Description

DESCRIPTION
Mold Remover Product
Technical Field
This invention is concerned with a mold remover product of peroxide type with excellent effects without an irritating odor and exhibiting excellent mold-removing and cleansing activities. The mold remover product of this invention is used to bleach mold that grows on the surfaces of household walls or furnishings.
Background Art
In bleaching mold that grows on household walls or furnishings, chlorine-type bleach has been used with the main component of sodium hypochlorite. However, the chlorine-type bleach is fraught with problems such as inducing unpleasant sensation to the user because of the specific odor of molecular chlorine generated and also the danger of poisoning the user by chlorine gas even if an excellent bleach activity is shown.
Furthermore, there is a possibility of the production of organic chlorine compounds from the chlorine-type bleach. Therefore, there has been demand to develop bleach without using chlorine- type compounds from the viewpoint of prevention of environmental pollution.
In order to remove stains from household walls or furnishings, particularly on the washbasin in the kitchen, on bathroom walls and on ceilings or tile joints [sic; grout], it is necessary to use a product with excellent activity of removing or bleaching mold, because stains at such places are composed of mold. However, mold exhibits strong resistance to bleaches that are generally used and it is extremely difficult to carry out complete bleaching on mold compared to the ease of bleaching fibers and others. Only weak bleaching activity is exerted on mold by bleaches of the peroxide type such as hydrogen peroxide, inorganic peroxides and organic peroxides. The complete bleaching of mold has been impossible by the use of such products.
Various proposals have been made to improve the bleaching activity of peroxide-type bleach products. Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. [Sho]-61-42600 described how peroxide- type bleaches can be used with activating agents such as glucose pentaacetate, tetraacetylethylenediamine, tetraacetylglycoluril and cyanamide. However, there are problems with the use of such activators in that the products were not sufficiently strong in bleaching mold and in that products with an irritating odor were produced by reaction with hydrogen peroxide.
Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. [Sho]-52-110287 described a bleach product composed of peroxide and cyanamide and/or a metal cyanamide to be used for bleaching fiber material, but the bleaching activity is not sufficient with mold. U.S. Patent No. 3,756,774 described a bleach product composed of peroxide and organic cyanide at pH 4-7 to be used for bleaching fiber material, but the bleaching activity is not sufficient with mold. Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. [Sho]-62-1790 described a mold-removing product composed of peroxide and silicone oil and/or an emulsion thereof, but the bleaching activity is not sufficient with mold. Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. [Sho]-62-149800 described the use of an alkali metal salt of cyanic acid as the activator of peroxide, but there is no description on the bleaching of mold.
Disclosure of Invention
This invention offers a mold-removing product with excellent bleaching activity on mold that grows on household walls or furnishings, especially mold on the washbasin in the kitchen, on the bathroom walls and ceilings and on tile joints without an irritating odor. Also, a method is offered for the bleaching of mold.
After intensive studies, we discovered that a markedly enhanced bleaching activity was achieved on mold by the product containing a salt of cyanic acid and hydrogen peroxide at a specific pH without being accompanied by an irritating odor. The present invention is the result of this discovery. As component (A) of this invention, we use hydrogen peroxide or a peroxide that produces hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solution. In particular, an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide is preferably used. In the product of this invention, components (A) is used at 0.5-60 wt% in general, preferably at 0.5-30 wt%, most preferably at 0.5-10 wt%, or practically at 1-6 wt% in terms of hydrogen peroxide.
As a peroxide to produce hydrogen peroxide in water, one can use a compound that is an adduct of hydrogen peroxide. As the compound that is an adduct of hydrogen peroxide, one can cite the sodium carbonate adduct of hydrogen peroxide at the molar ratio of 2:3 or sodium perborate hydrate or tetrahydrate. When a compound that is an adduct of hydrogen peroxide is used, the amount used must be such that the hydrogen peroxide produced therefrom is within the range of concentration cited above.
As the alkali metal salt of cyanic acid or ammonium salt of cyanic acid as component (B), one can cite potassium cyanate, sodium cyanate and ammonium cyanate, and one can use one or more such compounds. The content of component (B) in the product of this invention is 0.2-30 wt%, preferably 0.5-10 wt%, or most preferably 0.5-5 wt%. A commercially available salt of cyanic acid in solid form can be used.
The content of peroxide as component (A) in the mold remover product of this invention is 0.5-60 wt% in general, preferably 0.5-30 wt%, or more preferably 0.5-10 wt%, or most preferably in practice 1-6 wt%. The content of the salt of cyanic acid as component (B) is 0.2-30 wt%, preferably 0.5-10 wt%, or most preferably 0.5-5 wt%. If the content of component (A) or (B) is less than these ranges, the bleaching activity becomes too low. If the content of component (A) or (B) is more than these ranges, the handling becomes difficult as the product for mold remover.
The pH is important in the mold remover product of this invention to achieve excellent bleaching activity. The pH is usually 7-13, or preferably 8-13, or most preferably 9.0-12.4.
If pH of the product is less than this range, the bleaching activity becomes weak. If it is more than this range, the peroxide compound becomes unstable, so that it is difficult to handle as a mold-removing product.
It is preferable to use alkali metal hydroxide or alkali metal silicate salt in order to adjust pH of the mold remover product of this invention within the aforementioned range. As the alkali metal hydroxide or alkali metal silicate salt, one can use the hydroxide of an alkali metal, such as lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, and the silicate salt of an alkali metal, such as sodium silicate and potassium silicate. It is preferable to use an alkali metal silicate salt such as sodium silicate or potassium silicate, as the bleaching activity is markedly improved.
The content of alkali metal hydroxide or alkali metal silicate salt is in the range of 0.01-10 wt%, so that the pH of the mold remover product lies within the aforementioned range. If the sodium carbonate adduct of hydrogen peroxide or sodium perborate is used as the source of hydrogen peroxide, the aqueous solution of these compounds are alkaline by themselves, so that the amount of the alkali metal hydroxide or alkali metal silicate salt used can be reduced.
The mold remover product of this invention is prepared by dissolving (A) hydrogen peroxide or a compound that is an adduct of hydrogen peroxide and (B) an alkali metal salt of cyanic acid or ammonium salt of cyanic acid in water. The mold remover product of this invention can be a homogeneous aqueous solution or a slurry. The water content in the mold remover product of this invention is 40-99 wt%, preferably 50-98 wt%, or most preferably 60-97 wt% with respect to the whole product.
It is preferable to add surfactant as well to the mold remover product of this invention. As such a surfactant, one can cite polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters and amine oxides as nonionic surfactants, or soaps, alkyl sulfate salts and alkylbenzenesulfonate salts as anionic surfactants. It is preferable to add the surfactant at 0.1-5 wt% in the mold remover product. By the addition of surfactant, permeation of the mold remover product into the mold is accelerated, resulting in enhanced effectiveness in the bleaching, washing and removal of mold.
The mold remover product of this invention is used as a solution or as a slurry to be applied by spraying or by coating on the surface of household walls or furnishings that have mold. By this method, it is possible to bleach mold effectively.
