Definitions

  • This invention relates to the processing of laundry additive products in the form of sheet substrates coated or impregnated with solidified detergent compositions, and is especially concerned with the separation of the solid impregnating and/or coating medium from the substrate during its passage through the processing equipment.
  • Laundry additive products in impregnated or coated sheet substrate form are known in the art, being disclosed in e.g. British Patent Specification Nos. 1,586,769, 2040983 and European Published Patent Application Nos. 0013450 and 0098129.
  • the compositions forming the coating or impregnating media for these products are primarily organic in nature and are arranged to be solid at ambient temperatures whilst being releasable from the substrate by dissolution, melting, or abrasion when added to an aqueous laundry liquor.
  • the products are also characterised by a high loading factor, i.e.
  • a weight ratio of coating or impregnating medium to substrate of ⁇ 3:1 so that the physical characteristics of the solidified coating or impregnating medium itself have to be taken into account in the handling of the coated or impregnated substrate, particularly when continuous manufacture of the product takes place.
  • Continuous manufacture of a sheet substrate product of this type involves the processing of a moving web of material, and necessitates sliding and rolling contact between the coated web and portions of the equipment. Under certain conditions it has been found that separation of the coating medium from the sheet substrate can occur, particularly at points where the coated product experiences an abrupt change of direction e.g. where the moving web separates from the contact surface. This separation manifests itself as a flaky deposit on equipment and is undesirable'from a number of standpoints, as it is wasteful of coating medium, is unsightly and may affect the functioning of the equipment. A need therefore exists for a processing aid which will prevent or minimise this separation from the substrate of normally solid organic coating or impregnating compositions.
  • a laundry additive product comprising a normally solid detergent composition comprising a solidified liquid matrix having a melting point greater than 30°C and less than 80°C, in which matrix is dispersed solid particles of size ⁇ 150 ⁇ m said solid particles comprising from 5% to 50% by weight or the composition, said composition being in water releasable combination with a flexible sheet substrate, the weight ratio of said composition to said substrate lying in the range from 1:2 to 12:1 characterised in that said composition includes a liquid processing aid selected from polyols of MWt ⁇ 180 and boiling point (at a pressure of 760 mm Hg) of at least 100°C in an amount of from 0.5% to 5.0% by weight of the composition.
  • a liquid processing aid selected from polyols of MWt ⁇ 180 and boiling point (at a pressure of 760 mm Hg) of at least 100°C in an amount of from 0.5% to 5.0% by weight of the composition.
  • the liquid polyols display a solubility of less than 0.1% by weight in non polar solvents such as hexane and benzene and preferably also the liquid polyols display a high solubility in water. Most preferably the liquid polyols are completely miscible with water.
  • the invention finds its greatest utility in those products which have a high loading factor i.e. those in which the weight ratio of the composition to the substrate is greater than 1:1, more preferably from 2:1 to 10:1, most preferably from 3:1 to 8:1.
  • a material is defined as normally solid if a block of the material is self supporting at a temperature of 30°C and below.
  • water-releasable combination is taken to mean a combination capable of being separated by water through solution, dispersion, leaching, softening or melting.

  • the detergent compositions useful in the present invention include those exemplified in British Patent Specifications Nos. 1,586,769 and 2040983 which relate to compositions comprising an organic peroxy acid bleach precursor (so-called bleach activator) in water releasable combination with a flexible sheet substrate.
  • an organic peroxy acid bleach precursor so-called bleach activator
  • Mixtures of nonionic and cationic surfactants as well as peroxy acid bleach precursors are a highly preferred components of compositions of the present invention.
  • the substrate is preferably absorbent and the composition is impregnated therein.
  • Impregnation can be carried out in any convenient manner and many methods are known in the art, such as application as a solution or dispersion from an organic solvent followed by volatilisation of the solvent. However, the preferred method is by forming a melt of those components having a melting point below 100°C, dispersing the remainder of the components in the melt, applying this melt to the substrate and cooling the impregnated substrate to provide the final product.
  • Coated sheet products of this type are prone to suffer separation of the coating from the substrate.
  • This separation normally manifests itself as a flaky/dusty deposit on surrounding equipment and surfaces and most frequently occurs when the coated product undergoes abrupt changes of orientation e.g. around small diameter rolls or in apparatus designed to fold the coated substrate.
  • the severity of the problem is a function of many variables, such as the nature of the coating material, the absorbent capacity and physical form of the substrate, the weight of coating being applied and the stresses to which the coated substrate is subjected.
  • Suitable polyols include glycerol and mono C 1 -C 4 alkyl ethers and esters thereof, diethylene glycol, 1-2 propane diol and 2-methyl propane 1,2- 0 1. Preferred materials are glycerol and diethylene glycol.
  • liquid polyols Whilst the mechanism of the beneficial effect provided by the liquid polyols is not fully understood, it is believed that it involves a modification of the composition of the particulate solid and solidified liquid phases that result when the detergent composition is solidified after the coating and impregnation step.
  • the potential suitability of polyols for preventing flaking can be gauged by a screening test method which simulates the stress on coated substrates that is likely to be encountered during manufacture.
  • the test method involves weighing the product lost and assigning a 'flaking grade' on the basis of the value obtained.

  • the detergent composition is normally solid i.e. can be formed into a body which is self supporting at temperatures of 30°C and below. It is composed of a solidified liquid mass, which has a melting point lying between 30°C and 80°C in which are dispersed solid particles of size ⁇ 150 ⁇ m, preferably ⁇ 50 ⁇ m.

Suitable enzymes are discussed in US Patents 3,519,570 and 3,533,139. Examples of suitable enzymes include the materials sold under the Registered Trade Marks Maxatase, Rapidase and Alcalase.
  • the organic suds modifiers and certain anti-redeposition agents are solid materials which form the dispersed particulate phase of the detergent compositions.
  • the particulates are insoluble, or only partly soluble, in the solidified liquid phase and ideally are finely divided.
  • Their particle size should be no more than 150 ⁇ m and preferably should be less than 100 ⁇ m, ideally less than 50 ⁇ m.
  • Preferred detergent compositions useful in the present invention include one or more of a cationic surfactrant as hereinbefore defined, most preferably of the type where Y is -N - and m is 1 or 2, a chelating agent of the amino polyphosphonate type particularly EDTMP or DETPMP and a peroxyacid bleach precursor of the tetracetyl alkylene diamine and/or C 1 - C 9 acyloxybenzene sulphonic or carboxylic acid type, together with a C 8 -C 22 ethoxylated primary alcohol and a polyethylene glycol of MVt 4,000 - 10,000.
  • a cationic surfactrant as hereinbefore defined, most preferably of the type where Y is -N - and m is 1 or 2
  • a chelating agent of the amino polyphosphonate type particularly EDTMP or DETPMP and a peroxyacid bleach precursor of the tetracetyl alkylene diamine and/or C 1 -
  • the types and levels of the ingredients of the detergent composition is constrained by the requirements of mutual unreactivity (if the materials are applied so as to be in intimate contact), by the weight ratio of components forming particulate solids to components forming the solidified liquid phase and by the loading limitations of the substrate.
  • materials that are capable of mutual reaction can be incorporated in the additive products of the invention, but must be spatially separated from each other i.e. by application to a substrate location that is free or substantially free of the other reactant material(s).
  • the detergent composition is preferably applied, as described in more detail hereinafter, as a molten dispersion to the substrate so that the maximum viscosity that can be handled by the application system determines the maximum level of dispersed particulate solids in the composition. This level is generally approximately 50% by weight.
  • the minimum level of 5% by weight of the composition is less critical.
  • the level of dispersed particulate solids is from 25% to 45% by weight of the composition.
  • individual components can be incorporated in amounts up to those corresponding to component:substrate weight ratios of 10:1.
  • the total weight of particulate components per sheet is normally held to a maximum of 4 times the sheet weight, and individual components are ideally present at no more than 3 times the sheet weight.
  • the detergent compositions useful in the invention also comprise a solidified liquid phase in which the solid particles are dispersed.
  • certain functional components of the composition such as nonionic surfactants can act as the, or part of the, solidified liquid phase but in general the majority of the solidified liquid phase is a water soluble or water dispersible processing aid having a melting point in the range from 30°C to 80°C.
  • the most preferred processing aids are organic compounds having a softening point greater than 40°C and a melting point less than 80°C to permit their easy processing.
  • These compounds serve as an aid in processing and/or in releasing the composition from the substrate when the latter is introduced into a wash liquor and, when melted, provide mixtures having a viscosity of up to 5000 centipoises at 50°C.
  • Typical solids are C 14 -C 18 primary and secondary alcohols and C 12 -C 20 fatty acids and ethoxylates thereof containing from 15 to 80 ethylene oxide groups per mole of alcohol, sorbitan esters of C 12 -C 20 fatty acids and polyethylene glycols of Mwt 4000-10,000.
  • Insoluble waxy materials such as paraffin waxes and alkyl fatty acid esters can also be used in minor amounts in admixture with one or more water soluble materials. Mixtures of the above water soluble materials are preferred.
  • the organic compounds forming the solidified liquid phase can serve as a release aid that assists in releasing the compositions from the substrate upon addition of the product to a wash liquor.
  • materials serving as processing aids are also suitable as release aids but certain materials, notably C 16 -C 18 fatty acids and polyethylene glycols of MWt 4,000-10,000, are particularly effective when used in amounts such that the weight ratio of compositions: release aid lies in the range 9:1 to 1:1 particularly 3:1 to 1:1.
  • the detergent compositions of the additive products in accordance with the invention will incorporate a high level of organic material having a Mpt,> 30°C and this will include at least 50% by weight of the composition of carrier material having a melting point in the range 30°C-80°C either in the form of a processing aid or as one of the functional detergent components.
  • the composition will incorporate at least 55% of such carrier materials and, depending on the nature and physical characteristics of the "non-carrier" solid components, the level of carrier materials may be as high as 70% of the composition.
  • the substrate may itself be water soluble or water insoluble and in the latter case it should preferably possess sufficient structural integrity under the conditions of the wash to be recovered from the machine at the end of the laundry cycle.
  • Water soluble materials include certain cellulose ethers, alginates, polyvinyl alcohol and water soluble polyvinyl pyrrolidone polymers, which can be formed into non-woven and woven fibrous structures.
  • Suitable water insoluble materials include, but are not restricted to, natural and synthetic fibres, foams, sponges and films.
  • the sheet is water pervious i.e. water can pass from one surface of the sheet to the opposite surface and, for film type substrates, perforation of the sheet is desirable.
  • the most preferred form of the substrate is a sheet of woven or non-woven fabric or a thin sheet of cellular plastics material.
  • Woven fabric sheets can take the form of a plain weave natural or synthetic fibre of low fibre count/unit length, such as is used for surgical dressings, or of the type known as cheese cloth. Loading limitations on sheet type substrates limit the amount of detergent composition that can be applied to the sheet namely to a maximum represented by a precursor:sheet weight ratio of about 10:1.
  • a very desirable attribute of the laundry additive products of the present invention is that they do not interfere with the mechanical operation of the washing machine into which they are put.
  • a high proportion of domestic washing machines are of the rotating perforated drum type in which the perforations extend over the entire peripheral surface. In this type of equipment the drum construction and mode of operation obviates any problem of obstruction to liquid flow in the machine.
  • Certain older types of machine utilise an agitator in a stationary vessel provided with a recirculating liquid system. In order to avoid liquid blockage in this machine type it may be necessary to provide slits or perforations in the substrate, particularly if it is in sheet form. Sheet structures of this type are disclosed in McQueary US Patents Nos. 3944694 and 3956556 issued March 16, 1976 and May 11, 1976 respectively.
  • suitable materials which can be used as a substrate in the invention herein include, among others, sponges, paper, and woven and non-woven fabrics.
  • a suitable sponge like material that can be used in the present invention comprises an absorbent foam like material in the form of a sheet.
  • the term 'absorbent foam-like material' is intended to encompass three dimensional absorptive materials such as 'gas blown foams', natural sponges and composite fibrous based structures such as are disclosed in US Patent Nos. 3311115 and 3430630.
  • a particularly suitable material of this type is a hydrophilic polyurethane foam in which the internal cellular walls of the foam have been broken by reticultion. Foams of this type are described in detail in Dulle US Patent No. 3794029.
  • a preferred example of this foam type comprises a hydrophilic polyurethane foam of density 0.596 grs per cubic inch with a cell count of between 8 and 40 cells per cm, preferably about 24 to 32 per cm available from the Scott Paper Company, Eddystone, Pennsylvania USA., under the Registered Trade Mark "Hydrofoam”.
  • Preferred sheets of this type of material have thicknesses in the range from 3 to 5 mm.
  • a suitable paper-based absorbent structure containing 2 or 3 paper plies is disclosed in USP 3414459.
  • the preferred substrates of the laundry additive products of the invention are apertured and non apertured nonwoven fabrics which can generally be defined as adhesively bonded fibrous or filamentous products, having a web or carded fibre structure (where the fibre strength is suitable to allow carding) or comprising fibrous mats, in which the fibres or filaments are distributed haphazardly or in random array (i.e. an array of fibres in a carded web wherein partial orientation of the fibres is frequently present as well as a completely haphazard distributional orientation) or substantially aligned.
  • the fibres or filaments can be natural (e.g. wool, silk, wood pulp, jute, hemp, cotton, linen, sisal, or ramie), synthetic (e.g. rayon, cellulose, ester, polyvinyl derivatives, polyolefins, polyamides, or polyesters) or mixtures of any of the above.
  • non-woven cloths are not a part of this invention and being well known in the art, are not described in detail herein.
  • such cloths are made by air or water laying processes in which the fibres or filaments are first cut to desired lengths from long strands, passed into a water or air stream, and then deposited onto a screen through which the fibre-laden air or water is passed. The deposited fibres or filaments are then adhesively bonded together, dried, cured and otherwise treated as desired to form the non-woven cloth.
  • Non-woven cloths made of polyesters, polyamides, vinyl resins, and other thermoplastic fibres can be bonded, i.e. the fibres are spun out onto a flat surface and bonded (melted) together by heat or by chemical reactions.
  • the absorbent properties desired herein are particularly easy to obtain with non-woven cloths and are provided merely by building up the thickness of the cloth, i.e. by super-imposing a plurality of carded webs or mats to a thickness adequate to obtain the necessary absorbent properties, or by allowing a sufficient thickness of the fibres to deposit on the screen.
  • Any diameter or denier of the fibre can be used, inasmuch as it is the free space between each fibre that makes the thickness of the cloth directly related to the absorbent capacity of the cloth, and which further makes the non-woven cloth especially suitable for impregnation with a peroxy compound detergent composition by means of interstitial or capillary action.
  • any thickness necessary to obtain the required absorbent capacity can be used.
  • binder-resins used in the manufacture of non-woven cloths can provide substrates possessing a variety of desirable traits.
  • the absorbent capacity of the cloth can be increased, decreased, or regulated by respectively using a hydrophilic binder-resin, a hydrophobic binder-resin or a mixture thereof in the fibre bonding step.
  • the hydrophobic binder-resin when used singly or as the predominant campound of a hydrophobic-hydrophilic mixture, provides non-woven cloths which are especially useful as substrates when the detergent composition-substrate combinations disclosed herein are used in an automatic washer.
  • the substrate herein is a bonded non-woven cloth made from fibres, deposited haphazardly or in random array on the screen, the compositions exhibit excellent strength in all directions and are not prone to tear or separate when used in the washer.
  • the non-woven cloth is water-laid or air-laid and is made from cellulosic fibres, particularly from regenerated cellulose or rayon, which are lubricated with standard textile lubricant.
  • the fibres are from 4 to 50 mm in length and are from 1.5 to 5 denier (Denier is an internationally recognised unit in yarn measure, corresponding to the weight in grams of a 9,000 meter length of yarn).
  • the fibres are at least partially orientated haphazardly, particularly substantially haphazardly, and are adhesively bonded together with hydrophobic or substantially hydrophobic binder-resin, particularly with a nonionic self-crosslinking acrylic polymer or polymers.
  • the cloth comprises 70% fibre and 30% binder-resin polymer by weight and has a basis weight of from 10 to 100, preferably from 24 to 72 g/m 2 .
  • a suitable example is an air-laid, non-woven cloth comprising 70% regenerated cellulose (American Viscose Corporation) and 30% hydrophobic binder-resins (Rhoplex HA-8 on one side of the cloth, Rhoplex HA-16 on the other; Rohm & Haas, Inc).
  • the cloth has a thickness of 4 to 5 mils., a basis weight of 29 g/m .
  • a 30 cm length of the cloth 21 cm wide weighs 1.78 grams.
  • the fibres are 10 mm in length, 1.5 denier, and are orientated substantially haphazardly.
  • the fibres are lubricated with sodium oleate.
  • a further exemplary substrate is a water-laid, non-woven cloth commercially available from C H Dexter Co., Inc.
  • the fibres are regenerated cellulose, 15 mm in length, 1.5 denier, and are lubricated with a similar standard textile lubricant.
  • the fibres comprise 70% of the non-woven cloth by weight and are orientated substantially haphazardly; the binder-resin (HA-8) comprises 30% by weight of the cloth.
  • the substrate is 4 mils thick, and it has a basis weight of 29 g/m 2 .
  • Apertured non-woven substrates are also useful for the purposes of the present invention.
  • the apertures, which extend between opposite surfaces of the substrate are normally in a pattern and are formed during lay-down of the fibres to produce the substrate.
  • Exemplary apertured non-woven substrates are disclosed in US Patent Nos. 3,741,724, 3,930,086 and 3,750,237.
  • a suitable diamond patterned apertured substrate is obtainable from Chiccpee Manufacturing Co., Milltown, New Jersey, USA under the Code No. SK 650 WFX 577 and comprising a polyester-wood pulp mixture having a basis weight of 50 g/m 2 and approximately 13 apertures per square cm.
  • Another preferred example of an apertured non-woven substrate, also available from Chiccpee Manuacturing Co., under the Code No. AK 30 ML 1379 comprises a regenerated cellulose sheet of 3.0 denier fibres bonded with Rhoplex RA 8 binder (fibre:binder ratio 70:30) having a basis weight of 40 g/m 2 and 17 apertures/cm .
  • a highly preferred square patterned apertured substrate of similar composition but fibre:binder ratio of 80:20 and basis weight 35 g/m 2 is also available from Chicopee BV Holland.
  • apertured fabrics for the purposes of the invention have from 10-20 apertures/cm 2 , preferably 12-18 apertures/cm 2 .
  • the size and shape of the substrate sheet is a matter of choice and is determined principally by factors associated with the convenience of its use. Thus the sheet should not be so small as to become trapped in the crevices of the machine or the clothes being washed or so large as to be awkward to package and dispense from the container in which it is sold.
  • sheets ranging in plan area from 130 cm 2 to 1300 cm 2 are acceptable, the preferred area lying in the range of from 650 cm 2 to 900 cm 2 .
  • the substrate was a square patterned apertured non-woven sheet, of size 23 x 35 cm and basis weight 2.8 g, formed of 100% unbleached crimped rayon fibres (80% fibre, 20% polyacrylate binder).
  • the product was made by forming a melt of the PEG and A 45E7 at approximately 80°C, dispersing the other components (except the perfume) therein and applying the resultant slurry to the substrate from an applicator roll with which the substrate was brought into contact. Additional rolls were used to spread the slurry before it was cooled to ambient temperature to solidify the composition. Perfume was then sprayed on to the impregnated substrate to produce the final product.
