Abstract
What are described are compositions comprising a) one or more sugar amines of the formula (I) in which R1 and R2 are independently H, CH3 or 2-hydroxyethyl and/or one or more corresponding protonated sugar amines with the counterion R—COO— in which R is defined as R from the substances of component b) below, and b) one or more substances selected from the group consisting of fatty acids of the formula R—COOH, fatty acid salts of the formula R—COO-M+ and mixtures thereof, in which R is a linear or branched saturated alkyl radical having 11 to 21 carbon atoms or a linear or branched, mono- or polyunsaturated alkenyl radical having 11 to 21 carbon atoms and M+ is a counterion. The compositions described are very advantageous, for example, for production of liquid washing compositions, and of shower gels, liquid soaps or face cleansers. In addition, the sugar amines are advantageously suitable as neutralizing agents for fatty acids.
Description

The invention relates to compositions comprising one or more sugar amines and/or protonated sugar amines with fatty acid anions as counterions and one or more fatty acids and/or fatty acid salts, to the use of such compositions for producing liquid detergents or shower baths, liquid soaps or face cleansers, and to the use of the sugar amines as neutralizing agents for fatty acids. The invention furthermore relates to salts of sugar amines and fatty acids.


The use of sugar amines in detergents and cosmetics is already known from the prior art.


DE 42 38 211 C1 describes detergent mixtures comprising specific cationic sugar surfactants, for example derived from glucamines, and the use thereof for producing e.g. detergents and products for hair care and body care. The detergent mixtures are characterized inter alia by a high cold water solubility or cold water dispersibility and can be processed without problems to give highly concentrated, low viscosity solutions or dispersions.


DE 198 08 824 C1 discloses hair treatment compositions with a content of at least one polymer with acidic groups, such as e.g. carboxylic acid groups, and at least one N-unsubstituted or N-substituted polyhydroxyamine with at least four hydroxyl groups, such as e.g. glucamine, and moreover the use of at least one N-unsubstituted or N-substituted polyhydroxyamine with at least four hydroxyl groups in hair treatment compositions for the neutralization of polymers with acidic groups.


EP 1 676 831 A1 describes polyhydroxyalkylamines disubstituted on the nitrogen, such as e.g. N,N-dialkylglucamines, where both substituents each contain 2 to 30 carbon atoms. Furthermore, a large number of application possibilities for the polyhydroxyalkylamines disubstituted on the nitrogen is also disclosed, such as e.g. the use in aqueous liquid detergents or in shampoos, liquid body cleansing formulations, hair conditioning formulations and aqueous sunscreen formulations.


EP 1 529 832 A1 discloses metal working fluids comprising aminopolyols such as, for example, D-glucamine, methylglucamine, ethylglucamine or hydroxyethylglucamine. Moreover, it is described for example that aminopolyols and preferably amino sugars can be used e.g. as neutralizing and reaction component in coating compositions, cosmetics, physiological solutions and carrier substances for medicaments.


EP 614 881 describes the preparation of tertiary dialkylpolyhydroxyamines, such as e.g. dimethylglucamine.


Fatty acids and salts thereof (where the salts of the fatty acids are also referred to as “fatty acid soaps”) are highly valuable ingredients of detergents and cleaners. However, typical soap solutions are only homogeneous at a relatively high pH and are often relatively viscous and have inadequate solubility specifically at tendentially lower pH values.


It was therefore the object to provide novel compositions which produce low viscosity, homogeneous solutions of fatty acids or fatty acid soaps in aqueous compositions over a broad pH range and thus facilitate the incorporation of longer-chain fatty acids and/or fatty acid soaps in detergents and cleaners.


Surprisingly, it has now been found that this object is achieved by compositions comprising


a) one or more substances selected from the group consisting of sugar amines of the formula (I), protonated sugar amines of the formula (Ia) and mixtures thereof

in which


R1 and R2, independently of one another, are H, CH3 or 2-hydroxyethyl and


R has the meaning of R from the substances of component b) below


and


b) one or more substances selected from the group consisting of fatty acids of the formula R—COOH, fatty acid salts of the formula R—COOM+ and mixtures thereof, in which


R is a linear or branched saturated alkyl radical having 11 to 21 carbon atoms or a linear or branched mono- or polyunsaturated alkenyl radical having 11 to 21 carbon atoms and


M+ is a counterion, preferably selected from the group consisting of NH4+, organic ammonium ions [HNR5R6R7]+, where R5, R6 and R7, independently of one another, can be a linear or branched saturated alkyl group having 1 to 22 carbon atoms, a linear or branched, mono- or polyunsaturated alkenyl group having 2 to 22 carbon atoms, a C6-C22-alkylamidopropyl group, a linear monohydroxyalkyl group having 2 to 10 carbon atoms or a linear or branched dihydroxyalkyl group having 3 to 10 carbon atoms, and where at least one of the radicals R5, R6 and R7 is not hydrogen, Li+, Na+, K+, ½Ca++, ½Mg++, ½Zn++ or % Al+++ and mixtures of these ions.


The invention therefore provides compositions comprising


a) one or more substances selected from the group consisting of sugar amines of the formula (I), protonated sugar amines of the formula (Ia) and mixtures thereof

in which


R1 and R2, independently of one another, are H, CH3 or 2-hydroxyethyl and


R has the meaning of R from the substances of component b) below


and


b) one or more substances selected from the group consisting of fatty acids of the formula R—COOH, fatty acid salts of the formula R—COOM+ and mixtures thereof, in which


R is a linear or branched saturated alkyl radical having 11 to 21 carbon atoms or a linear or branched mono- or polyunsaturated alkenyl radical having 11 to 21 carbon atoms and


M+ is a counterion, preferably selected from the group consisting of NH4+, organic ammonium ions [HNR5R6R7]+, where R5, R6 and R7, independently of one another, can be a linear or branched saturated alkyl group having 1 to 22 carbon atoms, a linear or branched, mono- or polyunsaturated alkenyl group having 2 to 22 carbon atoms, a C6-C22-alkylamidopropyl group, a linear monohydroxyalkyl group having 2 to 10 carbon atoms or a linear or branched dihydroxyalkyl group having 3 to 10 carbon atoms, and where at least one of the radicals R5, R6 and R7 is not hydrogen, Li+, Na+, K+, ½Ca++, ½Mg++, ½Zn++ or % Al+++ and mixtures of these ions.


As already mentioned, the compositions according to the invention have the advantage for example that they produce homogeneous solutions of fatty acids or fatty acid salts in aqueous compositions that are of low viscosity over a broad pH range.


In the compositions according to the invention, the radical R in the protonated sugar amines of the formula (Ia) has the meaning of R from the substances of component b) of the compositions according to the invention. This means that the radical R in the protonated sugar amines of the formula (Ia) also then assumes the meaning of R from the substances of the component b) of the compositions according to the invention if R in the substances of component b) of the compositions according to the invention assumes preferred, particularly preferred, especially preferred meanings etc.

5 g of oleic acid were introduced into 95 g of water (two-phase) and admixed with increasing molar amounts of different neutralizing agents up to 100 mol % of neutralizing agent. During this, the viscosity was determined (Brookfield, 20° C., 20 revolutions per minute (rpm), spindle 1 or 2), the homogeneity of the resulting solution was observed and the pH was measured (see table 1).


The following values are listed in table 1 and the following abbreviations were used therein:


The upper number in the respective lines of table 1 gives the measured viscosity in mPa·s.


“T” means: the solution is two-phase.


“C” means: the solution is clear.


“H” means: the solution is homogeneous, but cloudy.


The lower number in the respective lines of table 1 gives the measured pH. Here, “n.d.” means not determined.

It can be seen from the values in table 1 that in the case of neutralization of oleic acid with dimethylglucamine, low viscosity, homogeneous solutions result even at low degrees of neutralization. Homogeneous solutions are already obtained above a pH of 8.0.
