Description
SPECIFICATION
Liquid detergent composition having good dispersion stability
Background of the Invention
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a liquid detergent composition containing a polishing agent or abrasive material. More specifically, it relates to a liquid detergent composition having good detergency (or) and scouring power with non skin roughness, and especially having an excellent dispersion stability for the scouring powder.
Description of the PriorArt
Conventional dishwashing detergent compositions heretofore used for washing vegetables and dishes are mainly based on the detergency of surfactants. These detergent compositions have excellent detergency when washing vegetables and for the removal of liquid oil and semi-solid oil from soiled dishes. However, these detergents have disadvantages in that the detergency thereof is relatively weak in washing charred or dried (or solidified) foods by cooking, solidified or semi-carbonized oil. For this reason, a particulate, powdered, or liquid type polishing cleanser is used as a co-detergent for washing dishes and cooking utensils having charred or dried foods adhered thereto.
Various liquid detergent compositions including water-insoluble solid scouring powder have been recently proposed. These liquid detergent compositions have both ordinary detergency for removing non-adherent soils and polishing power for removing adherent soils. However, these detergent compositions have disadvantages in that, when the content of the scouring powder is increased to improve the scouring power, the dishes and cooking utensils to be washed tend to be scratched and the scouring particles contained in the detergent tend to precipitate during storage. In the case where the liquid detergent is formulated so as to increase the stability of the scouring powder, foamability and detergency are inevitably decreased.Thus, there is a need in the art that a liquid detergent coating composition containing a scouring powder having excellent detergent characteristics such as a scouring power, detergency, and foamability and having a long-term dispersion stability is developed.
Summary ofthe Invention
Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages in the prior art and to provide a liquid detergent composition having an excellent foamability, detergency, scouring power, and rinsing ability and also having an excellent dispersion stability for a scouring powder and non skin roughness.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the description set forth hereinbelow.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a liquid detergent composition comprising:
(A) 5% to 40% by weight of an alkyl poly(oxyethylene) sulfate having the general formula: i-O + CH2CH20 )n SO3M (I) wherein R1 is a linear or branched alkyl group having 9 to 15 carbon atoms, n is an integer of 3 to 7, and M is an alkali metal, an ammonium residual group, or an alkanol substituted ammonium residual group;
(B) 5% by weight or less of a tertiary amine oxide having the general formula:
wherein R2 is a linear or branched alkyl group having 12 to 14 carbon atoms, and R3 and R4 are independently a methyl or ethyl group;
(C) 2% to 30% by weight of a water-insoluble scouring powder having an average particle diameter of 1 to 150 Am and a Mohs hardness of 2 to 8; and
(D) 0.1% to 10% by weight of clay containing, as a main constituent, a smectite, a double-chain structure type clay mineral or a combination thereof; and
said composition containing 2.5% to 8.5% by volume, based on the volume of the composition, of substantially water- insoluble gas in the form of gas bubbles having an average diameter of 0.1 to 0.7 mm and substantially having a diameter of 1.5 mm or less.
Description of the Preferred Embodiments
The alkyl poly(oxyethylene) sulfate usable as a component (A) in the present liquid detergent composition are those having the above-mentioned general formula (I). The carbon numbers of the linear or branched-chain alkyl group R1 in the general formula (I) must be 9 to 15, preferably 11 to 14. The carbon number of R1 of less than 9 results in a surfactant having weak detergency. Contrary this, the carbon number of R1 of more than 15 undesirably results in remarkable decrease in the rinsing ability and also results in poor dispersion stability of the scouring powder with the lapse of time. The ethylene oxide addition mole number n in the general formula (I) must be 3 to 7 on average.An addition mole number n of less than 3 decreases the detergency, whereas an addition mole number n of more than 7 decreases foamability property.
Examples of M in the general formula (i) are alkali metals such as potassium and sodium, an ammonium residual group, and alkanol substituted ammonium residual groups such as monoethanol substituted ammonium residual group and diethanol substituted ammonium residual.
The component (A) must be contained in the present liquid detergent composition in an amount of 5% to 40% by weight. The amount of the component (A) in the composition of less than 5% by weight results in a poor detergency. The amount of the component (A) in the composition of more than 40% by weight undesirably decreases the dispersion stability of the scouring powder in the composition. The preferable content of the component (A) in the composition is 10% to 25% by weight.
The tertiary amine oxides usable as a component (B) in the present liquid detergent composition are those having the above-mentioned general formula (II) (i.e., mono long-chain alkyl-di short-chain alkyl amine).
That is, the carbon numbers ofthe linear or branched-chain alkyl group R2 must be 12 to 14. Atoo small carbon number of R2 results in an unpreferable decrease in the detergency of the liquid detergent composition. A too large carbon number of R3 and R4 results in a poor dispersion stability of the liquid detergent composition. Rg and R4 in the above-mentioned general formula (II) are a methyl or ethyl group, and may be the same or different.
The tertiary amine oxides of the component (B) must be contained in an amount of 5% by weight or less, preferably 2% to 4% by weight, based on the total weight of the liquid detergent composition. The content of the component (B) in the liquid detergent composition of more than 5% by weight results in a remarkably poor dispersion stability of the liquid detergent composition. The component (B) has a function that the hand roughening action of the alkyl poly(oxyethylene) sulfate is suppressed. Typical examples of tertiary amine oxides having the general formula (II) are cocoyl dimethyl amine oxide lauryl dimethyl amine oxide, mylistyl dimethyl amine oxide, cocoyl dimethyl amine oxide.
The water-insoluble scouring powder usable as a component (C) in the present liquid detergent composition are those having a Mohs hardness of 2 to 8 and an average particle diameter of 1 to 150 Fm. A scouring powder having a Mohs hardness of less than 2 will not give the desirable scouring power to the liquid detergent composition. A scouring powder having a Mohs hardness of more than 8 tends to undesirably scratch dishes and other articles to be washed. An average particle diameter of the scouring powder of less than 1 lim results in a very poor scouring power although the dispersion stability of the liquid detergent composition is good.Contrary to this, the use of a too large average particle diameter of the scouring powder is undesirable because dishes and cooking utentils made of, for example, stainless steel, aluminum, and glass are liable to be scratched, the dispersion stability is impaired due to the ready precipitation of the scouring powder in the liquid detergent composition, and the roughening of hand skin is adversely affected.
Examples of the scouring powder are agate, calcite, quartz, silica, alumina, diatomaceous earth, perlite, feldspar, aluminosilicate, calcium phosphate, and calcium carbonate. These scouring powder can be used alone or in any mixtures thereof.
The scouring powder having a Mohs hardness of 2 to 8 and an average particle diameter of 1 to 1 50 > m must be contained as the component (C) in the present liquid detergent composition in an amount of 2% to 30% by weight, preferably 3% to 20% by weight. A content of the scouring powder of less than 2% by weight in the liquid detergent composition results in a poor detergency. Contrary to this, the content of the scouring
powder of more than 30% by weight results in a relative decrease in the detergency of the liquid detergent composition and also causes a decrease in the dispersion stability of the liquid detergent composition.
The clays usable as a component (D) in the present liquid detergent composition are those containing, as a main constituent, smectites, double-chain structure type clay minerals and the combination thereof.
Examples of such clay minerals are montmorillonite, nontronite, hectorite,vermiculite, attapulgite, sepiolite, and any mixtures thereof. The component (D) must be contained in the present liquid detergent composition
in an amount of 0.1% to 10% by weight, preferably 0.3% to 2% by weight. These clays have a thixotropic
property and, therefore, are desirable for stabilizing the liquid detergent composition with the lapse of time.
A content of clays in the liquid detergent composition of less than 0.1% by weight cannot sufficiently prevent the precipitation of the scouring powder in the liquid detergent composition during settling due to the
insufficient static viscosity. Contrary to this, a content of clays in the liquid detergent composition of more than 10% by weig ht results in a poor usability of the liquid detergent composition due to the fact that a desirable decrease in the viscosity during the use of the composition cannot be obtained.
According to the present invention, 2.5% to 8.5% by volume, preferably 5% to 7% by volume, based on the total volume of the liquid detergent composition, of substantially water-insoluble gas in the form of gas bubbles having an average diameter of 0.1 mm to 0.7 mm and substantially having a diameter of 1.5 mm or less must be included in the liquid detergent composition. Examples of the substantially water-insoluble gases are air and nitrogen. A content of gas in the liquid detergent composition of less than 2.5% by volume cannot improve the dispersion stability of the liquid detergent composition. Contrary to this, a content of gas in the liquid detergent composition of more than 8.5% by volume undesirably causes separation of a transparent layer in the bottom of the liquid detergent composition.Furthermore, when the average diameter of the gas bubble is not within the above-mentioned range, the improvement in the stability of the liquid detergent composition cannot be obtained. Contrary to this, when the diameter of the gas bubble is more than 1.5 mm, the stability of the liquid detergent composition decreases.
There is no critical concentration of the solid content in the present liquid detergent composition, so long as the above-mentioned requirements are fulfilled. However, the desirable solid content in the aqueous detergent composition of the present invention is 15% to 60% by weight.
In addition to the above-mentioned ingredients, various conventional additives can be optionally included in the present liquid detergent composition, as long as the stability and detergent characteristics of the liquid detergent composition are not impaired. Examples of such conventional additives are anionic sufactants such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, ammonium and alkanol amine salts of alpha-olefin sulfonic acids, alkylbenzene sulfonic acids, and paraffin sulfonic acids, solubilizing agents such as alcohols, foambooster such as higher fatty acid alkanol amides such as cocoyl diethanol amide and the alkylene oxide addition products thereof.
The present liquid detergent composition can be prepared by mixing the above-mentioned ingredients together in any conventional manner.
The liquid detergent composition according to the present invention has an excellent foamability, detergency, scouring power, and dispersion stability. Furthermore, the present liquid detergent composition does not scratch dishes and other articles to be washed and the usability of the present liquid detergent composition such as a decrease in the viscosity thereof during use is good.
Example
The present invention now will be further illustrated by, but is by no means limited to, the following
Examples, in which the following test methods and evaluation standards are used.
Preparation of Test Samples
Each component except for clay and water were charged into a 500 ml beaker. While the mixture was stirred at 500 rpm with a propeller type agitation blade, a given amount of a previously prepared 4.5% aqueous clay dispersion was added to the mixture. A given amount of gas was introduced into the liquid mixture by a syringe. Various samples having different gas bubble amounts and gas bubble diameters were prepared by changing the revolutions per minute and the stirring time.
Test Method and Evaluation Standards
(1 ) Dispersion stability with the lapse of time
A 200 ml amount of a liquid detergent composition was placed in a polyethylene terephthalate cylindrical container having a diameter of 45 mm and a height of 110 mm. The container was capped and sealed. The sample was frozen at a temperature of -10 C and was, then, melted at a temperature of 25"C. This cycle was repeated three times.
The separation condition of upper clear (or transparent) liquid layer was visually observed. The results were evaluated according to the following criteria:
o ... No substantial separation was observed or only a slight separation was observed.
x ... Remarkable separation was observed in the upper or lower portion.
(2) Determination of gas bubble diameter
A 0.33 ml amount of a liquid detergent composition was placed in a slide glass having a diameter of 22 mm and a depth of 1.6 mm with a hole. The slide glass was capped. The diameters and number of the gas bubbles present on the surface (380 mm2) are measured by means of an optical microscope.
