Definitions
- the present invention relates to a shaped solid cleaning composition and a method of cleaning a substrate, in particular a fabric substrate.
- Two-step reactive cleaning methods involving contacting of a fabric with two reactive components in succession in an aqueous media are known.
- one of the reactive components comprises fatty acid and/or other acidic materials and the other component comprises alkaline material.
- GB338121 (Marquardt and Walter, 1930) describes a process of washing by adding together or one after another two components to the wash where the first component comprises saponifiable fatty acids such as oleic acid, palmitic acid, or stearic acid and the second component comprises alkaline saponifying agents such as sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydroxide.
- saponifiable fatty acids such as oleic acid, palmitic acid, or stearic acid
- alkaline saponifying agents such as sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydroxide.
- FR1460904 (Kornbaum Simon, 1966) describes a process of washing in which aqueous emulsion of saponifiable fatty acids is combined with the alkaline wash solution.
- Fatty acids are preferably selected from oleic acid or low-melting fatty acid mixture and emulsifying agent is a low HLB nonionic surfactant.
- GB333177 (Rayner, 1930) describes a process of washing consisting of successively treating the material to be washed with a dilute emulsion of saponifiable fatty acids and with a dilute alkali to generate soap in-situ.
- GB501422 (Pollard, 1939) describes a process for washing articles with a fatty acid component and an alkali component where the aqueous fatty acid emulsion comprises methyl cyclohexanol.
- emulsifying agents in the above cited prior art increases cost without providing any additional cleaning benefit. Stability of such emulsions, particularly at relatively low temperatures is another problem which manifests in de-emulsification at temperature below freezing point. Furthermore, application of emulsions to fabric is relatively less convenient and leads to wastage as emulsion disperses in the aqueous medium particularly when mechanical force is applied in cleaning, causing the reactive components to react away from the fabric surface in the aqueous medium rather than in-situ on or near the fabric surface.
- EP11767501 (Procter and Gamble, 2002) describes a process of washing a fabric by successively treating the fabric, in any order, with a first component and a second component which are capable of generating heat upon contact.
- the components are selected such that contact of the components is a part of an exothermic process of either a physical or a chemical nature and results in generation of heat.
- a list of exothermic processes is given and includes dissolution of organic/inorganic salts, oxidation/reduction, hydration of substantially anhydrous compounds and acid/base reactions.
- the acids, whether organic or inorganic are preferably strong acids with pKa less than 4, or more preferably less than 2.

- Particularly preferred inorganic alkaline material is selected from carbonate, bicarbonate, phosphate or hydroxide of an alkali metal. Amongst alkali metals, sodium is particularly preferred.
- the most preferred alkaline material is selected from sodium carbonate, sodium thpolyphosphate or mixture thereof.
- the alkaline cleaning medium comprises by weight preferably from 0.01 % to 20%, more preferably form 0.1 % to 15 % and most preferably from 2 to 10% of an alkaline ingredient.
- Most of the commercially available detergent compositions typically comprise one or more alkaline ingredients and when such detergent compositions are added to water, the resulting mixture may be used as an alkaline cleaning medium.
- Fatty acid, polyhydric alcohol binder, and surfactant were mixed in amounts according to the required composition and heated to 80° C with continuous stirring to prepare molten fatty acid adjunct.
- the mixture was transferred to a cylindrical stick mould.
- the mould with the filled mixture was cooled to about 5 0 C in a refrigerator to solidify the mixture into a stick.
- the sticks were removed from the mould for further experiments. Cylindrical sticks of diameter of about 2 cm and height of about 8 cm were obtained. Evaluation of stick properties Mechanical Strength
- Mechanical strength of the shaped solid cleaning composition was qualitatively determined and rated on a scale from 0 to 2 with higher rating indicating better mechanical properties as given below.
- Transferability of the stick on Fabric was measured gravimetrically after 15 rubs of the stick on 10x10 cm 2 fabric swatches.
- the stick was applied to fabric in a manner similar to use of chalk on a blackboard.
- the stick was applied to the fabric by rubbing to transfer solid composition from the stick to the fabric. After applying 15 rubs on the swatch, gravimetric measurements were made and transferability was expressed as mg of the composition transferred per cm2 are of the fabric on the basis of 4 replicates.
- Cotton fabric swatches (size 10 cm x 10 cm, weighing about 1 g) were desized by soaking them overnight in a 3:1 mixture of chloroform and methanol, followed by two hot water washes in 3 g/L of commercially available detergent powder SURF Excel®
- Triolein 50 ml_ was mixed with 4 mg each of C-soot and F ⁇ 3 ⁇ 4 and the mixture was sonicated in an ultrasonic bath for two and a half hours to prepare a composite soil.
- Sodium carbonate (1 part) was dissolved in 1000 parts water to prepare alkaline cleaning medium. Fabrics were soaked in an alkaline cleaning medium for about 30 minutes at liquor to cloth ratio of about 50. After soaking, the fabrics were washed in the same alkaline cleaning medium at a liquor to cloth ratio of about 50 by using a tergotometer operating at rpm of about 90 for 15 minutes followed by 3 rinses of 2 minutes each in water.
- Reflectance measurements Cleaning efficacy was evaluated by measurement of reflectance using Gretag Macbeth Colour Eye 7000A. Initial reflectance of unsoiled cotton swatch was measured. Reflectance was also measured after soiling (AS) and after washing the soiled fabric (AW). Reflectance measurements were based on 5 replicates.
- compositions were prepared.
- the composition details, mechanical strength and lransferabiiity Io fabric are tabulated below along with the cleaning efficacy measured by following the protocol described above.
- the sticks with composition according to the present invention (Ex No 1 , 2 and 3) have good mechanicai strength and good transfer characteristics on fabric, and when used for cieaning according to the process of the present invention, provide good cleaning efficacy whilst the stick compositions outside the scope of the present invention (Comparative Ex A, B and C) lack mechanical strength and can not be easily appiied to fabric.
- composition of Comparative Example D was identical to the composition of Example
- Example 1 Cleaning was carried out using a method identical to that of Example 1 .
- composition of Comparative Ex No D resulted into formation of solid lump and could not be molded and was difficult to transfer on fabric. Cleaning efficiency was measured where the composition of Comparative Ex No D was added to the aqueous cleaning medium. It can be seen that cleaning method of present invention (Ex 1 ) provided better cleaning efficacy as compared with cleaning with soap composition (Comparative Example D).
- Example 4 and E were similar to Example 1 in all respects except in the type of fatty acid used.
- the composition details along wilh specific fatly used and its melting point, mechanical strength, transferabillty to fabric and cleaning efficacy are tabulated below. Details of Ex 1 are retabulated for convenience.
- stick composition comprising fatty acid having melting point greater than 20° C (Ex 1 and Ex 4) have better mechanical properties as compared to stick composition comprising fatty acid having melting point less than 15 20° C (Comparative Ex E).
- compositions comprised 65% by weight of fatty acid instead of 70% by weight fatty acid. Instead, the compositions comprised 5% by weight of a carboxylic acid or polycarboxylic acid according to details tabulated below.
