Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to detergent compositions, preferably liquid detergents, containing an anionic synthetic surfactant, a cosurfactant selected from the group consisting of certain quaternary ammonium, diquaternary ammonium, amine, diamine, amine oxide and di(amine oxide) surfactants, and a fatty acid. The compositions herein have a molar ratio of the anionic synthetic surfactant to the cosurfactant of at least 1 and are formulated to provide an initial pH of from about 6.0 to about 8.5 at a concentration of from about 0.1% to about 2% by weight in water at 20°C. The compositions provide both superior greasy oily soil removal and good builder/pH sensitive soil removal at the near-neutral wash pH.
- U.S. Patent 4,285,841, Barrat et al, issued August 25, 1981, discloses liquid detergents containing anionic surfactants, nonionic surfactants and from about 8% to about 20% by weight of a fatty acid. The compositions have a pH of from about 6.0 to 7.5.
- U.S. Patent 4,287,082, Tolfo et al, issued September 1, 1981, discloses liquid detergents containing saturated fatty acids, enzymes, enzyme-accessible calcium and selected short-chain carboxylic acids.
- U.S. Patent 4,321,165, Smith et al, issued March 23, 1982, discloses built detergents containing anionic, nonionic and cationic surfactants. The compositions provide a solution pH of at least about 6, and preferably greater than about 8.
- The present invention encompasses detergent compositions comprising:
- (a) from about 2% to about 60% by weight of an anionic synthetic surfactant;
- (b) from about 0.25% to about 12% by weight of a cosurfactant selected from the group consisting of:
- (i) quaternary ammonium surfactants having the formula:
- (ii) diquaternary ammonium surfactants having the formula:
- (iii) amine surfactants having the formula:
- (iv) diamine surfactants having the formula:
- (v) amine oxide surfactants having the formula:
- (vi) di(amine oxide) surfactants having the formula:
- (i) quaternary ammonium surfactants having the formula:
- (c) from about 5% to about 40% by weight of a fatty acid containing from about 10 to about 22 carbon atoms; said composition having a molar ratio of the anionic synthetic surfactant to the cosurfactant of at least 1 and formulated to provide an initial pH of from about 6.0 to about 8.5 at a concentration of from about 0.1% to about 2% by weight in water at 20°C.
- The detergent compositions herein contain an anionic synthetic surfactant, a cosurfactant selected from certain quaternary ammonium, diquaternary ammonium, amine, diamine, amine oxide and di(amine oxide) surfactants, and a fatty acid material. The compositons can be in any form, including granules, liquids, tablets or pastes. However, liquid compositions are highly preferred since the compositions herein are especially effective when applied directly to soils and stains in a pretreatment step. The compositions herein must have a molar ratio of the anionic synthetic surfactant to the cosurfactant of at least one, preferably from about 2:1 to about 20:1, and are formulated to provide an initial pH of from about 6.0 to about 8.5 at a concentration of from about 0.1% to about 2% by weight in water at 20°C. It has been found that the addition of the cosurfactant to the fatty acid containing detergents herein provides important greasy/oily soil removal benefits only at the near-neutral wash pH. The wash pH is preferably from about 7.0 to about 8.5, more preferably from about 7.5 to about 8.0.
- While not intending to be limited by theory, it is believed that the cosurfactant and anionic surfactant herein form complexes which enhance packing of the surfactants at the oil/water interface, thereby lowering interfacial tension and improving detergency. (The amine, diamine, amine oxide and di(amine oxide) surfactants would be at least partially protonated at the near-neutral pH and thus can form charges species capable of complexing with the anionic surfactant.) At the defined pH range recited herein, the fatty acid component exists in a chemical form which is optimal for effective detergency. At too low a pH, the non-dissociated form of the acid is ineffective. It is also believed that the higher pH's (i.e., above about 8.5) affect the interaction of the fatty acid with the cosurfactant and water hardness and result in the formation of undesirable species at the oil/water interface which reduce detergency performance.
- The detergent compositions herein contain from about 2% to about 60% by weight of an anionic synthetic surfactant, or mixtures thereof. The anionic surfactant preferably represents from about 5% to about 40%, and more preferably from about 10% to about 20%, by weight of the detergent composition. Anionic surfactants useful herein are disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,285,841, Barrat et al, issued August 25, 1981, and in U.S. Patent 3,919,678, Laughlin et al, issued December 30, 1975, both incorporated herein by reference.
- Useful anionic surfactants include the water-soluble salts, particularly the alkali metal, ammonium and alkylolammonium (e.g., monoethanolammonium or triethanolammonium) salts, of organic sulfuric reaction products having in their molecular structure an alkyl group containing from about 10 to about 20 carbon atoms and a sulfonic acid or sulfuric acid ester group. (Included in the term "alkyl" is the alkyl portion of aryl groups.) Examples of this group of synthetic surfactants are the alkyl sulfates, especially those obtained by sulfating the higher alcohols (C8-C18 carbon atoms) such as those produced by reducing the glycerides of tallow or coconut oil; and the alkylbenzene sulfonates in which the alkyl group contains from about 9 to about 15 carbon atoms, in straight chain or branched chain configuration, e.g., those of the type described in United States Patents 2,220,099 and 2,477,383. Especially valuable are linear straight chain alkylbenzene sulfonates in which the average number of carbon atoms in the alkyl group is from about I to 14.
- Other anionic surfactants herein are the water-soluble salts of: paraffin sulfonates containing from about 8 to about 24 (preferably about 12 to 18) carbon atoms; alkyl glyceryl ether sulfonates, especially those ethers of C8-18 alcohols (e.g., those derived from tallow and coconut oil); alkyl phenol ethylene oxide ether sulfates containing from about 1 to about 4 units of ethylene oxide per molecule and from about 8 to about 12 carbon atoms in the alkyl group; and alkyl ethylene oxide ether sulfates containing about I to about 4 units of ethylene oxide per molecule and from about 10 to about 20 carbon atoms in the alkyl group.
- Other useful anionic surfactants herein include the water-soluble salts of esters of a-sulfonated fatty acids containing from about 6 to 20 carbon atoms in the fatty acid group and from about 1 to 10 carbon atoms in the ester group; water-soluble salts of 2-acyloxy-alkane-1-sulfonic acids containing from about 2 to 9 carbon atoms in the acyl group and from about 9 to about 23 carbon atoms in the alkane moiety; water-soluble salts of olefin sulfonates containing from about 12 to 24 carbon atoms; and β-alkyloxy alkane sulfonates containing from about I to 3 carbon atoms in the alkyl group and from about 8 to 20 carbon atoms in the alkane moiety.
- Particularly preferred anionic surfactants herein are the alkyl sulfates of the formula
- Mixtures of the alkyl sulfates with the above-described alkylbenzene sulfonates, paraffin sulfonates, alkyl glyceryl ether sulfonates and esters of a a-sulfonated fatty acids, particularly with the C11-13 linear alkylbenzene sulfonates, are also preferred.
- The compositions herein also contain from about 0.25% to about 12%, preferably from about 0.5% to about 8%, more preferably from about 1% to about 4%, by weight of a cosurfactant selected from the group of certain quaternary ammonium, diquaternary ammonium, amine, diamine, amine oxide and di(amine oxide) surfactants. The quaternary ammonium surfactants are particularly preferred.
- The quaternary ammonium surfactants herein are of the formula:
- Preferred of the above are the alkyl quaternary ammonium surfactants, especially the mono-long chain alkyl surfactants described in the above formula when R is selected from the same groups as R4. The most preferred quaternary ammonium surfactants are the chloride, bromide and methylsulfate C8-16 alkyl trimethylammonium salts, C8-16 alkyl di(hydroxyethyl)methylammonium salts, the C8-16 alkyl hydroxyethyldimethylammonium salts, and C8-16 alkyloxypropyl trimethylammonium salts. Of the above, decyl trimethylammonium methylsulfate, lauryl trimethylammonium chloride, myristyl trimethylammonium bromide and coconut trimethylammonium chloride and methylsulfate are particularly preferred.
- Under cold water washing conditions, i.e., less than about 65°F. (18.3°C), the C8-10 alkyltrimethyl ammonium surfactants are particularly preferred since they have a lower Kraft boundry and, therefore, a lower crystallization temperature than the longer alkyl chain quaternary ammonium surfactants herein.
- Diquaternary ammonium surfactants herein are of the formula:
-
-
-
-
- The compositions of the present invention contain from about 5% to about 40%, preferably from about 7% to about 30%, most preferably from about 10% to about 20%, by weight of a fatty acid containing from about 10 to about 22 carbon atoms. The fatty acid can also contain from about 1 to about 10 ethylene oxide units in the hydrocarbon chain.
- Suitable fatty acids are saturated and/or unsaturated and can be obtained from natural sources such as plant or animal esters (e.g., palm kernel oil, palm oil, coconut oil, babassu oil, safflower oil, tall oil, castor oil, tallow and fish oils, grease, and mixtures thereof) or synthetically prepared (e.g., via the oxidation of petroleum or by hydrogenation of carbon monooxide via the Fisher-Tropsch process). Examples of suitable saturated fatty acids for use in the compositions of this invention include capric, lauric, myristic, palmitic, stearic, arachidic and behenic acid. Suitable unsaturated fatty acid species include: palmitoleic, oleic, linoleic, linolenic and ricinoleic acid. Examples of preferred fatty acids are saturated C10-C14 (coconut) fatty acids, from about 5:1 to 1:1 (preferably about 3:1) weight ratio mixtures of lauric and myristic acid, and mixtures of the above lauriclmyristic blends with oleic acid at a weight ratio of about 4:1 to 1:4 mixed lauric/myristic : oleic.
- The compositions of the present invention also preferably contain up to about 30%, preferably from about 1% to about 20%, more preferably from about 5% to about 15%, by weight of an ethoxylated nonionic surfactant. These materials are described in U.S. Patent 4,285,841, Barrat et al, issued August 25, 1981, incorporated herein by reference. Preferred are the ethoxylated alcohols and ethoxylated alkyl phenols of the formula R(OC2H4)nOH, wherein R is selected from the group consisting of aliphatic hydrocarbon radicals containing from about 8 to about 15 carbon atoms and alkyl phenyl radicals in which the alkyl groups contain from about 8 to about 12 carbon atoms, n is from about 3 to about 9, and said nonionic surfactant has an HLB (hydrophile-lipophile balance) value of from about 10 to about 13. These surfactants are more fully described in U.S. Patent 4,284,532, Leikhim et al, issued August 18, 1981, incorporated herein by reference. Particularly preferred are ethoxylated alcohols having an average of from about 10 to about 15 carbon atoms in the alcohol and an average degree of ethoxylation of from about 3 to about 8 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of alcohol.
- The compositions herein also preferably contain up to about 40%, more preferably from about 1% to about 30%, by weight of a detergent builder material. While all manner of detergent builders known in the art can be used in the present compositions, the type and level of builder must be selected such that the final composition has an initial pH of from about 6.0 to about 8.5 at a concentration of from about 0.1% to about 1% by weight in water at 20°C. Detergent builders are described in U.S. Patent 4,321,165, Smith et al, issued March 23, 1982, incorporated herein by reference. In the preferred liquid detergent compositions herein, the builder preferably represents from about 1% to about 20%, more preferably from about 3% to about 10%, by weight of the composition. Preferred builders for use in liquid detergents herein are described in U.S. Patent 4,284,532, Leikhim et al, issued August 18, 1981, incorporated herein by reference. A particularly preferred builder is citric acid.
- Other preferred components for use in liquid detergents herein are the neutralizing agents, buffering agents, phase regulants, hydrotropes, enzymes, enzyme stabilizing agents, polyacids, suds regulants, opacifiers, antioxidants, bactericides, dyes, perfumes, and brighteners described in the U.S. Patent 4,285,841, Barrat et al, issued August 25, 1981, incorporated herein by reference. Preferred neutralizing agents for use herein are organic bases, especially triethanolamine and monoethanolamine, which result in better detergency performance than inorganic bases such as sodium and potassium hydroxides. Particularly preferred compositions herein contain from about 0.1% to about 2% by weight of detersive enzymes, especially the amylases, proteases, and mixtures thereof, of the type well known to detergent formulators.
- The following non-limiting examples illustrate the compositions of the present invention. All percentages, parts and ratios used herein are by weight unless otherwise specified.
- Four sets of 7.6 cm square polycotton (P/C) or cotton (C) swatches stained with standard soils were washed in an automatic mini-washer using 2000 ppm of either Composition A, a commercially available heavy-duty liquid detergent; Composition B containing, by weight, 6.2% sodium C13 linear alkylbenzene sulfonate, 9.4% sodium C14-15 alkyl sulfate, 10.0% C12-13 alcohol polyethoxylate (6.5), 10.0% coconut fatty acid, 5.0% oleic fatty acid, 15.0% citric acid, 0.3% diethylenetriame pentamethylene phosphonic acid, 0.23% brightener, 1.0% protease enzyme, enough monoethanolamine to achieve the desired pH and the balance, to 100% water; Composition C, which was B plus 2.7% by weight of C12 alkyl trimethylammonium chloride; or Composition D, which was B plus 2.7% by weight of C12-16 alkyl dimethyl amine oxide. The wash pH was about 7.3 for Composition A and about 7.4 for B, C and D. The wash water temperature was 95°F (35°C) and the water hardness was 5 grains/gallon (3:1 Ca++:Mg++). The swatches were then dried and each set was round robin comparison graded against its counterparts to determine relative soil removal provided by the detergent compositions. A grading scale of -4 to 4 was used, with -4 indicating much less soil removal, 0 indicating no difference and 4 indicating much more soil removal. The results for each composition were then averaged and Composition A was assigned a relative value of 0.
- A similar comparision was made except that the wash pH for Compositions B, C and D was about 9.5.
-
- The above results demonstrate that Compositions C and D of the present invention containing quaternary ammonium and amine oxide cosurfactants, respectively, provide important advantages on greasy/oil soils and also on grass and clay (on PC) relative to Composition B at wash pH's of 7.4. However, these advantages are substantially eliminated at wash pH's of 9.5.
- As demonstrated above, the present invention also encompasses a method for laundering fabrics comprising contacting said fabrics with an aqueous solution having a pH of from about 6.0 to about 8.5 at 20°C. and containing at least about 0.1% by weight of the compositions herein.
-
- Composition A was prepared by adding the components, with continuous mixing, in the following order: alcohol polyethoxylate; monoethanolamine; premix of coconutalkyl sulfuric acid paste (containing propanediol, triethanolamine, coconutalkyl sulfuric acid, water and minors) and monoethanolamine-neutralized alkylbenzene sulfonic acid; premix of toluene sulfonate and water; citric acid; alkyl trimethylammonium chloride; premix of fatty acids; phosphonic acid; acetic acid; premix of dye, brightener, formate, ethanol and water; adjust pH to about 8.1 with monoethanolamine or water; protease enzyme; amylase enzyme; and perfume. The product obtained was a clear liquid. It exhibited better detergency performance than a similar product obtained by adding the fatty acids prior to adding the alkyltrimethylammonium chloride. The product also exhibited better detergency performance, phase stability and a less objectionable base odor than a similar product obtained by adding the monoethanolamine after the premix of the coconut alkyl sulfuric acid paste and the neutralized alkylbenzene sulfonic acid.
- Composition B was obtained by mixing the components.
- Other compositions of the present invention are obtained when the alkyl trimethylammonium halides in the above compositions are replaced with coconutalkyl trimethylammonium chloride, decyl trimethylammonium methylsulfate, lauryl di(hydroxyethyl) methylammonium chloride, decyloxypropyl trimethylammonium chloride, lauryl pentamethylethylenediammonium chloride, lauryl diethanolamine, coconutalkyl trimethylethylene diamine, C12-16 alkyl dimethyl amine oxide, or with coconutalkyl trimethylethylene di(amine oxide).
- Other compositions herein are obtained when, in the above compositions, the C13 linear alkylbenzene sulfonic acid is replaced with coconutalkyl sulfuric acid or C14-15 alkyl sulfuric acid, and when the coconutalkyl sulfuric acid is replaced with C14-15 alkyl ethoxy (1 avg.) sulfuric acid.
- Compositions of the present invention are also obtained when the lauric/myristic/oleic fatty acid mixture in the above compositions is replaced with coconut fatty acid or a 3:1 weight ratio mixture of lauric and myristic acid.
- Granular detergents of the present invention can be obtained by spray-drying the above compositions and admixing heat-sensitive materials such as the enzymes.
