Description
DETERGENT COMPOSITION COMPRISING CLAY FLOCCULATING POLYMER WITH PARTICLE SIZE LESS THAN 250 MICRONS.
The invention relates to a granular detergent composition comprising (i) a softening clay and (ii) a clay flocculating polymer, and to a process for making the composition. The composition is particularly useful in "softening-through-the-wash" products.
Clay flocculating polymer, such as polyethylene oxide having high molecular weight, is commercially available as a 100% active powder.
EP-A-0 299 575, published on 18th January 1989, discloses granular detergent compositions comprising softening clay and polymeric clay-flocculating polymer. It is stated that in preparing a granular detergent composition the polymeric clay- flocculating agent can be added in a variety of ways. It may be added to the crutcher mix prior to spray-drying; or it may be sprayed onto a granular detergent from a solution in water or an organic solvent; or it may be dry-mixed, in the form of particles, with a granular detergent. This application does not mention preferred particle size of clay flocculating polymer.
However, when polymeric clay flocculating polymers are dry mixed to granular detergents, undesirable patchy clay deposition or residues are observed. Patchy deposition is where visible lumps of clay deposit on a fabric surface. It is caused when the clay particles are flocculated very rapidly before they have had chance to disperse. This leads to the formation of lumps of clay which deposit on the fabric surface. Residues are caused when high local concentrations of the clay flocculating polymer, present in the formulation, form gels on contact with water, leading to poor dispensing ofthe product and an increased risk of product deposition on clothes.
Furthermore, clay flocculating polymers when handled in particulate form, give rise to handling and explosivity problems.
Summary ofthe Invention
According to the present invention undesirable patchy clay deposition and residues are avoided by sieving or grinding the clay flocculating polymer such that at least
95% by weight of the clay flocculating polymer has a particle size of less than 250 micrometers, and preferably less than 150 micrometers, before adding it to the granular detergent composition.
Preferably the clay flocculating polymer is a polyethylene oxide with an average molecular weight of between 100 000 and 10 million, more preferably between 150 000 and 800 000.
In a further aspect of the invention, a process for making a granular detergent composition is provided, comprising the step of premixing the clay flocculating polymer with a powder selected from the group consisting of aluminosilicate, silicate, carbonate, citrate, phosphate, or mixtures thereof, and subsequently mixing the premix with other detergent components.
Preferably the premix consists of the clay flocculating polymer and aluminosilicate in a ratio of from 1:20 to 20:1.
Detailed Description ofthe Invention
Softening clay
Softening clays may be either unmodified or organically modified. Those clays which are not organically modified can be described as expandable, three-layered clays, i.e., aluminosilicates and magnesium silicates, having an ion exchange capacity of at least 50 eq/lOOg. of clay and preferably at least 60 meq/100 g. of clay. The starting clays for the organically modified clays can be similarly described. The term "expandable" as used to describe clays relates to the ability of the layered clay structure to be swollen, or expanded, on contact with water. The three-layer expandable clays used herein are those materials classified geologically as smectites. There are two distinct classes of smectite-type clays that can be broadly differentiated on the basis of the numbers of octahedral metal-oxygen arrangements in the central layer for a given number of silicon-oxygen atoms in outer layers. A more complete description of clay minerals is given in "Clay Colloid Chemistry" by H. van Olphen, John Wiley & Sons (Interscience Publishers), New York, 1963. Chapter 6, especially pages 66-69.
The family of smectite (or montmorillonoid) clays includes the following trioctahedral minerals: talc; hectorite; saponite; sauconite; vermiculite; and the following dioctahedral minerals: prophyllite; montmorillonite; volchonskoite and nontronite.
The clays employed in these compositions contain cationic counterions such as protons, sodium ions, potassium ions, calcium ions, and lithium ions. It is customary to distinguish between clays on the basis of one cation predominantly or exclusively absorbed. For example, a sodium clay is one in which the absorbed cation is predominantly sodium. Such absorbed cations can become involved in exchange reactions with cations present in aqueous solutions. A typical exchange reaction involving a smectite-type clay is expressed by the following equation : smectite clay (Na)+ + NH4OH => smectite clay (NH4)"1" + NaOH. Since in the foregoing equilibrium reaction, an equivalent weight of ammonium ion replaces an equivalent weight of sodium, it is customary to measure cation exchange capacity (sometimes termed "base exchange capacity") in terms of milliequivalents per 100 g. of clay (meq/lOOg). The cation exchange capacity of clays can be measured in several ways, including by electrodialysis, by exchange with ammonium ion followed by titration, or by a methylene blue procedure, all as fully set forth in Grimshaw, "The Chemistry and Physics of Clays", pp. 264-265, Interscience (1971). The cation exchange capacity of a clay material relates to such factors as the expandable properties ofthe clay, the charge ofthe clay (which in turn is determined at least in part by the lattice structure), and the like. The ion exchange capacity of clays varies widely in the range form about 2 meq/ 100 g. of kaolinites to about 150 meq/100 g., and greater, for certain smectite clays.
Preferred smectite-type clays are sodium montmorillonite, potassium montmorillonite, sodium hectorite and potassium hectorite. The clays used herein have a particle size range of up to about 1 micron.
Any ofthe clays used herein may be either naturally or synthetically derived.
Clay Flocculating Polymer
Most clay flocculating polymers are fairly long chained polymers and co-polymers derived from such monomers as ethylene oxide, acrylamide, acrylic acid, dimethylamino ethyl methacrylate, vinyl alcohol, vinyl pyrrolidone and ethylene imine. Gums, like guar gum, are suitable as well.
Preferred are polymers of ethylene oxide, acrylamide or acrylic acid. These polymers dramatically enhance the deposition of a fabric softening clay if their molecular weights are in the range of from 100 000 to 10 million. Preferred are such polymers having a weight average molecular weight of from 150000 to 5 million.
The most preferred polymer is poly (ethylene oxide). Molecular weight distributions can be readily determined using gel permeation chromatography, against standards of poly (ethylene oxide) of narrow molecular weight distributions.
Process
The particle size of the polymer is reduced by either a standard milling operation or through physical screening ofthe particles. The raw material is then optionally mixed with a powder, such as fine aluminosilicate (Zeolite type A) in a mixer and then added to a finished product process. The zeolite acts as a carrier for the polymer, helping to aid its dispersion in the finished product making.
Many types of particle size alteration equipment can be used to reduce the mean particle size ofthe clay flocculating polymer to below 250 micrometers. Continuous screens such as Russel Finex and Mogenson vibratory screens, or continuous scraper screens. Batch screening operations involving RoTap variants are also applicable for small quantities. For larger scale operations, continuous air jet mills can be used that both size reduce and classify the material at the same time.
In a particular embodiment of the invention the polymer particles may be treated by micronisation to further reduce mean particle size.
Other detergent components
The particulate components of the present invention will normally be incoφorated into finished detergent products, especially those comprising softening clay. Other conventional detergent ingredients such as anionic and nonionic surfactants, builders, bleach, bleach activator, suds suppressor, enzymes (e.g. protease, amylase, cellulase, lipase), perfume brightener, soil release polymer will commonly be used.
