Primary Examiner-Benjamin R. Padgett Assistant ExaminerE. A. Miller Attorney, Agent, or FirmStephen Venetianer [57] ABSTRACT New automatic toilet bowl cleaner compositions that are capable of inhibiting the growth or multiplication of microbiological organisms are described herein. The bacteriostatic agent in the above compositions is 5-chloro-2-(2,4-dich1orophenoxy)phenol.
10 Claims, No Drawings BACTERIOSTATIC TOILET BOWL CLEANER COMPOSITIONS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to novel toilet bowl cleaner compositions. These compositions possess antimicrobial properties at the extremely low dilutions which are normally encountered with a product of this nature.
2. Description of the Prior Art Compositions which automatically dispense cleaning agents and cleaning adjuncts into toilet bowls have been in commercial use for many years. However, the inhibition of the growth or multiplication of microbiological organisms in products of the above nature has been difficult to accomplish. This difficulty is due to the fact that most antimicrobial agents are ineffective at the extreme'dilutions that automatic bowl cleaners are used. I
Recently, a new antimicrobial agent, namely 5- chloro-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenol has been disclosed in US. Pat. No. 3,506,720. The assignee of this patent (Ciba-Geigy) has published data (lrgasa n DP- 300, Publication DC-25) which indicates that the mini-- mum inhibitory concentration of 5-chloro-2-( 2,4- dichlorophenoxy)phenol required for specific microorganisms is lppm for S. aureus and P. mirabilis and 3ppm for E. coli.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION DESCRIPTION OF SPECIFIC EMBODIMENTS The novel liquid composition of this invention comprises:
Ingrcdient By Weight Isopropanol 10-20 5-chloro-2-( 2,4-dichlorophenoxy )phenol 0.5-6 Alkoxylated primary fatty alcohol 0.1-20 Linear Alkyl Aryl Sulfonate Salt I 05-20 Sodium hydroxide -2 Water, Dye, Perfume Sufficient to make up to 100% The preferred formula for an effective liquid cleaning and bacteriostatic composition is as follows:
Ingredient By Weight- Isopropanol 14-16 -chloro-2-( 2.4-dichlorophenoxy)phenol l.l-l .6 Alkoxylated primary fatty alcohol 4-17 Linear Alkyl Aryl Sulfonate Salt 0.5- Water, Dye, Perfume Sufficient to make up to 100% Sodium sulfate; Perfume, Dye
Sodium sulfate, Perfume, Dye Sufficient to make up to The preferred formula foran effective solid cleaning and bacteriostatic composition is as follows:
Ingredients -By-Weight 5-chloro-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenol l-3 (97%-minimum activity) Alkoxylated primary fatty alcohol I 2-8 Ethoxylated alcohol adduct 25-35 Polyethylene glycol 2-8 Sufficient to make up to 100% Examples of alkoxylated primary alcohols that are useful in this itivention are those alkoxylated primary alcohols wherein the alkyl chain length is primarily nw Examples of linear alkyl aryl sulfonate salts that are useful in this invention are the salts of an alk'ylaryl sulfonate wherein the alkyl carbon chain length is C -C The novel composition in its solid form contains an ethoxylated alcohol adduct whose primary alcohol chain length is about C, C In addition to the cleaning and bacteriostatic properties that the novel formulations of this invention possess, they also have the ability to reduce the surface tension of water.
As will be illustrated in the following examples, the liquid compositions of this invention have the'ability to exhibit bacteriostatic properties at use levels as low as 0.2 parts per million of the anti-microbial. Thesolid compositions exhibit bacteriostatic properties at use levels as low as 0.1 parts per million of the antimicrobial. The examples will also indicate the antimicrobial agents known in the prior art are either ineffective or are not readily or efficiently compounded or solubilized.
The following examples illustrate the above described invention. The bacteria employed as the test organisms are representative of both gram negative and gram positive'bacteria. The test procedure employed is the Agar Plate Test and the Agar Cup Plate Test as described in U.S.D.A.circular No'. 198, 1931. The results are reported as zones of inhibition and measured in millimeters.
