Abstract
Description
A fabric finishing agent and a liquid detergent composition thereof. Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of daily chemical technology, and in particular to a fabric finishing agent that imparts excellent moisture absorption and quick-drying properties to fabrics and a liquid detergent composition thereof. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the promulgation and implementation of policies such as the "National Fitness Program (2021-2025)," more and more people are paying attention to personal health and an active lifestyle, forming a new trend of sports and fitness and outdoor activities. As people spend more time on sports and outdoor activities, the trend of casual wear and sportswear blending together is increasingly favored by consumers. People expect clothing to be comfortable, allowing sweat to evaporate quickly during active activities, preventing the clothing from sticking to the body / skin and keeping the body dry and comfortable; in other words, clothing needs to have excellent moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties.
[0003] Natural fibers, such as cotton, have good moisture absorption and are comfortable to wear. However, when a person sweats heavily, cotton fibers expand due to moisture absorption, reducing breathability and sticking to the skin. Simultaneously, the rate of moisture evaporation is slow, creating a cold and damp feeling. Synthetic fibers, such as polyester, have low water absorption and poor moisture permeability. Due to static electricity buildup, they easily become tangled when worn, especially during activity, leading to a stuffy feeling. Neither natural nor synthetic fibers can simultaneously possess both moisture absorption and quick-drying properties. Current methods for improving the moisture absorption and quick-drying properties of fabrics are mainly physical and chemical. Chemical methods primarily involve adding moisture-absorbing and quick-drying finishing agents during the fabric finishing stage to achieve rapid moisture absorption and dissipation for high comfort. Currently, most commonly available moisture-absorbing and quick-drying finishing agents are polyester polyethers and are typically only applied to polyester or its blends; their effectiveness on other types of fabrics is generally limited.
[0004] Clothing with good moisture-wicking properties can quickly absorb sweat, keeping the skin dry and reducing the sticky feeling. Clothing with good quick-drying properties can quickly evaporate sweat, allowing the clothing to dry quickly and avoiding the discomfort of wearing wet clothes for a long time. Only clothing with excellent moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties can provide consumers with the best wearing experience. Cotton and polyester are the most common fabric materials for consumers. Cotton fabrics have good moisture-wicking properties but poor quick-drying properties, while polyester fabrics have good quick-drying properties but lack moisture-wicking properties. The industry lacks technical solutions that can simultaneously improve the moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties of cotton and polyester fabrics. Moreover, current quick-drying finishing technologies for fabrics are concentrated in the post-fabricating finishing stage, and technologies that can achieve quick-drying finishing for cotton and polyester clothing during daily washing are even rarer.
[0005] For consumers, with rising living standards and changing consumption habits, the demand for laundry products is increasing. Beyond basic cleaning functions, they expect products to offer added value. Improving the moisture-wicking and quick-drying capabilities of clothing while removing stains is particularly important for active consumers. Therefore, the industry aims to develop detergents that effectively enhance the moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties of clothing, helping consumers improve garment comfort. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a fabric finishing agent that imparts excellent moisture absorption and quick-drying properties to washed fabrics.
[0007] Another object of the present invention is to provide a detergent composition that imparts excellent moisture absorption and quick-drying properties to fabrics after washing.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0013] 0.1% to 10% adjuvants,
[0014] The remainder is solvent;
[0015] The sum of the mass fractions of the anionic surfactant and the nonionic surfactant is ≥15%.
[0016] The fabric finishing agent is alkylated polyoxypropylene with a weight-average molecular weight of 800 to 3000 and has the following general chemical formula:

[0024] The liquid detergent composition also exhibits excellent washing and detergency performance and good appearance stability. Excellent washing and detergency performance means that the liquid detergent composition has a detergency ratio (P) ≥ 1.10 for soiled cloths containing sebum, protein, and carbon black. Good appearance stability means that after aging treatment, the liquid detergent composition remains a homogeneous system with essentially no change in color.

[0108] Moisture absorption performance test method
[0109] The moisture absorption properties described in this invention include the following aspects: (1) saturated water absorption rate; (2) water permeability time. The samples used for moisture absorption performance testing are cotton and polyester fabric samples. The cotton fabric sample is piqué fabric (weight 170 g / m²). 2 The polyester fabric sample is a pineapple weave fabric (weight 220g / m²). 2 The above fabric samples were uniformly cut into circles with a diameter of 8cm. They were washed and rinsed three times and dried according to the detergency test method in GB / T 13174-2021 Determination of detergency and recycle performance of detergents for clothing.
[0110] Saturated water absorption rate test method
[0111] The sample was conditioned to equilibration at a temperature of (20±1)℃ and a relative humidity of (65±2)%. The initial mass of the sample was measured. The sample was then placed in a container filled with deionized water. After absorbing water, the sample sank naturally. After 5 minutes, it was removed and hung vertically, flat and level. Water dripped naturally from the sample. When the time interval between two drips was greater than or equal to 30 seconds, the sample was considered to be in a saturated hygroscopic state. The sample was immediately removed and weighed. The saturated water absorption rate was calculated using the following formula.
[0112]
[0113] In the formula:
[0114] A – Saturated water absorption rate, %;
[0115] m0—The original mass of the sample before testing, in grams;
[0116] m — the mass of the sample in a saturated hygroscopic state, in grams.
[0117] The higher the saturated water absorption rate, the better the moisture absorption performance of the fabric sample. The evaluation level is based on Table 1.
[0118] Table 1 Evaluation Criteria for Saturated Water Absorption Rate
[0119]
[0120] Water permeability time test method
[0121] Under conditions of (20±1)℃ and (65±2)% relative humidity, place a 6cm diameter funnel in a 100mL conical flask, then lay the sample flat on top of the funnel. Measure 3ml of deionized water using a graduated cylinder and pour it into the center of the sample. Start timing until all the water has permeated the sample, and record the permeation time (s). The shorter the permeation time, the better the hygroscopicity of the fabric sample. The evaluation level is determined according to Table 2.
[0122] Table 2 Evaluation Level of Permeability Time
[0123]
[0124] Excellent moisture absorption performance
[0125] The liquid detergent composition of this invention can impart excellent moisture absorption properties to fabrics, meaning that the saturated water absorption rate and water permeability time of both cotton and polyester fabrics after washing are rated as "excellent". Specifically, according to the moisture absorption performance evaluation method, the saturated water absorption rate of cotton fabrics after washing is ≥200%, and the water permeability time is ≤5s; the saturated water absorption rate of polyester fabrics after washing is ≥400%, and the water permeability time is ≤5s.
[0126] Quick-drying performance test method
[0127] The quick-drying performance described in this invention includes the following aspects: (1) water stain diffusion; (2) evaporation rate. The test samples for quick-drying performance testing are cotton or polyester fabric samples. The cotton fabric sample is piqué fabric (weight 170 g / m²). 2 The polyester fabric sample is a pineapple weave fabric (weight 220g / m²). 2 All samples were uniformly cut into circles with a diameter of 8cm. They were washed, rinsed three times, and dried according to the detergency test method in GB / T 13174-2021 Determination of detergency and recycle performance of detergents for clothing.
[0128] Water stain diffusion test method
[0129] Under an environment of (20±1)℃ and (65±2)% relative humidity, use a pipette to take 0.5ml of deionized water and drop it into the center of the sample (try to drop it in a circular shape). Let it stand for 3 minutes, take a picture, and use ImageJ software to calculate the water stain diffusion area. In the water stain diffusion experiment, the larger the water stain diffusion area, the less water accumulates, the more it diffuses to the surroundings, the easier the moisture evaporates, and the better the quick-drying properties of the fabric. The evaluation level is as shown in Table 3.
[0130] Table 3 Evaluation Levels of Water Stain Diffusion
[0131]
[0132] Evaporation rate experimental method
[0133] The sample was conditioned to humidity equilibrium at (20±1)℃ and (65±2)% relative humidity. The original mass of the sample was measured, and then the sample was placed in a container filled with deionized water. After absorbing water, the sample sank naturally. After 5 minutes, it was removed and hung vertically flat. Water dripped naturally from the sample. When the time interval between two water drips was greater than or equal to 30 seconds, the sample was considered to be in a saturated hygroscopic state. The sample was immediately removed and hung vertically in a constant temperature and humidity chamber at 35±1℃ and 95±2% humidity. The mass was measured every hour to calculate the water absorption rate. After five consecutive weighings, a time-water absorption rate curve was plotted. A linear regression analysis was performed on the curve using Excel software to calculate the slope. The absolute value of the slope was taken as the evaporation rate (%) / h. A higher evaporation rate indicates better quick-drying properties of the fabric sample. The evaluation level was determined according to Table 4.

[0135]
[0136] Excellent quick-drying performance
[0137] The liquid detergent composition of the present invention can impart excellent quick-drying properties to fabrics, that is, the water stain diffusion and evaporation rate of cotton and polyester fabrics after washing are rated as "excellent". Specifically, according to the quick-drying performance evaluation method, the water stain diffusion area of cotton fabric after washing is ≥50% and the evaporation rate is ≥29% / h; the water stain diffusion area of polyester fabric after washing is ≥50% and the evaporation rate is ≥60% / h.
[0138] Washing and stain removal performance test method
[0139] The detergency testing of the aged liquid detergent composition was conducted according to GB / T 13174-2021, "Determination of Detergency and Recycled Washing Performance of Detergents for Clothing". Three types of soiled fabrics—sebum, protein, and carbon black—were used, and their pre-wash whiteness (W1) was measured using a WSD-3U fluorescence whiteness meter from Beijing Kangguang Optical Instrument Co., Ltd. Washing water with a hardness of 250 ppm was prepared according to GB / T 13174-2021, with a calcium-to-magnesium ion molar ratio of 3:2.
[0140] The liquid detergent composition was prepared into a 0.06% solution using 250 ppm of washing water. A standard laundry detergent conforming to GB / T13174-2021 "Determination of detergency and recycle performance of detergents for clothing" was used as a reference, and a 0.2% solution was prepared using 250 ppm of washing water.
[0141] A single wash was performed using an RHLQ vertical stain remover from the China Daily Chemical Industry Research Institute. The wash time was 20 minutes, the wash temperature was 30℃, and the agitation speed was 120 rpm. The three types of soiled cloths were rinsed, dried, and their whiteness (W2) after washing was measured using a WSD-3U fluorescent whiteness meter. The whiteness difference (ΔW) was calculated as follows:
[0142] △W = W2 - W1.
[0143] W2: Whiteness of the soiled cloth after washing.
[0144] W1: Whiteness of the soiled cloth before washing.
[0145] The smaller the △W value, the smaller the difference in whiteness of the soiled cloth before and after washing, and the worse the washing performance of the detergent composition.
[0146] Using the control value △W as a benchmark, calculate the detergency ratio P of the detergent composition according to the following formula, and keep the result to two decimal places.
[0147] P = △W i / △W I ,
[0148] △W i Whiteness difference of the detergent composition
[0149] △W I : Whiteness difference compared to the control group.
[0150] Excellent washing and stain removal performance
[0151] The term "excellent washing and detergency performance" in this invention refers to a liquid detergent composition having a detergency ratio P of 1.10 or greater for all three types of soiled fabrics: sebum, protein, and carbon black, according to the test method in GB / T 13174-2021 "Determination of detergency and cyclic washing performance of detergents for clothing".
[0152] Test methods for appearance stability
[0153] The appearance of the liquid detergent composition after aging treatment was evaluated visually, using the liquid detergent composition before aging treatment as a control. Appearance stability was graded as "good," "fair," and "poor." The aging treatment described in this invention refers to placing the detergent composition in a sealed PE bottle and storing it for four weeks at 45°C and 70% to 80% relative humidity. The terms aging treatment, aging test, and accelerated aging treatment are not distinguished. Appearance stability was evaluated according to Table 5.
[0154] Table 5 Evaluation Levels of Appearance Stability
[0155] The sample's appearance and stability performance level are as follows: After aging treatment, the sample appears as a homogeneous system with essentially no change in color. After good aging treatment, the sample shows a slight change in color. After average aging treatment, the sample shows obvious oil droplets or layering. surface
[0156] Excellent appearance stability performance
[0157] The term "excellent washing and detergency performance" in this invention refers to the fact that the liquid detergent composition, after aging treatment, has a homogeneous appearance and its color remains essentially unchanged.

[0197] The liquid detergent compositions of Examples 1 to 5 were prepared according to the above preparation method, and the specific composition is shown in Table 6.

[0201] Note: In the mixture of sodium salts of dodecanoic acid, tetradecanoic acid, and oleic acid, the mass ratio of dodecanoic acid, tetradecanoic acid, and oleic acid is 1:1:1.
[0202] Liquid detergent compositions of Examples 6 to 8 and Comparative Examples 1 to 8 were prepared according to the above-described liquid detergent composition preparation method. The similarities and differences between the liquid detergent compositions of Examples 6 to 8 and Comparative Examples 1 to 8 and Example 2 are shown in Table 7.
[0203] Table 7. Similarities and differences between Examples 6 to 8 and Comparative Examples 1 to 8
[0204]
[0205] The moisture absorption properties of the liquid detergent compositions of Examples 1 to 8 and Comparative Examples 1 to 8 were tested as described above, and the results are shown in Table 8.
[0206] Table 8. Results of moisture absorption tests on the liquid detergent compositions of Examples 1 to 8 and Comparative Examples 1 to 8.
[0207]
[0208] As shown in Table 8, the liquid detergent compositions of Examples 1 to 8 all impart excellent moisture absorption properties to the fabrics. Specifically, the saturated water absorption rate of the cotton sample is greater than 200%, and the water permeation time is 0 seconds; the saturated water absorption rate of the polyester sample is greater than 400%, and the water permeation time is less than 5 seconds. That is, the saturated water absorption rate and water permeation time of the cotton and polyester fabrics after washing are rated as "excellent." This indicates that the technical solution of the present invention can effectively change the surface state of fabrics of different materials. The fabric finishing agent can be effectively deposited on the fabric surface during the washing process, thereby causing a significant change in the hydrophilic properties of the fabric surface. Especially for polyester fabrics, the improved moisture absorption performance can quickly wick away sweat, reduce sweat accumulation, keep the skin dry, avoid the sticky feeling of sweat, and also reduce the possibility of clothing odor, thereby improving consumer comfort.
[0209] The liquid detergent composition of Comparative Example 1 does not contain alkylated polyoxypropylene; the liquid detergent composition of Comparative Example 3 contains 0.1% alkylated polyoxypropylene-1, and the amount of fabric finishing agent used is lower than the lower limit required by the technical solution of this invention; the liquid detergent composition of Comparative Example 4 contains 2% alkylated polyoxypropylene-4, and its molecular weight is lower than the lower limit of the molecular weight of alkylated polyoxypropylene in the technical solution of this invention. That is, the liquid detergent compositions of Comparative Examples 1, 3, and 4 do not contain the fabric finishing agent required by the technical solution of this invention, and the saturated water absorption rate of the treated polyester fabric is less than 400%, and the water penetration time is greater than 20 seconds, thus failing to achieve the effect of the technical solution of this invention. Comparative Example 7 contains 2.0% of a commercially available polyester polyether fabric finishing agent and does not contain alkylated polyoxypropylene; the saturated water absorption rate of the treated polyester fabric is 447%, but the water penetration time is 15 seconds, also failing to achieve the effect of the technical solution of this invention.
[0210] The liquid detergent compositions of Comparative Examples 2, 5, 6, and 8 all showed excellent saturated water absorption and water permeability time ratings for both cotton and polyester fabrics, and their performance was comparable to that of the liquid detergent compositions of Examples 1-8.
[0211] Subsequently, the quick-drying performance of the liquid detergent compositions of Examples 1 to 8, Comparative Examples 2, 5, 6, and 8 was tested, and the results are shown in Table 9.
[0212] Table 9. Test results of quick-drying performance of liquid detergent compositions in Examples 1-8 and Comparative Examples 2, 5, 6, and 8.
[0213]
[0214]
[0215] As shown in Table 9, the liquid detergent compositions of Examples 1 to 8 all impart excellent quick-drying properties to fabrics. For example, the water stain diffusion of the polyester fabric sample in Example 1 is shown in Figure 1, the water stain diffusion of the polyester fabric sample in Example 2 is shown in Figure 2, and the water stain diffusion of the polyester fabric sample in Example 4 is shown in Figure 3. Specifically, the water stain diffusion area of the cotton fabric sample is >50%, and the evaporation rate is >29% / h; the water stain diffusion area of the polyester fabric sample is >50%, and the evaporation rate is >60% / h. That is, the water stain diffusion and evaporation rate of the cotton and polyester fabrics after washing are rated as "excellent." This indicates that the technical solution of the present invention can effectively change the surface state of fabrics of different materials. The fabric finishing agent is effectively deposited on the fabric surface during the washing process, thereby causing a significant change in the hydrophilic properties of the fabric surface. Especially for cotton fabrics, the improved quick-drying performance allows clothes to dry quickly, reducing drying time, which is particularly suitable for consumers in rainy areas or humid environments.
[0216] Comparative Example 2 did not use the fabric finishing agent of the present invention, but used polyoxypropylene with a molecular weight of 1200. Its liquid detergent composition had a low evaporation rate on cotton and polyester fabrics, and the evaluation level was average. The water stain diffusion of the polyester fabric sample of Comparative Example 2 is shown in Figure 4. Its liquid detergent composition had a poor evaluation level for water stain diffusion on polyester fabric, and could not achieve excellent quick-drying performance on the surface of the two fabrics.
[0217] The molecular weight of the alkylated polyoxypropylene used in Comparative Example 6 exceeded the range required by this invention. It is possible that the excessively large molecular weight is not conducive to improving quick-drying performance. Its liquid detergent composition has a low evaporation rate on cotton and polyester fabrics, and the evaluation level is general. The water stain diffusion of the polyester fabric sample in Comparative Example 6 is shown in Figure 5. The evaluation level of the water stain diffusion of its liquid detergent composition on polyester fabric is general.
[0218] Comparative Example 5 uses alkylated polypropylene oxide that meets the requirements of this invention, but the amount exceeds the upper limit of this invention. Its liquid detergent composition has excellent quick-drying properties for cotton and polyester according to the evaluation level of water stain diffusion and evaporation rate.
[0219] Comparative Example 8 uses alkylated polypropylene oxide that meets the requirements of this invention, with an amount of 2.0%, which is within the technical scope of this invention. Its liquid detergent composition has excellent quick-drying properties for cotton and polyester fabrics according to the evaluation levels of water stain diffusion and evaporation rate.
[0220] Based on the test results in Tables 8 and 9 above, the evaluation levels of the moisture absorption and quick-drying properties of the liquid detergent compositions of Examples 1 to 8 and Comparative Examples 1 to 8 on different fabrics are summarized in Table 10.
[0221] Table 10 Evaluation grades of the moisture absorption and quick-drying properties of the liquid detergent compositions in Examples 1 to 8 and Comparative Examples 1 to 8
[0222]
[0223]
[0224] As shown in Table 10, the liquid detergent compositions of Examples 1 to 8 can simultaneously achieve excellent moisture absorption and quick-drying properties on both cotton and polyester fabrics. This demonstrates that the technical solution of the present invention can significantly improve the moisture absorption and quick-drying properties of different fabrics, thereby providing consumers with a better wearing experience.
[0225] The liquid detergent compositions of Comparative Examples 1 to 4, and Comparative Examples 6 and 7 could not simultaneously achieve excellent moisture absorption and excellent quick-drying properties on different fabrics. The moisture absorption and quick-drying properties of Comparative Examples 5 and 8 on different fabrics were comparable to those of Examples 1-8.
[0226] Furthermore, the evaluation results of the liquid detergent compositions of Examples 1 to 8, Comparative Example 5, and Comparative Example 8 according to the aforementioned appearance stability evaluation method are shown in Table 11.
[0227] Table 11. Results of appearance stability tests on liquid detergent compositions of Examples 1 to 8, Comparative Example 5, and Comparative Example 8.
[0228]
[0229]
[0230] As shown in Table 11, the liquid detergent compositions prepared in Examples 1 to 8 were homogeneous after aging, with their colors remaining largely unchanged, and their evaluation level was good. The appearance of the liquid detergent composition sample from Example 2 after aging is shown in Figure 6.
[0231] The appearance of the liquid detergent composition sample prepared in Comparative Example 5 after aging is shown in Figures 7 and 8. Large oil droplets appeared, and the evaluation grade was poor. Comparative Example 5 contained 6% alkylated polyoxypropylene-1, which exceeded the upper limit of the dosage in the technical solution of this invention. This may be the reason for the appearance change caused by the precipitation of alkylated polyoxypropylene.
[0232] The appearance of the liquid detergent composition sample prepared in Comparative Example 8 after aging is shown in Figure 9. It is a homogeneous system with basically unchanged color, and the evaluation level is good.
[0233] Furthermore, the detergency performance of the liquid detergent compositions of Examples 1 to 8 and Comparative Example 8 was tested, and the results are shown in Table 12.
[0234] Table 12 Results of detergency test of liquid detergent compositions in Examples 1 to 8 and Comparative Example 8
[0235] Technical Solution | Sebum P1 Value | Protein P2 Value | Carbon Black P3 Value | Example 1 | 1.10 | 2.58 | 1.43 | Example 2 | 1.12 | 2.58 | 1.47 | Example 3 | 1.13 | 2.57 | 1.48 | Example 4 | 1.11 | 2.58 | 1.48 | Example 5 | 1.13 | 2.58 | 1.48 | Example 6 | 1.10 | 2.59 | 1.47 | Example 7 | 1.12 | 2.57 | 1.40 | Example 8 | 1.13 | 2.58 | 1.38 | Comparative Example 8 | 1.02 | 2.53 | 1.27 surface
[0236] As shown in Table 12, the liquid detergent compositions of Examples 1 to 8 all had a detergency ratio P of 1.10 or greater for the three types of soiled cloths containing sebum, protein, and carbon black, and were rated as "having excellent washing and detergency performance".
[0237] The surfactant content of Comparative Example 8 is 13%, which is lower than the range of ≥15% for the sum of anionic surfactants and nonionic surfactants in the technical solution of this invention. Its sebum removal ratio P is 1.02, which is less than 1.10, and it does not have excellent washing and cleaning performance.
[0238] In summary, the liquid detergent compositions of Examples 1 to 8 of the present invention can simultaneously impart excellent moisture absorption and quick-drying properties to cotton and polyester fabrics, and also possess excellent washing and stain removal efficiency and good appearance stability.
[0239] The above description is merely an example to further illustrate the technical content of the present invention, so as to facilitate the reader's understanding. However, it does not mean that the implementation of the present invention is limited to this. Any technical extension or re-creation made in accordance with the present invention is protected by the present invention.
