Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an exothermic foaming detergent composition. More specifically, the present invention relates to a cleaning composition for bathtubs and drainage pipes, which simultaneously induces an exothermic action and a foaming action, and utilizes a strong expansion phenomenon associated therewith.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional cleaning agents are classified according to the type of dirt.
In addition, depending on the type of object to be washed, water / solvent with excellent solubility and dispersibility is used as a base, and a surfactant with surface activity, acids / alkalis / oxidants with chemical reactivity /
Reducing agent, adsorbent / abrasive having adsorption power / polishing power
It has been developed and commercialized for various purposes using enzymes that have biological degrading power.

[0003]

However, in any of these cleaning agents, in any case, rubbing (rubbing), rubbing (rubbing), wiping (wiping), or washing with a tool is performed. It requires physical force such as by machine, and ultimately depends on human power. Furthermore, in reality, the temperature is added to increase the cleaning effect, and the treatment takes a long time.

By the way, bathtubs, drain pipes and the like are among those requiring cleaning. Bathtubs are used every day, and in Japan and the like where cleanliness is preferred, particularly effective cleaning is desired. However, cleaning the bathtub requires a great deal of labor and is one of the most burdensome tasks in domestic work. Further, if the drainage pipe is clogged, it will cause a great hindrance to daily life, but since it is a place out of reach of people, it is not uncommon for its treatment to be difficult. Therefore, there has been a long-felt demand for the development of a cleaning agent that does not require human power to wash such places and objects and that exhibits effective cleaning power.

In order to meet such demands, many bath bath cleaners have been developed. For example, Japanese Examined Patent Publication (Kokoku) No. 3-52791 by a combination of an acid and a percarbonate, and JP-A-58-58 by a combination of a gas generating agent and a cleaning agent.
196297, JP-A-58-196298, JP-A-56-163199, and the like.
Further, as a cleaning agent for drainage pipes, Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-26440, which is a combination of an alkali and an inorganic peroxide, and Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-61078, which is a combination of an inorganic peroxide and a surfactant, is disclosed. 61-166899
JP-A-61-258900, Japanese Patent Publication No. 2-291 based on a combination of an inorganic peroxide and hypochlorite.
No. 18, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 56-78695 using a combination of percarbonate and sulfite, Japanese Patent Publication No. 58-3000 containing aluminum powder as a main component, Japanese Patent Publication No. 62-2.
No. 4040, and Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 1-51520 in which a solid caustic and a solid hydrogen peroxide adduct are combined. Of these detergents, the usual detergents are not effective for cleaning bathtubs and drainage pipes, so they generate heat during use (for example, those containing the above-mentioned aluminum powder as the main component) or gas. Although various devices such as those (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 58-196297) have been elaborated, they have not yet achieved a sufficient cleaning effect.

[0006]

As a result of intensive studies, the inventors of the present invention conducted heat generation and foaming action at the same time, heating the soiled portion and peeling off the contaminants by the pressure of the bubbles during expansion. By doing so, we succeeded in developing a bath kettle / drainage pipe cleaning agent composition that can effectively wash bath kettles and drain pipes without using physical forces such as rubbing, rubbing, and wiping. The invention was completed.

[0007] That is, the gist of the present invention relates to sodium percarbonate, adipate hydrazide, surfactants and 1 dosage forms bathtub and drain pipe cleaner composition for the exothermic foaming type consisting of a reaction initiator.

The bath cleaner / drainage pipe cleaning composition of the present invention will be described below. INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention eliminates physical force such as rubbing, rubbing, wiping, etc. on a dirty portion by the reaction heat generated by the reaction of powdered hydrazide and sodium percarbonate and the generated gas, and by utilizing the expansive force accompanied therewith. It is an object of the present invention to provide a detergent composition capable of enhancing the cleaning effect.

[0009] In the bath bath / drain pipe cleaning composition of the present invention
The hydrazide contained in is adipic acid dihydra
ZidoIs used.

[0010] The concentration of adipic acid di-hydrazine soil, 1.0
Is 45% by weight, preferably 2 to 45% by weight. When adipate hydrazide amount is small, the reaction force is not increased foaming effect for now generated gas is reduced low and if too large, the solubility of the formulation, or have trouble in storage stability, the home It is also dangerous in handling
Not preferable.

The concentration of sodium percarbonate contained in the bath kettle / drainage pipe cleaning composition of the present invention is usually 50-9.
It is 4% by weight, preferably 70 to 94% by weight.
If the concentration of sodium percarbonate is less than this range, the amount of effective oxygen will be low, and the reaction will be weakened, and the foaming effect will not be exhibited. It is also dangerous in handling and is not preferable.

The bath kettle / drainage pipe cleaning composition of the present invention preferably requires a surfactant. As the surfactant used in the present invention, nonionic, anionic,
It can be used regardless of cationic type. Amphoteric surfactants can also be used. For example, polyoxyethylene lauryl ether, polyoxyethylene alkyl ether,
Sodium polyoxyethylene lauryl ether sulfate,
Polyoxyethylene alkylphenyl ether alkanolamide, polyoxyethylene nonylphenyl ether, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, higher alkyl sulfate ester salt, sodium alkyldi (aminoethyl) glycine, lauryltrimethylammonium chloride, 2-alkyl-N-carboxymethyl chloride -N-hydroxyethyl imidazolinium betaine etc. are mentioned.
The role of the surfactant in the present invention is mainly the swelling effect associated with foaming, and in addition to this, it is considered to contribute to the cleaning effect such as removal of stains on the object, and the like. All surfactants can be used.

The concentration of the surfactant used in the bath kettle / drainage pipe cleaning composition of the present invention is 0.3 to 20% by weight, preferably 0.5 to 15% by weight. It is a feature of the present invention that the concentration of the surfactant used in the present invention is higher than the concentration usually used as a detergent. This is directly related to the fact that the cleaning composition of the present invention is characterized by enhancing the cleaning effect by utilizing intense heat generation and foaming during use. That is, in order for the foam generated by mixing the detergent composition of the present invention with water to exert a strong pressure on the object, the foam generated must be stabilized, and for that purpose, the surfactant having a certain concentration or more is used. This is because the presence of agents is essential.

A copper-containing ion sequestering agent is preferably used as a reaction initiator in the bath kettle / drainage pipe cleaning composition of the present invention. Specifically, for example, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid copper, hydroxyethylenediaminetetraacetic acid copper,
Alkali metal salts such as copper diethyltriaminepentaacetate, copper triethylenetetraaminehexaacetate, and copper nitrilotriacetate are used. As the alkali metal, potassium, sodium and the like are preferable.

The concentration of the reaction initiator in the bath kettle / drainage pipe cleaning composition of the present invention is usually 0.1 to 6% by weight, preferably 0.2 to 3% by weight. This is because if it is less than this range, a sufficient heat-generating / foaming effect cannot be obtained, and even if it is used beyond this range, the corresponding increase in effect cannot be obtained.

The bathtub and drain pipe for the detergent composition of the present invention, as described above, adipate hydrazide, sodium percarbonate, but contains a surfactant and initiator,
More preferably, in addition to these, sodium carbonate, a bulking agent such as Glauber's salt, an imidosulfate, an amino acid, a chelating agent such as a polybasic carboxylic acid, a stabilizer, a thickener, a bactericide, a deodorant, and a coloring agent. Agents, fragrances, alkaline agents, other cleaning aids and the like may be added in powder form. The object of the cleaning composition of the present invention is a bathtub, a drainage pipe, etc., and depending on the size and complexity of the use scene, a stronger heat generating action, a foaming action, and a foaming rate associated therewith are required. Therefore, it is possible to increase the power by adding a metal salt such as a cobalt salt of sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, carbonic acid, a copper salt or a metal sequestering agent of cobalt as an auxiliary agent of the reaction initiator. Further, the amount of the reaction initiator used can be reduced by blending these auxiliary agents. At this time, the amount of the auxiliary agent used is 1/5 to 5 times the amount of the reaction initiator. Further, in use, the bath kettle / drainage pipe cleaning composition of the present invention,
Heat and foaming occur in the presence of water. Therefore, it is necessary to supply water according to the usage situation, but there is no particular limitation on the usage method.

[0017]

EXAMPLES Since the cleaning effect of the bath kettle / drainage pipe cleaning composition of the present invention is based on the exothermic effect and the foaming effect, first, the adipic acid diester in the cleaning composition exerts the exothermic effect and the foaming effect. hydrazide de shows sodium percarbonate, an experimental example of the effect of the surfactant or initiator below.

It is different in that it is blended with the agent, and disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate copper disodium, which is a reaction initiator, is blended with the agent B. However, in the usage ratios of this experimental example, the usage amounts of all the components are almost the same in the three cases at the time of use, that is, when the agent A and the agent B are mixed.

As is clear from Table 4, all of the compositions 1 to 3 exhibit excellent effects without any difference as long as the liquid temperature and the foaming amount are compared. Also, the foaming rate was almost the same among the three. This fact, the cleaning compositions of the present invention is substantially as long as its components as a dosage form, changing the proportion of or A agent and the B agent, substantially identical in ingredient content when using the same It shows that the effect of can be expected.

Test Example 1 Preparation of Samples: Formulations (Nos. 1 to 7) having different foaming amounts, foaming rates, etc. were prepared for the purpose of use in the detergency test. That is, using a 500 ml graduated cylinder, 5 g of each sample shown in Table 7 was added, 20 ml of water was added, and the liquid temperature at this time was
The foaming amount and the foaming speed were measured. Detergency test: U-shaped tubular glass (internal volume 100 ml) with an inner diameter of 25 mm, and a thin cloth piece containing hair in a length of about 3.5.
The g was packed as a lump in a U-shaped pipe in a state where it was not easily discharged with running water, and the drain pipe was filled with water-insoluble matter. Each sample shown in Table 7 was added from the upper inlet of a U-shaped tube (there was about 100 ml of distilled water), and immediately after that, the inlet was sealed. Then, the amount of the sample used for discharging the lump in the tube from the outlet and the time required were examined. The results are shown in Table 7.

[0038]

[Table 7]

As is clear from Table 7, all the formulations were able to discharge the lumps in the U-shaped tube within 30 minutes. However, the formulation No. with a small amount of hydrazide was used. Prescription No. 2 with a small amount of sodium percarbonate Prescription No. 3 containing few reaction initiators Four
Is the prescription number. Since the foaming speed was slower than that of 1, 5 or 7, the momentary expansion force was weak, and as a result, a large amount was used and a long discharge time was required. Therefore,
Practically, 1% by weight or more of hydrazide and 50
Preference is given to blending by weight of sodium percarbonate in an amount of 0.3% by weight or more, a surfactant of 0.3% by weight or more and a reaction initiator of 0.1% by weight or more.
