Embodiment Construction

[0013] The term “low-odor dimethicone copolyol” refers herein to dimethicone copolyol type compounds that are substantially free of propionaldehyde and acid-releasable precursors of propionaldehyde. The term “low-odor” as applied to surfactant compositions of this invention means that the discernible sensory odor characteristic of the composition is improved, and deemed cosmetically desirable, relative the discernible odor of a counterpart composition having a relatively high content of propionaldehyde, or acid precursors thereof (e.g., greater than about 3200 ppm).

[0014] The dimethicone copolyol sulfosuccinate compositions of the present invention preferably are prepared by reacting the ethoxylated polyether side chains of a dimethicone copolyol with maleic anhydride to form a monoester. The side chains involved in this reaction are a polymer or copolymer of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, butylene oxide, tetrahydrofuran, and / or glycerol. Preferably, the side chains involved in t...

Abstract

Dimethicone copolyol sulfosuccinate surfactant compounds having low-odor characteristics are disclosed. The low-odor dimethicone copolyol sulfosuccinate is substantially free from propionaldehyde and acid-releasable precursors of propionaldehyde, thereby substantially eliminating the cosmetically undesirable odor characteristic of conventional dimethicone copolyol sulfosuccinate surfactants. The low-odor dimethicone copolyol sulfosuccinates are suitable for use as surfactants in household or personal care products and applications.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to sulfosuccinate surfactants. More particularly, this invention relates to silicone-based sulfosuccinate surfactants having low-odor characteristics. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Sulfosuccinate surfactants have been used in the cosmetic industry primarily to improve the mildness of skin cleansers, shampoos and other personal care products. Such surfactants are usually diesters or monoesters, with the monoester being preferred because of its mildness and foam enhancement properties. Prior to the development of dimethicone copolyol sulfosuccinates, which are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,717,498 to Maxon, which is incorporated herein by reference, primarily two half ester or monoester derivatives had been used for shampoos. Such derivatives included derivatives of monoalcohol amides, such as oleamide MEA, oleamide IPA and undecylenamide MEA, and derivatives of fatty alcohols and ethoxylated alcohols, such as lauryl, laureth an...
