Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present application relates to the technical field of detergent materials, and in particular to a two-in-one solid detergent composition and a preparation method thereof.


BACKGROUND ART

Conventional detergents used for cleaning clothes such as fabrics are generally in a liquid state, which requires a large amount of packaging materials due to its high-water content, large volume, and has high transportation cost and a risk of leakage during storage and use. In view of this case, there are two significant methods for improving. In one method, a liquid detergent is concentrated and coated to be prepared to be granular, but coating film with high cost is needed and the preparation method is complicated. In the other method, the liquid detergent is directly prepared into a solid detergent with a regular or irregular shape, such as a sheet, granule, rod, tube shape and the like, and when the solid detergent is put into a washing apparatus, such as a washing machine, the solid detergent rapidly decomposes and disperses when it encounters water, and dissolves in the water, so as to achieve a washing effect.


Existing preparation methods of the solid detergent have the following challenges: (1) each detergent ingredient in a liquid state is compounded to form a stable solid state, and it is required that the softening or raw material ingredient precipitation does not occur at least at 60° C., and the performance is stable; (2) the water absorption capacity of the solid detergent is poor, but it may rapidly be decomposed and dispersed, dissolved in water, and quickly exert a washing effect; (3) it may exert at least the same washing effect as liquid detergent does, and there is no residue after rinsing; (4) when the cationic softener is added together to the solid detergent, precipitation of the cationic softener and the anionic surfactant shall be avoided due to the mutual adsorption of positive and negative charges with the anionic surfactant in the detergent, thereby affecting the performance thereof. Related art Chinese invention application patent CN116194562A discloses a detergent sheet. In order to avoid the adsorption and precipitation of a cationic softener and an anionic surfactant added in the detergent sheet, thereby affecting the performance thereof, the softener is coated with polyethylene glycol/polypropylene glycol first, then loaded on a carrier such as bentonite, and prepared into solid particles by a drying method such as spray drying, and then the solid particles together with the other ingredients of the detergent are prepared into the detergent sheet. The preparation steps of the detergent sheet are added in this method, and an additional drying apparatus is required, such as a spray drying apparatus, which extends the process period and increases the cost.


Therefore, it is necessary to further study the raw material selection and preparation method of a washing and softening two-in-one detergent sheet, and prepare a detergent sheet with a good effect and an easy preparation method.

Accordingly, unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by a person skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs. In case of conflict, the present description will control.


On one hand, the present application provides a two-in-one solid detergent composition including the following raw material components based on 100% weight: 10% to 30% of (a) a forming agent, 10% to 50% of (b) a surfactant, 5% to 20% of (c) a softener, 10% to 30% of (d) a forming aid, and optionally 0.1% to 1% of (e) a softening conditioner, 0.1% to 1% of (f) a forming stabilizer, 1% to 10% of (g) a water softener, 1% to 10% of (h) a stain solubilizer or 0.1% to 5% of (i) a flavoring agent, and balance of deionized water.


(a) Forming Agent

The forming agent plays a forming role in the solid detergent composition and has good water solubility, and may be one or more selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl alcohol crosslinked polymer, polyvinyl pyrrolidone and vinyl acetate-vinyl alcohol copolymer. Taking the polyvinyl alcohol PVA as an example, the alcoholysis degree of the PVA of the present application is 86%-89%, and the PVA may has a low polymerization degree (a number-average molecular weight of 20,000-100,000), a medium polymerization degree (a number-average molecular weight of 120,000-150,000), a high polymerization degree (a number-average molecular weight of 170,000-220,000) or an ultra-high polymerization degree (a number-average molecular weight of 250,000-300,000). As an example, the PVA may be BP-05, BP-17, PVA17-88, and the like. As an example, the polyvinylpyrrolidone PVP may be PVP K30, PVP K60, PVP K90 and the like.


In the present application, further, the weight proportion of the forming agent in the detergent composition may be 10% to 25%, and by way of example, may be any one of 10%, 12%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 18%, 20%, 22%, 24%, 25% and the like.


(b) Surfactant

A surfactant is a major ingredient that exerts the washing effect of a detergent. In the present application, the surfactant includes an anionic surfactant and a non-ionic surfactant, and a weight proportion of the anionic surfactant to the non-ionic surfactant may be 1:9-9:1. In particular, the anionic surfactant has a structure R1 (EO)nR2M, where n=1-15, R1 is C4-C20 hydrocarbyl or C4-C20 substituted hydrocarbyl, R2 is one or more selected from the group consisting of sulfate ions, sulfonate ions, phosphate ions and carboxylate ions, M is alkali metal ions or ammonium ions, and EO represents —CH2CH2O—. By way of example, the anionic surfactant may be C12H25(EO)3OSO3Na, C8H17(EO)2OSO3Na, C12H25(EO)3OSO3NH4, C15H31(EO)4OSO3Na, C12H25O(EO)4CH2CH2SO3Na, C15H31O(EO)5CH2CH2SO3Na, C18H37O(EO)5CH2CH2SO3Na, C12-14H25-29O(EO)10CH2COONa, C12-14H25-29O(EO)8CH2COONa and the like. The non-ionic surfactant is not particularly limited, and by way of example, may be alkyl glucoside, maltoside, alcohol ether glycoside, fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether AEO-3, AEO-7, AEO-9, AEO-12, alkanolamide, isomeric decanol polyoxyethylene ether, isomeric tridecanol polyoxyethylene ether, secondary alcohol polyoxyethylene ether, EO-PO block polyoxyethylene ether, and fatty acid oil ester ethoxylate.


The anionic surfactant and the non-ionic surfactant may be compounded to achieve good cleaning and deterging effect. In the present application, since the washing and softening two-in-one solid detergent composition of the present application contains a softener, the softener is generally cationic, and it is easy to have anion and cation adsorption with an anionic surfactant, to affect the water solubility and cause precipitation, which affects the product stability, washing and softening effects of the detergent. The applicant has found that the use of an anionic surfactant having an ethoxy structure, when mixed with a softener, would not result in precipitation, and does not affect the cleaning and softening effect of the detergent composition.


In the present application, the weight of the anionic surfactant and the non-ionic surfactant and the weight proportion thereof in the surfactant are not particularly limited, but generally above 60% is preferred. In addition, the weight proportion of the anionic surfactant to the non-ionic surfactant in the surfactant may further be 6:1 to 1:3, and by way of example, the weight proportion may be any one of 6:1, 5:1, 4:1, 3:1, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 and the like.


In the present application, the surfactant may further include a zwitterionic surfactant. The zwitterionic surfactant has a relatively low toxicity and irritation, and has good wettability and foaming property, and also has a certain bactericidal and mold inhibition property, and may produce additivity when it is compounded with an anionic surfactant and/or a non-ionic surfactant. The zwitterionic surfactant may be selected from betaine type, amine oxide type or imidazoline type, or a combination of two or more thereof, and by way of example, may be cocoamidopropyl betaine, lauroylamidopropyl betaine, cocoamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, cocoamidopropyl amine oxide, lauroylamidopropyl amine oxide, disodium cocoamphodiacetate, disodium lauroylamphodiacetate and the like. The weight proportion of the zwitterionic surfactant in the surfactant is 10% to 40%, and by way of example, the weight proportion may be any one of 10%, 12%, 15%, 18%, 20%, 22%, 25%, 27%, 30%, 32%, 35%, 37%, 40% and the like.


In the present application, further, the weight proportion of the surfactant in the detergent may be 20% to 40%, and by way of example, may be any one of 20%, 22%, 24%, 25%, 26%, 28%, 30%, 32%, 33%, 35%, 37%, 38%, 40% by weight and the like.


(c) Softener

The addition of a softener to the detergent composition of the present application may improve the softness, smoothness and anti-static properties of the fabric and make it more comfortable to wear. In particular, the softener may be one or more selected from the group consisting of an amino silicone oil, an amino silicone oil emulsion, an amino silicone oil microemulsion and a cationic polysiloxane and an emulsion thereof. The amino silicone oil emulsion and the amino silicone oil microemulsion are generally acidic and the amino groups are positively charged, which may improve the stability of the emulsion or microemulsion. Cationic polysiloxanes generally refer to silicones of the quaternary ammonium type, i.e. containing quaternary ammonium groups in the side chain structure of the silicone molecule. The softener may also be compounded by two or more different softeners, especially one of which is cationic (such as amino silicone oil emulsion, amino silicone oil microemulsion, quaternary ammonium salt type silicone emulsion and the like), so as to exert synergistic effects and improve the effects. By way of example, the softener may be a combination of polyether-modified polysiloxane and amino silicone oil emulsion in a weight ratio of 1:2-10, combination of polyether-modified polysiloxane and amino silicone oil microemulsion in a weight ratio of 1:2-10, combination of polyether-modified polysiloxane and quaternary ammonium salt type silicone emulsion in a weight ratio of 1:2-10, and combination of amino silicone oil emulsion and quaternary ammonium salt type silicone emulsion in a weight ratio of 5:1-1:5 and the like.


In the present application, further, the weight proportion of the softener in the detergent may be 8% to 17%, and by way of example, may be any one of 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17% and the like.

Water softener is mainly used to combine or remove Mg2+, Ca2+, Al3+ and other metal ions in water, reduce the hardness of water and avoid the interaction of these metal ions with non-ionic surfactants to affect the cleaning and deterging effect. By way of example, the water softener is typically a metal ion complexant and may be one or more selected from the group consisting of tetrasodium carboxymethyl glutamate, disodium edetate, sodium gluconate, trisodium carboxymethyl alaninate, sodium hexametaphosphate and sodium citrate. Specifically, the weight proportion of the water softener in the detergent may be any one of 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10% and the like.

In the preparation method for the above two-in-one solid detergent composition, the forming stabilizer and the softening conditioner may be pre-dissolved with a part of deionized water and formulated into a solution, respectively, and then added into the container for stirring and dissolution.


The technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail with reference to examples and comparative examples hereinafter.


Example 1

The solid detergent consisted of, based on 100% weight, 22% of BP-05, 24% of AES surfactant (commercially available from Zanyu Technology Group Co., Ltd.), 6% of AEO-9, 12% of amino silicone oil emulsion (commercially available from Lvlian (Jining) Chemical Technology Co., Ltd.), 18% of kaolin with an average particle size of 100 μm, and balance of deionized water.


The deionized water was added into a container, BP-05 was added, the temperature was raised to 90° C., the solution was stirred and dissolved, and the temperature was lowered to room temperature, AES surfactant and AEO-9 were added, stirred and dissolved evenly, then kaolin was added, stirred and dispersed evenly, then an amino silicone oil emulsion was added, stirred and dissolved evenly to obtain a detergent slurry, the obtained detergent slurry was dried via a continuous infrared drying apparatus, and molded, demolded and sliced to obtain a detergent sheet.


Example 2

Example 2 differs from Example 1 in that, 12% of amino silicone oil emulsion was replaced with a combination of 3% of polyether-modified polysiloxane (commercially available from Ji'nan Shanhai Chemical Technology Co., Ltd.) and 9% of amino silicone oil emulsion. The remaining steps were unchanged.


Example 3

Example 3 differs from Example 1 in that, the solid detergent composition also


contained 0.5% of hydroxyethyl cellulose, and the amount of deionized water was correspondingly reduced by 0.5%. The remaining steps were unchanged.


Comparative Example 1

Comparative Example 1 differs from Example 1 in that, the AES surfactant was replaced with an equal weight percentage of sodium lauryl sulfate. The remaining steps were unchanged.


Comparative Example 2

Comparative Example 2 differs from Example 1 in that, without the addition of kaolin, the amount of deionized water was increased by 18%. The remaining steps were unchanged. In slicing, the hardness of the detergent composition was found to be large, the detergent composition was easy to break during slicing.


Comparative Example 3

The raw material components of Example 1 were used. According to the related art CN116194562A, an amino silicone oil is coated with a polyethylene glycol/polypropylene glycol copolymer first and then loaded on kaolin.


Polyethylene glycol/polypropylene glycol (average molecular weight 2000, 70% of EO and 30% of PO) in an amount equal to the weight of the amino silicone oil microemulsion was placed into a container, heated to melt, the amino silicone oil emulsion and 60% kaolin were added, stirred and mixed evenly, and the molded softener particles were spray dried.


According to the preparation method of Example 1, the remaining 40% kaolin was added simultaneously with the softener particles described above.


The performance test results of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 are shown in Table 1 below.


Stability of the detergent slurry: the detergent slurry was left at room temperature for 24 hours and observed for any precipitation.


Softening temperature of the detergent sheet: the Vicat softening point test was carried out with a load of 1 kg.


Hygroscopicity of the detergent sheet: 100±1 g of the detergent sheet was placed in an environment of 37° C. and 75±1% humidity for 24 hours, and the weight of the detergent sheet before and after the placing was weighed, to calculate the weight gain rate. Weight gain rate=(weight after the placing−weight before the placing)/weight before the placing×100%. The weight gain rate is required to be 5%-10%. When the weight gain rate is too low, the detergent sheet has poor water absorption, and disperses and dissolves slowly in use; and when the weight gain rate is too high, the water absorption of the detergent sheet is too good, and it is easy to absorb water vapor gradually during the storage process, resulting in the problems of softening and adhesion.


The drying resistance of the detergent sheet: 100±1g of the detergent sheet was placed in an oven at 55±1° C. for 24 hours, the weight before and after baking was weighed, and the weight loss rate was calculated. Weight loss rate=(weight before baking−weight after baking)/weight before baking×100%. The weight loss rate is required to be ≤15%.

It can be seen from the data in Table 2 that, with the use of sodium dodecyl sulfate as the anionic surfactant in the presence of other materials such as zwitterionic surfactants, the slurry still generated precipitates. If the amount of the forming aid is insufficient, the softening temperature of the detergent sheet is affected.

National standard stain cloth and standard formulated laundry detergent were commercially available from the China Research Institute of Daily Chemical Industry.


The whiteness values before and after washing were tested one by one with a whiteness meter at 457 nm. Detergents were used at a concentration of 0.2% by weight. The whiteness value before washing was measured by taking two points respectively on the front and back sides of the test piece (the two points on each side should be symmetrical with the center), and the average value of four measurements was taken as the whiteness value before washing F1 of the test piece; the whiteness value after washing was measured by taking two points respectively on the front and back sides of the test piece (the two points on each side shall be symmetrical with the center), and the average value of four measurements was taken as the whiteness value after washing F2 of the test piece.


The whiteness value difference before and after washing (F2−F1) of each test piece was calculated in a one-to-one correspondence, and the detergency was respectively calculated for each group of test pieces. A deterging value R and a deterging ratio P of the detergent on various types of stain cloths were respectively calculated according to different types of stain cloth test pieces, and the method was as follows.


Calculation of stain cloth deterging value: the deterging value of a certain stain cloth Ri=Σ(F2i−F1i)/n;

    • where
    • i refers to ith stain cloth test piece;
    • F1i refers to the spectral reflectance before washing the ith kind of stain cloth test piece, %;
    • F2i refers to the spectral reflectance after washing the ith kind of stain cloth test piece, %;
    • n refers to the effective number of each group of stain cloth test pieces.


A result is obtained by rounding off with one number retained after a decimal point.


Calculation of the deterging ratio of the stain cloth: the deterging ratio relative to the standard laundry detergent at the ith kind of the stain cloth, Pi=R3i/R0i;

    • in the formula: R0i refers to a deterging value of the standard laundry detergent, %; R3i refers to the deterging value of a sample to be tested, %.


A result is obtained by rounding off with one number retained after a decimal point.


Determination of detergency of a detergent:

    • (1) when Pi≥1.0, the conclusion is that “the sample has the same or better detergency to the ith kind of the stain cloth than the standard laundry detergent”, which is abbreviated as “the detergency to the ith kind of stain cloth is qualified”;
    • (2) when Pi<1.0, the conclusion is that “the sample has inferior detergency to the ith kind of the stain cloth than the standard laundry detergent”, which is abbreviated as “the detergency to the ith kind of stain cloth is unqualified”.


The results are shown in Table 3 below.
