Definitions
- This invention relates to no-rinse hard surface cleaners which are mildly acidic and contain an amine oxide detergent surfactant. These compositions will effectively clean hard surfaces without leaving a visible residue when they dry and they will cause minimal or no staining of vinyl surfaces.
- the invention also relates to a process for cleaning vinyl surfaces using the compositions.
- amine oxide detergent surfactants are well known. Amine oxides are most commonly used as cosurfactants to boost and maintain suds formation in laundry, shampoo, and dishwashing detergent compositions. Amine oxides have occasionally been used in hard surface cleaners such as acidic toilet bowl cleaners (pH of 2 or less), dishwashing liquids containing occlusive emollients (pH of 4 to 6.9), and selected non-acidic (neutral to alkaline) hard surface cleaners. In non-acidic hard surface cleaners, amine oxide detergent surfactants are essentially non-ionic (pK a between about 4 and about 6 ). These nonionic amine oxides provide good cleaning properties and leave little or no visible residue on hard surfaces when they dry.
- non-acidic hard surface cleaners containing amine oxides will stain or discolor vinyl (polyvinyl chloride) surfaces.
- the staining amounts to a light yellow to dark brown discoloration of the vinyl. Staining will also occur on waxed vinyl surfaces where areas of wax are worn thin or are chipped away so that the amine oxide can come in direct contact with the vinyl.
- the present invention relates to mildly acidic, liquid hard surface cleaning compositions comprising from about 1% to about 50% of an amine oxide detergent surfactant, an aqueous carrier liquid, and an acidifying agent having a pK a of below about 6.0.
- the compositions contain the acidifying agent in an amount sufficient to establish a composition pH of between about 3 and 7 and in an amount sufficient to protonate at least about 10% of the amine oxide detergent surfactant in the composition.
- the present invention also embodies a non-liquid formulation from which the liquid composition can be derived.
- the non-liquid formulation is essentially the liquid composition wherein the amount of the aqueous carrier liquid is reduced (e.g., gel) or eliminated (e.g., granules).
- the present invention relates to a method for cleaning vinyl surfaces using the liquid compositions herein.
- the liquid compositions are applied in diluted or undiluted form to a vinyl surface.
- the diluted compositions have a pH of between about 3 and 7 and comprise from about 0.02% to about 0.2% of the amine oxide detergent surfactant, at least about 10% of which is protonated.
- the diluted or undiluted liquid compositions are applied to a vinyl surface, wiped with a porous material, and allowed to dry.
- the liquid compositions can be used as no-rinse hard surface cleaners on floors, walls, etc. It was found that non-acidic liquid cleaning compositions containing amine oxides will stain vinyl surfaces. The liquid compositions of the present invention, however, will cause minimal or no vinyl staining. Moreover, the liquid compositions have excellent cleaning properties and will leave little or no visible residue when they dry.
- FIG. 1 is a graph which shows the cleaning and residue profiles of several hard surface cleaners.
- the horizontal axis represents residue profiles based on a 0.0 (extremely visible residue) to 5.0 (no visible residue) scale.
- the vertical axis represents cleaning profiles (paniculate soil removal) based on the percentage of soil removed via testing methods described hereinafter.
- Points A-E on the graph represent these profiles for commercially available hard surface cleaners.
- Point F represents these profiles for a composition of the present invention.
- the liquid compositions of the present invention comprise three key elements: 1) an amine oxide detergent surfactant, 2) an acidifying agent, and 3) an aqueous carrier liquid.
- the liquid compositions can be used in diluted or undiluted form on hard surfaces.
- "mildly acidic” means a pH of between about 3.0 and 7.0. All pH values herein are measured in aqueous systems at 25°C (77°F).
- non-liquid means granular, powder or gel formulations which can be diluted with the aqueous carrier liquid described hereinafter to produce a mildly acidic liquid hard surface cleaning composition of the present invention.
- liquid compositions mean the mildly acidic, liquid hard surface cleaning compositions of the present invention, or aqueous dilutions thereof.
- compositions comprise an amine oxide detergent surfactant which typically has a pK a of from about 4 to about 6. As described hereinafter, at least about 10% of the amine oxide species within the composition must be in cationic (protonated) form.
- compositions comprise from about 1% to about 50%, preferably from about 2% to about 30%, more preferably from about 2.5% to about 25%, of an amine oxide detergent surfactant.
- the amine oxide preferably has the formula RRTTNO, where R is a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl or alkene group containing from about 8 to about 30, preferably from about 8 to about 18, carbon atoms.
- Groups R' and R" are each substituted or unsubstituted alkyl or alkene groups containing from about 1 to about 18, preferably from about 1 to about 4, carbon atoms.
- R' and R" are each methyl groups, examples of which include dodecyldimethyl amine oxide, tetradecyldimethyl amine oxide, hexadecyldimethyl amine oxide, octadecyldimethyl amine oxide, and coconutalkyldimethyl amine oxides.
- the amine oxide detergent surfactant can be prepared by known and conventional methods.
- One such method involves the oxidation of tertiary amines in the manner set forth in U. S. Patent No. 3,223,647 and British Patent 437,566.
- amine oxides are prepared by the controlled oxidation of the corresponding tertiary amines.
- Suitable amine oxide detergent surfactants for use in the compositions include dodecyldimethyl amine oxide, tridecyldimethyl amine oxide, tetradecyldimethyl amine oxide, pentadecyldimethyl amine oxide, hexadecyldimethyl amine oxide, heptadecyldimethyl amine oxide, octadecyldimethyl amine oxide, docecyldiethyl amine oxide, tetradecyldimethyl amine oxide, hexadecyldiethyl amine oxide, octadecyldiethyl amine oxide, dodecyldipropyl amine oxide, tetradecyldipropyl amine oxide, hexadecyldipropyl amine oxide, octadecyldipropyl amine oxide, dodecyldibutyl amine oxide,
- amine oxide detergent surfactants which are prepared by the oxidation of tertiary amines prepared from mixed alcohols obtainable from coconut oil. Such coconutalkyl amine oxides are preferred from an economic standpoint inasmuch as it is not necessary for the present purposes, to separate the mixed alcohol fractions into their pure components to secure the pure chain length fractions of the amine oxides.
- Acidifying Agent It was found that amine oxide staining of vinyl surfaces can be reduced or eliminated by using certain acidifying agents in the liquid composition. These acidifying agents are used to protonate a minimum percentage of amine oxide species in the liquid composition. It was also found that these protonated or cationic amine oxides species reduce (i.e., at 10% protonation) or eliminate (i.e., at 90-100% protonation) staining thus increasing the lifetime of the vinyl surface.
- the composition herein comprises an acidifying agent having a pK a of below about 6.0, preferably below about 5.0, more preferably below about 4.0.
- a pK a of below about 6.0, preferably below about 5.0, more preferably below about 4.0.
- its pK a should be less than that of the selected amine oxide, preferably from about 2 to about 3 units less, to provide for maximum protonation of the amine oxide species in the compositions.
- the acidifying agent can contain organic acids, inorganic acids, or mixtures thereof.
- Preferred inorganic acids are H2SO4, HC1, HNO3, H3PO4 , HCIO3 and mixtures thereof.
- Preferred organic acids are methane sulfonic acid, oxalic acid, glycerolphosphoric acid, ethylenediamine tetracetic acid (EDTA), diethy- lenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA), maleic acid, mellitic acid, brucine tretrahydrate, benzenepentacarboxylic acid, pyromellitic acid, malonic acid, salicylic acid, hemimellitic acid, l,4-piperazinebis-(ethanesulfonic) acid, tartaric acid, fumaric acid, citric acid, o-phthalic acid, trimesic acid, dimethymalonic acid, mandelic acid, malic acid, 1,1-cyclohexanediacetic acid, 2-methyl
- the acidifying agent is more preferably selected from the group of phosphoric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, o-phthalic acid, and mixtures thereof. Most preferred are phosphoric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and mixtures thereof.
- the liquid compositions contain enough of the acidifying agent to establish a composition pH of between about 3.0 and 7.0, preferably between about 4.0 and about 6.0, more preferably between about 4.0 and about 5.5.
- Liquid amine oxide compositions employed on hard surfaces at a pH of less than 3.0 tend to harm surface waxes, and when employed at a pH of 7.0 or above will cause excessive staining of vinyl surfaces.
- the liquid compositions must also contain enough of the acidifying agent to protonate at least about 10% of the amine oxide species within the composition, preferably between about 50% and about 100%, more preferably between about 90% and 100%.
- protonated refers to cationic amine oxide species containing a quaternary ammonium group.
- the protonation or conversion of nonionic to cationic amine oxides is represented generally by the reaction formula
- the concentration of the selected acid in the liquid compositions will typically be between about 0.005% and about 5%, more typically between about 0.005% and about 3% by weight of the liquid composition. Acid concentrations will vary depending on the pK a of the amine oxide, the pK a of the selected acidifying agent, the desired target pH of the composition, and the chemical characteristics of other materials in the composition. Since the inorganic acids tend to have lower pK a values than the organic acids, target pH values are more easily reached with the inorganic acids.
- Organic acids are less preferred in the composition because target pH values are more difficult to reach with higher pK a acids and because they tend to increase composition viscosity making them less desirable for handling and processing reasons.
- Inorganic acids can be combined with the weaker organic acids to more easily reach the target pH and to better control composition viscosity.
- the liquid compositions can be used in diluted or undiluted form on hard surfaces.
- the compositions will typically be diluted with an aqueous liquid, usually tap water, prior to use.
- the compositions comprise from about 0.02% to about 0.2%, preferably from about 0.04% to about 0.1%, of the amine oxide detergent surfactant.
- the liquid composition employed on hard surfaces must have the requisite composition pH and amine oxide protonation described herein.
- the requisite pH of the composition is maintained by the amine oxide component.
- Amine oxide detergent surfactants normally have an adequate buffering capacity in the pH range described herein. Even when diluted with tap water, the amine oxide component can normally maintain the composition pH below 7.0. Additional buffers can be added if necessary to help maintain acidity. Such buffers are not usually necessary.
- the vinyl staining described herein comes from the dehydrochlorination of polyvinyl chloride surfaces. It is believed that this dehydrochlorination reaction is accelerated by nonacidic amine oxide compositions. This accelerated dehydrochlorination is represented by the reaction formula
- Dehydrochlorinated polyvinyl chloride has a yellow to brown appearance, depending on the degree of dehydrochlorination. This dehydrochlorination is believed to be accelerated by nonionic amine oxide species occasionally found in nonacidic liquid hard surface cleaners. By protonating the amine oxide to the extent described herein, and by maintaining an acidic environment, the rate of dehydrochlorination is greatly reduced and vinyl staining is reduced or eliminated. In the liquid compositions herein, the protonated amine oxides form ion pairs with the deprotonated acidifying agents. These ion pairs are much less reactive in dehydrochlorination reactions and do not penetrate vinyl surfaces as readily as nonionic amine oxide species.
- Table 1 The data summarized in Table 1 shows that mildly acidic, liquid amine oxide compositions of the present invention cause little or no staining when used on vinyl tiles.
- composition K-X was a 1: 128 dilution of a liquid concentrate with a pH of between about 4.0 and about 5.0. After dilution, each composition as applied to the tiles had a pH of between about 5.4 and 5.5. Each diluted composition therefore consisted of water, coconut dimethyl amine oxide, and a specific acidifying agent. Composition K was the control product. It had a pH of about 8.0.
- compositions L-R were mildly acidic amine oxide compositions where 90- 100% of the amine oxide species were protonated with acidifying agents having pK a values below about 3.0. Compositions L-R caused little or no vinyl staining.
- compositions S-X contained weaker acids (pK a values above about 3.0) which caused only light to moderate staining. Note however, that all of the mildly acidic compositions (L-X) caused significantly less staining than composition K which had a much higher pH (8.0) and therefore had less than 10% of its amine oxide species in cationic form.
- compositions herein are employed on hard surfaces in liquid form.
- aqueous carrier liquid is not critical. It must be safe and it must be chemically compatible with the components of the compositions. It should be either neutral or acidic to minimize the amount of acidifying agent needed.
- the aqueous carrier liquid can comprise solvents commonly used in hard surface cleaning compositions. Such solvents must be compatible with the components of the compositions and must be chemically stable at the mildly acidic pH of the compositions. They should also have good filming/residue properties.
- the aqueous carrier liquid is water or a miscible mixture of alcohol and water.
- Water-alcohol mixtures are preferred inasmuch as the alcohol can aid in the dispersion and dissolution of the amine oxide and other materials in the compositions.
- the alcohol can be used to adjust the viscosity of the compositions.
- the alcohols are preferably C2-C4 alcohols. Ethanol is most preferred.
- the aqueous carrier liquid is water or a water-ethanol mixture containing from about 0% to about 50% ethanol.
- the present invention also embodies a non-liquid composition from which the mildly acidic, liquid hard surface cleaning compositions can easily be obtained by adding an aqueous carrier liquid.
- the non-liquid compositions can be in granular, powder or gel forms, preferably in granular forms.
- the non-liquid compositions comprise from about 1% to about 50%, preferably from about 2% to about 30%, more preferably from about 2.5% to about 25%, of the amine oxide detergent surfactant described herein.
- the non-liquid compositions also comprise an acidifying agent as described herein, preferably an organic acidifying agent.
- the non-liquid compositions contain enough of the acid to provide, upon dilution with the aqueous carrier liquid, a pH and percent amine oxide protonation within the ranges described herein for the mildly acidic, liquid compositions.
- the non-liquid gel compositions contain reduced amounts of the non-aqueous carrier liquid.
- the non-liquid granular compositions contain substantially no aqueous carrier liquid. In either form, an aqueous carrier liquid is added to the non- liquid composition prior to use to form the mildly acidic, liquid hard surface cleaning compositions of the present invention.
- compositions herein can contain auxiliary materials which augment cleaning and aesthetics.
- compositions can optionally comprise a non-interfering auxiliary surfactant in addition to the amine oxide detergent surfactant.
- Additional auxiliary surfactants can effect cleaning activity.
- a wide variety of organic, water soluble surfactants can optionally be employed. The choice of auxiliary surfactant depends on the desires of the user with regard to the intended purpose of the compositions and the commercial availability of the surfactant.
- compositions can contain any of the anionic, nonionic and zwitterionic / amphoteric surfactants commonly employed in liquid hard surface cleaning compositions.
- alkyl used to describe these various surfactants encompasses the hydrocarbyl alkyl groups having a chain length of from about Cg to C22 > i- e - > materials of the type generally recognized for use as detergents.
- Suitable surfactants which can be employed in the compositions herein include anionic surfactants such as the alkyl sulfates, alkyl benzene sulfonates, olefin sulfonates, fatty acyl isethionates and taurides, alkyl sulfoccinates, alkyl ether sulfates (AE2SO4) and many others.
- nonionic surfactants include the polyethoxysorbitan esters, fatty acyl mono- and di-ethanol amides, Cg-C22 ethoxylates and mixed coconut ethoxylates containing 1 to 30 ethoxylate groups.
- Suitable zwitterionic surfactants include the fatty alkyl betaines and sulfobetaines and similar compounds such as Cg to C j ammonio propane sulfonate and Cg to Cjg hydroxy ammonio propane sulfonates.
- the anionic surfactants can be in the form of their water soluble salts, for instance the amine, ammonium, alkanolammonium or alkali metal salts. For most purposes it is prefened to use the anionic materials in their acid form to reduce the amount of auxiliary acid needed to acidify the composition.
- the alkyl ether sulfates of the general formula AE ⁇ S ⁇ 4 wherein A C ⁇ o-C'22 a l > E is ethylene oxide, and wherein x is an integer from 0 to 30; the C10-C14 olefin sulfonates, and mixtures thereof.
- the compositions contain water miscible substances having disinfectants properties.
- Prefened disinfectants are quaternary ammonium compounds, which are well known in the detergency art.
- suitable quaternary ammonium disinfectants include didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride, N-alkyl (Cj2 to Cjg) dimethyl ammonium chloride, and N-alkyl (Cj2 t0 Cj ) dimethyl ethyl benzyl ammonium chloride.
- additives such as perfumes, brighteners, enzymes, colorants, and the like can be employed in the compositions to enhance aesthetics and/or cleaning performance. These additives must be acidic or neutral, they must be compatible with the active components in the composition, and they should not interfere with the inhibition of vinyl staining provided by the compositions.
- Detergent builders can also be employed in the compositions. These builders are especially useful when auxiliary surfactants or cosurfactants are employed, and are even more useful when the compositions are diluted prior to use with exceptionally hard tap water., e.g., above about 12 grains. Detergent builders sequester calcium and magnesium hardness ions that might otherwise bind with and render less effective the auxiliary surfactants or cosurfactants. The detergent builders can be employed in the compositions at concentrations of between about 0% and about 10%. Alkaline builder materials are not useful herein since they will interfere with the acidulation of the composition. Instead, the optional builder materials should comprise acidic or neutral sequestrants which do not interfere with the inhibition of vinyl staining provided by the instant composition.
- Acidic or neutral builder materials include, for example, water soluble polycarboxylic acids (e.g., acrylic and maleic acid polymers and copolymers), polysulfonic acids, aminopolyacetic acids, and the like. Suds suppressors are especially useful in the composition. In the hard surface cleaning composition herein, suds formation and maintenance are undesirably promoted by the amine oxide component. The compositions therefore preferably comprise a sufficient amount of a suds suppressor to prevent excessive sudsing during employment of the compositions on hard surfaces. Suds suppressors are especially useful to allow for no-rinse application of the composition.
- water soluble polycarboxylic acids e.g., acrylic and maleic acid polymers and copolymers
- polysulfonic acids e.g., aminopolyacetic acids, and the like.
- Suds suppressors are especially useful in the composition. In the hard surface cleaning composition herein, suds formation and maintenance are undesirably promoted by the amine oxide component.
- the suds suppressor can be provided by known and conventional means. Selection of the suds suppressor depends on its ability to formulate in the compositions, and the residue and cleaning profile of the compositions.
- the suds suppressor must be chemically compatible with the components in the compositions, it must be functional at the pH range described herein, and it should not leave a visible residue on cleaned surfaces.
- Low-foaming cosurfactants can be used as suds suppressor to mediate the suds profile in the compositions. Cosurfactant concentrations between about 1% and about 3% are normally sufficient.
- suitable cosurfactants for use herein include block copolymers (e.g., Pluronic® and Tetronic®, both available from BASF Company) and alkoxylated (e.g., ethoxylated/propoxylated) primary and secondary alcohols (e.g., Tergitol®, available from Union Carbide; Poly- Tergent®, available from Olin Corporation).
- the optional suds suppressor preferably comprises a silicone-based material. These materials are effective as suds suppressors at very low concentrations.
- the compositions preferably comprise from about 0.01% to about 0.50%, more preferably from about 0.01% to about 0.3%, of the silicone-based suds suppressor. At these low concentrations, the silicone-based suds suppressor is less likely to interfere with the cleaning performance of the compositions.
- suitable silicone-based suds suppressors for use in the compositions include Dow Corning ® AF-2210 and Dow Corning® AF-GPC, both available from Dow Coming Corporation.
- silicone-based suds suppressors can be incorporated into the composition by known and conventional means. Such materials are typically water insoluble and require suspension in the aqueous environment of the compositions.
- the silicone-based suds suppressors are typically suspended by either increasing the viscosity of the liquid compositions or by matching the specific gravity of the compositions with that of the silicone-based suds suppressor.
- the specific gravity of the compositions can be increased to that of the silicone-based suds suppressor, for example, by adding a low level of a cosurfactant.
- a prefened cosurfactant for this purpose are betaine zwitterionic surfactants, preferably at concentrations of from about 0.5% to about 3%.
- compositions also have excellent cleaning properties and leave little or no visible residue on hard surfaces when they dry. It was found that these compositions leave surprisingly little or no visible residue on hard surfaces whether used in a rinse or no-rinse application. As described hereinbefore, at least about 10% of the amine oxide species in the composition are cationic. Cationic surfactants, however, tend to form crystalline salts upon drying thus resulting in cloudy residues. This does not occur, however, with the application (rinse or no-rinse application) of the instant compositions to hard surfaces.
- compositions exhibit excellent paniculate and greasy soil removal properties. This was surprising since acidic liquid hard surface cleaners do not typically clean paniculate or greasy soil from hard surfaces as well as non-acidic hard surface cleaners do. Acidic hard surface cleaners are used mostly in bathrooms to remove hard water stains.
- compositions provide excellent soil removal properties while also leaving little or no visible residue on cleaned surfaces.
- Hard surface cleaners typically have either good soil removal properties or good residue properties (e.g., they do not leave a visible residue on cleaned surfaces), but not both.
- the compositions herein provide both of these desirable properties in a single product. It is therefor uniquely suited to clean, for example, heavily soiled shiny surfaces, e.g., waxed vinyl floors.
- Figure 1 is a graph showing the relationship between particulate soil removal properties (vertical axis) and residue forming properties (horizontal axis) for the several hard surface cleaning samples A-F listed below. These properties for samples A-F conespond to points A-F on the graph.
- Sample A Ecolab Oasis 266 All Purpose Cleaner 266 Labeled ingredients nonyphenol ethoxylate n-alkyl (C]2-16) dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride sodium ethylene diamine tetracetic acid water
- Sample B Scott #8 Neutral Floor Cleaner Labeled ingredients butoxyethanol alkylnaphthalene sodium sulfonate sodium citrate nonylphenol ethoxylate water
- Sample C S. C. Johnson G.P-Forward Labeled ingredients sodium hydroxide sodium silicate nonylphenol ethoxylate potassium hydroxide water
- Sample E Butcher #4 Neutral Floor Cleaner Labeled Ingredients isopropanol nonylphenol ethoxylate
- Sample F Example 1 composition Ingredients coconut dimethyl amine oxide Betaine Dow Corning ® AF-2210
- Samples A-F are tested for residue formation on hard surfaces using the following method. Each sample is diluted to recommended usage with tap water (about 8 grain hardness) at between about 30° and about 38°C (between about 86° and about 100°F). About 5 grams of each diluted sample is applied to a folded lint- free towel wrapped around a small block, which is then used to apply the sample in one swipe lengthwise alone a clean 3x12 inch chrome panel. After the applied sample dries, the residue remaining on the chrome panel is graded on an absolute scale of 0.0 (extremely visible residue) to 5.0 (no visible residue). The residue grade for each sample is then plotted along the horizontal axis of the graph in Figure 1.
- Samples A-F are also tested for the ability to remove paniculate soil from hard surfaces using the following method.
- White vinyl floor tiles are rinsed with warm tap water, rinsed twice with isopropanol, and allowed to dry.
- Paniculate soil suspended in isopropanol (4.0 gram soil / 6.0 grams isopropanol / tile) is rubbed onto each tile with a lint-free paper towel. Once the isopropanol evaporates and the excess soil is brushed away, the tiles are washed with samples A-F using a Gardner Straight Line Washability Machine.
- Percentage of paniculate soil removed by each sample is determined by reflectance measurements using Hunter Lab Tristimulus Colorimeter (DP-9000) before and after washing. Values representing the percentage of soil removed by each sample is then plotted along the vertical axis of the graph in Figure 1.
- Sample F which is a composition of the present invention, is superior to samples A-E both in cleaning performance and in residue formation. This represents a significant departure from the trend seen in no-rinse hard surface cleaners that cleaning performance should decrease as residue formation tendencies decrease. Unlike most no-rinse hard surface cleaners, Sample F exhibits excellent cleaning properties and residue/filming (i.e., leaves little or no visible film on cleaned surfaces) properties.
- the present invention has been fully set forth in its composition aspects.
- the invention also encompasses a method for cleaning vinyl surfaces (waxed or unwaxed). The benefit of using this composition on vinyl surfaces is described hereinbefore.
- the method comprises applying to a vinyl surface the mildly acidic liquid compositions herein or, preferably, applying an aqueous dilution thereof.
- the vinyl surface is then wiped with a porous material,, e.g., cloth or mop, and allowed to dry.
- the mildly acidic liquid composition is first diluted with an aqueous liquid, preferably tap water.
- the diluted composition has a pH of between about 3.0 and 7.0, preferably between about 4.0 and about 6.0, and comprises from about 0.02% to about 0.2%, preferably from about 0.04% to about
- amine oxide detergent surfactant 0.1%, of the amine oxide detergent surfactant described herein. At least about 10% of the amine oxide species in the diluted composition are protonated, preferably from about 50% to about 100%, more preferably from about 90% to about 100%.
- the diluted composition is then applied to and wiped over (with a porous material) the vinyl surface and allowed to dry.
