Definitions

  • a toilet bar contains at least 15% by weight of a polyethyleneoxide quaternary ammonium compounds with certain characteristics given hereafter, afterwash feel and related ei fects are improved; the skin feels more pleasant and smoother.
  • the characteristics required of the polyethyleneoxide quaternary ammonium compounds used in the toilet bars of the present invention are that they must contain a polyethyleneoxide group containing at least three ethyleneoxide units in a straight chain (i.e. -CH .CH .O.CH .CH .O-.CH .CH .O.)

  • the groups R R R and R can be straight-chain, branched-chain or cyclic alkyl; aryl; alkaryl; aralkyl; or heterocyclic groups, and amongst the many substituent groups or linkages that can be present are ethylenic and acetylenic linkages, conjugated or otherwise, carbonyl, ester and amide groups and linkages, and halogen and nitro groups. Also two or more of the groups R R R R and R, can form a heterocyclic ring with the quaternary nitrogen atom. At least one of the groups, R R R and R must comprise a polyethyleneoxide group containing at least three ethyleneoxide units, which may but need not be directly attached to the quaternary nitrogen atom.
  • R R R and R may also be linked to one or more further quaternary nitrogen atoms, each with its own substituent groups R R R and.
  • compatible qua ternary nitrogen substituent group is used hereinafter to cover all the types of group R R R and R; which can satisfactorily be used, as describedabove,
  • Any compatible anion X can be used with the quaternary ammonium compound.
  • Preferred anions are mono valent, particularly the halides, i.e. chloride, bromide and iodide, but other anions which can be used. include, for example, sulphate, phosphate and acetate anions.
  • polyethyleneoxide quaternary ammonium compound contains a straight-chain of more than six carbon atoms, or an aralkyl or alkaryl group containing more than eight carbon atoms, the polyethyleneoxide quaternary ammonium compound is detersive.

  • non 14 cH,cn, non E0 The product obtained is inevitably a mixture, containing, for example, some R.O.l2 EO and some R0. 16 E0 but on average it contains fourteen E0 units.
  • polyethyleneoxide quaternary ammonium compound for use in a bar according to the invention must, as specified above, contain at least one group with 3 E0 units, it has been found that the preferred polyethyleneoxide quaternary ammonium compounds contain at least one 5 EO group.
  • a detergent compound or compounds must also be included in the bar.
  • Detergent compounds can also be used, if desired, with polyethyleneoxide quaternary ammonium compounds that are detersive.
  • Suitable detergent compounds for such use include other quaternary ammonium compounds, either containing a polyethyleneoxide group or not, zwitterionic compounds, amphoteric compounds, anionic compounds and nonionic compounds.
  • polyethyleneoxide quaternary ammonium compounds have been found to be surprisingly mild to the skin.
  • certain polyethyleneoxide quaternary ammonium compounds are milder than related compounds not containing a polyethyleneoxide group.
  • R is a C to C straight-chain alkyl group or a C to C straight-chain alkyl group interrupted by a phenylene group, and X- is a halide ion, have been found to be less mild than the same compounds where one or two methyl groups have been replaced by polyethyleneoxide groups.

  • Detergent compositions are often expected to clean heavily-soiled clothes or dishes, often in very mild conditions, for instance at low temperatures and concentrations. Often compositions formulated to perform well in such conditions can be too powerful undiluted to be allowed to come into contact with sensitive skin without causing unpleasant, if minor, effects. Nevertheless, such contact, particularly with dishwashing liquids, can occur in practice. It has been found that use of some bars according to the invention surprisingly mitigates the effects of contact with such compositions.
  • polyethyleneoxide groups are believed to reduce the germicidal activity of quaternary ammonium compounds, which compounds in general contain at least one C to C straight-chain alkyl group.
  • the polyethyleneoxide quaternary ammonium compound does not contain more than 40 ethyleneoxide units per quaternary nitrogen atom the compound has adequate germicidal activity, provided that the analogous compound without polyethyleneoxide groups, i.e. with such groups replaced by methyl groups, has germicidal activity.

  • the present invention is applicable to all toilet bars comprising at least 15% by weight of a polyethyleneoxide quaternary ammonium compound as herein defined, which gives surprising improved afterwash feel and related effects.

  • polyethyleneoxide quaternary ammonium compounds are surprisingly compatible with anionic detergent compounds. Quaternary ammonium compounds often form complexes with anionic detergent compounds, which complexes often separate out with consequent loss of detergent action. It has been found that polyethyleneoxide quaternary ammonium compounds are surprisingly less likely to form complexes that separate out than are other quaternary ammonium compounds.
  • bars according to the invention based on anionic detergent compounds give a better after-wash feel than do bars based on anionic 5 detergent compounds containing analogous quaternary ammonium compounds.

In general, these involve either casting, pressure moulding or plodding and stamping. However, with the inclusion of the polyethylene oxide quaternary ammonium compounds in the bars according to the present invention, it may be necessary to adapt the compositions by, for example, incorporating' therein plasticisers, latherimprovers and hardening agents, etc.

  • EXAMPLE 212 The skin moisturising effect of three polyethylene oxide quaternary ammonium compounds according to the invention was determined by exposing portions of guinea pig foot-pad corneum to 20% w./w. aqueous solutions of the compounds for 4 hours at room temperature. Each portion of treated corneum was then equilibrated in an atmosphere of 90% relative humidity (RH) and then weighed, after which it was transferred to a dry atmosphere and after a period of re-equilibration the sample of corneum was weighed again. The difference in weight is a measure of the water-binding capacity of the corneum expressed as mg. of water bound per 100 mg. of dry corneum. A control experiment using distilled water was also conducted and the results are expressed in Table XIV below, each result being an average figure of at least 9 individual tests.
  • RH relative humidity
  • EXAMPLE 213 To determine the protective effect on human skin of washing with aqueous solutions of polyethylene-oxide quaternary ammonium compounds, samples of human skin were treated by the following procedure in Table XV after being mounted in perspex cells over saline saturated tissues.
  • sample G The treatment was the same as for sample F except that a 5% aqueous solution of sodium lauryl sulphate was used.
  • the aqueous solution used was replaced with a fresh solution after 10 minutes and again after 20 minutes.
  • each of the skin samples was rinsed in three changes each of 2 minutes duration in distilled water and then fixed in 5% aqueous solution of glutaraldehyde buffered to pH 6.9 with phosphate for 3 hours at 4 C. After fixation, the skin samples were thoroughly rinsed and then they were cooled rapidly in Freon 12 cooled to 158 C. by liquid nitrogen. The skin samples were then transferred to a Speedivac tissue drier and freeze dried overnight. The dry samples of skin were then metal shadowed with gold/ palladium for examination in a scanning electron microscope.
  • EXAMPLE 214 A polyethylene oxide quaternary ammonium compound containing ester linkages was prepared from polyethylene glycol as follows. 200 g. of polyethylene glycol (MW 1000) and 40 g. of chloracetic acid were dissolved in 300 ml. of toluene and refluxed for 24 hours. The water formed during the reaction was removed by azeotropic distillation and the solution allowed to stand over sodium carbonate 25 for one hour to remove chloracetic acid. The solution was filtered and the solvent distilled off to leave the compound:
