DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a method for applying scuffing in dry or liquid form.
oming) cleaning composition.

The present invention relates to compositions that are weak or soft, such that the material will not be scratched or damaged by an abrasive material, yet the abrasive material exhibits excellent abrasive performance. A large number of scouring cleaners are disclosed in the prior art literature.

Standard abrasive compositions include one or more abrasive substances that are usually insoluble in water, one or more inorganic salts that are usually alkaline, and optionally one or more surfactants. configured. Other formulation ingredients, such as oxidizing or reducing bleaches, bleach stabilizers, fragrances, and agents specifically intended for thickening, coloring, complexing, and soil suspension may also be included if desired. can. Conventionally used abrasive particles have a particle size of about 10 to 10
Irregularly shaped powdered or ground material with an average particle size of 0r.

However, it is undesirable for the substrate to be cleaned to be scratched or damaged by abrasive particles, so these particles may be softer than the substrate but harder than the stain to be removed. is selected.

Constituent components of the earth's crust that occur in abundance, such as calcite, chalk,
Cheap and effective minerals selected from marble, dolomite, feldspar or quartz have been found suitable for polishing the surfaces of pottery, stone, paper, chrome steel and stainless steel. But these. The abrasive can be used on relatively sensitive surfaces such as windshields, painted objects, polished wood products, melamine laminates and PVC.
It is unsuitable for paints, and will cause scratches and loss of luster.

By reducing the particle size of the abrasive to less than 10 mounds, the occurrence of scratches and clouding is considerably reduced, but the dirt removal effect is also considerably reduced. The use of relatively soft particles in the preferred size range for cleaning can prevent damage to the substrate, for example pure gypsum (
Soft materials, such as calcium sulfate, have the disadvantage of being too weak to effectively abrade typical dirt and being soluble in water. On the other hand, pure natural clay and talc can be easily formed into microplates.
), and while it does not cause any scratches or damage, it also does not achieve purification. The use of polymer powders as abrasives meets modern standards for good cleaning of dirt on plastic surfaces, while causing little or no damage to the substrate.
Or absolutely nothing. It has been suggested that polyethylene, polystyrene and polypinyl chloride powders are suitable. However, these materials are extremely expensive compared to others, are not suitable for use in household or office cleaning, and waste valuable natural resources. The use of substances is also ecologically unfavorable. It has now been discovered that by agglomerating a substantial proportion of finely divided mineral powders with an organic binder, abrasive particles with good cleaning performance and non-scratching properties may be produced. Therefore, the abrasive agglomerates (ab sivea to romera)
It has been discovered that compositions containing the same have good soil removal performance and are substantially free from scratches.

It has also been discovered that by including the agglomerates in a cosmetically acceptable base, an extremely mild cosmetic polishing composition that does not irritate or rub human skin can be obtained. Ta.

By choosing a binder with precise mechanical properties, it will be large and strong enough to scrub away stains such as grease, jam, and bathtub scale, yet will not deform or disintegrate upon contact with the substrate. particles can be produced using simple techniques.

In a preferred embodiment, the abrasive is made of an abrasive material in which the particles of the abrasive material all have an initial dimension of 20r or less, and at least 8% by weight of which is 101% or less. Provided by the present invention is a non-scratch abrasive cleaning composition formed by a brittle, deformable agglomerate that is abrasive and an organic solvent that agglomerates said abrasive substance. . The abrasive material that may be used in the compositions of the present invention may be any of the materials known in the art.

Although a maximum grain size of 10 grains is desirable, up to 2% by weight of the mineral material may have dimensions greater than 10 grains, as long as all particles have less than 20 grains.

Desirably, between 25 and 8 weight percent of the abrasive particles are less than 2 French particles in size.

Particles this small do not cause scratches, regardless of Moh scale hardness, so a wide range of minerals can be used. Accordingly, dolomite, atomite, feldspar, various forms of silica, alumina, gypsum, clay, kaolin, etc., or mixtures thereof, are all suitable abrasive materials. Particularly preferred is calcite, such as limestone, chalk or marble, as described in British Patent No. 13451.
This is calcite in the form described in the specification of No. 1y. An important economic advantage of the present invention is that it allows the use and upgrading of inferior mineral materials.

Therefore, even if the material is rejected by current abrasive cleaners because it causes scratches or is too soft when used with the conventional particle size of, for example, 50 French, the particle size can be reduced to less than 10 French. The material for the present invention can be produced and obtained at a very low cost by simply doing this. In selecting a suitable flocculant, both mechanical and chemical aspects should be taken into account.

From a mechanical point of view, binders suitable for the present invention are based on the two criteria applicable to agglomerated Western-formed bars: (a) flexural strength, and (b) elasticity and plasticity. The selection will be made based on the following.

These properties are affected in a complex manner by the type of binder and the ratio of binder to mineral, and are considered to be an important factor in preventing the agglomerated particles from causing scratches. Therefore, the properties that determine scratches are:
Factors such as the elasticity/plasticity of the agglomerate, i.e. the degree of deformation that can occur when the agglomerate comes into contact with the substrate, and the fragility related to the mechanical strength of the agglomerate, i.e. the susceptibility to fracture upon contact with the substrate. Both trends and trends. The flexural strength of the agglomerates can be measured by a three-point breaking force test.

In this test, a rod-shaped agglomerate whose cross section is a semicircle with a radius of 4 kites is supported horizontally (curved side up) on a pedestal with 17 rib spacings. A downward force is applied to the center of the bar, increasing in intensity, until the bar breaks. Approximately 1
．． It has been found that materials exhibiting a flexural strength greater than 5k9 are suitable for obtaining powder abrasives with sufficient power to effectively clean typical soils. 3-6
It is preferred to have a bending strength of k9, especially 4 to 5.5 k9.

In order to obtain such force as well as behavior that does not cause scratches, it is necessary to properly judge the elasticity or plasticity behavior of the organic binder and select the binder, and the microhardness of the cohesive soul. It is necessary to select a particle size distribution that provides an optimal filling rate, which can be appropriately expressed quantitatively by Generally, the agglomerate should have a microhardness in the range of 3 to 10, preferably 6 to 8 on the Vickers hardness scale. The ability to produce agglomerates with a flexural strength greater than 1.5k9 and a microhardness of 3 to 10 on the Vickers scale means that the organic binder generally has an elastic modulus of less than 100k9/square.

Also important to consider in selecting a suitable binder is the chemical stability of the agglomerates, for example when used in an aqueous alkaline surfactant suspension soot.

Preferred binders that meet the above criteria and have sufficient adhesion to form agglomerates under high mineral/binder ratios are waxes that exhibit some degree of reactivity toward the mineral component.

This reactivity is due to the carboxylic acid groups within the wax molecule, and may also be due to oil-soluble polar substances added externally in small proportions. An example of such a monstrous trait is
They are quaternary ammonium compounds, anionic higher fatty acids, waxes with high acid values, high molecular weight soaps, and anionic surfactants. The degree of polarity introduced into the organic binder system is critical; it must be sufficient to maximize particle binding and waterproofing, while too much can cause these agglomerated abrasions. This causes the performance of the organic binder to deteriorate in the aqueous alkaline medium in which the binder is used. Accordingly, preferred organic binders which give agglomerates having a flexural strength within the preferred range of about 3 to 6k9 are waxes selected alone or in mixtures from the following groups: [a' based on straight mirrors or highly A natural paraffin wax that is both of the branched type (microcrystalline wax) and has a melting point of 400 to 9 pi.

Also, "mildly oxidized derivatives of the above waxes" having an acid value (KOH dosage per wax per night) of up to about 20.
[b} Montan Estel wax having a melting point of about 700 to 100 qo and an acid number of up to about 20.

'c} A low molecular weight polyethylene wax (molecular weight about 2000) having a melting point of about 10 to 125°C and an acid number up to about 20.

'd - Clear (dis) within the range of 60o to 150q0
tinct) higher polyalkylenes, such as polypropylene, polybutene.

'c - Fully hydrogenated triglyceride oils, such as tallow, vegetable oils and fish oils.

The bending strength is greater than 1.5Z9, but about 3-6kg
It has also been found that waxes which give agglomerates outside the It is.

These include paraffin waxes with a melting point below 50°C, such as cetylnostearyl alcohol or stearyl stearate, which give a flexural strength in the range 1.5 to 3k9, and flexural strengths above 6k9 or above 10 Waxes that provide Vickers hardness include, for example, polyethylene waxes and carnauba waste waxes with high molecular weights (greater than 2500) and melting points above 125°C.

It is now desirable to introduce into wax binders a moderate anionic or cationic polar behavior depending on the chemical nature of the mineral raw material chosen.

Oil-soluble cationic compounds are preferred for talc, kaolin and silica, while anionic compounds are preferred for marble, chalk, feldspar, dolomite and gypsum.
Some minerals, such as feldspars and carbonates, exhibit amphoteric behavior. Suitable anionic oil-soluble polar compounds include fatty acids whose alkyl chain preferably has more than 18 carbon atoms, preferably oxidized paraffins having a chain length of 20 to 40 carbon atoms and an acid number of about 100 to 150. Polyethylene wax with an acid value of about LO-30 (molecular weight about 2000)
, preferably with an acid number of about 100-150, montanic acid esters, preferably with an acid number of about 35-100, and high molecular weight alkyl sulfates and sulfonates, such as di(C,3-C,5 ) Sulfosuccinates are included.

Suitable cationic compounds include higher fatty amines such as stearylamine and polymeric alkyl (aryl) quaternary ammonium salts such as dilauryl-dimethylammonium chloride and distearyl-dimethylammonium chloride. Included.

For neutral waxes, oil-soluble polar compounds are preferably incorporated at levels of 1-20%, more preferably 2-20%, and most preferably 4-10%, based on the weight of the wax. .

When using a wax that has some polarity itself, the amount of polar additive added should naturally be reduced. The initial acid value of the wax blend (i.e. wax plus an optional polar component) is 1 to 2 depending on the IQ.
Preferably, it is 5. Generally, an oil-soluble polar compound is mixed with the molten wax before adding the mineral raw material.

An advantageous method of introducing a degree of polarity into a wax system is to
This method involves mixing paraffin wax and minerals, heating the mixture to a temperature exceeding 120°C while exposing it to air, and producing oxidized paraffin using the hot water. The paraffin wax acids formed during heating then react with the minerals, resulting in optimal particle bonding. Also suitable bonding systems are high molecular weight polymers (or mixtures thereof) that meet the physical and chemical criteria listed above.

based on styrene, alkyl acrylate, ethylene, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride or butadiene,
selected from the group of lightly carboxylated polymers,
Compounds such as those described above provide suitable mineral/binder matrices. It is desirable that the polymer binder exhibit some degree of polar behavior to maximize its binding strength to minerals.

It is desirable for linking groups, for example of the carboxyl or amine type, to be attached to the polymer backbone with additional and advantageous cross-linking possibilities, thereby improving solvent resistance and strength. Depending on the type of binder used, the weight ratio between abrasive material and binder can be varied over a wide range.

For waxes, standard mineral/binder ratios are 1:1 to 8:1. The lower limit of this ratio is determined primarily by cost considerations, but the inherent strength of the wax is enhanced by mixing it with a fine powder of an abrasive substance (usually 2
~3 times) is also a predisposing factor for determining the lower limit. however,
This is only the case when the mineral is present in a proportion of 5% by weight or more. The upper limit is the ratio of values such that the mechanical strength of the wax system decreases to zero above the limit value. Preferably, the weight ratio of mineral to wax breath is between 4:1 and 5.5:1. Mineral aggregate systems bound by polymer emulsions or solutions are not subject to the upper limits for minerals of about 85-9% by weight in the case of waxes.

Although these systems do not melt and fill the interstices between mineral particles, as waxes do, they do not melt to fill the gaps between mineral particles, but the minimum film-forming temperature for the polymers is
When the solvent phase is removed at a temperature higher than the skin temperature, the mineral particles are spot-glued together due to their viscosity. Because polymers exhibit a high degree of tensile strength, minerals/
These systems continue to maintain acceptable mechanical strength up to binder weight ratios of up to 97:3. If the binder has a well-defined melting point, as is the case, for example, with wax, the agglomerates, up to about 5-6 parts of mineral to 1 part of melted wax, can form a slurry obtained by hot mixing. It is easily produced by cooling and pulverizing to a particle size within the desired range.

Alternatively, the slurry may be subjected to dish granulation techniques, flaking, extrusion or mist cooling before comminution. At high mineral-to-binder ratios, there is not enough molten liquid phase to fill the interstices between the particles.
No mobile slurry.

This involves creating a slurry of minerals in suspension using a binder solution or emulsion, then removing the solvent or water by heat drying, and coalescing the wax or polymeric particles into a cohesive matrix.
) is solved by letting Next, the cast or mist-dried solids are pulverized to a desired particle size by a conventional method.
These particles are porous when dry, and the interstices left after evaporation of the solvent are filled by the solution when wet. Agglomerates can be produced having any desired size range and morphology. The size of the abrasive can range from 10 mounds to 500 mns, or larger if desired. Preferably, the particle size is within the range of about 10 to about 200 µm, and preferably a particle size distribution having an average size of about 75 to about 125 µm. Generally one or more surfactants are also included in the scrubbing composition.

Any detersive active compound commonly used in abrasive cleansers is suitable as a surfactant in the compositions of the present invention, including anionic, nonionic, cationic, zwitterionic and amphoteric compounds. Suitable anionic surfactants include C,2 to C,8 branched or straight chain alkylaryl sulfonates, C,2 to C,8 paraffin sulfonates, C8 to C,2 branched or straight chain alkyl sulfonates. nate, C,o~C,8 alkyl E○, ~,.
