- the present invention relates to a non-tacky, rigid, breakable, non-friable, quickly water-soluble, extruded, particulate detersive composition containing a higher alkyl aryl sulfonate detergent salt. More particularly, the particulate composition will include, in addition to the alkyl aryl sulfonate detergent salt, a lower alkyl aryl sulfonate, an inorganic salt and water, said combination being effective to produce said product.
- detergent compositions comprising a physical mixture of dry particles of alkyl aryl sulfonate with dry particles of xylene sulfonate.
- such compositions are disclosed as being useful powdered detergents.
- Such powdered detergents, formed from mixtures of dry materials are subject to various undesirable effects, such as non-uniformity of composition for any given sample, caking, segregation, flowability, and dusting problems.
- the present invention provides a detersive composition which eliminates the disadvantages of prior art.
- compositions of the invention are useful per se or in admixture with other particulate synthetic organic detergent materials and can be prepared in the desired form in a simple, economical, and facile manner by mechanically working, extruding and granulating a composition as described hereinbelow of 10 to parts by weight of a higher alkyl aryl sulfonate detergent salt, 10 to 40 parts of a lower alkyl aryl sulfonate salt, and 2 to 20 parts of a water-soluble, inorganic alklaline builder salt.
- the mixture may also desirably contain 5 to parts of at least one highly water soluble, inorganic alkali metal salt such as the sulfate, halide, bicar- 3,726,813 Patented Apr. 10, 1973 bonate, or sesquicarbonate salts thereof.
- the total amount of organic material in the composition will constitute a ma or proportion thereof and for this purpose the content of higher and lower alkyl aryl sulfonate salt may be supplemented with other organic materials such as the alkali and alkaline earth metal salts of alkyl sulfates, e.g.
- alkyl aryl sulfonates shall fall within the ranges given above, and the ratio of higher to lower alkyl aryl sulfonate is 1:4 to 6:1, preferably 1:2 to 2:1, and most desirably the amount of higher alkyl aryl sulfonate should be approximately the same as the amount of the lower alkyl aryl sulfonate.
- Some water will also be present in the final product, generally in an amount between about 2 and 20% by weight.
- Such compositions consist of non-tacky, breakable, non-friable particles which dissolve or disperse in less than 120 seconds and preferably in less than seconds.
- the rigid, breakable, non-friable detersive compositions are suitably prepared by admixing the higher alkyl aryl sulfonate detergent, the lower alkyl aryl sulfonate salt, the inorganic salt, and water to form a rheologically extrudable mixture, mechanically working the mixture to effect homogeneity by compacting and extruding said mixture at a temperature at the exit of the extruder of about 10 C. to 40 C. to form a plurality of thin strands having a cross sectional area of from 0.04 mm. to 0.8 mmF, contacting the strands immediately upon their extrusion with a jet of air at a temperature of between about 5 C. and 45 C.
- the extruded strands are broken into lengths by passing them through a screen or other suitable equipment.
- This process can be carried out in inexpensive, small-capacity equipment without the need for removing large quantities of water.
- the size of the particles of the composition can be easily adjusted.
- the non-tacky, rigid, breakable, water-soluble, particulate detersive composition of the invention is useful as a light duty detergent for clothes, dishes, or other similar functions. Because of the non-tacky characteristics of the discrete particles forming the composition of the instant invention, it will not segregate and is substantially free from caking. Such particles are extremely free flowing and quite useful as a substitute for the powdered hand cleansers normally dispensed from Washroom receptacles.
- the present composition is also particularly useful as an additive to spray dried or other particulate detergent compositions or as a carrier for an adjuvant such as color, brightener, enzyme, or other material. Such material, carrying a brightener for example is useful as an after laundry whitener to be added to the second rinse.
- each of the final particles formed from the strands has a substantially plastic nature. This is surprising because of the presence of crystalline materials such as the inorganic salt. The plastic nature is evident from a microscopic examination of the individual particles which discloses that each particle has a substantially smooth surface and a lack of crystalline structures therein. Further, despite their plastic nature, which facilitates extrusion, the strands are readily breakable and, at the same time, are substantially non-friable. Ready breakability is generally not characteristic of plastic materials and non-friability is usually not characteristic of breakable materials. Accordingly, the
- the non-friable, breakable alkyl aryl sulfonate composition is prepared by using simple, small-capacity mechanical working equipment. Adequate mechanical working as well as the proper choice of the constituent salts and their relative proportions will provide particles having the desired physical properties.
- the mechanical working operation imparts homogeneity in order to achieve a physical structure within the mixture that results in the desired surface and internal characteristics.
- Mechanical working refers to plodding and extruding, i.e., compacting the plastic mixture under pressure and forcing it through one or more orifices of restricted size and preferably will also include shearing the composition as, for example, by passing the plastic mixture between a series of rolls rotating at different speeds and having varying clearances.
- the mechanical working generally results in a rise in temperature which may be regulated by adding or removing heat during the operation.
- the final product will be in the form of spaghetti-like noodles, the cross-sectional area of which will depend upon the size of the extrusion orifice and should be between 0.04 mm. and 0.8 mm. and preferably 0.06 to 0.3 mm.
- the extruded noodles are subjected to a jet of air, and the air is maintained in contact with them for a short period of time. In this zone the temperature of the noodles is adjusted to between 15 C. and 25 C.
- the air treatment of the extruded noodles causes free moisture, as for example from 1% to 5% by weight thereof to be removed and a hardened surface to be formed.
- the material is then broken into short lengths by suitable means, such as by forcing them through a granulation screen having openings from 0.177 mm. to 10.0 mm., preferably from 0.25 mm. to 3.36 mm.
