Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a detergent composition containing polyglycerin with an average degree of polymerization of 3 or more and improving the foam quality as an improver.

Background Art

[0002] The performances required for detergents include good foaming, foam persistence, and stability. These are directly related to the feeling of use of detergents, and in body and household detergents, they are one of the essential factors that affect consumer satisfaction. In addition, since the persistence of foam leads to an improvement in detergency, it is also highly regarded not only in body and household detergents but also in industrial detergents.

[0003] Conventionally, detergent compositions with good foaming properties during washing are known. For example, in Patent Document 1, a detergent composition containing a surfactant and glycerin as a polyhydric alcohol is disclosed, and it is also suggested that diglycerin can be blended as a polyhydric alcohol. Further, in Patent Document 2, a detergent composition containing a surfactant and glycerin as a polyhydric hydroxyl group-containing compound is disclosed, and it is also suggested that diglycerin can be blended as a polyhydric hydroxyl group-containing compound.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, the detergent composition in Patent Document 1 describes that by incorporating polyhydric alcohols such as glycerin and diglycerin, the conditioning effect after washing is good and the storage stability of the detergent composition is good. In contrast, the detergent composition in Patent Document 2 does not clearly explain the technical significance of incorporating glycerin and diglycerin, and there were problems with the amount of foam generated and the persistence of the foam when glycerin and diglycerin were incorporated.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a cleaning composition that, when combined with a surfactant, can increase the amount of foam immediately after foaming and improve the persistence of the foam. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] [1] That is, the present invention is a detergent composition characterized by containing polyglycerin having an average degree of polymerization of 3 to 20, a surfactant, and water.

[0008] [2] The cleaning composition according to claim 1, characterized in that when 500 mL of the cleaning composition according to claim 1 is dropped from a height of 450 mm at 25°C into a graduated cylinder containing 50 mL of the cleaning composition according to claim 1, the volume of foam generated is 270 to 350 ml.

[0009] [3] The detergent composition according to [1] or [2] above, characterized in that the blending ratio of the surfactant to the polyglycerin having an average degree of polymerization of 3 to 20 is the surfactant / polyglycerin having an average degree of polymerization of 3 to 20 = 10 / 1 to 1 / 1.

[0010] [4] The detergent composition according to [1] or [2], characterized in that the average degree of polymerization of the polyglycerin is 3 to 10.

[0011] [5] The detergent composition according to [1] or [2], characterized in that the surfactant is an anionic surfactant having 10 to 22 carbon atoms. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] The present invention provides a cleaning composition that, when combined with a surfactant, can increase the amount of foam immediately after foaming and improve the persistence of the foam. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0013] The embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described in more detail below, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and embodiments that have been modified or otherwise altered without impairing the spirit of the present invention also belong to the present invention. The notation "~" indicating the range includes both an upper and lower limit.

[0014] The polyglycerin having an average degree of polymerization of 3 to 20 in the present invention is a compound obtained by dehydrating and condensing an average of 3 to 20 glycerin molecules, or an equivalent compound. By incorporating polyglycerin with an average degree of polymerization of 3 to 20, the amount of foam immediately after foaming can be increased, and the persistence of the foam can be improved. The average degree of polymerization is the repeating unit of the glycerin skeleton; therefore, an average degree of polymerization of 3 indicates triglycerin, an average degree of polymerization of 4 indicates tetraglycerin, an average degree of polymerization of 6 indicates hexaglycerin, and an average degree of polymerization of 10 indicates decaglycerin. Here, the average degree of polymerization is calculated from the hydroxyl value by terminal analysis using the following formulas (1) and (2). In formula (2), the hydroxyl value is a numerical indicator of the number of hydroxyl groups contained in polyglycerin, and refers to the number of milligrams of potassium hydroxide required to neutralize the acetic acid necessary to acetylate the free hydroxyl groups contained in 1 g of polyglycerin. The number of milligrams of potassium hydroxide is calculated in accordance with the "Standard Test Methods for Analysis of Fats and Oils, 2013 Edition," edited by the Japan Oil Chemists' Society. Molecular weight = 74 x average degree of polymerization + 18 (1) Hydroxyl value = 56110 (average degree of polymerization + 2) / molecular weight ... (2) In the present invention, the average degree of polymerization of polyglycerin is preferably 3 to 20, more preferably 3 to 10, and most preferably 3 to 4. If the average degree of polymerization of polyglycerin is within this range, the amount of foam immediately after foaming can be increased, and the persistence of the foam can be improved.

[0015] The polyglycerins with an average degree of polymerization of 3 to 20 used in this invention include, specifically, PGL-S (triglycerin), polyglycerin #310 (tetraglycerin), polyglycerin #500 (hexaglycerin), and polyglycerin #750 (decaglycerin) manufactured by Sakamoto Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., and one or more of these can be used in combination.

[0020] The blending ratio of the surfactant and the polyglycerin with an average degree of polymerization of 3 to 20 is preferably surfactant / polyglycerin with an average degree of polymerization of 3 to 20 = 10 / 1 to 1 / 1, and more preferably 7 / 1 to 3 / 1. With these blending ratios, the amount of foam immediately after foaming can be increased and the foam persistence can be improved.

[0038] Specific examples are shown below, but the present invention is not limited to these examples. In addition, unless otherwise specified, the units of the amounts of each component in the tables in the examples are "weight percent".

[0039] The cleaning compositions of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were prepared by conventional methods, and the amount of foam immediately after foaming was measured using the Rossmiles method. For some of the Examples and Comparative Examples, the volume of foam after a predetermined time was measured as the persistence of the foam, and the retention rate was calculated as the ratio to the volume of foam immediately after foaming. The Rossmiles method was performed in accordance with the method specified in ISP696 of the International Organization for Standardization. Specifically, 50 mL of the cleaning composition was placed in a graduated cylinder (inner diameter approximately 65 mm), and the volume of foam immediately after pouring 500 mL of the same test solution from a height of 450 mm was measured. The results regarding the amount of foam immediately after foaming are shown in Tables 1-2, and the foam retention rate after a predetermined time is shown in Table 3.

[0040] [Table 1]

[0041] [Table 2]

[0042] [Table 3]

[0043] Based on the results above, and by comparing each example with each comparative example, it was found that by incorporating polyglycerin with an average degree of polymerization of 3 to 20, the amount of foam immediately after foaming can be increased and the foam's persistence can be improved compared to when glycerin or diglycerin is incorporated.
