Definitions
- the present invention relates to softening detergent compositions containing a narrowly-defined polyamide softening agent.
- compositions herein in addition to providing good cleaning performance, exhibit excellence through-the-wash softening properties, and provide additional fabric-care benefits such as anti-static, anti-wrinkling, ease-of-ironing, color fidelity and anti-felting of wool.
- Formulators of fabric treatment compositions have long sought means for simultaneously washing and softening fabrics.
- various approaches suggested are methods employing clay softeners, or amine materials, or both ingredients in combination, such as described in e.g.: German Patents 24.39.541, 23.34.899 and European Patents 0 026 528 and 0 028 432.
- Amines have been used in combination with soaps (U.K. patent 1 514 276), fatty acids (published E.P.A. 0 133 804) or phosphate esters (published E.P.A. 0 168 889) as through-the-wash softeners.
- the formulation of the art through-the-wash softening detergent compositions can, however, be subject to flexibility problems which are often due to incompatibility between certain ingredients (between e.g. peroxyacid bleaching agents and softening agents).
- Carboxy-amides have been used as antistatic agents in industrial textile treatment (German patent 30 43 618) and N-alkyl isostearamides as antistatic agents in laundry application (French patent 2,531,447).
- Japanese patent J5 8144-175-A discloses the industrial treatment of textile by cationic softening agents and ethoxylated fatty acid amides.
- Diamides having as a substituent long chain alkyl groups are described in EP-A-87 233, EP-A-94 250 and EP-A-258 500, published in 09.03.88.
- Alkoxylated fatty amides are known as surfactants (EP-A-0 000 595) and as viscosity control agents (EP-A-0 112 719).
- German Patent Application 19 59 007 discloses the use as softening agent of a monoethanolamide.
- German Patent Application 33 10 417 discloses the use of fatty acids diethanolamides as antistatic/non-yellowing agents.

- the softening agents for use in the present invention are selected from the amides or sulfonamides of the formulas i) to iv) disclosed hereinabove.
- R1, R2, R3, R4 in formula iii) or iv) are all selected from tallow and coconut alkyl groups.
- Preferred compounds have the formula ii) with R5 being either a C1 ⁇ 5 alkylene or alkenylene group, or a phenylene or substituted phenylene group.
- R5 is an alk(en)ylene group
- preferred compounds include the tetra-coconut and tetra-tallow diamides derived from the following carboxylic acids : malonic, succinic, maleic, glutaric, adipic.
- An especially preferred compound of above category is tetracoconut adipamide.

- R5 is a phenylene or substituted phenylene group
- preferred compounds are tetra-tallow terephtalic diamide and tetracoconut terephtalic diamide.
- a preferred polyaromatic group for R5 is biphenylene.
- the softening agent is generally used at levels of from 0.1% to 15% by weight, preferably from 1% to 10% by weight, most preferably from 3% to 6% by weight.
- the softening agent is pre-mixed (predispersed) with a dispersing agent, and the resulting mixture is then added to the rest of the composition.
- any conventional dispersing agent can be used for that purpose.
- fatty acids are used as dispersing agents for the amide softener.
- Fatty acids having from 10 to 20 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain like lauric, myristic, palmitic, stearic, oleic acids and mixtures thereof can advantageously be used in the present context. Especially preferred is a mixture of palmitic and stearic acids.
- Fatty acid dispersing agents are used most preferably in a weight ratio of 1/1 to 10/1 of amide softening agent to fatty acid.
- compositions of this invention will typically contain organic surface-active agents ("surfactants”) to provide the usual cleaning benefits associated with the use of such materials.

- the liberated hydrogen peroxide reacts with the bleach activator to form the peroxyacid bleach.
- Classes of bleach activators include esters, imides, imidazoles, oximes, and carbonates.
- preferred materials include methyl o-acetoxy benzoates; sodium-p-acetoxy benzene sulfonates such as sodium 4-nonanoyloxybenzene sulfonate; sodium-4-octanoyloxybenzene sulfonate, and sodium-4-decanoyloxybenzenesulfonate: bisphenol A diacetate; tetra acetyl ethylene diamine; tetra acetyl hexamethylene diamine; tetra acetyl methylene diamine.
- alpha-substituted alkyl or alkenyl esters such as sodium-4(2-chlorooctanolyloxy)benzene sulfonate, sodium 4-(3,5,5-trimethyl hexanoyloxy)benzene sulfonate.
- Suitable peroxyacids are also peroxygen bleach activators such as described in published European Patent Application N o 0 166 571, i.e., compounds of the general type RXAOOH and RXAL, wherein R is a hydroxycarbyl group, X is a hetero-atom, A is a carbonyl bridging group and L is a leaving group, especially oxybenzenesulfonate.
- compositions herein may contain alternatively any other type of bleaching agent, conventionally used in detergent compositions.
- through-the-wash detergent compositions contain a detergent builder and/or metal ion sequenstrant.
- detergent builders include the nitrilotriacetates, polycarboxylates, citrates, water-soluble phosphates such as tri-polyphosphate and sodium ortho- and pyro-phosphates, silicates, and mixtures thereof.
- Metal ion sequestrants include all of the above, plus materials like ethylenediaminetetraacetate, the amino-polyphosphonates and phosphates (DEQUEST®) and a wide variety of other poly-functional organic acids and salts too numerous to mention in detail here. See U.S. Patent 3.579.454 for typical examples of the use of such materials in various cleaning compositions. In general, the builder/sequestrant will comprise 0.5% to 45% of the composition.
- the 1-10 ⁇ m size zeolite (e.g. zeolite A) builders disclosed in German Patent 24 22 655 are especially preferred for use in low-phosphate or non-phosphate compositions.
- the laundry compositions herein also preferably contain enzymes to enhance their through-the-wash cleaning performance on a variety of soils and stains, such as amylase, protease, cellulase enzymes.

- the compositions are typically used at a concentration of at least 500 ppm, preferrably 0.10% to 1.5%, in an aqueous laundry bath at pH 7-11 to launder fabrics.
- the laundering can be carried out over the range from 5°C to the boil, with excellent results.
- the detergent compositions of this invention can be present in any suitable physical state inclusive of granular, liquid, pasty, or sheet-like form. They may be prepared in any way, as appropriate to their physical form, by mixing the components, co-agglomerating them, micro-encapsulating them, dispersing them in a liquid carrier, and releasably adsorbing or coating them onto a non-particulate substrate, such as a non-woven or paper sheet.
- compositions are in granular form.
- a preferred method of preparation of said granular compositions consists in preparing a melt of the dispersing agent and the amide, dispersing the molten mixture into a stirred, aqueous crutcher mix comprising the balance of the detersive ingredients, and spray-drying in standard fashion.
- the melt can be atomized onto the detergent granules.
- the compositions herein may also be sprayed onto particles of, e.g., sodium perborate mono or tetrahydrate, sodium sulfate, sodium carbonate, sodium silicate, sodium phosphate, or clay of the type described above.
- a mix of tetracoconut terepthalic diamide (total 5% of complete formulation after spray-on) and lauric acid (1.5% of complete formulation) are admixed, melted and stirred until homogeneity.
- a standard aqueous crutcher mix comprising the following ingredients is prepared (percentages listed relate to percent ingredients in the complete formulation after spray-drying).
- the crutcher mix is then handled in entirely standard fashion, and spray-dried. After drying, sodium perborate (20%) and bleach activator (3% 3-5-5-trimethyl hexanoic acid, sulfaphenyl ester, sodium salt***) (3%) are dry-mixed with the granules. The tetracoconut terephtalic diamide/lauric acid melt is then sprayed onto the finished product.
- Example 1 The composition of Example 1 was compared for through-the-wash softness vs. an identical composition which did not contain the tetracoconut terepthalic diamide/lauric acid premix (reference).
- the design of the test was such as to compare softness of textile pieces laundered 1 time (monocycle) and 4 times (multi-cycle) with invention and reference composition.
- the testing conditions were as follows:
- a low-P spray-dried detergent formulation is a follows :
- Example 2 The composition of Example 2 is prepared in the manner described for Example 1.
- the composition of Example 2 provides better softness than the composition wherein the amide/lauric acid complex has been replaced by additional sodium sulfate.
