Definitions
- the present invention relates to a gelatinous or pasty detergent composition contained in a container.
- a powdery detergent is usually bagged or boxed, but it causes problems in handling due to its low apparent specific gravity and it makes transportation cost comparatively high.
- the detergent components essentially include a builder because of functional reason and the builder is in a solid form. Accordingly the liquid detergent has to be in a form of aqueous solution in which the concentration of effective components is about 50 % or less (% means % by weight in this specification unless otherwise specified) so that a uniform composition is obtained, and due to such a restriction there are problems in handling so far.
- An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problem and to provide a detergent composition which is unvoluminous and easy to handle and which has a less tendency to change in quality with a passage of time.
- a detergent composition contained in a tube or a pumping container which is a gelatinous or pasty detergent composition including homogeneous or dispersed mixture of nonionic surface active agent having fluidity at room temperature and at least one member selected from a group consisting of organic sulfonic acid salts and organic sulfuric ester salts.
- a nonionic surface active agent having fluidity at room temperature used in the present invention is a nonionic surface active agent preferably having a viscosity of about 50 to about 2000 poise at room temperature (15° to 25°C).
- any fluidic nonionic surface active agent in accordance with the purposed application and the like of the detergent composition can be selected and used without any limitation as far as it is commonly used for the purpose of emulsification, dispersion, osmosis, washing, solubilization or the like.
- preferable examples thereof are, for instance, adduct of alkylene oxide such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and butylene oxide to active hydrogen compound having 8 to 20 average carbon atoms such as alcohol, alkylphenol, fatty acid and alkylamine; ester of sorbitan, sucrose or the like with fatty acid having 8 or more carbon atoms; and the like.
- alkylene oxide such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and butylene oxide
- active hydrogen compound having 8 to 20 average carbon atoms such as alcohol, alkylphenol, fatty acid and alkylamine
- ester of sorbitan sucrose or the like with fatty acid having 8 or more carbon atoms
- any one kind may be used alone or alternatively two or more kinds may be used together.
- Preferable content of the nonionic surface active agent in the detergent composition is 10 to 60 % and more preferably 25 to 45 %.
- the content lower than 10 % increases the apparent viscosity of gelatinized product and consequently tends to make it difficult to squeeze the detergent composition out of a tube or a pumping container.
- the content higher than 60 % tends to cause a separation at high temperatures.
- the organic sulfonic acid salt and/or organic sulfuric ester salt is a component used as a main component of the detergent agent.
- any organic sulfonic acid salt and/or organic sulfuric ester salt in accordance with the purposed application and the like of the detergent composition can be selected and used without any limitation as far as it is commonly used in a detergent composition for clothes or the like.
- organic sulfonic acid salt such as alkylbenzenesulfonic acid salt, dialkylbenzenesulfonic acid salt, naphthalenesulfonic acid salt and ⁇ -olefinesulfonic acid salt
- organic sulfuric ester salt such as sulfuric ester salt of alcohol and sulfuric ester salt of adduct of ethylene oxide to alcohol
- any one kind may be used alone or alternatively two or more kinds can be used together.
- a use of organic sulfonic acid salt provides an advantageous feature that there can be obtained a detergent composition having improved detergency while a use of organic sulfuric ester salt provides another advantageous feature that there can be obtained a well biodegradable and highly safe detergent composition.
- Preferable content of the organic sulfonic acid salt and/or the organic sulfuric ester salt in the detergent composition is 10 to 60 % and more preferably 25 to 45 %.
- the content lower than 10 % tends to cause insufficient detergency effect.
- the content higher than 60 % tends to provide excessively high viscosity of gelatinized product and consequently it tends to be difficult to obtain soft gel.
- the detergent composition contained in a container in accordance with the present invention may optionally include as occasion demands other additives commonly used as additives for a detergent composition such as surface active agent other than the nonionic surface active agent, the organic sulfonic acid salt or the organic sulfuric ester salt (hereinafter referred to as other surface active agent); builder; enzymes; fluorescent material; peroxide; perfume; solvent; and the like.
- Examples of the above-mentioned other surface active agent are, for instance, soaps such as sodium oleate, sodium laurate, potassium oleate and sodium stearate; amphoteric surface active agent such as AMOGEN K (alkylbetaine amphoteric surface active agent available from DAI-ICHI KOGYO SEIYAKU CO., LTD.); and the like.
- Preferable content thereof in the detergent composition is normally 15 % or lower.
- the builder are, for instance, sodium tripolyphosphate, zeolite, soda ash, sodium polyacrylate and the like.
- Preferable content thereof in the detergent composition is normally 5 to 50 %.
- enzymes which exhibit their inherent enzyme activities in washing process are preferably used.
- examples thereof being classified by enzyme reactivity are, for instance, hydrolases, hydrases, oxidoreductases, desmolases, transferases, isomerases and the like and any of them can be employed in the present invention.
- Hydrases are particularly preferable and detailed examples thereof are protease, esterase, carbohydrase and nuclease.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a gelatinous or pasty detergent composition contained in a container.
- Hitherto, there are used various detergents in various forms such as powder, liquid and the like.
- A powdery detergent is usually bagged or boxed, but it causes problems in handling due to its low apparent specific gravity and it makes transportation cost comparatively high.
- With respect to a liquid detergent on the other hand, the detergent components essentially include a builder because of functional reason and the builder is in a solid form. Accordingly the liquid detergent has to be in a form of aqueous solution in which the concentration of effective components is about 50 % or less (% means % by weight in this specification unless otherwise specified) so that a uniform composition is obtained, and due to such a restriction there are problems in handling so far.
- In the circumstances, there have been under development a gelatinous or pasty detergent composition which has detergent component concentration higher than that of a liquid detergent composition and accordingly is less voluminous and easier to handle than a liquid detergent, and which is a detergent composition contained in a container suitable for washing clothing or the like, but none of such detergent compositions have yet been put into practical use except for that of the present invention.
- An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problem and to provide a detergent composition which is unvoluminous and easy to handle and which has a less tendency to change in quality with a passage of time.
- In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a detergent composition contained in a tube or a pumping container, which is a gelatinous or pasty detergent composition including homogeneous or dispersed mixture of nonionic surface active agent having fluidity at room temperature and at least one member selected from a group consisting of organic sulfonic acid salts and organic sulfuric ester salts.
- Fig. 1 is a plan view of a tube used in the present invention;
- Fig. 2 is a plan view of another tube used in the present invention; and
- Fig. 3 is a sectional view of a pumping container used in the present invention.
- A nonionic surface active agent having fluidity at room temperature used in the present invention is a nonionic surface active agent preferably having a viscosity of about 50 to about 2000 poise at room temperature (15° to 25°C). As the above agent, any fluidic nonionic surface active agent in accordance with the purposed application and the like of the detergent composition can be selected and used without any limitation as far as it is commonly used for the purpose of emulsification, dispersion, osmosis, washing, solubilization or the like. Particularly, preferable examples thereof are, for instance, adduct of alkylene oxide such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and butylene oxide to active hydrogen compound having 8 to 20 average carbon atoms such as alcohol, alkylphenol, fatty acid and alkylamine; ester of sorbitan, sucrose or the like with fatty acid having 8 or more carbon atoms; and the like. With respect to the above-mentioned nonionic surface active agent, any one kind may be used alone or alternatively two or more kinds may be used together.
- Preferable content of the nonionic surface active agent in the detergent composition is 10 to 60 % and more preferably 25 to 45 %. The content lower than 10 % increases the apparent viscosity of gelatinized product and consequently tends to make it difficult to squeeze the detergent composition out of a tube or a pumping container. On the other hand the content higher than 60 % tends to cause a separation at high temperatures.
- The organic sulfonic acid salt and/or organic sulfuric ester salt is a component used as a main component of the detergent agent. As the above salt, any organic sulfonic acid salt and/or organic sulfuric ester salt in accordance with the purposed application and the like of the detergent composition can be selected and used without any limitation as far as it is commonly used in a detergent composition for clothes or the like. Particularly preferable examples thereof are, for instance, organic sulfonic acid salt such as alkylbenzenesulfonic acid salt, dialkylbenzenesulfonic acid salt, naphthalenesulfonic acid salt and α-olefinesulfonic acid salt; organic sulfuric ester salt such as sulfuric ester salt of alcohol and sulfuric ester salt of adduct of ethylene oxide to alcohol; and the like. With respect to the above-mentioned salt, any one kind may be used alone or alternatively two or more kinds can be used together. A use of organic sulfonic acid salt provides an advantageous feature that there can be obtained a detergent composition having improved detergency while a use of organic sulfuric ester salt provides another advantageous feature that there can be obtained a well biodegradable and highly safe detergent composition.
- Preferable content of the organic sulfonic acid salt and/or the organic sulfuric ester salt in the detergent composition is 10 to 60 % and more preferably 25 to 45 %. The content lower than 10 % tends to cause insufficient detergency effect. On the other hand the content higher than 60 % tends to provide excessively high viscosity of gelatinized product and consequently it tends to be difficult to obtain soft gel.
- In addition to the nonionic surface active agent and the organic sulfonic acid salt and/or the organic sulfuric ester salt above-mentioned, the detergent composition contained in a container in accordance with the present invention may optionally include as occasion demands other additives commonly used as additives for a detergent composition such as surface active agent other than the nonionic surface active agent, the organic sulfonic acid salt or the organic sulfuric ester salt (hereinafter referred to as other surface active agent); builder; enzymes; fluorescent material; peroxide; perfume; solvent; and the like.
- Examples of the above-mentioned other surface active agent are, for instance, soaps such as sodium oleate, sodium laurate, potassium oleate and sodium stearate; amphoteric surface active agent such as AMOGEN K (alkylbetaine amphoteric surface active agent available from DAI-ICHI KOGYO SEIYAKU CO., LTD.); and the like. Preferable content thereof in the detergent composition is normally 15 % or lower.
- Examples of the builder are, for instance, sodium tripolyphosphate, zeolite, soda ash, sodium polyacrylate and the like. Preferable content thereof in the detergent composition is normally 5 to 50 %.
- With respect to the enzymes, enzymes which exhibit their inherent enzyme activities in washing process are preferably used. Examples thereof being classified by enzyme reactivity are, for instance, hydrolases, hydrases, oxidoreductases, desmolases, transferases, isomerases and the like and any of them can be employed in the present invention. Hydrases are particularly preferable and detailed examples thereof are protease, esterase, carbohydrase and nuclease. Preferable amount of enzymes in the detergent composition is normally 0.5 to 2.0 %.
- Examples of the fluorescent material are, for instance, 2-(stilphenyl) naphthothiazole derivative, 4,4′-bis(triazole-2-yl) stilbene derivative, bis(triazinylamino) stilbene disulfonic acid derivative, 4,4′-bis(2-sulfostyryl) biphenyl salt, 4,4′-bis(4-chloro-3-sulfostyryl) biphenyl salt and the like. Preferable amount of the fluorescent material in the detergent composition is normally 1.0 to 4.0 %.
- Examples of the peroxide are, for instance, sodium percarbonate and the like. Preferable amount of the peroxide in the detergent composition is normally 1.0 to 4.0 %.
- Further components such as perfume, coloring agent and the like may also be included in the detergent composition and preferable amount thereof in the detergent composition is normally 1.0 to 4.0 %.
- With respect to the solvent, for example there can be used, as the occasion may demand, water, glyceline, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether and the like.
- The detergent composition to be contained in a tube or a pumping container in accordance with the present invention is a gelatinous or pasty composition including homogeneous or dispersed mixture of nonionic surface active agent having fluidity at room temperature and at least one member selected from a group consisting of organic sulfonic acid salts and organic sulfuric ester salts.

Particularly, a composition wherein all components are homogeneously dissolved is preferable because it does not easily cause a separation.
- With respect to a tube or a pumping container to be filled with the detergent composition, there are no particular limitations for material, structure or configuration thereof and there can be used those described below for example.
- Material of the tube may be plastics, metal or the like and there can be used a laminated tube having a wall of plural-layer structure as well as a tube having a wall of single-layer structure. The tube may have a cylindrical configuration having a round or an elliptical cross section for example, and the tube may be equipped with a cap such as a screw cap or unscrew cap. For example, there are preferably used the tube 1 and the
tube 2 respectively illustrated in Fig. 1 (plan view) and Fig. 2 (plan view). - Preferable material of the pumping container may be synthetic resin including polyolefine such as polyethylene or polypropylene; polyethylene terephthalate; and the like. However, under certain circumstances there may also be employed metal or paper suitably processed to prevent the gelatinous or pasty composition from permeating. With respect to the structure and the configuration, the pumping container preferably has a tubular shape like one employed for tooth paste container or the like, for example those disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Publications No. 34641/1979, No. 38783/1981, No. 46572/1981, No. 100378/1981, No. 121677/1981, No. 44041/1982, No. 74168/1982, No. 164079/1982, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publications No. 68367/1982, No. 68368/1982 and the like.

- There are no particular limitations in preparing process of the above-mentioned detergent composition. A preferable preparing process involves a step of neutralization of organic sulfonic acid and/or organic sulfuric ester in the presence of nonionic surface active agent (in this neutralizing step the nonionic surface active agent exhibits liquid behavior), and then there is prepared a homogeneous or dispersed mixture of nonionic surface active agent having fluidity at room temperature and at least one member selected from a group consisting of organic sulfonic acid salts and organic sulfuric ester salts. Thereafter, other optional components are added as occasion demands in accordance with a common procedure to the obtained mixture. This process is preferable because a desired gelatinous or pasty composition can be easily obtained.

- Next there is explained a method of filling a tube or a pumping container with the detergent composition obtained in the above-mentioned manner.
- There are no particular limitations in filling a tube with the detergent composition. For example, there can be employed a method like a common and known method of filling a tube with tooth paste, wherein the gelatinous or pasty detergent composition is put into a filling device comprising a cylinder of a certain capacity, then the composition is introduced into the tube through the unsealed bottom end thereof, and finally the tube bottom end is sealed in accordance with a certain sealing method.

For example, there can be employed a method like a common and known method of filling a pumping container with tooth paste, wherein the gelatinous or pasty detergent composition is put into a filling device comprising a cylinder of a certain capacity, then the composition is introduced into the pumping container through the bottom opening thereof, and finally the container bottom is sealed by means of a certain cover or plug.
- The detergent composition contained in a container in accordance with the present invention is advantageous because it is unvoluminous and easy to handle and because it does not tend to become dry or to cause deterioration of its detergency even in case that it has been stored for a long period. Therefore, the detergent composition of the present invention is especially suitable for application as a pocket type detergent, a detergent for washing small clothes in a bath room or at a washstand, a detergent for partial washing and the like.
