Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention mainly relates to a cleaning composition for use on animals such as pets like dogs and cats, and livestock such as cows and pigs. More specifically, the present invention relates to a liquid cleaning composition containing etofenprox that can be rinsed off with water after use.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, pests adhering to animals that have contact with humans, such as pets or livestock, may transmit diseases that cause serious symptoms in these animals or may cause allergies or harmful effects on humans. In order to control these pests, cleaning compositions for application mainly on the body surfaces of pets and livestock are known.

[0003] As an active ingredient of such cleaning compositions, pyrethroid-based compounds are used, and cleaning compositions combined with other compounds are widely used.

[0004] For example, as shown in Patent Document 1, a cleaning composition containing etofenprox as a pyrethroid-based compound as an active ingredient of the cleaning composition is disclosed.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] However, the cleaning composition containing etofenprox described in Patent Document 1 is a so-called dry shampoo for animals that does not use water. Unlike cleaning compositions that do not contain ethanol and are rinsed off with water or hot water after use, there were issues in such cleaning compositions that are rinsed off with water or hot water after use, specifically regarding whether the foam can be easily rinsed away with water or hot water after use, and whether the etofenprox, which has a melting point of approximately 37°C, would crystallize and precipitate during storage.

[0007] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a cleaning composition containing etofenprox that is rinsed off with water or hot water after use, which can be rinsed off easily with water or hot water after use and does not cause etofenprox precipitation during storage. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] [1] That is, the cleaning composition disclosed herein is an etofenprox-containing cleaning composition characterized by containing 0.05 to 1.0% by weight of etofenprox, a nonionic surfactant comprising at least 0.4 to 10% by weight of fatty acid polyoxyethylene sorbitan, 0.1 to 10% by weight of an amphoteric surfactant, 0.1 to 10% by weight of an anionic surfactant, 0.1 to 5.0% by weight of a cationic surfactant, 0.01 to 0.5% by weight of an acid, and water.

[0009] [2] The cleaning composition containing etofenprox as described in [1] above, characterized in that the fatty acid polyoxyethylene sorbitan is at least one selected from polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate, polyoxyethylene sorbitan tristearate, polyoxyethylene sorbitan trioleate, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate, and polyoxyethylene sorbitan monostearate.

[0010] [3] A cleaning composition containing etofenprox according to either [1] or [2] above, characterized in that the amphoteric surfactant is of the betaine type.

[0011] [4] The cleaning composition contains etofenprox according to either [1] or [2] above, characterized in that the anionic surfactant is of the sulfate ester type.

[0012] [5] A cleaning composition containing etofenprox according to either [1] or [2] above, characterized in that the cationic surfactant is of the quaternary ammonium salt type. [Effects of the Invention]

[0013] According to the present invention, a cleaning composition containing etofenprox, which is used in a manner that involves rinsing with water or hot water after use, allows for thorough rinsing with water or hot water after use, and prevents the precipitation of etofenprox during storage. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0014] The following describes in detail the cleaning composition containing etofenprox of the present invention. The embodiments described below are preferred examples for carrying out the present invention and therefore have various technical limitations. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments unless specifically stated in the following description. Furthermore, when the symbol "~" is used to indicate a range, it includes both an upper and lower limit. Also, notations such as C8, where C and a number are used, indicate the number of carbon atoms present.

[0015] The present invention provides a cleaning composition containing etofenprox, a nonionic surfactant containing at least fatty acid polyoxyethylene sorbitan, an amphoteric surfactant, an anionic surfactant, a cationic surfactant, an acid, and water, each in a predetermined proportion.

[0016] [Etofenprox] Etofenprox is a pyrethroid-like compound, and its chemical name is 2-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-2-methylpropyl=3-phenoxybenzyl=ether, an organic compound with CAS No. 80844-07-1. When used as a cleaning composition, etofenprox can control pests that attach to animals.

[0017] In the cleaning composition of the present invention, the content of etofenprox relative to the total amount of the cleaning composition is preferably 0.05 to 1.0% by weight, more preferably 0.07 to 0.7% by weight, and most preferably 0.1 to 0.5% by weight. When the etofenprox content is within this range, it is possible to control pests that attach to animals when used as a cleaning composition.

[0018] The various surfactants in this invention are components for micellizing organic compounds in water and uniformly dispersing them in a composition. Various surfactants can be used to create oil-in-water emulsions and the like. Examples of surfactants include nonionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, anionic surfactants, and cationic surfactants.

[0019] [Nonionic surfactants] Nonionic surfactants are surfactants that have a hydrophilic portion that does not ionize. Examples include polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers such as polyoxyethylene cetyl ether and polyoxyethylene stearyl ether, polyhydric alcohol fatty acid esters such as glycerin fatty acid esters, sorbitan fatty acid esters, and sucrose fatty acid esters, fatty acid esters of polyoxyethylene, fatty acid esters of polyoxyethylene-added polyhydric alcohols, and fatty acid diethanolamides. In the present invention, at least fatty acid polyoxyethylene sorbitan, which is a fatty acid ester of polyoxyethylene sorbitol, is used. Preferred fatty acid polyoxyethylene sorbitan includes polyoxyethylene(20) sorbitan monooleate, polyoxyethylene(20) sorbitan tristearate, polyoxyethylene(20) sorbitan trioleate, polyoxyethylene(20) sorbitan monolaurate, and polyoxyethylene(20) sorbitan monostearate (the number in parentheses after the word polyoxyethylene indicates the number of moles of polyoxyethylene added. The same applies hereinafter). In fatty acid polyoxyethylene sorbitan, the number of moles of polyoxyethylene added to sorbitol is preferably 6 to 60, and the fatty acid that reacts with the hydroxyl group of sorbitol or polyoxyethylene to form an ester bond is preferably a saturated or unsaturated fatty acid with 8 to 22 carbon atoms. These fatty acid polyoxyethylene sorbitan can be used individually or in combination of two or more types. In addition, nonionic surfactants other than fatty acid polyoxyethylene sorbitan can also be used individually or in combination of two or more types.

[0020] Among fatty acid polyoxyethylene sorbitan, those with an HLB of 5 to 17 calculated by Griffin's formula are more preferable. In fatty acid polyoxyethylene sorbitan, the HLB can be changed by appropriately changing the number of moles of oxyethylene added. When the fatty acid polyoxyethylene sorbitan has an HLB within the above range, the storage stability of the cleaning composition is excellent. Specifically, even after time has passed, it does not become cloudy due to the precipitation of etofenprox, and a uniform cleaning composition can be maintained.

[0021] In the cleaning composition of the present invention, the content of fatty acid polyoxyethylene sorbitan, which is a nonionic surfactant, is preferably 0.4 to 10% by weight, more preferably 0.4 to 7% by weight, and most preferably 0.5 to 5% by weight, relative to the total amount of the cleaning composition. When the content of fatty acid polyoxyethylene sorbitan is within this range, the foam can be easily rinsed off with water or hot water after use, and etofenprox can be prevented from precipitation during storage.

[0022] [Amphoteric surfactants] Amphoteric surfactants have both anionic and cationic sites in the molecule and are surfactants that become cations, anions, and amphoteric of cations and anions depending on the pH of the solution.

[Examples]

[0034] The following describes specific embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0035] <Example 1> At 20°C, in a 200ml Griffin beaker, combine 0.1g of etofenprox and a nonionic surfactant, polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate (manufactured by Nikko Chemicals Co., Ltd., TO-10V). 0.5g of HLB=15 and 2g of coconut oil fatty acid diethanolamide (manufactured by NOF Corporation, Stahome DF-4) were mixed with 10g (3g as solids) of lauric acid amidopropyl betaine (manufactured by Kao Corporation, Anhitol 20AB (30wt% solids aqueous solution)) as an amphoteric surfactant, 20g (5g as solids) of polyoxyethylene (3) lauryl ether sulfate sodium (manufactured by Kao Corporation, Emal 20C (25wt% solids aqueous solution)) as an anionic surfactant, 0.5g of O-[2-hydroxy-3-(trimethylammonio)propyl]hydroxyethylcellulose chloride (manufactured by Toho Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., Catinal LC-200) as a cationic surfactant, 0.15g (0.1g as phosphoric acid) as an acid (85% aqueous solution), and purified water as the remainder to prepare 100g of a cleaning composition. This was then stirred and mixed until homogeneous to obtain a liquid composition. The composition had a pH of 5.9 at 25°C and a viscosity of 2200 mPa·s at 25°C.

[0036] <Examples 2-9> A liquid composition was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the weights of etofenprox, nonionic surfactant, amphoteric surfactant, anionic surfactant, cationic surfactant, acid, and purified water were as listed in Table 1. In Example 2, a liquid composition was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that 0.5 g of polyoxyethylene(20) sorbitan tristearate (manufactured by Nikko Chemicals Co., Ltd., TS-30V HLB=11) was used as the fatty acid polyoxyethylene sorbitan for the nonionic surfactant. The pH and viscosity of these cleaning compositions at 25°C are shown in Table 1.

[0037] <Comparative Examples 1-8> Liquid compositions were obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the weights of etofenprox, nonionic surfactant, amphoteric surfactant, anionic surfactant, cationic surfactant, acid, and purified water were as listed in Table 2. In Comparative Example 1, a liquid composition was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that 0.1 g of polyoxyethylene (40) hydrogenated castor oil (manufactured by Nikko Chemicals Co., Ltd., HCO-40 HLB=12.5) was used as the nonionic surfactant. In Comparative Example 2, a liquid composition was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that 0.1 g of polyoxyethylene (20) hydrogenated castor oil (manufactured by Nikko Chemicals Co., Ltd., HCO-20 HLB=10.5) was used as the nonionic surfactant. The pH and viscosity of these cleaning compositions at 25°C are shown in Table 2.

[0038] The stability and rinseability of each composition obtained in each example and comparative example were confirmed.

[0039] [Stability] The stability of each of the above cleaning compositions was confirmed as follows: 50 ml of each cleaning composition was placed in a 100 ml screw-top tube and stored in a constant temperature bath at 5°C for two weeks. After two weeks, the composition was visually inspected immediately after removal. A rating of ○ was given to those that showed no change in appearance from the colorless and transparent state before the test; a rating of △ was given to those that were slightly cloudy compared to before the test; and a rating of × was given to those that were clearly cloudy compared to before the test. Those rated ○ were judged as good, and those rated △ or × were judged as poor.

[0040] [Rinsing properties] A designated hair bundle was thoroughly wet with water, approximately 3 mL of each of the above-mentioned cleaning compositions was applied to the hair bundle, and after lathering well by hand, the ease of rinsing was evaluated by sensory perception under running water. A rating of ○ was given to those where no foam remained after lathering, a rating of △ was given to those where some foam remained, and a rating of × was given to those where a considerable amount of foam remained. Those rated ○ were judged as good, and those rated △ or × were judged as poor.

[0041] The composition of each cleaning composition described above, along with the results of its effects on stability and rinsability, are shown in Table 1 for the examples and in Table 2 for the comparative examples. For each cleaning composition described above, those that received a ○ rating for both stability and rinsability were judged to be overall good, while all others were judged to be overall poor.

[0042] [Table 1]

[0043] [Table 2]

[0044] As shown in Tables 1 and 2, in each example, etofenprox did not precipitate even when stored at low temperatures, maintaining a colorless and transparent state with excellent stability, and the foam rinsed off easily after lathering the hair strands, resulting in excellent performance. In contrast, in each comparative example, etofenprox precipitated when stored at low temperatures, causing cloudiness and poor stability, and the foam rinsed off easily after lathering the hair strands, resulting in poor performance. From these results, it was found that by including a predetermined proportion of etofenprox, a predetermined proportion of a nonionic surfactant containing fatty acid polyoxyethylene sorbitan, a predetermined proportion of an amphoteric surfactant, a predetermined proportion of anionic surfactant, a predetermined proportion of cationic surfactant, a predetermined proportion of acid, and purified water, the foam rinsed off easily with water or hot water after use, and no etofenprox precipitation occurred during storage.
