Abstract
The detergent compositions of the present invention comprising a phosphate surfactant and an amidoamine amphoteric surfactant; a hydroxysulfobetaine, aliphatic lactylate, or aliphatic glycolate, have excellent foam characteristics such as foaming property, foaming power, and rapidity of foaming, as well as excellent low-temperature stability, detergency, and mildness to the skin and hair. Therefore, these compositions can be effectively employed for shampoos and cleaning agents for infants which require not only good detergency but also a low incidence of skin irritation.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to detergent compositions.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Recently, it has been recognized that phosphate surfactants, a kind of anionic surfactant, are very mild surfactants having a low stimulus to the skin. For this reason, they are employed as a component of detergent compositions.
However, such phosphate surfactants have several disadvantages such as deficiency of foaming ability, foaming power, and low-temperature stability, all of which are essential properties required for detergent compositions. Thus, they are not yet deemed satisfactory as surfactants for detergent compositions. Therefore, there has been a demand for improvements in the properties of detergent compositions containing phosphate surfactants while preserving the advantageous characteristics of phosphate.
Alkyl phosphate can generally be obtained as a mixture of monoalkyl phosphate and dialkyl phosphate; thus phosphate surfactants contain dialkyl phosphate having poor water solubility and poor foaming power. Accordingly, when these alkyl phosphates are used as a detergent base for shampoo or skin cleaner, it is necessary to use surfactants in which the monoester content is as much as possible or in which ethylene oxide is added to alkyl groups so as to increase water solubility.
In addition, since there are problems with respect to foaming power and low-temperature stability if such particular alkyl phosphates are singly used as the main components of the detergents, a method in which auxiliaries are further added to detergents has been proposed (Japanese Patent Publication No. 51991/1983, and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 49698/1982, 103598/1983, and 74196/1984).
However, although all of these methods may improve the properties compared with single use of an alkyl phosphate, there still remain problems in that foaming power and low-temperature stability are insufficient as compared with detergents containing other ordinary surfactants as a main agent, and in that the low irritation characteristic specific to alkyl phosphates is lost. Of these methods, a method in which sulfobetaine is used as an auxiliary (Japanese Patent Publication No. 51991/1983) is a relatively excellent method from the veiwpoint of the increase in foaming power and the improvement in low-temperature stability. However, according to this method, propanesultone, which involves some fear of carcinogenesis, must be used to produce the sulfobetaine, so that the method is quite disadvantageous to industrial production of the sulfobetaine.
Further, it should be noted that the phosphate surfactants are likely to give unfavorable feeling to touch to the hair because they produce a calcium salt as they contact with water when they are rinsed, and the salt is adhered to the hair to impair the smoothness of the hair. Thus, the phosphate surfactants are not necessarily satisfactory as surfactant usable for preparing detergent compositions including shampoo compositions.
In order to ameliorate these problems, a method in which a conditioning agent such as an oil is added to a shampoo base has been generally employed. However, this method involved problems in that the addition of the conditioning agent greatly decreases the foaming and cleaning power which are the basic functions of detergents such as shampoo. Their value as commodities is thus remarkably deteriorated.
Therefore, for detergents containing phosphate surfactants, there has been a demand for improvements in their characteristics, particularly, the foam characteristics.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention made earnest studies in order to solve the above described drawbacks residing in detergent compositions containing phosphate surfactants. As a result, they found that combination use of a particular compounds with a phosphate surfactant not only improves the poor foaming property which is the drawback of such detergent compositions, but also gives good effects of the compositions, such as excellent foaming power and rapidity of foaming. Further, it improves low-temperature stability and a conditioning effect, while causing no change in the detergency and low susceptibility to skin and scalp irritation, which are inherently possessed by the phosphate surfactants. The present invention was accomplished based on the above findings.
Namely, the present invention provides detergent compositions comprising the following components (A) and (B):
(A) one or more phosphate surfactants represented by the following formula (I) or (II): ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, and R.sub.3 each independently represent a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon group having 8 to 18 carbon atoms; X and Y each independently represent a hydrogen atom, an alkali metal, ammonium, or an alkanol amine having one or more hydroxyalkyl groups having 2 to 3 carbon atoms; and l, m, and n each independently represent an integer of 0 to 10,
(B) a compound selected from the group consisting of the following compounds (1) to (3):
(1) an amidoamine amphoteric surfactant represented by the following formula (III) or (IV): ##STR2## wherein R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 each independently represent a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon group having 7 to 19 carbon atoms; M represents a hydrogen atom, an alkali metal, ammonium, or an alkanol amine having one or more hydroxyalkyl group having 2 to 3 carbon atoms,
(2) hydroxysulfobetaine represented by the following formula (V): ##STR3## wherein R.sub.6 represents a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon group having 8 to 18 carbon atoms, and R.sub.7 and R.sub.8 each independently represent a methyl or ethyl group, and
(3) a compound represented by the following formula (VI) and its salt: ##STR4## wherein RCO represents a linear or branched aliphatic acyl group having 6 to 22 carbon atoms; A represents CH.sub.3 or a hydrogen atom, and p represents an integer of 1 to 3.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION AND PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
As the phosphate surfactant which is the component (A) of the present invention, it is preferable to use a compound having 0 to 3 moles of ethylene oxide added thereto, and more preferably, a compound having an alkyl group of 12 to 14 carbon atoms without additional ethylene oxide. Preferable examples of the component (A) include sodium mono- or dilauryl phosphate, diethanolamine mono- or dilauryl phosphate, triethanolamine mono- or dilauryl phosphate, sodium mono- or dimyristyl phosphate, potassium mono- or dimyristyl phosphate, diethanolamine mono- or dimyristyl phosphate, and triethanolamine mono- or dimyristyl phosphate.
As this component (A), compounds (I) and (II) are preferably used in a weight ratio of from 10:0 to 5:5, and particularly, from 10:0 to 7:3.
As the component (B) of the present invention, the amidoamine amphoteric surfactant (1) preferably has a lauroyl, a myristoyl, or a cocoyl group as R.sub.4 CO-- in the formula (III) or R.sub.5 CO-- in the formula (IV), and an alkali metal, particularly sodium, as M in these formulae. The hydroxysulfobetaine (2) of the formula (V) preferably has methyl groups as R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 and a lauryl or myristyl group as R.sub.4, namely, it is preferable to use lauryldimethyl hydroxysulfobetaine or myristyldimethyl hydroxysulfobetaine.
As the compound (3), aliphatic lactylate or aliphatic glycolate shown by the formula (VI) is used. It is preferable that RCO in the formula (VI) has 12 to 18 carbon atoms, and examples of such compound include lauroyl lactylate, isolauroyl lactylate, myristoyl lactylate, isomyristoyl lactylate, oleoyl lactylate, isooleoyl lactylate, stearoyl lactylate, isostearoyl lactylate, lauroyl glycolate, isolauroyl glycolate, myristoyl glycolate, isomyristoyl glycolate, oleoyl glycolate, isooleoyl glycolate, stearoyl glycolate, isostearoyl glycolate and the like. Suitable salts include, for example, ammonium salts, alkali metal salts, and amine salts.
In the detergents of the present invention, when an amidoamine amphoteric surfactant (1) is used as the component (B), excellent effects can be obtained by using a betaine-type amphoteric surfactant together with the surfactant (1). This betaine-type amphoteric surfactant is preferably, for example, alkylbetaine, sulfobetaine, hydroxysulfobetaine, amidobetaine, amidosulfobetaine, or amidohydroxy sulfobetaine, which has an alkyl group of 8 to 20 carbon atoms. Of these hydroxysulfobetaine represented by the formula (V) of the compound (2) as the component (B) is particularly preferable.
The preferable mixing amount of the components (A), (B) and the betaine-type amphoteric surfactant in the detergent depends upon the kind of the compound selected as component (B). For example, when an amidoamine amphoteric surfactant (1) is used as the component (B) to form a liquid detergent, the component (A) is 5 to 50 weight % (hereinafter simply referred to as %), preferably 10 to 40%, of the composition and the component (B)-(1) is one or more parts but less than 20 parts by weight based on 20 parts of the component (A), preferably 5 to 15 parts. It is necessary to mix the betaine-type amphoteric surfactant of 0.1 or more parts but less than 10 parts by weight based on 20 parts of the component (A). When hydroxysulfobetaine (2) is used, the component (A) and the component (B)-(2) are mixed in the detergent composition in amounts such as to give proportions of 10 to 40% and 0.1 to 20%, respectively. When the compound (3) is used, the amount of component (A) used is 5 to 50% of the whole composition, preferably 10 to 40%, and the component (B)-(3) is 0.1 to 5%, preferably 0.1 to 3%. Use of the component (B)-(3) beyond this range fails to sufficiently achieve the intended effects.
In the dependent compositions of the present invention, it is possible as occasion demands to incorporate other components which are generally used in a detergent composition, for example, a humectant such as propylene glycol and glycerin, a viscosity modifier such as ethanol, an inorganic salt, a higher alcohol, hydroxymethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, and methyl cellulose, a perfume, a colorant, an ultraviolet absorber, an antioxidant, an anti-dandruff agent, a germicide, a preservative, and water.
It is preferable to incorporate a phosphonic compound and dibutylhydroxy toluene in the above detergent in order to prevent coloring and deterioration of the perfume during storage at a higher temperature. This effect of these compounds of preventing coloring and perfume deterioration in detergent compositions containing a phosphate surfactant as a main component has been newly found by the present inventors.
Typical phosphonic compounds include compounds shown by the following formula (VII): ##STR5## wherein Z represents a hydrogen atom or an alkali metal.
The amount of these phosphonic compounds added is preferably 0.2 to 5.0% relative to the total composition, preferably 0.3 to 2.0%. When the amount is less than 0.2%, they fail to prevent coloring and deterioration of the perfume even though they are used together with dibutylhydroxy toluene. if these compounds are added in excess of 5%, the odor of the phosphonic compounds themselves deteriorates and perfume deterioration cannot be prevented.
The amount of dibutylhydroxy toluene added is 0.001 to 0.5% relative to the total composition, preferably 0.01 to 0.1%. If this compound is added in an amount of under 0.001%, if fails to prevent coloring and perfume deterioration. If this compound is used in an amount exceeding 0.5%, the effect of preventing coloring and perfume deterioration substantially reaches an equilibrium state, even if it is used together with the above-described phosphonic compounds. Such amount is thus unfavorable.
There is no particular limitation with respect to the form in which the detergent compositions of the present invention are used. They can be provided in conventionally known forms, for example, liquid shampoo, cream face-washing agents, gel face-washing agents, and body shampoo.
The detergent compositions obtained by the present invention have excellent foaming characteristics such as foaming property, foaming power, and rapidity of foaming, as well as excellent low-temperature stability and detergency and mildness to the skin and hair. Therefore, these compositions can be effectively employed for shampoos, detergents for infants and the like which are required not only good detergency but also a low incidence of skin irritation.
The present invention is explained in detail with reference to the examples.
