Definitions
- the present invention is directed to a surfactant composition and in particular to such a composition which shows a pearlescent effect.
- compositions having a pearlescent effect have become more common in recent years, for example in hair shampoo.
- pearlescent is meant that the materials reflect light in a similar manner to pearls.
- Such a material typically is a hydrophobic material which has little, if any, detergent effect.
- Materials which may be used to provide a pearlescent effect include esters such as glycerol monostearate and diethyleneglycol monostearate.
- Many pearlescent agents have little, if any, detergent effect and, in view of their water insolubility, are typically used in solution in the detergent.
- the pearlescent agent can be difficult to formulate and the solution in the detergent may breakdown thereby losing the pearlescent effect.
- the presence of a pearlescent agent may cause a reduction in the foaming achieved by the detergent. Accordingly, it is desirable to provide a mixture having a pearlescent effect which is not liable to the problems which can be associated with the use of known pearlescent agents.
- a surfactant composition which comprises
- the composition contains sufficient water for the composition to be a flowable mixture.
- the amount of water is dependent on the composition of the mixture and the nature of components (A) and (B) .
- the amount of water present is not less than 35%, and typically is at least 40% by weight of the composition of (A) , (B) and (C) .
- Component (A) of the composition is a glycoside and may be a monoglycoside, a polyglycoside or a mixture thereof.
- the glycoside is typically a compound which can be represented by the general formula (I) :
- R is a hydrophobic moiety
- G is a saccharide group; and a has a value of at least one.
- the group R can be hydrocarbyl group, a substituted hydrocarbyl group, a hydrocarbonoxy group or a substituted hydrocarbonoxy group. More specifically, the group R can be an alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, alkaryl, aralkyl, alkenyl, alkoxy or aryloxy group and is preferably an alkyl or alkoxy group.
- the group R conveniently contains from 4 to 30 carbon atoms, preferably from 6 to 24 carbon atoms and especially from 8 to 18 carbon atoms.
- the glycoside may itself be a composition of glycosides of formula I with different values for the group R, for example different alkyl or alkoxy groups containing different numbers of carbon atoms.
- the glycoside can be a composition of glycosides with different alkyl or alkoxy groups, for example a composition of glycosides in which the different R groups contain, on average, 9, 10 or 11 carbon atoms.
- a composition in which the R groups are of alkyl or alkoxy groups containing from 8 to 11 carbon atoms and averaging 9 or 10 carbon atoms.
- the saccharide group G may be derived from fructose, glucose, mannose, galactose, telose, gulose, allose, altrose, idose, arabinose, xylose, lyxose and ribose or from mixtures thereof.
- the group G is conveniently derived from glucose units and the glycoside is then a glucoside.
- the value of 'a' is the degree of polymerisation. When 'a' is one the glycoside is a monoglycoside.
- 'a' has an average value of greater than one and the glycoside is a mixture of polyglycosides, a mixture of a monoglycoside and a polyglycoside, or a mixture of a monoglycoside with a mixture of polyglycosides.
- the average value of 'a' is typically at least 1.1, particularly at least 1.2 and especially at least 1.3.
- the average value of 'a' is typically not greater than 8, particularly not greater than 4 and especially not greater than 2.
- the average value of 'a' is conveniently between 1 and 2, for example from 1.3 to 1.8.
- 'a' is conveniently between 1 and 2, for example from 1.3 to 1.8.
- n has an average value of from 8 to 18, especially 9; and b has a value of greater than one and not more than two.
- Hydrocarbyl glycosides are commercially available materials for example as APG 225, APG 300 or APG 325 Glycoside or as Triton BG 10.
- Component (B) of the mixture is an isethionate surfactant.
- the isethionate surfactant is typically a compound which can be represented by the general formula (III) :
- R is a C. . - Cm m. hydrocarbon group, which may be substituted; and M is a cation having a valency and being in an amount sufficient to give a neutral compound.
- the hydrocarbon group R may be any well known group as used in surfactant technology. It may be a synthetically prepared grouping or may be derived from natural sources, plant or animal, by known techniques. Tallow or vegetable oils are convenient, and these may be at least partially hydrogenated if it is desired to reduce unsaturation. Examples are hydrogenated tallow, lauryl, palm and coco-derived groups.
- the cation M is preferably a monovalent cation such as an alkali metal, ammonium or quaternary ammonium cation.
- the cation is an alkali metal, preferably sodium or potassium. The number of cations required depends upon the valency of the cation provided that the compound is neutral.
- isethionate surfactants typically contain the free fatty acid R .COOH together with an isethionate HOCH-CH.SO-M (for example soditim isethionate) , the isethionate surfactant being the major component, typically at least 80% by weight. All references hereafter to "isethionate” are to compounds of general formula (III) , unless stated to the contrary.
- the mixture may give a clear or opaque solution or flowable paste, or may give a solution showing a pearlescent effect or may give a thick paste which does not flow readily.
- component (A) and (B) This effect is also dependent on the nature of components (A) and (B) , for example, in component (A) on the nature of the group R and the degree of polymerisation, 'a 1 , and in component (B) on the nature of the group R and the cation M.
- component (A) is an alkyl polyglucoside of formula (II) in which the alkyl group is derived from a mixture of C_ to C.- alkyl groups in which 'n' has an average value of 10 and 'b' has an average value of 1.5 and component (B) is sodium cocoyl isethionate
- a clear solution is obtained when the mixture contains less than 2% by weight of component (B) , the rest being water and component (A) in varying proportions together with minor proportions of fatty acid and unesterified sodium isethionate present with component (B) (hereafter referred to as "impurities").
- the mixture may be clear, opaque or pearlescent depending on the proportion of component (A).
- a mixture containing 2.2% by weight of component (B) and less than about 3.8% by weight of component (A) , the rest being water and minor proportions of impurities (less than about 0.5%) is opaque or pearlescent, depending on the particular proportion of component (A) .
- a clear solution is obtained with a higher proportion of component (B) , for example with 40% by weight of component (A) a clear solution is obtained with less than about 9.75% by weight of component (B) , the rest of the composition being water, together with impurities.
- a transition from a pearlescent solution or an opaque mixture to a thick, non-flowable paste occurs if the amount of component (B) exceeds about 21.25% by weight.
- the maximum proportion of (A) which does not result in a clear solution is 43.75% by weight, with about 10.6% by weight of (B) , the rest being water and impurities.
- the exact limits for changes in the appearance of the mixtures will be affected to some extent by variations in the nature of the group R, even when this has an average value of 9, and the exact constitution of the cocoyl group.
- component (A) and (B) pearlescence is obtained when the amount of alkyl polyglucoside (mixed alkyl group having an average of 10 carbon atoms and an average degree of polymerisation of 1.5) used as component (A) is from about 1.2% up to about 3.0% by weight, that is a weight ratio of (A) to (B) of from 0.48:1 up to 1.2:1.
- alkyl polyglucoside mixed alkyl group having an average of 10 carbon atoms and an average degree of polymerisation of 1.5
- compositions containing more than 2% by weight of component (B) and not more than about 10.6% by weight of component (B) may be opaque or clear depending on the proportion of components (A) and (C) . Specifically, mixtures containing less than 3.8% by weight of component (A) are opaque whereas at higher levels of component (A) , a clear or opaque mixture may be obtained. When the proportion of component (B) exceeds about 21.25% by weight, the mixture becomes a thick non-flowable paste.
- the proportions of (A) , (B) , and (C) required to give opaque, pearlescent.or clear mixtures or a non-flowable paste can be readily determined by simple mixing experiments.
- mixtures containing (A) and (B) in various relative proportions can be prepared and these mixtures can be diluted by the addition of increasing amounts of water, the composition being recorded when a change in the appearance of the mixture is observed.
- the composition of the present invention may include other components in addition to materials present as impurities in components (A) or (B) .
- these other components may be other surface active materials, particularly detergents.
- anionic detergent may be a sodium sulphosuccinate, a sodium alkyl sulphate or a sodium alkyl ether sulphate.
- the alkyl groups in the anionic detergents typically contain at least six carbon atoms and especially at least-eight carbon atoms, and in general contain not more than 24 carbon atoms, especially not more than 18 carbon atoms.
- the alkyl groups may be a mixture of isomeric alkyl groups or a mixture of alkyl groups containing different numbers of carbon atoms or a mixture of both of these, for example a mixture of alkyl groups containing predominantly from 10 to 15 carbon atoms.
- Suitable sodium alkyl ether sulphates preferably contain 1 to 10 ethyleneoxy groups, for example 2 to 4 ethyleneoxy groups and such materials may be a mixture in which the number of ethyleneoxy groups vary.
- compositions in accordance with the present invention which also contain an anionic detergent will still show a pearlescent effect, depending on the nature of the anionic detergent and the relative proportions of the components.
- Such compositions may be prepared by pre-mixing components (A), (B) and (C) in the appropriate proportions to give a pearlescent effect and then adding the anionic detergent to this mixture.
- the production of a pearlescent effect is dependent on the relative proportions of the anionic detergent to the mixture [(A)+(B)] and also on the actual concentration of the components.
- alkyl polyglucoside alkyl group containing an average of ten carbon atoms, average degree of polymerisation of 1.5
- sodium cocoyl isethionate sodium cocoyl isethionate
- water and a sodium sulphosuccinate sodium cocoyl isethionate
- the minimum concentration of the mixture of glucoside plus isethionate which is equired to give a pearlescent effect is dependent on the concentration of the alkyl sulphate, more of the mixture being required at a higher concentration of alkyl sulphate.
- the maximum concentration of the mixture, above which a pearlescent effect is no longer obtained also depends on the concentration of the alkyl sulphate, less of the mixture being required at a higher concentration of alkyl sulphate. Subject to the foregoing and within the specified limits, a pearlescent effect can be obtained.
- the concentration of the ether sulphate is greater than about 14% by weight, no pearlescent effect is noted.
- the minimum level of the mixture required to obtain a pearlescent effect is very much dependent on the concentration of the ether sulphate, and more of the mixture is required to obtain a pearlescent effect at higher concentration of ether sulphate, for example at an ether sulphate concentration of about 12% by weight, the minimum concentration of the mixture required to obtain a pearlescent effect is about 15.7% by weight.
- the proportions needed to achieve a desired effect can be determined by experiment.
- compositions may additionally include other components which are conventionally present in surfactant compositions, for example colouring materials, perfumes and the like.
- compositions are effective as surfactants and may be used in any systems in which surfactants are used.
- the compositions are particularly suitable for use in liquid soaps, and bath and shower products such as hair shampoos.
- compositions in accordance with the present invention which show a pearlescent effect
- this effect disappears at elevated temperatures and in general at a temperature of 32 to 34 C, above which temperature the composition becomes slightly turbid or may become totally clear. On cooling the mixture below about 30 C, the pearlescence reappears.
- Figure 1 represents graphically the variations in the visible appearance of a mixture containing a glycoside and an isethionate, in the presence of water to 100% by weight;
- Figure 2 represents graphically the region of pearlescence in a mixture of glycoside, isethionate, and a sulphosuccinate, in the presence of water to 100% by weight;
- Figure 3 represents graphically the region of pearlescence in a mixture of glycoside, isethionate, and an alkyl sulphate, in the presence of water to 100% by weight;
- Figure 4 represents graphically the region of pearlescence in a mixture of glycoside, isethionate and an alkyl ether sulphate in the presence of water to 100% by weight.

- the composition defined by the region BCGH shows a pearlescent effect.
- the composition defined by the region ABHI is a white and creamy composition
- the composition defined by the region CDEFG is a brown and pasty opaque composition.
- To the left of the lines AD and DE clear solutions are obtained and to the right of the line FI an almost solid paste is obtained.
- a pearlescent effect is obtained by the addition of a sodium sulphosuccinate to give a composition in the region JKIM.
- the axis SCI indicates the percentage by weight of sodium cocoyl isethionate present in the composition and similarly APG indicates the percentage by weight of alkyl polyglucoside present in the mixture, the residual quantities to 100% by weight being water and impurities associated with the sodium cocoyl isethionate, which impurities are present in an amount of 15/85 (about 17.6%) by weight of the sodium cocoyl isethionate.
- the axis (APG + SCI) indicates the percentage by weight of a mixture of APG (25% by weight), SCI (42.5% by weight), impurities (7.5% by weight) and water (25% by weight).

- the axis NAS indicates the percentage by weight of sodium alkyl sulphate.
- the axis NAES indicates the percentage by weight of sodium alkyl ether sulphate.
- the residual quantities, to 100% by weight, are water.
- sodium cocoyl isethionate [a commercial product containing 85% by weight of sodium cocoyl isethionate, the remainder being about equal proportions by weight of fatty acid (coco acids) and sodium isethionate (NaS0_CH intendCH distract0H)] gives a clear aqueous solution at a sodium cocoyl isethionate proportion of less than about 2.1% by weight (Point A in Figure 1). At higher levels of sodium cocoyl isethionate, an opaque aqueous mixture is obtained, the viscosity of which increases with increasing sodium cocoyl isethionate concentration. At a sodium cocoyl isethionate concentration of more than about 21.25% by weight, an almost solid paste is obtained (Point I in Figure 1) .
- Sodium cocoyl isethionate was added to a 50% by weight aqueous solution of an alkyl polyglucoside (a mixture of alkyl groups containing 8 to 11 carbon atoms with an average of ten carbon atoms with an average degree of polymerisation of 1.5) to determine the maximum solubility of sodium cocoyl isethionate in this mixture to give a clear solution.
- an alkyl polyglucoside a mixture of alkyl groups containing 8 to 11 carbon atoms with an average of ten carbon atoms with an average degree of polymerisation of 1.5
- the point F in Figure 1 represents the transition from an opaque mixture to an almost solid paste (21.25% by weight of sodium cocoyl isethionate, about 3.75% by weight of impurities in the sodium cocoyl isethionate, 37.5% by weight of each of alkyl polyglucoside and water).
- water is added to progressively to the composition at point F giving an opaque brown and pasty composition which becomes less thick as more water is added till a clear solution is obtained at point D (concentrations of sodium cocoyl isethionate, impurities and alkyl polyglucoside all one tenth of concentrations at point F, rest water).
- the sodium cocoyl isethionate and the alkyl polyglucoside solution as used in Example 1 were mixed in the relative proportions by weight of alkyl polyglucoside to sodium cocoyl isethionate of 50:85, that is about 0.59:1 by weight.
