine.
- the nonionic detergent may be partially replaced by other nonionics such as the block 'copolymers of ethylene'oxide and propylene oxide (Pluronic F-68) and polyethoxy esters of higher fatty acids and alcohols.
- the fatty alcohol may sometimes be replaced with fatty acids of about the same chain length.
- the finished tables are attractive, non-dusting and sufficiently strong to be handled in commerce without breakage. Of course, they should be packed so that there is no excessive shaking or rattling in shipment. Also, .a moisture barrier packing will keep the tablets from drying out to a more brittle state. These tablets can withstand drop tests and simulated shipping tests. Even though they are so strong, the tablets still disintegrate rapidly in water in a washing machine. No undissolved lumps are found in clothing, even after washing with warm of cool water. Usually freshly made briquettes dissolve within about 60 seconds in water at 100 F. agitated to simulate normal washing motions.

- the above formula was made by spray drying an aqueous crutcher mix slurry of all materials except perfume which was added after spraying. In a tumbling drumthere were added to 100X parts of spray dried particles of such formula of size from 8 to 100 mesh by spraying the following amounts and concentrations of a water solution of sodium silicate of Na O/SiO ratio of 1:2.35. Moisture contents of briquetted tablets made therefrom are also given.
