This application relates to the field of sheet-like detergent products, and more specifically, to a detergent tablet free of SLS surfactant and its preparation method.
With increasing demand of the people for a better life and concern for environmental protection, they pay attention not only to product performance, but also to product safety.
Sodium alkyl sulfate, also known as “fatty alcohol sodium sulfate”, represented by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SLS), is currently the most widely used surfactant in liquid and solid detergent products. SLS, as an anionic surfactant, has strong penetration and dispersion properties, thus possessing strong cleaning power. In addition, SLS has good emulsifying, foaming, and foaming properties, and is currently the most commonly used and extensively used anionic surfactant in cleaning products. It is also an important component that determines the forming and moisture and drying resistance stability of detergent tablet.
However, SLS is a typical skin chemical irritant with strong permeability and irritation, and has strong degreasing power, so that long term exposure may cause skin irritation damage, rash, itching, redness and swelling, and other allergic reactions. In addition, excessive inhalation of SLS may have irritating effects on the respiratory tract. Long term exposure to products containing SLS poses certain risks to both consumers and production workers. In addition, although SLS has good biodegradability, newly discharged and undecomposed SLS entering aquatic ecosystems can cause acute damage to bacteria, microalgae, crustaceans, and fish.
In the skin irritation test (OECD TG439), 5% SLS is used as a positive control to evaluate whether the test substance is irritating. At present, the amount of SLS added to detergent tablets far exceeds 5%. For example, in the existing technology, the addition amount of SLS for detergent tablets in China patent publication no. CN112041418A is 20-36%; in China patent publication no. CN110042004A, SLS addition amount in the anti-staining detergent tablet is 35%; in China patent publication no. CN115651778A, SLS addition amount in the fragrance type detergent tablet is 13-20%; and, in China patent publication no. CN106867710A, SLS addition amount in the detergent tablet is 20-30%.
It can be seen that SLS is widely used in detergent tablets and has a significant impact on the molding and moisture and drying stability of the tablets. However, long-term exposure can cause certain irritation to the skin, respiratory tract, and other areas.
In addition, solid detergent products such as detergent tablets/blocks often do not require a measuring tool for dosage in use, and can be directly added and used in a single tablet/block manner. Therefore, there are certain requirements for the weight and cleaning power of the product, especially for flake detergents. Flake detergent is easy to use and has lightweight. In order to achieve better cleaning performance, enzyme preparations are usually added to achieve strong cleaning. Enzyme preparation can effectively decompose stubborn large molecule stains such as milk stains, sweat stains, and rice stains into small molecule water-soluble substances, and have a mild, safe, and specific effect on decomposing stains, which can enhance the cleaning ability of washing products.
However, SLS has a significant impact on enzyme activity. During the production process, enzyme activity is disrupted by SLS. In addition, the shelf life of detergent products is relatively long. With the increase of storage time, the surfactants in detergent products will gradually destroy the spatial conformation of enzymes, causing a decrease in enzyme activity and thus affecting the cleaning effect of detergent products.
Using no SLS has a significant impact on the formation and moisture and drying stability of a detergent tablet, and using SLS can prevent enzymes from fully exerting their cleaning effects.
In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a detergent tablet free of SLS surfactant and its preparation method.
Firstly, the present application provides a detergent tablet free of SLS surfactant, adopting the following technical solution:
In the technical solution provided in this application, SLS is not used. By selecting specific types of anionic surfactants, non-ionic surfactants, and film-forming agents to work together, the effect of using no SLS on the formation of sheet detergent is compensated. Thereby, the present application can not only obtain sheet-like detergent, but also obtain a detergent endowed with good moisture and drying resistance, as well as quick dissolving in water.
Without using SLS, the decontamination ability of enzyme preparation is no longer suppressed, and the special system of anionic surfactants, non-ionic surfactants, and film-forming agents of specific types also provides a good foundation for the decontamination of enzyme preparation. Moreover, even after long-term storage, enzyme preparation can still play a significant role in cleaning detergent tablet.
Specifically, in this special system, it can promote the adsorption of sodium α-olefin sulfonate, sodium fatty acid methyl ester sulfonate, and sodium hydroxyethyl sulfonate on the surface of enzyme molecules, forming a protective film to prevent enzyme molecules from being attacked by harmful substances from outside, thereby protecting the integrity and activity of enzyme molecules, improving the catalytic efficiency of enzymes, and further enhancing the cleaning power of detergent products. The specially selected non-ionic surfactants have a weaker effect on the central charge of enzyme sites in special systems, and have a smaller impact on enzyme activity, which can further ensure the activity and integrity of enzyme preparation.
In particular, plant saponins, alkyl glycoside, alcohol ether glycosides, etc., as new green surfactants, can significantly reduce the surface tension of the detergent, improve the decontamination effect, and have good foam stability and permeability.
This application further limits the types of chelating agent used in special systems. The organic acid/salt structure contains hydroxyl, carboxyl, and carboxyl groups, which have good chelating ability for various metal ions, helping to remove metal ions from water and prevent their deposition. In addition, it has a certain corrosion inhibition effect on metals and provides protection for production equipment, washing machines, and metal water pipes during production and use.
Preferably, the film-forming agents are film-forming agent A and film-forming agent B, wherein film-forming agent A is polyvinyl alcohol and film-forming agent B is cellulose;
Preferred cellulose is at least one of modified hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose.
By adopting the above technical solutions, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, and dodecenyl succinate starch ester have the advantages of acid-base stability, biodegradability, and resistance to salt precipitation. Blending with polyvinyl alcohol can increase the viscosity of the slurry and enhance its storage moisture resistance.
The anionic surfactants are sodium α-olefin sulfonate and sodium fatty acid methyl ester sulfonate.
Preferably, based on the weight percentage of the slurry, the polyvinyl alcohol is 10-26% and the cellulose is 1-5%; and the sodium α-olefin sulfonate is 15-25%, and the sodium fatty acid methyl ester sulfonate is 5-15%.
Preferably, the non-ionic surfactant is at least two of fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether, fatty acid methyl ester ethoxylate, and oil ethoxylate.
Preferably, based on the weight percentage of the slurry, the fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether is 1-5%.
Preferably, based on the weight percentage of the slurry, the oil ethoxylate is 1-5%.
Preferably, based on the weight percentage of the slurry, the fatty acid methyl ester ethoxylate is 1-5%.
The preferred non-ionic surfactants are oil ethoxylate and alkyl glycoside.
Preferably, based on the weight percentage of the slurry, the oil ethoxylate is 1-5%, and the alkyl glycoside is 0.1-2%.
Preferred non-ionic surfactants include fatty acid methyl ester ethoxylate and plant saponins.
Preferably, based on the weight percentage of the slurry, the fatty acid methyl ester ethoxylate is 3-7%, and the plant saponin is 0.1-3%.
By adopting the above technical solution, the selection and dosage combination of anionic surfactants are further limited, and the combination and dosage combination of non-ionic surfactants are further limited, so that there is a better coordination effect between non-ionic surfactants, anionic surfactants, film-forming agents and enzyme preparation, which can compensate for the impact of using no SLS and enhance the cleaning, moisture resistance, dryness resistance and other properties of detergent tablet.
It is worth mentioning that sodium α-olefin sulfonate and sodium fatty acid methyl ester sulfonate are a type of anionic surfactant with high foaming, good hydrolysis stability, and strong resistance to hard water. With further limitations in this application, they can more fully improve the pH value and ionic strength of the washing environment, creating a more suitable environment for enzyme preparation.
Preferably, the slurry further includes 0-25% filler.
Preferably, the filler includes at least one of corn starch, pea starch, cassava starch, zeolite, bentonite, kaolin, sodium sulfate, sodium carbonate, and sodium bicarbonate.
When the amount of surfactant added is low, fillers can be used to assist in forming; and also serve washing aid function. Among them, zeolite, bentonite, and kaolin are natural chelating agent with layered or porous structures. They capture and fix metal ions such as calcium and magnesium in water through electrostatic adsorption or ion exchange. In addition, they have a large specific surface area and can adsorb oil stains and prevent them from depositing on fabrics again.
Preferably, the enzyme preparation includes at least two of cellulase, protease, amylase, lipase, pectinase, mannanase, and phosphodiesterase.
Preferably, the auxiliary agent includes at least one of glycerol, propylene glycol, and glucose alcohol.
Secondly, the present application provides a method for preparing detergent tablet without SLS surfactants, adopting the following technical solution:
In summary, this application has the following beneficial effects.
The following provides further detailed explanations of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples.

Performance Testing Experiment
Test 1: Cleanness
According to GB/T 13174-2021 “Determination of cleaning power and cyclic washing performance of detergent tablets”, the washing water was 250 mg/kg of CaCl2 hard water, and the test cloth was national standard carbon black JB-01 dirty cloth, national standard protein JB-02 dirty cloth, and national standard sebum JB-03 dirty cloth. Using 0.2% standard detergent tablet as a control, the stain removal ratio Pi was obtained. The test results were shown in Tables 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, and 1-4, respectively.
In particular, Pi≥1.0 was considered qualified, and Pi<1.0 was considered unqualified.
Δ A was the difference in whitenesses of the test fabric before and after washing by using the detergent tablet
Δ B was the difference in whitenesses of the test fabric before and after washing with standard detergent tablet
In the case of using enzyme preparation, sodium dodecyl sulfate was simultaneously used in Comparative Example 1-2. According to the detection results in Table 1-1, it can be seen that, compared with Example 1, the cleaning ability of the enzyme preparation cannot be fully utilized, and Comparative Example 1-2 destroyed the combination of anionic surfactants, non-ionic surfactants, and film-forming agents, resulting in a significant decrease in cleaning ability. The chelating agent used in Example 1 were gluconic acid and sodium gluconate, and the cleaning ability of this combination was better than that of Comparative Example 3 using citric acid and sodium citrate. It is speculated that this may be due to the stronger chelating ability of grape acid and its salts compared to citric acid and its salts, which enhances the cleaning power of detergent tablet in hard water.
SLS was added to the detergent tablet of Comparative Examples 1 and 2, so theoretically, their stain removal ability should be stronger than that of mild surfactants. However, due to the influence of SLS on enzyme preparation, the decontamination ability of enzyme preparation cannot be fully utilized, so the decontamination effect of Comparative Examples 1-2 was far inferior to that of Examples 1-3.
According to the test data in Table 1, it can be seen that the detergent tablet of Examples 1-3 exhibit strong stain removal ability during storage of 1, 3, and 7 days.
Test 2: Moisture Resistance
A box of detergent tablets (stacked on top of each other) was placed in a testing environment with a temperature of (25±2° C.) and a relative humidity of (85±5) %. The test was repeated for 4 groups, and one group was taken out at 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours, respectively. Then two detergent tablets were separated and observe whether there was adhesion between them was observed. The results were recorded in Table 2.
The adhesion phenomenon can assume no adhesion (the tablets can be directly separated from each other), slight adhesion (the tablets can be forcibly separated, with no damage to the adhesion surface), obvious adhesion (some areas of the tablets were directly adhered together, unable to separate), and severe adhesion (there are mutual adhesion at some areas, unable to separate).
According to the test data in Table 2, it can be seen that the detergent tablets of Examples 1-5 do not break during forming and exhibit excellent moisture resistance and high stability at 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours.
The adhesion phenomena of the detergent tablet in Examples 1-3 at 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours are shown in
Reference is made to
Test 3: Drying Resistance
According to QB/T5779-2023 “Detergent Tablets”, the detergent tablet was placed in a temperature testing environment of (55±2)° C., an analytical balance was used to weigh the weight of the detergent tablets before and after testing, and the weight loss rate was calculated and recorded in Table 3.
A weight loss rate greater than 15.0% was considered unqualified, while a rate less than or equal to 15% was considered qualified.
At the same time, the shape of the removed detergent tablet was observed and recorded as forming stability in Table 3.
Although the detergent tablet of Comparative Example 10 has a low weight loss rate and was successfully formed, it was not soft and has a brittle texture. After losing moisture, it was more likely to have cracks on the surface, not drying resistant, and break into fragments. Therefore, it was judged as unqualified.
Test 4: Solubility
According to QB/T5779-2023 “detergent tablets”, a 1 L beaker was filled with 700 mL of hard water (250 mg/kg of calcium chloride), and placed in a water bath environment at (23±2° C.) The stirring speed of magnetic stirring was adjusted. The detergent tablet was cut into 3 cm*3 cm square pieces, and was thrown vertically into water at a place of 10 cm parallel to the water surface. Timing was started when the detergent tablet touches the water surface, and stopped when the sample was completely dispersed in water, thereby obtaining the dissolving time. The tests were repeated for 3 times.
The dissolving time was recorded in Table 4.
Although the moisture resistance stability of ratios 10 and 11 was good, in the detection of solubility, the dissolving time was longer and the overall performance was poor.
Comparative Example 12 was a detergent tablet containing SLS, while Comparative Examples 13 and 14 were detergent tablets made by completely or partially replacing SLS with other anionic surfactants. When completely replacing the SLS component (Comparative Example 13), the detergent tablet cannot be formed. When partially replacing SLS (Comparative Example 14), although it can be successfully formed, its moisture and drying resistance stability was poor. Under 24-hour high humidity environment, the detergent tablet slightly adheres, and under 55° C. drying environment, the weight loss rate of the detergent tablet was greater than 15%, and it becomes uneven fragments, which belongs to unqualified detergent tablets. This indicates that SLS was a key component for the molding and stability of detergent tablets. Simply replacing SLS with other surfactants cannot obtain qualified and stable detergent tablets.
Without using SLS, this application selects a specific system to produce detergent tablet, which have fast dissolving, good moisture and drying resistance, and excellent stain removal effect, and have good development prospects.
This specific embodiment is only an explanation of the present application and is not a limitation of the present application. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications to the present embodiment as needed, without paying creative contributions. However, as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present application, they are protected by the Patent Law.
