Definitions
- the present invention concerns an additive for a cleaning formulation, a cleaning formulation comprising this additive, and a process for cleaning bottles, in particular returnable PET bottles, using such.
- Large quantities of beverages including carbona ⁇ ted soft drinks such as Cola's are sold in returnable bottles made of either glass or plastic, particularly PET (PolyEthylene Tetraphthalate) . These bottles must be tho ⁇ roughly cleaned and disinfected before being refilled to ensure product quality is not adversely affected.
- an alternative chelating agent is sodium gluconate. This has the advantages of being readily biodegradable and not increasing the foaming ten ⁇ dency of cleaning solutions. However, it is a weaker chela- ting agent and does not remove mould pads as effectively as EDTA, especially at relatively low caustic levels as requi ⁇ red for low chemical damage when washing plastic bottles.
- An object of the present invention is to yield an effective detergent additive not having the environmental drawbacks ensuing from the use of EDTA.
- This additive which is free of EDTA or similar chelating agents, is preferably used with an alkaline washing formulation, most preferably a caustic soda based washing formulation, at a concentration of between 0.25 and 3%, preferably 1-2%, whereby in the case of PET bottles the concentration most preferably does not exceed 1.5% in order to minimize stress cracking.
- This formulation is effective at achieving detergency, particularly against mould pads.
- Sodium gluconate offers the advantages of being commercially available and readily soluble in both alkaline and acidic solutions, thus making the development of con ⁇ centrated additives possible. Furthermore sodium gluconate will chelate both divalent and trivalent ions. As a result, in addition to facilitating the removal of mould pads, it will remove rust stains from the tops of crown capped bottles and prevent sodium aluminate precipitates forming when washing bottles which carry aluminium foil labels. Another consequence of its trivalent ion chelation capabi ⁇ lity is that clays extracted from old labels in the wash bath will be dispersed and not precipitate on the bottles being washed.
- a wetting agent is an agent for reducing surface tension in order to increase the intimacy between the cleaning formulation and the soil.
- the wetting agent has the following general formula: R, - ( OC 2 H 4 ) n - ( OC 3 H 8 ) m - 0R 2 ,
- R, alkyl chain of length between C 8 and C 20 (preferably C ]0 to C 15 )
- a non-ionic blend which is a blend further comprising an antifoaming agent and a rinsing agent, in order to optimize cleaning.
- a preferred wetting agent is Plurafac LF 131.
- Polyacrylates offer the advantages of being substantially inert, whereby environmental problems associ ⁇ ated herewith are limited, being easily precipitated out of waste water, for example, with sewage. Due to their ready solubility they can be used at very concentrated levels, thereby increasing the effectiveness of the detergent additive.
- the additive according to the present invention was primarily developed for use in cleaning formulations in soft water areas.
- a scale forming preventing agent such as Dequest 2000TM or Bayhibit AMTM, is preferably added.
- the additive can be formulated to be alkaline, acidic or ph-neutral, in the latter case preferably inclu ⁇ ding a preservative, for example formaldehyde, to prevent micro-organisms feeding off the additive and causing this to deteriorate.
- a preservative for example formaldehyde
- a bottle washing formulation comprising the above mentioned additive.
- a process for cleaning bottles, in particular returnable PET beverage bottles is provided.
- This cleaning process is preferably carried out below a maximum temperature of 60°C, above which thermal damage to PET bottles is possible, and between 50°C and 80°C for glass bottles.
- SU 860 is a commercially produced adjunct based on EDTA (between 30% and 35% as EDTA Na 4 ) , and additionally compri- sing sodium gluconate ( ⁇ 10%) and nonionic wetting and antifoaming agents ( ⁇ 3%) .
- PET bottles it would be equally suitable for cleaning glass bottles. In this case, it would not be subject to the temperature and caustic level limitations imposed on PET bottle washing.
