Abstract

A thixotropic aqueous cleaning composition comprises one or more nanoparticulate inorganic compounds selected from the group consisting of metal oxides, metal oxide hydrates, metal hydroxides, metal carbonates, metal phosphates, and silicates, and may be used as a hand dishwashing detergent, machine dishwashing detergent, bath or toilet cleaner, all-purpose cleaner, laundry detergent, or spray cleaner.

Description

, CA 02323022 2000-10-06 THIXOTROPIC AQUEOUS CLEANER
Field of the Invention The invention relates to a thixotropic aqueous cleaning composition which can be used to clean hard surfaces.
Background of the Invention Products for cleaning in the household sector, such as hand dishwashing detergents, machine dishwashing deter gents, bath and toilet cleaners, all-purpose cleaners, and laundry detergents, for example, are sold in different forms with which specific user-relevant benefits are associated. Tablets, for example, facilitate the dosing and handling of a product. Products in gel form (gels) may be employed with precision on stains, since they adhere longer to the particular surface to be cleaned, while highly liquid products are used to clean large areas and are notable for ease of handling, being substantially easier to mix with water, for dilution purposes, for example, than viscous products or gels.
In various sectors of household cleaning it is desirable from the standpoint of the consumer to use products which permit both precise, concentrated cleaning and also large-area cleaning with or without dilution, and which combine the advantages of a gel with those of a liquid.
Standard commercial cleaning compositions for flushable toilets, known as toilet cleaners, for example, have a relatively high viscosity in the state of rest (zero-shear viscosity), which ensures good adhesion on inclined surfaces, especially vertical surfaces. On the other hand, they have a relatively low viscosity under shear load, so that they may be applied by the user from the bottle with little effort. These rheological properties are achieved by virtue of specific polymeric thickeners such as xanthan gum.
When using conventional polymeric thickeners, however, there are limits on the attainable pseudoplasticity (dependency of viscosity on shear rate) or thixotropy (dependence of viscosity on time). When a sufficiently high zero-shear viscosity or even a yield point (minimum shear stress which must be imposed to cause a substance to flow) is established, liquefication of the product, by shaking, for example, is not possible with an application of force which it is reasonable to expect from the user, whereas the products which are sufficiently liquefiable by a shaking effort which is acceptable to the user possess a zero-shear viscosity which is too low.
Suamnary of the Invention It is an object of the present invention to provide a cleaning composition which in the state of rest is present as a gel with a yield point, which is reversibly liquefiable by user-compatible effort, by shaking, for example, and which after just a short time, a few minutes, for example, forms a gel again.
The invention provides a thixotropic aqueous cleaning composition which comprises one or more nanoparticulate inorganic compounds from the group consisting of metal oxides, metal oxide hydrates, metal hydroxides, metal carbonates, metal phosphates, and silicates.
A particular advantage of the compositions of the invention is their transparency, which - provided no pearlescent agents or the like are included - is not impaired by the nanoparticulate inorganic compounds.
. CA 02323022 2000-10-06 Detailed Description of the Invention Nano~articulate compounds The amount of one or more nanoparticulate inorganic compounds from the group consisting of the metal oxides, metal oxide hydrates, metal hydroxides, metal carbonates, metal phosphates, and silicates, is usually from 0.1 to 20% by weight, preferably from 0.5 to 10% by weight, in particular from 1 to 8% by weight, with particular preference from 2 to 6% by weight, and with very great preference from 3 to 5% by weight, for example, 4% by weight.
The average particle size of the nanoparticulate compounds is usually from 1 to 200 nm, preferably from 5 to 100 nm, in particular from 10 to 50 nm, the figure relating to the particle diameter in the lengthwise direction, i.e., in the direction of greatest extent of the particles.
Examples of suitable nanoparticulate oxides are magnesium oxide, aluminum oxide (A1203), titanium dioxide, zirconium dioxide, zinc oxide, and silicon dioxide. A suitable nanoparticulate oxide hydrate is, for example, aluminum oxide hydrate (boehmite), and examples of suitable nanoparticulate hydroxides are calcium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide. Examples of suitable nanoparticulate silicates are magnesium silicate and aluminosilicates such as zeolites.
Nanoparticulate oxides, oxides hydrates or hydroxides may be prepared by known methods, e.g., in accordance with EP-A-0 711 217 (Nanophase Technologies Corp.). Very finely divided oxide hydrates and hydroxides are also available through hydrolysis of organometallic compounds.

Preferred silicates are the sheet silicates (phyllosilicates), especially bentonites (containing as main minerals smectites, and especially montmorillonite), montmorillonites (A1z [ (OH) 2/Si401o]
nH20 or A1203 ~ 4Si02 ~ H20 ~ nHzO, clay mineral belonging to the dioctahedral (mica) smectites), kaolinite (Al2[(OH)4/Si205]
or A1203 ~ 2Si02 ~ 2H20, triclinic two-sheet clay mineral (1 : 1 phyllosilicate)), talc (hydrated magnesium silicate of composition Mg3 [ (OH) z/Si401o] or 3Mg0~4Si02~Hz0) and, with particular preference, hec-torite (M+o.a (Mga.~Lio.3) [Si4W o (OH) a] , M+ usually - Na+, monoclinic clay mineral belonging to the smectites and similar to montmorillonite).
A preferred carbonate is hydrotalcite (international nonproprietary name for dialuminum hexamagnesium carbonate hexadecahydroxide tetrahydrate, Al2Mgs (OH) isC03' 4Hz0) .
Particular preference is given to nanoparticulate boehmite (A10(OH), aluminum oxide hydrate), which is available, for example, under the trade-marks Disperal~
Sol P3 and Di speral ~ Sol P2 from the company Condea .
In one particular embodiment of the invention, nanoparticulate inorganic compounds having a specific surface area of more than 200 m2/g are used. One preferred such nanoparticulate compound is magnesium silicate of the sheet silicate type having a specific surface area of from 200 to 500 m2/g, in particular from 300 to 400 mz/g.
This material is available inexpensively in large amounts. The product is available under the trade-marks Optigel~ SH (Siid-Chemie AG) and Laponite~ XLG (Laporte Ltd.).
Surface modification In another particular embodiment of the invention, the nanoparticulate inorganic compounds may have been treated with one or more surface modifiers.
Suitable surface modifiers for the nanoparticles are all monobasic and polybasic carboxylic acids having 2 to 8 carbon atoms, examples thus being acetic acid, propionic acid, oxalic acid, glutaric acid, malefic acid, succinic acid, phthalic acid, adipic acid, and suberic acid.
Preferred candidates are the hydroxy carboxylic acids and fruit acids such as glycolic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, and gluconic acid, for example. Particular preference as carboxylic acid is given to the use of a hydroxy carboxylic acid from the group consisting of lactic acid, citric acid, malic acid, and tartaric acid.
The inorganic nanoparticles are preferably surface-s modified by treatment with an aqueous solution of a carboxylic or hydroxy carboxylic acid, by treating the nanoparticles with a solution of from 0.05 to 0.5 mol of the carboxylic acid per mole of the nanoparticulate inorganic compound. This treatment preferably takes place over a period of from 1 to 24 hours at a temperature of at least 20°C, more preferably at the boiling point of water under atmospheric pressure (100°C). If pressure is applied, the treatment may also take place at temperatures above 100°C in a correspondingly shorter time.
The treatment with the carboxylic acids or hydroxy carboxylic acids modifies the surface of the nanoparticles. It is assumed that the carboxylic or hydroxy carboxylic acids are attached by ester linkages to the surface of the nanoparticles.
The surface-modified nanoparticles are preferably isolated from the reaction mixture by dewatering. For this purpose, the dispersion is preferably subjected to freeze drying. In this procedure the solvent is removed by sublimation at low temperature under a high vacuum.
Inorganic nanoparticles modified by this process contain between 1 and 30~s by weight, preferably between 5 and 20°s by weight, of the organic surface modifier, based on the overall weight of the surface-modified inorganic nanoparticles.
For surface modification of the nanoparticles it is also possible to use functional silanes of the type (OR) 4_nSiRn (R are organic radicals containing functional groups such as hydroxyl, carboxyl, ester, amine, epoxy etc.), quaternary ammonium compounds, or amino acids. Depending on the polarity of the modifiers, the above-described modification is conducted in water or in organic solvents (alcohols, ethers, ketones, hydrocarbons, etc.), the reaction conditions being selected in analogy to those in water. Sheet silicates such as hectorites, for example, may also be subjected to ion exchange, with rations such as quaternary ammonium compounds, for example, being incorporated between the sheets of the material. Examples of further suitable surface modifiers are gelatins, starch, dextrin, dextran, pectin, gum arabic, casein, gums, polyvinyl alcohols, polyethylene glycols, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl butyrals, methylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, or else emulsifiers such as fatty alcohol polyglycol ethers, fatty alcohol polyglycosides, fatty arid alkanolamides, glycerol esters, sorbitan esters or alkoxylated esters and derivatives thereof, for example.
The composition of the invention may be formulated alternatively to be acidic, neutral, or alkaline.
Particularly suitable acids are formic acid, acetic acid, citric acid, amidosulfonic acid, and the mineral acids hydrochloric, sulfuric, and nitric acid, and mixtures thereof. Suitable bases are alkali metal hydroxide solutions, ammonia, and amines.
In an acidic embodiment the pH is preferably from 1 to 4, in particular from 1.5 to 3.5.
Surfactants The composition of the invention may comprise one or more nonionic, anionic, amphoteric, and/or cationic surfactants.
Preferably, the composition of the invention comprises one or more nonionic surfactants, examples being alkyl polyglycosides and/or alkyl polyglycol ethers, or anionic surfactants, examples being alkyl sulfates, alkyl ether sulfates, alkylsulfonates and/or alkyl-benzenesulfonates, especially one or more nonionic and anionic surfactants.
Other incrredients Depending on the configuration of the composition of the invention, it may comprise one or more other ingredients customary for the particular intended use of the composition, these ingredients being in particular from the group consisting of solvents (e. g., lower alcohols such as ethanol), electrolyte salts (e. g., NaCl, aluminum chlorohydrate), dyes, and fragrances.
The compositions of the invention are sprayable, both using a spray pump and as an aerosol. The invention therefore also provides for the use of the composition of the invention as a spray cleaner.
The compositions of the invention are suitable for use as hand dishwashing detergents, machine dishwashing detergents, bath and toilet cleaners, all-purpose cleaners, and laundry detergents. The invention therefore also provides for the use of the composition of the invention as a hand dishwashing detergent, machine dishwashing detergent, bath or toilet cleaner, all-purpose cleaner, or laundry detergent.
The compositions of the invention may be prepared by combining the ingredients, with the use of ultrasound if desired.
Examples The compositions El to E17 of the invention were prepared. Tables 1 to 3 show their compositions in % by weight and usually also their pH directly after prepara-tion and one day after preparation.
Prior to final pH adjustment, the compositions El to Ell were adjusted initially to a pH of from about 11 to 11.5 using an aqueous NaOH solution with a concentration of 0.5 mol/1.
The resulting compositions were transparent gels which were both sprayable and liquefiable by shaking, and which in the state of rest reverted to a gel.

Because of the long time of action, the cleaning performance was considerably higher than that of conventional WC cleaners.
Rheological properties The rheological properties of the compositions E12 and E13 were investigated using the Paar Physica UDS 2000 shear-rate-controlled rotational rheometer (geometry:
cone/plate with 5 cm diameter and an angle of 1°) at 25°C.
The parameters measured were the modulus of elasticity or storage modulus G', the modulus of viscosity or loss modulus G", the yield point ifl and the zero-shear viscosity r~o (Table 4) and also the viscosity r~ as a function of the shear rate (Table 5), the viscosity being determined at shear rate 1; 10, 30, 50 and 100 s-1 in the order of both increasing shear rate (figures in the columns headed "up") and decreasing shear rate (figures in the columns headed "down").

Brief Description of the Drawings Figure 1 shows the log-log viscosity/shear rate diagram for E12 (symbol for points measured: triangle) and E13 (symbol for points measured: solid rhombus) with two curves in each case - one measured for increasing shear rate (right-facing arrows top and bottom) and once for decreasing shear rate (left-facing arrows, top).
F~crure 2 gives the viscosity/time diagram for E12, with five curves for the five different initial shear rates, viscosity being plotted logarithmically.
Figure 3 gives the viscosity/time diagram for E13, with likewise five curves for the five different initial shear rates, viscosity again being plotted logarithmically.
The rheological investigations forcefully demonstrate the pronounced pseudoplasticity (Table 5; gradient of the curves in Figure 1) and thixotropy of E12 and E13 (difference in the "up" and "down" figures in Table 5;
hysteresis of the curves in Figure 1; Figures 2 and 3).
The higher amidosulfonic acid content in E13 in comparison to E12 results in higher viscosities and also in an even greater pseudoplasticity and, in particular, thixotropy, whereas the zero-shear viscosity is virtually identical.
Figures 2 and 3 illustrate the fact that E12 and E13 may be liquefied by a shear load, such as by vigorous shaking, remain liquid for about 2.5 minutes after the shear load has ceased, and subsequently gel again (form a gel) with a very sharp increase in viscosity.
