Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the use of oleoyl sarcosinate in combination with various mono- and di-alkanolamidessurfactants to provide improved detersive compositions.
  • Most conventional detergent compositions contain mixtures of various detersive surfactants in order to remove a wide variety of soils and stains from surfaces.
  • various anionic surfactants especially the alkyl benzene sulfonates, are useful for removing particulate soils
  • various nonionic surfactants such as the alkyl ethoxylates and alkylphenol ethoxylates are useful for removing greasy soils.
  • mixtures of anionic and nonionic surfactants are used in many modern detergent compositions.
  • nonionic surfactants which comprise the alkanolamides are well-known for use in various detergent compositions. Mainly, however, they are used at modest levels, to increase sudsing. It has now been discovered that this mild, biodegradable class of surfactants can deliver surprisingly desirable cleaning benefits when properly formulated in laundry and dishwashing compositions.
  • oleoyl sarcosinate is employed as the anionic surfactant in conjunction with alkanolamide nonionic surfactants to provide improved cleaning benefits, especially with respect to greasy/oily soils and stains.
  • the compositions are advantageously water-soluble over a broad range of temperatures, are easy to formulate, and would appear to have no untoward interaction with most detergency ingredients.
  • Use of the combination of oleoyl sarcosinate with the alkanolamide and enzymes appears to provide superior stability and oily stain removal performance.
  • the compositions provide low interfacial tensions and excellent cleaning even in non- phosphate built compositions, especially with zeolite or silicate detergency builders.
  • the present invention overcomes many of the problems associated with known technologies and provides excellent detergent compositions for use in a wide variety of cleaning operations, as will be seen from the following disclosures.
  • the present invention encompasses cleaning compositions which comprise:
  • the alkanolamide is a member selected from the group consisting of the CIQ-18- most preferably C12-C14, fatty acid amides of monoethanolamine (preferred) and diethanolamine, and rnixtures thereof.
  • such compositions comprise at least about 5%, by weight, of a mixture of said surfactants (a) and (b), and most preferably comprise from about 5% to about 45% of a mixture of surfactants (a) and (b), at a weight ratio of (a):(b) in the range from about 1:10 to about 10:1, especially from about 1:2 to about 2:1.
  • Fully formulated detergent compositions herein will additionally comprise: various adjunct materials such as detergency builders; enzymes; soil release agents; dye transfer inhibitors; bleach; various other non-oleoyl sarcosinate, non- alkanolamide; detersive surfactants; dispersing agents; suds suppressors; and the like, and mixtures thereof, according to the desires of the formulator and the intended end-use of the compositions.
  • the invention also encompasses a method for cleaning surfaces, especially fabrics and dishware, comprising contacting said surfaces with an aqueous medium which contains at least about 50 ppm, preferably from about 100 to about 10,000 ppm, of a composition according to the invention, preferably with agitation. All percentages, ratios and proportions herein are by weight, unless otherwise specified. All documents cited are, in relevant part, incorporated herein by reference.
  • compositions comprise oleoyl sarcosinate, in its acid and/or salt form selected as desired for the compositions and uses herein, having the following formula:
  • M is hydrogen or a cationic moiety.
  • M are hydrogen and alkali metal salts, especially sodium and potassium.
  • Oleoyl sarcosinate is commercially available, for example as Hamposyl O supplied by W. R. Grace & Co.
  • Compositions according to the present invention typically comprise from about 0.5% to about 55%, preferably from about 1% to about 20%, and most preferably from about 3% to about 15%, of oleoyl sarcosinate by weight of the composition.
  • oleoyl sarcosinate useful herein can also preferably be prepared from the ester
  • reaction may be illustrated by the scheme:
  • This salt may optionally be neutralized to form the oleoyl sarcosinate in its acid form.
  • the preferred method for preparing oleoyl sarcosinate is conducted at a temperature from about 80°C to about 200°C, especially from about 120°C to about 200°C. It is preferred to conduct the reaction without solvent although alcohol solvents which have a boiling point of at least 100°C and are stable to the reaction conditions (ie. glycerol is not acceptable) can be used.
  • the reaction may proceed in about 85% yield with a molar ratio of methyl ester reactant to sarcosine salt reactant to basic catalyst of about 1:1:0.05-0.2.
  • Methyl ester mixtures derived from high oleic content natural oils are especially preferred as starting materials. Examples include high-oleic sunflower and rapeseed/canola oil. In addition, a high-oleic methyl ester fraction derived from either palm kernel oil or tallow is acceptable. It is to be understood that such oils typically will contain some levels of impurities, including some fatty acid impurities that may be converted to sarcosinate compounds by this synthesis method.
  • commodity canola/rapeseed oil may comprise a majority of oleic acid, and a mixture of fatty acid impurities such as palmitic, stearic, linoleic, linolenic and/or eicosenoic acid, some or all of which are converted to the sarcosinate by this reaction method. If desired for formulation purposes, some or all of such impurity materials may be excluded from the starting oil before preparing the oleoyl sarcosinate to be used in the present compositions.
  • sarcosine remaining in the reaction mixture can be converted to an amide by addition of maleic or acetic anhydride to the mixture, thereby minimizing the sarcosine content and any potential for formation of undesired nitrogen-containing impurities.
  • oleoyl sarcosinate The synthesis of oleoyl sarcosinate may be carried out as follows to prepare the sodium oleoyl sarcosinate.
  • reaction mixture is heated to 170°C for 1 hr to drive off any water.
  • the reaction is initiated by the addition of sodium methoxide 25% in methanol (15.4 g, 0.0714 mol). Reaction is kept at 170°C for 2.5 hr during which methanol is collected in the Dean-Stark trap. The reaction is allowed to cool slightly and then methanol (200 g) is added. Maleic anhydride (9.43 g, 0.095 mol) is added to the methanol solution and the reaction is stirred at 60°C for 0.5 hr. Then most of the methanol is removed by rotary evaporation and acetone (2 L) is added to precipitate the product.
  • the product is collected by suction filtration and allowed to air dry to give an off-white solid. Analysis of the reaction mixture by GC indicates the majority of the product is oleoyl sarcosinate, with minor amounts of the following impurities: sarcosine, oleic acid, and the sarcosinates derived from palmitic acid, stearic acid, and linoleic acid. Alkanolamides:
