Definitions

• the present invention relates to a cleaning liquid for the hands, or more generally to body cleaning, which does not require means of rinsing such as water for its use.
• a certain number of patents or patent applications describe cleaning products comprising one or more of the components used in the formulation of one or other of the embodiments of the present product; especially documents GB-A-930.394, GB-A-2.106.927, BE-A-672.899, US-A-2.994.665, DE-A-2.846.639, but the application of which is essentially different from that of the present invention since it is respectively a product for dishwasher and washing machine, a product for cleaning the C bowl, a product for a washing machine, a product for cleaning floors , a cleaning product for household, dishes, tiles and windows as well as a cleaning product for cars, washing machines and floors.
• EP-A-166,608 describes a cleaning product for body use but which requires rinsing with water for its elimination from the body after use.
• the invention proposes to make available a cleaning liquid for the hands, the use of which does not meet the drawbacks and disadvantages mentioned above; this cleaning liquid requiring no water or additional liquid, can be used in any location not connected both to a water distribution system and to a drainage network, its cleaning power being very high, only a very small amount of liquid is necessary, even for heavily fouled hands, and moreover, disinfectant and skin care components being included in the liquid, the use thereof is not detrimental to the skin of the hands.
• this product can also be used as a liquid cleaning soap, with water, for people who, by reflex, habit or mechanically, would operate a water tap. current located nearby.
• the base of the composition of the cleaning product is formed from water, thickened with a cellulosic product, thus allowing a very small amount of product to be sufficient for effective cleaning of the hands.
• this cellulosic product will be an ethylhydroxyethylcellulose, known as BERMOCOLL E 481 FQ.
• Other cellulose products can also be used, such as, for example, purified sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, methylhydroxypropylcellulosehylcellulose or sodium alginate. It is also possible to obtain regularity in the viscosity of the cleaning product by adding amides of a fatty acid, for example lauric acid diethanolamide or lauric acid isopropanolamide to the preceding component.
• the concentration of said cellulosic product can vary between 0.2% and 1.0% by mass, the best concentration being 0.35% by mass. In the case of the use of the other cellulosic products mentioned, their concentration can vary between 0.1% and 0.5% by mass.
• concentration of said emulsifier in the case of the use of RE OPAL TA 25p, is 0.5 to 2.5% by mass, preferably: 0.78%.
• ethoxylated mono- and diglycerides are recommended; a non-ionic surfactant of the RE ODERM LI 63 type, the structure of which is:
• This component is used between 0.2% and 1.0% by mass, the best concentration being 0.35% by mass.
• a nonionic surfactant based on fatty acid amide is used, for example a diethanolamide of coconut acid of the REWOMID DC 212s type, of which the structure is:
• This component is used in a concentration ranging from 0.1% to 2.5% by mass, the best concentration being 0.78%.
• REWOMID DC 212s could be replaced by sodium chloride (NaCl) in the same proportions.
• NaCl sodium chloride
• a glycine derivative or a catalytic ampholyte nique is used as a disinfectant additive; these amphoteric surfactants give the best results.
• the component used is of the REWOTERIC QAM 50 type, the structure of which is:
• This component is used in an amount of 0.1% to 1.0% by mass, the preferred concentration being 0.39%.
• Other bacteriostatic products like
• LANOQUAT 50 based on lanolin sulfosuccinates, can replace REWOTERIC QAM 50 in the same concentrations.
• the concentration of cleaning products can vary between 2 and 3% of active substance; the rest of the solution is water.
• the PH value and the viscosity vary respectively from 6 to 8 and from 5 to 7 Pa.s depending on the formulas used.
• the bottle containing the hand cleaning product will preferably be provided with a stopper or a dosing spout, so as to deliver only the required quantity of liquid; it is also possible to provide a packaging of the liquid in the form of a spray or a vaporizer.
• the cleaning product for the hands For the use of the cleaning product for the hands, it is enough to deposit the required quantity of liquid in the hands, then to rub the hands one on the other and to wipe the hands with 1 " using a towel or handkerchief (the operation can be repeated possibly one or more times, in case of extremely dirty hands); it is not then necessary to rinse your hands and they are not covered with a greasy film as can be encountered with other kinds of products.
• the disinfectant By the action of the disinfectant, the hands are disinfected and treated with REWODERM LI 63.
• This cleaning product for the hands being of universal use can be conditioned in many ways according to the specific intended use; for example - be in the form of a distributor available in the halls of stations, terminals, department stores, hotels and restaurants, public transport and finally in all public places, as well that in professional premises, workshops and work sites for example; in these cases it is particularly well suited to be used in one of the distributors which are the subject of the patent application published WO 90/10285.
• the bottle can be part of a cleaning kit, designed especially for the automobile, camping or for the bag or pocket; it can also be in the form of a mini-package of a single dose dispensed with a tissue on planes, restaurants etc.
• the hand cleaning liquid can also form part of a table display, with handkerchiefs or paper napkins, in particular for replacing the finger rinses used after certain dishes. Because of its properties, this cleaning product can easily also be used for many other uses than hand cleaning, especially in places where water must be saved. to be used for the complete cleaning of the human body, in the form of a "dry shower" in mountain huts, in civil protection shelters, for soldiers or in cabins carrying out space conquest among others. It should also be noted that this product is also usable for cleaning all animals, objects or surfaces to be cleaned and / or disinfected.
• the cleaning product for the hands by its cleaning qualities as well as the fact that it does not require a water point for its use is of a very universal use; given the small quantity of liquid required, it is very easily packaged in reduced volume, whether for public places, industry, transport, family or personal use.
