- Liquid combinations of wash-active substances are used for most part in substantially concentrated form, for the manufacture of solutions for treating many different kinds of solid materials, and also for making liquid washing, cleaning and rinsing substances.
- These solutions can be used as household cleaners such as laundry detergents for heavy and fine clothing, washing compounds and general utility cleaners for polished or varnished surfaces, and for cleaning wall tiles, wall coverings and the like.
- These liquid concentrates are also employed commercially for cleaning or treatment of surfaces or solid materials such as in laundries, and other industrial applications or the like.
- these liquid concentrates may also contain other conventional additives.
- the wash-active concentrates it is advantageous for the wash-active concentrates to have the lowest possible viscosity, because the viscosity is often increased by the use of accompanying substances, and because it is important to avoid excessive viscosities in the interest of easy handling, such as the rapid measurement and dilution of the concentrates with water.
- salts of sulfofatty acids with 10 to 14 carbon atoms are capable of reducing the viscosity of aqueous pastes or solutions of surface-active alkylbenzenesulfonates which optionally contain surfaceactive salts of esters of sulfofatty acids having 8 to 24, preferably 10 to 20, and especially 12 to 18 carbon atoms, and monovalent or divalent alcohols.
- the salts of 10-to-l4 carbon-atom sulfofatty acids may be individual salts of l0-to-l4-carbon-atom chain length or mixture of such salts.
- These sulfofatty acid ester salts are present in qauntities of from to 80%, and preferably from to 60%, of the mixture of alkylbenzenesulfonate and sulfofatty acid ester salt.
- the sulfofatty acid salts (monosalts and/or disalts) mentioned in the specification and claims will be referred to as disalts
- the sulfo fatty acid ester salts will be referred to as ester salts
- the alkylbenzenesulfonates as ABS.
- the expression total WAS means the sum of the WAS (washactive substances), disalts, ester salts and any other washactive substances that may be present.
- US. Patent No. 2,915,473 discloses the 16 to 24 carbon atom sulfofatty acids in combination with alkylbenzenesulfonates or fatty alcohol sulfates.
- the viscosity reducing effect of disalts in combination with these sulfonates is completely unexpected in view of the diffiiculty encountered in dissolving disalts.
- the viscosity lowering effect of the dissalts of sulfofatty acids with 10 to 14 carbon atoms is so pronounced that it occurs even in the presence of disalts of higher sulfofatty acids, although the C to C percentage in the said disalt mixture is to amount to at least 25 Wt. percent.
- the total wash-active substance concentration of the pastes or solutions of the invention can range from 5 to wt. percent, a range of 10 to 30 wt. percent being preferred, with reference to the weight of the total solution or paste, the remainder being water.
- alkylbenzenesulfonates contained therein, and having 8 to 18, and preferably 10 to 15 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical, may possess straight-chained or branched alkyl radicals.
- the disalts will preferably comprise fatty acid mixtures in which those with 12 to 14 carbon atoms amount to at least The hydrogenated fatty acid fractions of coconut or palm kernel oil having 12 to 18 carbon atoms particularly suited for this purpose.
- Fatty acid mixtures of different composition are usable for the ester salts, as for example the hydrogenated fatty acids of palm oil, tallow, the oils of marine animals, and the like.
- analogous products of fatty acids or fatty acid mixtures of synthetic origin can also be used, providing the chain length make-up corresponds to the above requirements.
- the substantially saturated hydrophobic radicals of the sulfofatty acids, which are contained in the disalts or ester salts, can be straight-chained or branched; the sulfonic acid group is in the alpha position, in contrast to those obtained by sulfonation of unsaturated and/or hydroxyl group-containing acids or their derivatives involving sulfuric acid semiesters.
- the fatty acid radicals present in the disalts and ester salts may be all the same or different.
- the alcohol radicals present in the ester salts can be derived from monovalent alcohols having approximately 1 to 12, and preferably 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or from polyvalent alcohols, especially divalent to tetravalent alcohols with 2 to 6 carbon atoms, such as glycol or glycerine.
- the aliphatic monovalent or polyvalent alcohols named above may be substituted wholly or partially with monovalent ether alcohols containing up to 12 carbon atoms. These ether alcohols can be derived from the above-described monovalent or polyvalent alcohols.
- the ether alcohols themselves can also be monovalent or polyvalent. They can be derived especially from monovalent mono-alcohols containing no other groups and having 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the molecule, and be obtained by etherification with polyalcohols, especially polyglycols or polyglycerines, or by adding on ethylene oxide, propylene oxide or glycide.
- ether alcohols are the monomethyl, monoethyl, monopropyl, monoisopropyl or monobutyl ethers of ethylene glycol, propylene 3 glycol, butylene glycol, dior tri-ethylene glycol, and the products formed by adding from 1 to 7 mols of ethylene oxide or 1 to .5 mols of propylene oxide onto glycerin.
- the wash-active substance pastes or solutions of the invention may contain, in addition to ABS compositions and ester salts, other WAS substances. Disalts that may be present containing more than 14 carbon atoms will also be considered WAS substances. These additional WAS substances, however, are to be present in a smaller quantity than the sum of ABS compositions and ester salt. Preferably, the WAS substances are to be present in smaller quantity than ABS compounds; this applies particularly to pastes in which the ABS content amounts to at least of the mixture of ABS and ester salt.
- These WAS substances which may be present in addition to ABS compounds and ester salts include primarily those of the sulfate type. These surface-active sulfates generally contain hydrophobic radicals, especially aliphatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon radicals with 8 to and preferably 12 to 18 carbon atoms.
- the above WAS surface-active sulfates can be derived from saturated or unsaturated fatty alcohols, from fatty acid alkylolamides, partial ethers of fatty alcohols, alkylphenols or acylphenols or partial esters of fatty acids formed with polyvalent alcohols, such as ethylene or propylene glycols, glycerin, pentaerythritol, mannitol, hexitol and the like. Radicals of polyvalent alcohols which may be present in such partial ethers or partial esters are especially the radicals of polyethylene or polypropylene, glycols, polyglycerines, polypentaerythritols, etc.
- sulfates or partial ethers or patrial esters which are obtained by adding 1 to 4 mols of ethylene and/or propylene glycol onto fatty alcohols, fatty acid amides, fatty acids, alkyl phenols or acyl phenols.
- alkyl radicals present in these compounds stem from natural products, as is the case, for example, with fatty acids, fatty alcohols of vegetable or animal origin, or derivatives obtained therefrom, they may be manufactured from coconut, palm kernel, palm oil, tallow and marine animal fats and oils.
- the fatty alcohols primarily may be fully saturated or they may be more or less unsaturated like the starting fatty acids.
- the sulfates obtainable from unsaturated fatty alcohols also include the products, like oleylsulfate-I, (which are made) in a conventional manner with the preservation of the double bond, (and) which are sulfati-zed at practically none but the hydroxyl group.
- hydrophobic radicals present in the surface-active sulfates may also be of synthetic origin, however, and they may be branched if desired, and be obtained for example from the products of oxosynthesis, Zieglers synthesis, carbon monoxide hydrogenation, etc.
- the viscosity reducing effect of the disalts occurs even when the disalt content is slight, amounting to 2.5% of the weight of the alkylbenzenesulfonates and at least 2.5% of the weight of the mixture of ABS substances and ester salt and, preferably, the weight of the disalts amounts to up to 10% of the weight of the ABS and ester salt mixture.
- disalts are used at most in such quantities that their weight is equal to the weight of the ABS and ester salt mixture.
- the weight of the disalts should preferably not exceed the weight of the ABS compounds.
- wash-active substance combinations according to the invention contain no ester salts
- the data on quantities or weights which have been given for the weight of the ABS and ester salt mixture shall apply to the weight of the ABS compounds.
- the wash-active substance combinations of the invention are opaque pastes or more or less turbid or even clear solutions, depending on their concentration and the substances dissolved in them. In many cases, turbidity does not occur until after relatively long storage. This fact is immaterial to the use of the pastes or solutions because, when they are used for example as liquid detergents, they contain still other turbidity causing substances in solution or suspension.
- ABS compounds, ester salts, disalts and any other salt-like WAS compounds that may be present may be in the form of sodium salts or in the form of the salts of other cations.
- Such other cations are, in addition to potassium, lithium and ammonium, organic bases such as mono-, dior triethanolamine.
- sodium and potassium salts can be used together, or potassium and triethonalamine salts, or sodium and potassium and triethanolamine salts.
- the wash-active substance combinations according to the invention may also contain solubilizers, particularly water-soluble organic solvents such as monovalent or polyvalent alcohols, ethers of identical or different polyvalent alcohols, or partial ethers of polyvalent and monovalent alcohols.
- solubilizers particularly water-soluble organic solvents such as monovalent or polyvalent alcohols, ethers of identical or different polyvalent alcohols, or partial ethers of polyvalent and monovalent alcohols.
- water-soluble organic solvents such as monovalent or polyvalent alcohols, ethers of identical or different polyvalent alcohols, or partial ethers of polyvalent and monovalent alcohols.
- water-soluble organic solvents such as monovalent or polyvalent alcohols, ethers of identical or different polyvalent alcohols, or partial ethers of polyvalent and monovalent alcohols.
- these include, for example, the aliphatic, monovalent alcohols containing 1 to 5 carbon atoms, glycols with 2 to 5 carbon atoms, dior triethylene glycol, glycerine, poly
- the wash-active substance combinations according to the invention are especially suitable for the incorporation of additional substances, such as those usually added to mixtures to be used for washing, cleaning and rinsing.
- additional substances such as those usually added to mixtures to be used for washing, cleaning and rinsing.
- these include the carbonates, orthophosphates, anyhdrous phosphates (pyrophosphates, polyphosphates and polymetaphosphates) and the silicates of the alkalies, as well as other conventional washing alkalies.
- the organic chelate formers of the prior art can also be incorporated into the preparations according to the invention.
- organic or inorganic colloidal substances, water-soluble substances of high molecular weight, etc. can be added, such as the ones which serve as dirt carriers in the Washing process.
- water-soluble salts of polyacrylic acid or polymethacrylic acid water-soluble cellulose or starch derivatives such as carboxymethylcellulose and ethers of cellulose and oxyalkylsulfonic acids, and also the cellulose sulfates.
- Liquid wash-active susbtance combinations with a content of the wash-active substance combination of the invention may have approximately the follow-ing composition:
- wash-active substance combination 525%, preferably 7 to 20%, by weight, of wash-active substance combination
- anhydrous phosphates or organic chelating agents preferably pyrophosphates or polyphosphates
- fatty acid amides such as fatty acid amides or fatty acid alkylalamides.
- liquid washing, cleaning and rinsing agents can be manufactured which contain all their components in solution or in stable suspension.
- the absolute values of the viscosities of the washactive substance concentrate depend more or less on the structure and composition of the starting products used for their manufacture; for example, the salt content of the technical wash-active substances has an influence. For this reason, precise comparisons of viscosities are possible only in the case of products which have been made from the same starting materials and have been treated in the same manner. In the tables below, such comparison is possible only in the case of product having the same example number.
- the variations in the absolute values of the viscosities which will be observed on account of these circumstances are, nevertheless, slight in comparison to the viscosity reduction achieved according to the invention.
- TPS is a technical alkylbenzenesulfonate made from tetrapropylene
- ABS stands for a straight-chained alkylbenzenesulfonate with 11 to 13 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical (percentage of C alkyl approximately 75%)
- PAS is a fatty alcohol sulfate made from a fatty alcohol produced by reduction of the C to C fraction of coconut fatty acid.
- the toal WAS substances were in the form of sodium salts, and the sulfofatty acid salts were in the form of disalts.
- the sulfofatty acid salts are identified by the chain length of the fatty acids or a statement of their origin, followed by the sufiix /Di. Accordingly, Di stands for the salt of sulfonated C fatty acid, while HPK/Di represents the salt of a sulfonated fatty acid made from hydrogenated palm kernel oil. This system applies in like manner to the ester salts, in which case the number after the diagonal gives the chain length of the alcohol. Accordingly, 10/10 stands for the sulfonate made from C -fatty acid C -fatty alcohol ester. In the same way, HSt/l stands for the sulfonate made from hydrostearing methyl ester.
- the hydrogenated palm kernel fatty acid had approximately the following composition:
- the viscosities of pastes containing 20 and 25% ABS amounted to 239 and 2340 cp., respectively.
- the above-stated viscosities of the other pastes are the viscosities of those preparations from which the products of Examples 8 to 11 were made.
