Definitions

  • the builders are comprised of water-soluble salts of cotelomers or copolymers of vinyl alcohol with maleic acid.
  • the present invention provides builders foridetcrgen't and cleaning agents, the builders comprising organic polymer compounds.
  • V y s theeffect onlthefs'urface and interfacial properties" (if aqueous surfactant" solutions; the solubilization of waterinsoluble ingredients of the cleaning bath; the pepti zati'on of agglomerat'e d dirt; the neutralization of acid-substances; and the inactivation of mineral matter in the cleaning bath.
  • Classical builders comprise water-soluble inorganic alkali metal salts, such as alkali metal carbonates, borates, phosphates, polyphosphates, bicarbonates, and silicates.
  • liquid detergent formulations may be Claims 3,793,228 Patented Feb. 19, 1974 1 rendered turbid, or precipitation may occur therein, which is undesirable.
  • watersoluble alkali metal, ammonium and substituted ammonium salts of homopolymers and copolymers of aliphaticpolycarboxylic acids be used as builders in detergent and cleaning compositions.
  • the comonomers include primarly short chain olefins and unsaturated carboxylic acids.
  • Representatives of these builders, which are termed polyelectrolyte builders, include for example, the sodium salt of polymaleic acid or copolymers of propylene or styrene with maleic acid. These builders either have no satisfactory builder properties or are too costly for mass production.
  • the present invention now unexpectedly provides watersoluble'salts of cotelomers or copolymers of vinyl alcohol withymaleic-acid, which can be used with particular advantage as buildersin detergent and cleaning compositions.
  • Me stands for an alkali metal or ammonium ion
  • n is a whole number within a range of which the lower limit is 3 and of which the upper limit is defined by the solubility of the polymer in water
  • the copolymer builders have a preferred molecular weight of between 1,500 and 3,000.
  • the maleic acid fraction in the copolymer or cotelomer should preferably be limited to a value of between about 25 and 50 mol percent.
  • the copolymer builders of the present invention into conventional detergent and cleaning agent formulations, such as those which are based on ionactive and/ or non-ionic surfactants, and which may op- 3 tionally be used in combination with further addends
  • the builder is generally used in a proportion of between about 10 and 80 Weight percent, preferably between about 15 and 60 weight percent, based on the drysubstance of the detergent and cleaning agent.
  • the detergent and cleaning agents may contain an alkali metal polyphosphate as a further builder.
  • Detergent and cleaning compositions prepared in accordance with the present invention give a pH-value of between 8 and 12 in the aqueous medium of the wash bath. I
  • the addends which may be present together with the ion-active and/or non-ionic surfactants in the detergent formulation, comprise substances, such as sodium silicate, magnesium silicate, sodium sulfate, sodiumf'perborate, optical brighteners, carboxymethyl cellulose and/ or enzymes, for example.
  • the builders of the present invention are produced in conventional manner, for example, by subjecting a copolymer or telomer of maleic anhydride and vinyl acetate to saponification by means of a sodium hydroxide solution.
  • the properties of the builders of the persent invention can be evaluated, for example, in dispersing tests. Starting with an aqueous suspension, which contained either hydrophilic particles, such as iron (III) oxide, or hydrophobic particles, for example graphite particles, it was possible by the addition of the builders of the present invention to produce stable dispersions. This is demonstrated in the table hereinafter. As results from the tabulated test results, the builder substances of the present invention can be said to have the properties required of a builder. On comparing Table 1 with Table 2, it will readily be seen that hydrophilic dirt particles are particularly well dispersed by a vinyl alcohol/maleate cotelomer.
  • EXAMPLE 1 The sodium salt of a vinyl alcohol/melic acid copolymer was tested as to its dispersing effect in an aqueous suspension of 4 weight percent graphite powder at various pH-values, and the eifect produced was compared with that produced by a conventional styrene/maleic acid copolymer builder, in a corresponding suspension.
  • the settling time of the graphite particles in 25 cc. mixing cylinders, and the volume of sedimentation were determined in each case as an index of the dispersing effect.
  • the builder was used in the suspension in a concentration of 0.1 weight percent, based on the aqueous solution. Th results obtained are summarized in Table 1 below.
  • the wash water had a hardness of 20 (German degrees of hardness) and a pH of 10.
  • the wash period was 30 minutes and the bath ratio, expressed by the ratio of material to be washed in kg. to wash liquor in liter was 1:50, and the wash operation was carried out in the presence of 10 steel balls.
  • the wash liquor contained a alkylaryl sulfonate as a surface-active substance as well as Pluronic which is a non-ionic polyoxypropylene glykol.
  • the cleansing power quotient was calculated along the following formula:
  • Percent WG Percent whiteness of unwashed fabric
  • Percent WG Percent whiteness of unsoiled fabric
  • Me stands for an alkali metal or ammonium ion
  • n is a whole number with a range of which the lower limit is 3 and of which the upper limit is defined by the solubility of the polymer in water.
  • a detergent composition according to claim 1 producing a pH value of between 8 and 12 in an aqueous wash or cleaning liquor.
