Abstract

The present invention relates to a composition comprising keto acid(s) and surfactant(s) for cleaning.

Description

Use of keto acids in odor control cleaners

When cleaning and keeping surfaces clean, the smell of urine and its decomposition product ammonia plays a major role. In addition to the sanitary area, where surfaces may be exposed to urine, there are other areas where such exposure can not be avoided. In all cases where people are not desirably able to control their urine flow due to illness, age, or under the influence of intoxicants, surfaces can become contaminated with urine. Accordingly, in hospitals, nursing homes, as well as in some public areas such as public transport, under bridges, in tunnels, and in facilities such as sobering cells, there is a need for detergents which reduce the urine odor and which will provide the treated surface with such benefits it does not or only with delay releases the characteristic odor, which is essentially determined by the decomposition product ammonia, upon renewed urine exposure.

US Pat. No. 6,869,923 describes a perfume composition which can be used in sanitary applications in cleaners. However, this composition has the disadvantage that a user who only wants to avoid the urine odor during and after cleaning, this option does not have, but the smell can only be superimposed by another, generally perceived as pleasant.

Also US 6,376,457 describes a perfume composition for use in cleaners in the sanitary sector. Again, the user has no way to avoid the unpleasant smell of urine, - he can cover it only by a more intense - again generally perceived as pleasant - smell.

Likewise, US Pat. No. 6,625,821, which deals essentially with a dispersing device for cleaning agents and fragrances in toilets, only describes the use of fragrances for solving the problem of urine odor in the sanitary sector.

Hence, the task of avoiding the smell of urine in the cleaning of urine contaminated surfaces, and the task of preserving the cleaned surfaces, so that they delays on renewed urine exposure first, and ideally not accept the corresponding odor or release.

Surprisingly, these objects are achieved by the composition according to claims 1 to 13, the metering devices according to claims 14 and 15, the kit of parts according to claim 16, the cleaning device according to claim 17 and the use of these according to claims 18 to 20.

Nonionic surfactants are surfactants with an uncharged, neutral ion-carrying, polar, hydrophilic, water-solubilizing head group (as distinct from anionic and cationic surfactants) adsorbed at interfaces and above the critical micelle concentration (cmc) to neutral micelles aggregated. Depending on the type of hydrophilic head group, it is possible to distinguish between (oligo) oxyalkylene groups, in particular (oligo) oxyethylene groups (polyethylene glycol groups), for which the fatty alcohol polyglycol ethers, fatty alcohol ethoxylates, alkoxylated triglycerides and mixed ethers ( double sided alkylated polyethylene glycol ethers); and carbohydrate groups, which include, for. As the alkyl polyglucosides and fatty acid N-methylglucamides count.

Alcohol alkoxylates are based on a hydrophobic part having a chain length of 4 to 20 carbon atoms, preferably 6 to 19 carbon atoms and more preferably 8 to 18 carbon atoms, wherein the alcohol may be branched or unbranched, and a hydrophilic part which are alkoxylated units, e.g. For example, ethylene oxide (EO), propylene oxide (PO) and / or butylene oxide (BuO), with 2 to 30 repeating units can act. Examples include Lutensol® XP, Lutensol® XL, Lutensol® ON, Lutensol® AT, Lutensol® A, Lutensol® AO, Lutensol® TO.

Alcohol phenol alkoxylates are compounds of the general formula (IV),

which are prepared by addition of alkylene oxide, preferably of ethylene oxide to alkylphenols, in which n is a number from 2 to 30. Preferably, R4 = H is preferred. It is also preferred, if R5 = H, - it is therefore EO; it is also preferred if R 5 = CH 3, ie it is PO, or if R 5 = CH 2 CH 3 and it is BuO. Also particularly preferred is a compound in which octyl- [(R1 = R3 = H, R2 = 1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl (diisobutylene)], nonyl- [(R1 = R3 = H, R2 = 1, 3 , 5-trimethylhexyl (tripropylene)], dodecyl, dinonyl or tributylphenol polyglycol ethers (eg EO, PO, BuO), RC ₆ H ₄ -O- (EO / PO / BuO) n where R = C 8 to C 12 and n = 5 to 10. Non-exhaustive examples of such compounds are: Norfox® OP-102, Surfonic® OP-120, T-Det® 0-12.

Fatty acid ethoxylates are fatty acid esters post-treated with different amounts of ethylene oxide (EO).

Triglycerides are esters of glycerol (glycerides) in which all three hydroxy groups are esterified with fatty acids. These can be modified with alkylene oxide.

Fatty acid alkanolamides are compounds of the general formula (V)

which has at least one amide group with one alkyl radical R and one or two alkoxyl radicals (e), where R 1 comprises 1 to 17 C atoms and 1 <m + n <5.

Alkylpolyglycosides are mixtures of alkylmonoglucoside (alkyl-α-D- and -β-D-glucopyranoside and small amounts of glucofuranoside), alkyldiglucosides (-isomaltosides, maltosides and others) and alkyl oligoglucosides (maltotriosides, tetraosides and others) others).

An example is Lutensol® GD70.

In the group of nonionic N-alkylated, preferably N-methylated, fatty acid amides of the general formula (VII)

R 1 is generally an n-C 12 -alkyl radical, R 2 is an alkyl radical having 1 to 8 C atoms. R 2 is preferably methyl.

There are also preferred ranges of amounts in which the two components should be present in the composition.

Thus, on the one hand, a composition is preferred in which the (total) amount of keto acid (s) 0.01 to 99.99% by mass, particularly preferably 0.1 to 95% by mass, very particularly preferably 0.25 to 50 mass %, and most preferably 0.5 to 20 mass%.

On the other hand, a composition is preferred in which the at least one surfactant is present in a (total) amount of from 0.01 to 99% by mass, more preferably from 0.5 to 50% by mass, and most preferably from 1 to 25 mass % is present.

The term "(total) amount" is understood to mean that in the case that only one keto acid or only one surfactant according to the invention is present in the composition, the amount of this substance is to be considered, while in the case that several Keto acids or a plurality of surfactants according to the invention are present, in each case the sum this is to be considered. Contains the connection so z. % Mass% anionic surfactant and% mass cationic surfactant, then x + y mass% should be taken as the basis.

Furthermore, it is preferred if the composition additionally contains at least one of the following substances: disinfectant, dye, perfume, acid, base, complexing agent, biocide, hydrotrope, thickener.

A composition as described, which also contains at least one disinfectant, is particularly preferred. The at least one disinfectant is present in a (total) amount of from 0.1 to 20% by mass, preferably from 1 to 10% by mass, in the composition.

Disinfectants may be: oxidizing agents, halogens such as chlorine and iodine and these releasing agents, alcohols such as ethanol, 1-propanol and 2-propanol, aldehydes, phenols, ethylene oxide, detergents, chlorhexidine and mecetronium metal sulfate.

The advantage of using disinfectants is that pathogens can hardly spread on the treated surface. Pathogens can be: bacteria, spores, fungi or viruses.

Dyes may include, but are not limited to, Acid Blue 9, Acid Yellow 3, Acid Yellow 23, Acid Yellow 73, Pigment Yellow 101, Acid Green 1, Acid Green 25. The advantage of using dyes in toilets is that they give the impression that something has been done to keep it clean.

Preference is therefore given to a composition in which the at least one dye is present in a (total) amount of from 0.1 to 20% by mass, particularly preferably from 1 to 10% by mass.

A composition which also contains at least one perfume is particularly preferred.

Fragrances can be individual compounds or mixtures of alcohols, aldehydes, terpenes and / or esters. Examples of fragrances are: Lemongrass OiI, Cochin, Dihydro Myrcenol, Lilial, Phenylethylalcohol, Tetrahydrolinalool, Hexenol cis-3, Lavandin grosso, Citral, Allylcapronate, Citronitrile, Benzylacetate, Hexylcinnamaldehyde, Citronellol, Isoamylsalizilate, Isobornylacetate, Terpinylacetate, Linalylacetate , Terpinyl acetate, dihydromyrcenol, agrunitrile, eucalyptus oil, herbalaflorate and orange oil. The advantage of the use of fragrances is that the treated surface gives a freshly cleaned impression and covers other disturbing odors. The composition therefore preferably contains at least one perfume in a (total) amount of 0.1 to 20 mass%, particularly preferably 1 to 10 mass ⁰ /).

Acids are compounds that are advantageously used to dissolve or prevent limescale. Examples of acids are formic acid, acetic acid, citric acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and sulfonic acid.

Bases are compounds that can be advantageously used to set the low pH range for complexing agents. Examples of bases which can be used according to the invention are: NaOH, KOH and aminoethanol.

Complexing agents are compounds that are able to bind cations. This can be used to reduce the hardness of the water and to precipitate interfering heavy metal ions. Examples of complexing agents are NTA, EDTA, MGDA and GLDA. The advantage of using these compounds is that many detergent-active compounds perform better in soft water; In addition, by reducing the water hardness, the occurrence of limescale after cleaning can be avoided. Using these compounds eliminates the need to dry the cleaned surface. This is advantageous from the point of view of the workflow and is therefore desirable in particular, since in this way the composition according to the invention applied for preservation is not partially removed again.

Biocides are compounds that kill bacteria. An example of a biocide is glutaraldehyde. The advantage of using biocides is that they counteract the spread of pathogens.

Hydrotropes are compounds that improve the solubility of the surfactant (s) in the composition. An example of a hydrotrope is: cumene sulfonate.

Thickeners are compounds that increase the viscosity of the composition. Examples of thickening agents are: e.g. Polyacrylates or hydrophobically modified polyacrylates. The advantage of using thickeners is that higher viscosity fluids on inclined or vertical surfaces have a longer residence time than lower viscosity fluids. This increases the interaction time between the composition and the surface to be cleaned.

Another object of the present invention is a metering device for the abovementioned composition. A metering device in the sense of this invention is a vessel which contains the composition according to the invention and releases it through at least one opening. The extraction by gravity, z. B. by pouring through an opening; by pumping, z. B. by generating an overpressure in the vessel but also by applying a negative pressure from the outside. It is also advantageous to convey the composition of the invention by means of a propellant gas from the container. In this case, those metering devices are preferred which distribute the composition according to the invention as homogeneously as possible on the surface to be treated or on the cleaning device to be used for cleaning. Particularly preferred is a metering device in which at least two of the constituents of the composition according to the invention are mixed together only at the time of delivery. This type of metering device is particularly advantageous if, in addition to the at least one keto acid, one or more surfactants are used which interact with the keto acid (s). If further constituents are present which interact with one another, it is particularly advantageous to separate them during storage and to combine these interacting constituents only during use.

Another object of the present invention is a kit of parts consisting of at least two simultaneously or successively applied substances which together correspond to the composition of the invention.

So can / can z. In a container containing one or more keto acid (s) and in a second container the one or more surfactants. A separation in z. As strongly acidic or strongly basic constituents on the one hand and one or more acid or base-sensitive compounds on the other hand is so feasible and is within the scope of the present invention. Such a kit of parts allows, in addition to the substantially simultaneous use of the various components, also a time-dependent use of the components. So z. B. first carried out the cleaning of the surface to be cleaned with the surfactant-containing composition and then the preservation of the surface with the keto acid / n-containing composition. Finally, it is also possible to use two compositions in which the first contains surfactant (s) and keto acid (s) and the second essentially only keto acid (s). Thus, the odor nuisance during cleaning can be reduced with the first composition, and then preservation can be achieved with the second composition. This, too, forms a preferred subject of the present invention.

A cleaning device comprising the composition according to the invention forms a further subject of the present invention. A cleaning device in the sense of this invention is all that is suitable for achieving a cleaning effect. This includes: sponges, rags, cloths, metal wipers, plastic, glass, ceramics and / or rubber, nonwovens and brushes.

Furthermore, the use of a composition according to the invention, a metering device according to the invention, a kit of parts according to the invention and / or a cleaning device according to the invention for cleaning hard surfaces and / or fabrics and / or upholstery is the subject of this invention.

Preference is given to a use in which the surface to be cleaned is selected from the group consisting of fibers, nonwovens, foams, tiles, tiles, marble, ceramics, concrete, plastic, metal, enamel, glass. Particularly preferred is a use in which the object to be cleaned is a toilet.

The invention is further illustrated by the following examples:

Examples:

In each case one cleaner was added 5 mass% or 10 mass% 2 keto-L-gulonic acid. Thereafter, with the samples, i. H. carried out with the detergent itself and with the two keto acid-containing compositions an ammonia test.

Ammonia Test:

• 250 mg of the cleaner or of the keto acid-containing cleaner were weighed into a 100 ml Erlenmeyer flask.

30 mg of solid urease (from sword beans, lyophilized 5 U / mg for serum urea determination, Merck, Item No. 4194753) were weighed in a 100 ml beaker

To the urease was added 50 ml of 0.9% saline containing urea (8.56 g / L).

All the liquid from the beaker was poured rapidly into the sample in the Erlenmeyer flask

• a diffusion tube (Dräger tube, ammonia 20 / aD, 20-1500 ppm ^* h, p / n 8101301) was mounted so that the flask was sealed (tube in a drilled rubber stopper)

• every 30 minutes, the value on the diffusion tube was read and noted; the measurement lasted over 6 hours Double determination (value 1, value 2)

Example 1 :

No cleaning agent

Example 2:

Ci2-Ci8-Alcohol + 1-8 PO + 1-8 EO + Cs-ds-Alkylpolyglucosid + Cs-do-carboxylic acid

6 mass% penta sodium triphosphate 3 mass% butyl glycol 10 mass%

Water 81 mass%.

Example 3:

C13, 15-oxoalcohol +7 EO 5 mass%

Coconut alkalinity 1, 8 mass% dodecyl benzene sulfonate, amine salt 8.25 mass% penta sodium triphosphate 3 mass%

Cumene sulfonate 3.2% by weight

Water 78.75 mass%

Example 4:

Dodecylbenzenesulfonate, amine salt 3.3 mass%

C13, 15-oxo-alcohol +8 EO 3 mass%

Alkyl polyglucoside 1 mass%

Water 94.7 mass%.

Example 5 as Example 4 only detergent formulation diluted 1: 20

The examples clearly show that the compositions according to the invention significantly reduce the release of ammonia and thus lead to an improved odor behavior with respect to urine.
