Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved process for the incorporation of microcapsules into a structured aqueous liquid detergent composition comprising at least 30 wt% total surfactant.
  • microcapsules in liquid detergents.
  • Microcapsules having a shell that protects the inner core contents may provide delayed release of their contents and /or provide a stable formulation when their contents would otherwise interact with the bulk liquid.
  • Such microcapsules are well known in the detergent field, and they have been proposed for inclusion in aqueous liquid detergent compositions.
  • the microcapsules are small enough to be usable in large numbers and are generally not visible to the eye when introduced to the liquid. Nevertheless, they may cause the liquid to become hazy.
  • Some microcapsules may be suspendible in an unmodified liquid. Others, with less closely matched specific gravity, may require modification of the liquid via a thickening or structuring system in order to avoid creaming or settling.
  • microcapsules Typical of such microcapsules are perfume encapsulates with melamine formaldehyde shells as described in US-A-5 066 419.
  • the microcapsules may alternatively contain other liquid fabric treatment additives such as shading dye, lubricants etc.
  • the contents of the microcapsules are not important for the present invention.
  • microcapsules When such microcapsules are added to concentrated surfactant solutions, especially ones comprising an external structurant, such as hydrogenated castor oil, or microfibrous cellulose, the microcapsules have been found to undergo agglomeration into clumps during the incorporation step. These agglomerates remain undispersed in the liquid. This increases visibility of the microcapsules. It also causes uneven dosing of their contents per wash, as liquid is removed from the container. Finally, if the agglomerated microcapsules survive up to the point of deposition onto a fabric then the content of the microcapsules is overdosed at that point and is unevenly distributed across the surface of the fabric. This could cause unwanted effects such as fabric damage or the need to use more microcapsules than would otherwise be necessary. Thus, it is highly desirable to avoid substantial agglomeration of microcapsules in an aqueous liquid detergent.
  • an external structurant such as hydrogenated castor oil, or microfibrous cellulose
  • concentrated is meant a total surfactant content (including soap) of 30 wt% or greater.
  • WO09135765A discloses a process for the manufacture of a structured liquid detergent composition
  • a disperse-phase benefit agent which may be a perfume microcapsule, micro-fibrous cellulose structurant, at least 5 wt% of anionic surfactant and 25 to 55 wt% surfactant, the process comprising the steps of preparation of a micro-fibrous cellulose premix using high shear mixing, (ii) separate preparation of an aqueous surfactant mix, combination of the micro- fibrous cellulose premix and the surfactant mix using high shear mixing, perfume microcapsules may be post dosed to the resulting structured concentrated surfactant structured liquid.
  • the high shear mixing step is achieved using an inline mixing process, such as by contacting the two process streams directly before an in-line mixer.
  • Microcapsule particle sizes are in the range of 5 to 50 microns, preferably 10 to 30 microns.
  • Example 4 of WO09135765A discloses details of perfume microcapsule addition. 1 .5 wt% perfume encapsulates were added to an MFC structured liquid with a surfactant level of 40 to 50 wt%. Addition was performed over 30 sec, using a Heidolph stirrer, mixing continued for 5 min (if required). A Heidolph laboratory mixer is an overhead driven propeller or paddle stirrer. It is not a static in-line mixer. There is not any disclosure made of the quality of the liquid detergent product made this way. We have now found that certain perfume microcapsules tend to suffer from agglomeration problems when added this way.
  • microcapsules are stirred into a laundry liquid detergent prepared by combining an aqueous premix of heavy duty liquid (HDL) detergent composition and a structuring premix.
  • the HDL premix is prepared by combining HDL components with water in a suitable vessel under suitable agitation and the structuring agent premix is prepared by combining hydrogenated castor oil and other structuring agent premix ingredients.
  • the microcapsules are then slowly added to the structured liquid while it was maintained under gentle agitation - paragraph 88.
  • Other prior art either gives no details of the way microcapsules are added, or says to stir them in.
  • HCO hydrogenated castor oil
  • WO2010/034736 we describe the incorporation of perfume microcapsules into a concentrated liquid detergent, structured using hydrogenated castor oil.
  • the microcapsules are added as an encapsulated perfume slurry and mixed in using a paddle mixer.
  • the formulations were assessed visually by eye, and by
  • compositions exhibited no loss or change of structuring or encapsulate dispersal after being tested for 12 weeks at 5 °C, 12 weeks at 37 °C and 4 weeks at 50 °C.
  • the initial dispersal by paddle mixer gives an unacceptably high amount of substantially agglomerated perfume encapsulates. These agglomerates appear not to redisperse. The presence of such
  • agglomerated material is undesirable, for the reasons explained previously. It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved process for the production of concentred externally structured liquid detergents, which liquid detergents are capable of suspending microcapsules, for example encapsulated fragrances, which are not visible to the eye.
  • a structured aqueous concentrated liquid detergent comprising at least 30 wt%, preferably at most 65 wt%, total surfactant of which at least 5 wt% based on the total composition is anionic surfactant, including soap, and an external structurant, the process comprising the combining of two premixes;
  • Premix A which is the structured aqueous concentrated liquid detergent composition without microcapsules
  • Premix B which comprises an aqueous dispersion of the microcapsules with anionic charge, characterised in that:

  • Premix B is added to Premix A and the resulting combined mixture is passed through a static in-line mixer with an energy input of from 20 to 500 J/kg to form, immediately after the mixer, a structured liquid comprising less than 10%, based on the total number of groups of microcapsules, agglomerated groups of microcapsules, an agglonnerated group of microcapsules being defined as a group having more than 5 microcapsules grouped together.
  • the maximum viscosity of the Premix B is 50 mPas, more preferably 20 mPas, even more preferably 15 mPas.
  • agglomerated we mean that more than 5 microcapsules are grouped together. This is determined, for example, by taking a photomicrograph of the liquid and counting the number of groups of microcapsules present in the form of groups of 1 , 2 3 4 or 5 microcapsules and also counting the number of groups of
  • microcapsules present in the form of agglomerates of more than 5 microcapsules, which we define as being agglomerated microcapsules. If more than 10% of the groups are in the form of such agglomerated microcapsules then the
  • microcapsules are too agglomerated to be within the scope of this invention.
  • Premix B it may be necessary to reduce the viscosity of the raw material slurry concentrate of microcapsules. This can be done, for example, by dilution with water, if necessary.
  • the microcapsule slurry can be added to the main liquid by either in line injection or pouring into the vessel whilst mixing.
  • the mixture is then passed through an inline static mixer that applies enough energy to break the agglomerates whilst avoiding rupture of individual microcapsules and retention of the liquid structure.
  • the resulting structured liquid is highly effective at preventing further agglomeration of the microcapsules over time.
  • the external structurant is preferably hydrogenated castor oil (castor wax, or trihydroxystearin).
  • the external structurant may alternatively be another fibrous agent, such as microfibrous cellulose or any other type of external structurant.
  • the microcapsules comprise a solid shell. We have found that the agglomeration problem seems to be restricted to microcapsules carrying an anionic charge. Microcapsules with a cationic charge may be added into concentrated liquids without formation of agglomerates and therefore without the need for the process of the present invention. Of course it is still possible to pass a mixture comprising cationic microcapsules through an in-line static mixer to disperse the
  • microcapsules if desired.
  • the microcapsule has a melamine formaldehyde shell.
  • suitable shell material may be selected from (poly)urea, (poly)urethane, starch/ polysaccharide and aminoplasts.
  • the microcapsules may be perfume encapsulates. We have found that inclusion of microcapsules of smaller diameter makes the agglomeration problem worse.
  • the microcapsules have a diameter less than or equal to 40 micrometers. This upper size ensures that even if small cluster of up to 5 particles form they should remain substantially invisible. Most preferred are microcapsules with diameters.
  • Microcapsules in the range 2 to 5 microns cannot be dispersed so effectively using the process according to the invention due to the high surface area of the smaller particles.
  • microcapsules greater than 40 microns generally require no additional processing as the smaller total surface area is sufficient to prevent substantial agglomeration without need for the increased energy input from an in-line static mixer. Nevertheless, the process may be used for larger particles, if desired.
  • the process is most effective for microcapsules in the range 5 to 30 microns. Removal of microcapsules ranging from 0.1 to less than 1 micron improves the microcapsule dispersion. This is thought to be due to the reduction of high surface area material.
  • the structure is very effective at preventing any agglomeration, even in the presence of high levels of surfactant.
  • the process may be used to make externally structured concentrated liquid compositions comprising at least 30 wt% surfactant including anionic surfactant (any soap being included in the calculation and being an anionic surfactant) comprising 0.1 to 2.0 wt% microcapsules wherein the ratio microcapsules in groups of 5 or less to agglomerated microencapsulates (in groups of 5 or more) is more than 9:1 .

  • Castor oil also known as ricinus oil, is a vegetable oil obtained from the bean of the castor plant (Ricinus communis). Castor oil is a colourless to very pale yellow liquid with mild or no odour or taste. It is a triglyceride in which approximately ninety percent of fatty acid chains are ricinoleic acid (12-hydroxy-9-cis- octadecenoic acid). Oleic and linoleic acids are the other significant components.
