Definitions

  • the invention relates to preparation of aqueous detergent slurries with reduced viscosity. This invention also relates to preparation of " a particulate detergent and the novel detergent composition.
  • Particulate detergent compositions are generally prepared by forming an aqueous slurry of the materials which form the deter ⁇ gent and drying the slurry.
  • the slurry of the detergent forming composition is generally formed in a apparatus called a crutcher. Since the water present 1n the slurry must be removed to form a particulate detergent, the slurry generally has as low a con ⁇ centration of water as permitted by the required handling of the slurry in the drying operation.
  • Detergent compositions generally comprise at least one sur- factant, detergent builders such as phosphates, maleic acid/vinyl ether copolymers, silicates, carbonates, salts of nitrilotriacetic acid, zeolites and the like, fillers such as sodium sulfate, sodium chloride and various additives which prevent redeposition, brighten the clothes, chelate metal ions and the like.

  • alkyl polyglycoside surfactant and a co-surfactant.
  • One of the detergent builders which has been substituted for the now banned phosphates is sodium carbonate.
  • the inclusion of alkyl polyglycosides alone in a carbonate built detergent composition does not have the effect of substantially reducing the viscosity of the slurry. Accordingly, slurries containing higher propor ⁇ tions of water are required so that the detergent slurry can be handled and transported to the drying apparatus. The inclusion of the additional water in the detergent slurry reduces the capacity of the drying apparatus and increases the cost of preparing the particulate detergent composition.
  • the viscosity of a carbonate containing and particularly a carbonate built detergent slurry can be substantially reduced by including in the detergent slurry composition a viscosity reducing amount of an alkyl polyglycoside and an alkali metal chloride.
  • the viscosity of a detergent slurry containing a zeolite can also be reduced by addi ⁇ tion of alkyl polyglycoside and an alkali metal chloride to the detergent slurry.
  • the process for preparing a particulate detergent composition of the present invention comprises forming an aqueous slurry com- prising per 100 parts of total slurry weight:
  • the non-aqueous composition comprises: a. from about 2% to 50% by weight of an anionic surfac- tant, a nonionic surfactant or mixture thereof; b. from about 10% to about 70% by weight of an alkali metal carbonate builder; c. from about 0 to about 50% by weight of at least one supplemental builder; d. from about 0 to about 60% by weight of at least one filler; e. from about 0 to about 15% by weight of at least one additive; f. at least a viscosity reducing amount of at least one alkyl glycoside and an alkali metal chloride;
  • the invention also includes a slurry having the above com ⁇ position and a particulate detergent formed from the dried slurry.

  • the amount of water in the slurry can be reduced to form a slurry with a higher concentration of active ingredients having a viscosity which still permits handling of the detergent slurry with normal handling equipment. That is, the addition of more non-aqueous materials to the alkyl polyglycoside containing slurry produces a slurry with a viscosity and pu pability not higher than a slurry of lower con- centration not containing the alkyl polyglycoside.
  • alkyl polyglucoside alone does not substantially reduce the viscosity of carbonate containing detergent slurries.
  • Applicants have unexpectedly discovered that the combination of alkyl glycoside and particularly an alkyl polyglycoside and an alkali metal chloride substantially reduces the viscosity of car ⁇ bonate containing and particularly carbonate built detergent slurries.
  • the discovery is unexpected since the addition of either alkyl glycoside or an alkali metal chloride salt alone to a carbonate containing detergent slurry does not substantially reduce the viscosity of the slurry and, in some cases, actually increases the viscosity.

  • the viscosity of a detergent slurry increases as the detergent slurry ages. This is particularly cri ⁇ tical in low water slurries. Low water slurries as they age and the ingredients hydrate- tend to become granular and can set up as a solid material.
  • the addition of alkyl glycoside and alkali metal chloride to the detergent slurries of the invention permits the slurry to remain fluid over long periods of time. Even when the viscosity of the carbonate containing slurry does not require reduction, the addition of alkyl glycoside and preferably alkyl polyglycoside and alkali metal chloride improves the texture and handleability of the slurry.
