The compositions of the present invention can contain other conventional ingredients in toilet bowl cleaning compositions such as enzymes, surfactants, perfumes, dyes and other similar ingredients.

Description

;~1 L~3~3 LIQUID TOII-ET BOWL CI,EANER

Field of the Invention The present invention relates to concentrated liquid toilet bowl cleaning compositions.

Backqround of the Invention Compositions that automatically dispense cleaning agents and ad~uvants into toilet bowls have been commercially available for many years. Numerous attempts have been made to add antimicrobial agent~ to these compositions. However, delivery of efficacious amounts of antimicrobial and other cleaning agents has been difficult.
It would be desirable to provide a liquid toilet bowl cleaning composition that efficiently delivers an efficacious amount of active ingredient to the bowl.

Summarv of the Invention The present invention is directed to a concentrated liquid toilet bowl cleaning composition compri~ing an aguQou~ di~per~ion Or particles Or at lea~t one halogen donating compound wherein ~aid particle~ have a surface modifier adsorbed on the ~urface thereof in an amount sufficient to achieve a particle ~ize of less than about 400 nanometers (nm).
The compositions of the present invention can also contain other conventional ingredients in toilet bowl cleaning compositions such as surfactant6, dyes, cau~tic, antisoiling agent~, fragrances and other similar ingredients.

Detailed Description of the Invention ~ ~r.' ' The composition6 of the present invention comprise halogen donating compounds containing nanoparticles.

f~ 3 1~3 3 A stable 6uspension of a halogen donating compound in nanoparticle form can deliver a consi6tent controlled do6age of active ingredient~ over the life of the product. Conventional guspengion~ would ~eparate S over time and reduce the product efficacy.
In the compo6itions of the present invention oxidizing species roleased by the halogen donating compound would not be available to destructively interact with other formulation ingredients. This would allow the incorporation of ingredient6 which normally are not compatible in liquid halogen bleach 6y6tems.
For example, incorporation of a dye would be a valuable activity 6ignal for the con~umer.
Halogen donating compound6 containing nanoparticles delivered to the toilet tank would dissolve more rapidly due to their small size and relea6e 6ufficient quantities of halogen to ~anitize the toilet bowl, with each flu6h, over approximately a thirty day period. Delivery of efficacious amount6 of active to achieve sanitization has typically been an insurmountable hurdle for automatic toilet bowl cleaners due to the larqe volume of water than mugt be treated over time.
~he guantity of available active halogen 2S donating compound 6hould fall within the range of 35 to 70 weight percent in the toilet bowl cleaner for effective efficacy.
Useful halogen donating compounds include halohydantoins guch as 1,3-dichloro-5 5-dimethylhydantoin, 1,3-dichloro-5-ethyl-5-methylhydantoin and 1-bromo-3-3-chloro-5-5-dimethylhydantoin, calcium hypochlorite and ~imilar compounds. Commercially available compo6ition6 containing thege hydantoing include Dantochlor RW and 8273 Dantoin 8-2-5 available from L~NZA, Inc., Fair Lawn, NJ,.
The particles of this invention contain discrete phase of a halogen donating compound as described above having a 6urface modifier adsorbed on the 6urface thereof. Useful surface modifier6 are believed to include tho~e whlch physically adhere to the ~urface of the halogen donating compound but do not chemically bond to the halogen donating compound.
Suitable ~urface modifiers can preferably be ~elected from known organic ~nd inorganic excipients.
Such excipients include various polymers, low molecular weight oligomers, natural product6 and surfactants.
Preferred 6urface modifiers include nonionic and anionic ~urfactant6. Repre~entative examples of excipients include gelatin, casein, lecithin (pho~phatides), gum acacia, cholesterol, tragacanth, ~tearic acid, benzalkonium chloride, calcium ~tearate, glyceryl mono~tearate, cetostearl alcohol, cetomacrogol emul~ifying wax, ~orbitan e~ter~, polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, e.g., macrogol ether~ ~uch a~ cetomacrogol 1000, polyoxyethylene castor oil derivative6, polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters, e.g., the COD ercially available Tween~, polyethylene glycol6, polyoxyethylene ~tearates, colloidol ~ilicon dioxide, phosphates, sodium dodecyl~ulfate, carboxymethylcellulose calcium, ~`
carboxymethylcellulose 60dium, methylcellulose hydroxyethylcellulo~e, hydroxypropylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethycellulose phthalate, noncry6talline cellulose, magnesium aluminum ~ilicate, triethanolamine, polyvinyl ~lcohol, ~nd polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). Most of these excipients are described in detail in the Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients, published ~ointly by the American Pharmaceutical A~ociation and The Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain, the Pharmaceutical Press, 19~6, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. The surface modifiers are commercially available and/or can be prepared by techniguee known in the art.
The surface modifier i3 adsorbed on the surface of the halogen donating compound in an amount ~ufficient to maintain an effective average particle ~ize of less than about 400 nm. The surface modifier does not chemically react with the halogen donating compound or itself. Furthermore, the individually adsorbed molecules of the surface modifier are essentially free of intermolecular crosslinkages.
As used herein, particle size refers to a number average particle size as measured by conventional particle size measuring techniques well known to those ~killed in the art, such as sedimentation field flow fractionation, photon correlation 6pectroscopy, or disk centri$ugation. By "an effective average particle size of less than about 400 nm" it is meant that at least 90%
of the particles have a weight average particle size of les~ than about 400 nm when measured by the above-noted techniques. In preferred embodiments of the invention, the effective average particle size is less than about 250 nm. In some embodiments of the invention, an effective average particle size of less than about 100 nm has been achieved. With reference to the effective average particle size, it is preferred that at least 95%
and, more preferably, at least 99% of the particles have a particle size less than the effective average, e.g., 400 nm. In particularly preferred embodiments, essentially all of the particles have a size less than 400 nm. In some embodiments, essentially all of the particles have a size less than 250 nm.

~ f~

The particles of this invention can be prepared in a method comprising the steps of dispersing a halogen donating compound in a liquid dispersion medium and applying mechanical means in the presence of S grinding media to reduce the particle size of the halogen donating compound to an effective average particle size of less than about 400 nm. The particle6 can be reduced in size in the presence of a surface modifier. Alternatively, the particles can be contacted with a ~urface modifier after attrition.
These methods are described in detail in U.S.
Patent No. 5,145,684.
The relative amount of halogen donating compound and 6urface modifier can vary widely and the optimal amount of the surface modifier can depend, for example, upon the particular halogen donating compound and surface modifier selected, the critical micelle concentration of the ~urface modifier if it forms micelles, etc. The surface modifier preferably is present in an amount of about 0.1-10 mg per ~quare meter ~urface area of the halogen donating compound. The ~urface modlfier can be present in an amount of 0.1-99.995%, preferably 20-60% by weight based on the total weight of the formulation.
The nanoparticles of the present invention can be incorporated into conventional liquid toilet bowl cleaning compositions, as for example those di6closed in U.S. Patent No6. 3,897,357 and 3,970,596, the disclo6ure of which i~ incorporated herein. The~e compo6itions contain a wide variety of conventionally available anionic, nonionic, cationic and amphoteric ~urfactant6, sulfonate 6alt6, neutralizers, disinfectnnts, thickeners, anti60iling agents, fluore6cent whitening agent6, chelating agent6 and fragrances.
