Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a peel-able formulation for waterless cleaning.
  • Various formulations may have been developed for cleaning a surface by forming a polymer film for removing unwanted substances, including dirt, stains and any contaminants.
  • the formulations may be formed by dissolving a polymer in a solvent to produce a polymer solution, wherein the solvent tends to be used only for solubilizing the polymer and provides no other functions.
  • the formulation i.e. polymer solution
  • the solvent may be deposited on the unwanted substances.
  • the solvent dries off from the polymer solution, the polymer film gets formed. The unwanted substances may then be removed along with the polymer film that is peeled off from the surface.
  • the film may be properly peeled off only after the film is completely dried. This renders the cleaning process time consuming. If peeling is attempted when the film is not completely dried, parts of the film may not get peeled off and remain stuck on the surface. The cleaning process becomes more laboriously difficult and time consuming, as residual portions of the film need time to dry and each of the residual portions may have to be individually peeled off. Said differently, the film has to be inconveniently peeled off bit by bit instead of being peeled as one intact piece.
  • polyvinyl alcohol was used as the polymer for forming the film.
  • the solvent for dissolving PVA was water.
  • a plasticizer compatible with the solvent was added.
  • the choice of solvent may be limited to an aqueous solvent, such as water, in order for PVA and the plasticizer to be compatibly used.
  • the film had to be completely dried before it may be properly peeled off as one intact piece, and in this instance, the drying may have been more time consuming as the water solvent required longer to dry.
  • a water solvent that takes longer to dry off also means that film formation is slower, which requires a longer waiting time before cleaning may start.
  • the formulation included a polymeric film former, a plasticizer for imparting peelability to the film, a cleaning active agent and a liquid medium to contain such components.
  • the formulation specifically relies on the cleaning active agent for cleaning the soiled cookwares and tableware, wherein the cleaning active agent is a mixture that include, for example, an organic solvent to penetrate/swell the soil for easier removal, a bleaching agent and/or an enzyme that reacts with the soil for easier removal.
  • a peel-able formulation for waterless cleaning includes: a volatile medium including a crosslinkable polymer dissolved therein; a polysiloxane; and a surfactant, wherein the peel-able formulation is applicable on a surface to have the crosslinkable polymer formed a film thereon as the volatile medium evaporates at a reducing rate from the crosslinkable polymer, wherein the surfactant stabilizes the polysiloxane as emulsion droplets in the volatile medium before the volatile medium evaporates from the crosslinkable polymer, wherein the film is already peel-able from the surface when the film is partially dried, and wherein peeling off the film removes undesirable substances from the surface.
  • FIG. 1A shows a surface of a metallic sheet containing stains and dirt particles.
  • the metallic surface was also vandalized with drawings using a permanent ink marker.
  • FIG. IB shows the application of a formulation of the present disclosure on the metallic sheet.
  • the formulation is deposited on the stains, dirt and vandalized drawings by simply using a dropper. This demonstrates that an excessive amount of the present formulation need not be used for cleaning.
  • FIG. 1C demonstrates the spreadability of the formulation.
  • the formulation was spread using a plastic ruler over the stains, dirt, and vandalized drawings. Apart from a ruler, other accessories such as a doctor blade can be used.
  • FIG. ID shows drying of the formulation by evaporation of the volatile medium to have a film formed on the surface. As the film forms, the dirt particles can be trapped in the film or adhered to the film.
  • FIG. IE shows peeling of the film when the film is partially dried.
  • FIG. IF shows removal of the stains, dirt and vandalized drawings along with peeling of the film. The unwanted substances are removed along with the film from the surface. The film is also peeled off intact, i.e. as a single piece without fracturing.
  • FIG. 1G shows a stage of the cleaning process where the film is substantially or almost completely peeled off, leaving behind a cleaned surface.
  • FIG. 1H shows the film that has been peeled off from the surface, trapping the dirt particles and stains therein.
  • the film can be stretched and contorted without breaking, demonstrating the flexibility and elasticity that renders the film easily peel- able.
  • the present disclosure relates to a formulation for cleaning a surface.
  • the formulation herein may be referred to as a “peel- able formulation” as the formulation can be applied on a stained, dirtied and/or vandalized surface to form a film that can be peeled off and at the same time removes the stains and dirt, including those from the vandalism (i.e. cleaning the surface).
  • cleaning the surface can be achieved by forming and peeling the film in the absence of using water to rinse off the film, stains and dirt, this may be termed herein “waterless cleaning”.
  • the present formulation may be referred to herein as a peel-able formulation for waterless cleaning.
  • the present formulation may include a volatile medium having a polymer dissolved therein.
  • the volatile medium may be a solvent for dissolving the polymer.
  • the volatile medium dries off, the polymer forms a film.
  • the film may already be peeled off from the surface, for example, as one piece without fracturing. This advantageously decreases the amount of time for the film to be peeled for cleaning the surface.
  • the film peel-able as a single intact piece, also circumvents the laborious efforts of removing a brittle film, which in turn improves cleaning productivity, as a brittle film formed using existing formulations tends to fracture into multiple pieces easily.

  • the polymer may crosslink to form a polymer network.
  • the film may be a network of crosslinked polymer chains. Crosslinking of the polymer during formation of the film may help to trap stains, dirt and undesirable particles from a surface. With the crosslinkages formed, the stains, dirt and undesirable particles are locked in the film.
  • crosslinkable polymer herein refers to a polymer used in present formulation for forming the film.
  • the crosslinkable polymer in the peel-able formulation may be present in an amount ranging from 0.1 wt% to 30 wt%, 0.5 wt% to 30 wt%, 1 wt% to 30 wt%, 5 wt% to 30 wt%, 10 wt% to 30 wt%, 20 wt% to 30 wt%, 0.5 wt% to 30 wt%, 5 wt% to 10 wt%, 5 wt% to 20 wt%, 10 wt% to 20 wt%, etc.

This may help the peel-able film to form in a significantly shorter time (e.g. 15 minutes or less, 10 minutes or less, 5 minutes or less, etc.) even as the polymer crosslinks to form the film.
  • the crosslinkable polymer forms crosslinkages to have the film formed, it reduces the drying rate (e.g. evaporation rate) of the volatile medium from the crosslinkable polymer.
  • rate of formation of the film is not compromised.
  • the volatile medium may be partially or even completely dried in a shorter amount of time, rendering the film promptly formed even when the volatile medium dries or evaporates at a reducing rate from the crosslinkable polymer.
  • the polysiloxane is able to expel the volatile medium as the polysiloxane may be incompatible with the volatile medium, which renders the volatile medium to be forced out of the drying film as more polysiloxane is able to be released from the stabilized droplets with the decreasing presence of volatile medium.
  • the polysiloxane such as polydimethylsiloxane, tends to migrate to (i) the interface between the film and the air, and/or (ii) the interface between the film and the surface to be cleaned.

  • the present peel-able formulation involves a film-forming polymer, for cleaning.
  • Second, formation of the film encapsulates the dissolved stains, dislodged dirt and bacteria, tightly, which are removed together with the peeled film.

  • the polysiloxane tends to migrate to (i) the interface between the film and the air, and/or (ii) the interface between the film and the surface to be cleaned.

  • the presence of starch particles in the formulation also creates tiny air pockets between the film formed and surface to be cleaned, further making the film much easier to peel.
