Definitions

  • the detergent composition comprises essentially a mixture of a soap component with a sucrose ester component which comprises at least one sucrose esster of fatty acid having 6 to 22 carbon atoms.
  • the detergent composition may further include a saccharide component.
  • the invention relates to new and improved detergent compositions, particularly to hazardless detergent compositions having improved detergency.
  • ABS alkylbenzene sulfonate
  • This detergent has a good detergency and is economical to manufacture and in this sense it may be said to be one of most desirable detergents.
  • such detergent has caused various problems partly because it is used in increasing amounts. Thus, it causes a foam public hazard to sewage disposal facilities and rivers to which it is discharged. Further, the pollution of undergound water has recently become a problem, giving birth to various rum about adverse effects on the human body. This is due to the fact that ABS is hardly decomposable in sewage water and retains its initial activity for a long time.
  • Soap which, stated historically, has been used from of old, has very little toxicity or harmfulness to organisms and is highly satisfactory in biodegradivity, but on the other hand it is disadvantageous in that when it is present in water containing heavy metal ions such as calcium and magnesium, it cooperates with these heavy metals to form a metal soap, which then becomes a water-insoluble scum detracting from the detergency and sticking to the material to be washed to degrade the feeling.
  • Such drawbacks of soap result in soap being driven out by synthetic detergents and unable to take over again synthetic detergent, which have caused public hazard problems.
  • the primarly object of the invention is to provide a detergent composition which has biodegradivity and causes no public hazard to the human body and which, moreover, is superior in detergency, foamability and foam stability.

  • oils and fats used as raw materials for soap tallow is used most, accounting for 75-80% of the raw material oils and fats for soap, but the soap made of tallow is also poor in detergency at low temperatures, and in order to develop sufficient detergency it is necessary to heat to 4050C, this being unsuitable to domestic washing conditions.
  • Another Object of the invention is to provide a detergent composition superior in detergency at low temperaturcs.
  • Detergents used in general homes to wash clothing consist mainly of ABS type surfactants discussed before with builder and other additives incorporated therein in accordance with various purposes. Also, in the case of preparing a detergent which imparts improved feeling and softening effect to the wash after washing, there may be thought of a method of providing the intended softening effect by adding a substance which is generally regarded as having a softening effect to a mixed product which has already been prepared as a detergent. Among these substances regarded as being capable of providing a softening effect there are the socalled textile softening agents. More particularly they are quaternary ammonium salts of higher alkyl amines, dialkyl trimethyl ammonium chloride, and polyamide type compounds of higher fatty acids.
