Definitions
- the present invention relates to the use of an ethoxylated aliphatic alcohol containing at least 25 ethylene oxide groups to improve dissolution and/or dispersion in the wash liquor of a particulate detergent composition.
- the invention is of especial applicability to particulate detergent compositions, containing no, or low levels of, phosphate builder and to compositions of high bulk density.
- Detergent powders typically comprise anionic and/or nonionic surfactants.
- Nonionic surfactants are particularly effective in removing hydrophobic soils such as hydrocarbon oils, complex fats and other long-chain unsaturated and saturated glycerides.
- the nonionic surfactant may form a viscous phase which may impede dissolution.
- Nonionic surfactants having a low degree of ethoxylation, generally employed because of their oily soil detergency, are especially problematic in this respect.
- the present invention provides the use set out in Claim 1.
- the granular detergent composition has a bulk density from 600 to 1100 kg/m 3 , preferably from 700 to 1100 kg/m 3 .
- Various postdosed ingredients such as sodium carbonate, bleach material and foam depressing agent, may be added to the composition as desired.
- the composition may be prepared by spray-drying optionally followed by mixing or by dry-mixing/agglomeration. For obtaining high bulk densities, the composition is preferably prepared by dry-mixing/agglomeration.
- the composition contains surfactant system, builder material and a dissolution aid. It is preferred that the dissolution aid is present in the composition of the invention as a separate granular component. Preferably the dissolution aid is substantially pure ethoxylated aliphatic alcohol containing at least 25 ethylene oxide groups.
- the dissolution aid contains at least 50 ethylene oxide groups, more preferably at least 80 ethylene oxide groups.
- the dissolution aid is suitably present at a level of from 0.01 to 1% by weight, preferably from 0.05 to 0.5% by weight based on the composition.
- the surfactant system present in the detergent composition suitably contains alkoxylated nonionic surfactants having an average degree of alkoxylation of at most 11.
- Suitable nonionic surfactants include condensation products of ethylene oxide with an aliphatic alcohol having from 8 to 15 carbon atoms and an average degree of ethoxylation from 2 to 10.
- a preferred surfactant system comprises a mixture of two C 8-15 nonionic surfactants having an average degree of ethoxylation respectively of 2 to 5, preferably 2.5 to 4 and 6.5 to 10, preferably 6.5 to 8 which, suitably, are present in a weight ratio of 1 to 25:5.
- the proportion of nonionic surfactant having a branched aliphatic alcohol is in the range from 10 to 60% by weight for example about 55% by weight based on the total amount of nonionic surfactant in the composition.
- Nonionic detergent-active compounds and the dissolution aid together are suitably present in the compositions in a total amount of from 2 to 50% by weight, preferably from 5 to 30% by weight.
- detergent-active materials may be present in the compositions. These additional detergent-active materials may be anionic (soap or non-soap), cationic, zwitterionic, amphoteric surfactants, or any combination of these surfactants.
- Anionic detergent-active compounds may be present in an amount of from 0 to 40% by weight, preferably from 0 to 20% by weight. It is preferred that the ratio of nonionic surfactant and dissolution aid to anionic surfactant is within the range of 1:2 to 9:1.

- the zeolite may be the commercially available zeolite 4A now widely used in laundry detergent powders.
- the zeolite builder incorporated in the composition is maximum aluminium zeolite P (zeolite MAP) as described and claimed in EP-A-384,070 (Unilever).
- Zeolite MAP is defined as an alkali metal aluminosilicate of the zeolite P type having a silicon to aluminium ratio not exceeding 1.33, preferably within the range of from 0.90 to 1.33, and more preferably within the range of from 0.90 to 1.20.

- One suitable method comprises spray-drying a slurry of compatible heat-insensitive ingredients, including the zeolite MAP, any other builders, and at least part of the detergent-active compounds; densifying the resulting base powder in a mixer/granulator; and then spraying on or post-dosing those ingredients unsuitable for processing via the slurry (for example bleaches and enzymes).
- compatible heat-insensitive ingredients including the zeolite MAP, any other builders, and at least part of the detergent-active compounds
- the spray-drying step can be omitted altogether, a high bulk density base powder being prepared directly from its constituent raw materials, by mixing and granulating in a high speed mixer/granulator, and then post-dosing bleach and other ingredients as in the spray-drying/post-tower densification route.
- the high-speed mixer/granulator also known as a high-speed mixer/densifier, may be a batch machine such as the Fukae (Trade Mark)FS, or a continuous machine such as the Lodige (Trade Mark) Recycler CB30. Processes using high-speed mixer/granulators are disclosed, for example, in EP-A-340,013, EP-A-367,339, EP-A-390,251 and EP-A-420,317 (Unilever).
- the dissolution aid may be included in the base powder but is preferably admixed with the finished base powder.
- Nonionic surfactants having a lower degree of alkoxylation, particularly those containing on average less than 11 ethylene oxide groups, may be included in the base powder, post added, or both.
- dissolution aid in detergent composition has been found to improve dissolution properties in a washing process in a washing machine. Additional benefits associated with use of the dissolution aid were found to be reduced redeposition characteristics during the washing cycle and improved bleeding behaviour upon storage.
- a particulate detergent composition having a bulk density of 830 kg/m 3 was prepared by spray-drying an aqueous slurry to form a base powder (including nonionic surfactants as specified), densifying the base powder in a continuous Lodige high-speed mixer/granulator, spraying-on further nonionic surfactants as specified, and then admixing the remaining ingredients.

- a particulate detergent composition was prepared in a very similar way and having almost the same formulation as in the above-mentioned Example A, the only difference being that in the present Examples the sprayed-on nonionic surfactant material fully consists of Synperionic A3 (containing 3 EO groups) ex ICI.
- Example Postdosed PEG 4000 Residue amount (parts) (wt%) A 0.000 34 B 0.50 33 C 0.25 35
