Description
SELF-THICKENED ACIDIC CLEANING COMPOSITION
Technical field
The present invention relates to cleaning compositions for hard surfaces. The compositions of the present invention are designed for optimum performance in removing limescale and are thickened without the use of a thickener compound.
Background of the invention
Compositions for cleaning hard surfaces, including compositions for removing limescale, are well known in the art. Such compositions, which are characterized mainly by a strong acidity, are disclosed for instance in EP 496 188.
Limescale is mainly found in such places as sinks, toilet bowls and bathtubs, i.e. vertical surfaces. Therefore, it is desirable to give some viscosity to compositions for removing limescale so as to prevent said compositions from running down said vertical surfaces. Indeed thick compositions cling to vertical surfaces, thus they have more time to act on vertical surfaces before they run down
said surfaces. It is however undesirable to use thickener compounds in such compositions for various reasons. For instance, thickener compounds may significantly raise formula costs. Also, thickeners may create issues relating to processing and product stability, especially in extreme acidic conditions. Furthermore, thickeners may affect the limescale removing performance of the composition. Finally, thickeners do not contribute to the cleaning performance of the composition.
It is therefore desirable to provide limescale removing compositions in the form of self-thickened systems. Self- thickened systems have been disclosed for instance in copending EP 92201412.1. In these systems, the thickening effect is obtained by the combination of an anionic surfactant, a nonionic surfactant and an electrolyte. It has however been found that such systems are not optimum for limescale removing compositions. Indeed, this approach does not seem to provide viscosity in a strongly acidic system unless very high levels of ingredients are used, and strong negatives have been observed on limescale removal. Furthermore, the stability of anionic surfactants may be problematic in such strongly acidic conditions.
It has now been found that a stable self-thickened effect could be obtained in an acidic medium, without compromising on the limescale removing efficiency of the composition by combining a quaternary ammonium salt surfactant with a nonionic surfactant. This solution has the additional advantage that the thickening system also fulfills a detergent function.
Additionally it has been found that the compositions according to the present invention have the advantage that the use of the quaternary ammonium salts cationic surfactants described hereinafter in combination with an acid provides significant disinfectancy benefits. This
advantage is particularly useful in a composition which is meant to be used primarily on bathroom and kitchen surfaces.
GB 2 071 688 teaches that quaternary ammonium salts can be used to thicken an acidic solution, provided they are combined with an amine or amine oxide. In the '688 patent, nonionic surfactants are presented as an alternative to the quaternary ammonium salts.
EP 188 205 teaches that quaternary ammonium salts can be used to thicken an acidic solution, provided they are combined with a strong mineral acid.
Summary of the invention
The compositions according to the present invention are aqueous compositions comprising an acid whereby the pH as is of said compositions is of from 0.1 to 4.5, said compositions further comprising a thickening system whereby said compositions are stable and have a viscosity of from
10 to 700 cps at 60 rpm shear rate at 20°c, characterized in that said thickening system comprises from 0.5% to 15% by weight of the total composition of a mixture of a nonionic surfactant with a cationic surfactant according to the formula R1R2R3R4N+ X-, wherein X is a counteranion, R1 is a C12-20 hydrocarbon chain and R2, R3 and R4 are independently selected from H or C1-4 hydrocarbon chains.
Detailed description of the invention
The compositions of the present invention are designed for removing limescale or soils comprising limescale as a main component. Thus they comprise, as a first essential ingredient, an organic or inorganic acid, or mixtures
thereof. Appropriate acids for use herein are disclosed for instance in EP 411 708, EP 496 188, GB 2 106 927, EP 200 776, and EP 336 878. Although a wide variety of acids are suitable for use herein from a pure performance viewpoint, it is preferred to avoid the use of strong inorganic acids such as phosphoric acid or HCl, for environmental reasons and for surface safety. Preferred for use herein are organic acids or mixtures thereof. Particularly preferred for use herein are weak organic acids, and particularly preferred is maleic acid which is particularly appealing from both in terms of environmental compatibility and performance. The compositions according to the present invention comprise from 0.1% to 45% by weight of the total composition of an acid or mixtures thereof, preferably from 4% to 25%. Thus, the compositions according to the present have a pH as is of from 0.1 to 4.5, preferably 0.5 to 2.0, most preferably about 1.0.
As the second essential ingredient, the compositions according to the present invention comprise a thickening system which consists of a mixture of certain cationic surfactants with nonionic surfactants. In a highly preferred embodiment, the compositions according to the present invention are free of a thickener compound, i.e. a compound which has the sole purpose of thickening the composition.
The suitable cationic surfactants for use herein are according to the formula R1R2R3R4N+ X-, wherein X is a counteranion, R1 is a C12-20 hydrocarbon chain and R2, R3 and R4 are independently selected from H or C1-4 hydrocarbon chains. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, R1 is a C14-18 hydrocarbon chain, most preferably C16 or C18, and R1 , R2 and R3 are all three methyl, and X is halogen, preferably bromide or chloride, most preferably bromide. It is also possible to use
mixtures of such cationic surfactants without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
Suitable nonionic surfactants for use herein include compounds having the general formula RA(CH2CH2CH2O)m(CH2CH2O)nH, wherein R represents a hydrophobic moiety, A represents a group carrying a reactive hydrogen atom, m represents the average number of propylene oxide moieties and n represents the average number of ethylene oxide moieties. These compounds are typically obtained by condensing ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide with a hydrocarbon having a reactive hydrogen, e.g. a hydroxyl, carboxyl, or amido group, in the presence of an acidic or basic catalyst. In the present invention, the hydrophobic moiety of the nonionic compound can be a primary or secondary, straight or branched alcohol having from about 8 to about 24 carbon atoms, preferably 12 to 18, m is 0 and n varies from 1 to 15. Such suitable surfactants for use herein are commercially available, for instance from Shell under the trade name Dobanol@, or from BASF under the trade name Lutensol@. It is of course possible to use mixtures of different nonionic surfactants without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
The compositions according to the present invention comprise from 0.5% to 15% by weight of the total composition of said thickening system, preferably from 1% to 8%. The compositions according to the present invention consequently have a viscosity in the range of from 10 cps to 700 cps at 60 RPM at 20°c, preferably from 20 cps to 200 cps, most preferably 30 cps to 60 cps.
The selection of the most appropriate thickening system depends on such factors as the target viscosity, the acid concentration and the limescale removal performance target. In mere terms of viscosity, it has been found that using straight alkyl chains in both the cationic and the nonionnc
surfactants provides the best viscosity build up. In the system according to the present invention the combination of the cationic surfactant with the nonionic surfactant allows to build viscosity in an aqueous solution of an acid, even a weak organic acid, whereby this system is stable and the limescale removal performance of said viscosified solution is substantially preserved.
An appropriate way to proceed in determining a suitable thickening system for a given composition is to start by defining the desired limescale removing performance for said composition, i.e. the type and concentration of acid, and to prepare a corresponding aqueous solution of said acid. Then various combinations of cationic and nonionic surfactants can be tried in order to obtain the target viscosity as a stable composition. By stable, it is meant herein that the composition undergoes no phase separation during a substantial period of time in a temperature range of from 0°c to 50°c. The most appropriate system can thus be selected by trial and error.
The compositions according to the present invention may further comprise such optional ingredients as solvents, bleaches, bactericides, perfumes, dyes and the like, provided they are compatible in the acidic medium of the compositions according to the present invention.
The compositions according to the present invention are further illustrated by the following examples.
