Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to a liquid detergent composition for hand washing dishes. [Background technology]
[0002] Liquid dishwashing detergent compositions used for handwashing are required to have various functions in addition to effectively removing oily stains, such as good lathering. For example, Patent Document 1 proposes a liquid dishwashing detergent composition comprising positively charged polyethyleneimine, one or more anionic surfactants, an amine oxide, a surfactant containing betaine or sultaine, and less than 0.5% by mass of cocamide DEA. According to the invention of Patent Document 1, the stabilization of bubbles is achieved. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2019-123886 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]
[0004] However, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the technology related to the "feeling of retention" on the skin surface using polyethyleneimine, as it has not been sufficiently investigated. In addition, compositions using polyethyleneimine have the drawbacks of poor stability during low-temperature storage and thickening. In addition, liquid detergent compositions for hand washing dishes are required to be gentle on the hands. Factors that contribute to the feeling of gentleness on the hands include a "feeling of retention" where some components remain on the surface of the hands, giving a protected feeling, and the "lack of dryness" of the hands after washing dishes. It is desirable that liquid detergent compositions for hand washing dishes provide these effects. However, the invention in Patent Document 1 does not consider gentleness on the hands. Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a liquid dishwashing detergent composition that has excellent cleaning properties, excellent low-temperature stability, appropriate viscosity, and is gentle on the hands. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] The present invention has the following aspects. <1> (A) Ingredients: Non-soap-based anionic surfactant, (B) Components: One or more surfactants selected from semipolar surfactants and amphoteric surfactants, (C) Components: Polyethyleneimine (excluding those containing oxyalkylene groups) and (D) Component: At least one polar group-containing compound selected from the group consisting of polar group-containing aromatic compounds having a hydroxyl group or a sulfo group or a salt thereof, and glycol compounds, A liquid dishwashing detergent composition comprising, The content of component (A) is 1 to 20% by mass relative to the total mass of the liquid dishwashing detergent composition.

If the content of component (D) is below the upper limit, it enhances the feeling of staying on the skin and prevents the viscosity from becoming too low.
[0070] <(E) component> The liquid cleansing composition may contain component (E). Component (E) is a nonionic surfactant. By containing component (E), the liquid cleansing composition can further enhance the feeling of staying on the skin.
[0071] Component (E) is not particularly limited as long as it can be conventionally incorporated into liquid detergent compositions, but examples include polyoxyalkylene-added nonionic surfactants and alkyl polyglycosides. Among these, polyoxyalkylene-added nonionic surfactants are preferred as component (E), and polyoxyalkylene alkyl ethers are more preferred.
[0072] As component (E), a polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether having a branched alkyl group is preferred because it is more easily incorporated into a complex of component (A) and component (C), and a Garbet alcohol-type nonionic surfactant represented by the following formula (e1) (component (e1)) is more preferred.
[0073] R15 -CH(R 16 )-CH2-O-(R 17 O) q -H ···(e1) In formula (e1), R 15 and R 16 Each of these is an independently chain-like monovalent hydrocarbon group, and R 15 and R 16 The total number of carbon atoms is 4 to 16, R 17 is a divalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and q is R 17 This is a number between 1 and 20 that represents the average number of repetitions of O.
[0074] (e1) Component is hydrophobic (R 15 -CH(R 16 The structure of (e1)-CH2- is bulky. This reduces the total amount of surfactant lined up at the dirt interface when component (e1) is adsorbed onto hydrophobic substances such as oil stains, while increasing the ability to reduce interfacial tension, thus enhancing the cleaning power against oil stains.
[0075] (e1) Examples of component (e1) include 2-propylheptyl alcohol ethoxylate. As a commercially available product of component (e1), BASF's product name "Lutensol XP-100" is preferred. The above-mentioned component (E) may be a single type or a combination of two or more types.
[0076] If the liquid cleansing composition contains component (E), the content of component (E) is preferably 1 to 15% by mass, and more preferably 2 to 12% by mass, relative to the total mass of the liquid cleansing composition. If the content of component (E) is above the lower limit, it is more easily incorporated into the complex of component (A) and component (C), thereby further enhancing the feeling of retention on the skin. If the content of component (E) is below the upper limit, it is easier to maintain the dispersed state of the complex, thereby further enhancing the feeling of retention on the skin.
[0077] <(F) component> The liquid detergent composition may contain component (F). Component (F) is one or more selected from lactic acid and its salts. By containing component (F), the liquid detergent composition can provide a non-drying effect, thereby reducing the feeling of dryness.
[0078] (F) Examples of component (F) include lactic acid and salts thereof. Examples of salts include sodium salts. Sodium lactate is more preferred as component (F). The above-mentioned (F) component may be a single element or a combination of two or more elements.
[0079] If the liquid detergent composition contains component (F), the content of component (F) is preferably 0.5 to 10% by mass, more preferably 1 to 8% by mass, and even more preferably 2 to 7.5% by mass, based on the total mass of the liquid detergent composition. If the content of component (F) is above the lower limit, the feeling of dryness can be further reduced. If the content of component (F) is below the upper limit, the cleaning power against oil stains can be further enhanced.
[0080] <Other ingredients> The liquid detergent composition may contain other components (optional components) besides components (A) to (F). Optional ingredients include water, surfactants other than components (A), (B), and (E) (optional surfactants), hydrotropes, preservatives, inorganic builders, pH adjusters, chelating agents, isothiazolinone and its derivatives, fragrances, dyes, thickeners, etc.
[0081] The water content is preferably 40 to 85% by mass, and more preferably 60 to 80% by mass, relative to the total mass of the liquid detergent composition. If the water content is above the lower limit, gelation is suppressed. If the water content is below the upper limit, the viscosity does not become too low, resulting in excellent usability.
[0082] Examples of optional surfactants include cationic surfactants and soaps (fatty acid salts with 8 to 22 carbon atoms). The total mass of the surfactants containing components (A), (B), and (E) is preferably 10 to 40% by mass, and more preferably 15 to 35% by mass, relative to the total mass of the liquid detergent composition.
[0083] Examples of hydrotropes include monohydric alcohols with 1 to 3 carbon atoms and p-toluenesulfonic acid. When the liquid detergent composition contains a hydrotrope agent, the hydrotrope agent content is preferably 0.5 to 6% by mass, and more preferably 1 to 4% by mass, relative to the total mass of the liquid detergent composition.
[0084] Examples of isothiazolinones and their derivatives include methylisothiazolinone (MIT), chloromethylisothiazolinone (CMIT), 1,2-benzoisothiazolu-3-one (BIT), and 4-formylphenylboronic acid (4FPBA). Isothiazolinone and its derivatives may be used individually or in combination of two or more types. When the liquid detergent composition contains isothiazolinone and its derivatives, the content of isothiazolinone and its derivatives is preferably 0.002 to 0.02% by mass, more preferably 0.005 to 0.018% by mass, and even more preferably 0.009 to 0.015% by mass, based on the total mass of the liquid detergent composition.
[0085] Examples of inorganic builders include metal oxides. Examples of metal oxides include zinc oxide and magnesium oxide. If the liquid detergent composition contains an inorganic builder, the inorganic builder content is preferably 0.01 to 5.0% by mass relative to the total mass of the liquid detergent composition.
[0086] Examples of pH adjusters include inorganic alkaline agents, organic alkaline agents, and inorganic acids. Examples of inorganic alkaline agents include sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, and potassium carbonate. Examples of organic alkali agents include amine compounds such as monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, N-methylpropanol, 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol, N-(β-aminoethyl)ethanolamine, diethylenetriamine, morpholine, and N-ethylmorpholine. Examples of inorganic acids include sulfamic acid, hydrochloric acid, and sulfuric acid. Examples of organic acids include acetic acid.
[0087] <Physical properties> The pH of the liquid detergent composition of the present invention at 25°C is preferably 6 to 8. If the pH of the liquid detergent composition at 25°C is within the above range, sliminess can be further suppressed. The pH (25°C) of the liquid detergent composition is the value measured according to the method specified in JIS Z 8802:2011 "Method for Measuring pH".
[0088] The viscosity of the liquid detergent composition of the present invention at 25°C is preferably 10 to 250 mPa·s, and more preferably 50 to 200 mPa·s. If the viscosity is above the lower limit, dripping from the container spout can be effectively suppressed. If the viscosity is below the upper limit, the liquid detergent composition can be dispensed more easily from the container.
[0089] The viscosity of the liquid detergent composition can be adjusted by controlling the water content, adding thickeners, etc. The viscosity of the liquid detergent composition is measured at 25°C using a B-type viscometer, with rotor number No. 1 and rotor speed of 60 rpm, 60 seconds after the start of rotor rotation.
[0090] (Manufacturing method) The liquid detergent composition of the present invention is manufactured by conventionally known manufacturing methods. One method for producing a liquid detergent composition is to add component (A), component (B), component (C), component (D), and other components to a portion of water, mix them, adjust the pH, and then add the remainder of the water.
[0091] <How to use> One method of using the liquid detergent composition is to apply the liquid detergent composition to a cleaning tool, lather the liquid detergent composition on the cleaning tool, and then scrub the object to be cleaned with the lathered cleaning tool. Alternatively, one method is to dissolve the liquid detergent composition in water to make a cleaning solution, and then immerse the object to be cleaned in the cleaning solution while scrubbing it with a cleaning tool. In either method, the object to be cleaned is rinsed with water after scrubbing, and then the water is drained from the object.
[0092] Examples of cleaning tools include single-layer sponges, scrubbing sponges, and mesh sponges.
[0093] Examples of items to be washed include ceramics and metal utensils. Examples of ceramics include tableware such as plates, bowls, and donburi bowls. Examples of metal utensils include tableware such as forks and spoons, and stainless steel sinks.
[0094] <Effects and Effects> As described above, although the mechanism is not clear, it is believed that when the liquid detergent composition of the present invention is applied to a cleaning tool such as a sponge and water is added to create a lather, a complex of anionic component (A) and cationic component (C) remains on the skin, resulting in a feeling of retention. In particular, component (C) has more reaction sites with anions (primary to tertiary amino groups) than known cationic polymers. This makes it easier to form a complex with component (A), which is thought to result in a greater feeling of retention. In particular, the complex is more easily formed when diluted with water, which is thought to enhance the feeling of retention during use. It is believed that the complex of component (A) and component (C) remains on the skin of the hands, thereby suppressing irritation to the sebum layer caused by anionic surfactants and also suppressing moisture evaporation from the skin of the hands. Component (B) is thought to contribute to the feeling of retention on the skin by being incorporated into the complex of components (A) and (C). Furthermore, it is thought that components (A) and (B) can be more easily arranged closely together in relation to oily dirt through electrostatic interaction, thereby enhancing the cleaning power. Component (D) has a good balance of hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts, so even if component (C) becomes more difficult to dissolve or disperse by forming a complex with component (A), it is thought to contribute to low-temperature stability and appropriate viscosity by making it easier to dissolve or disperse in the formulation. In this invention, it is believed that a feeling of retention can be obtained by using components (A) and (C) in combination through the mechanism of action described above. [Examples]

Note that the ingredient amounts in the table are calculated on a net basis. Also, a "-" in the ingredient amount in the table indicates that the ingredient is not included. For each example of a liquid detergent, we evaluated its retention, low-temperature stability, viscosity, cleaning power, and dryness, and the results are shown in the table.

Comparative Example 2, which contained 25% by mass of component (A), received a "×" rating for low-temperature stability, viscosity, and non-drying properties. Comparative Example 3, which contained 0.8% by mass of component (A), had a cleaning power of "×". Comparative Example 4, which contained 0.4% by mass of component (D), showed "X" for both low-temperature stability and viscosity. Comparative Example 5, which contained 10% by mass of component (D), had a viscosity of "×". Comparative Example 6, which did not contain ingredient (A), showed a "×" rating for both lingering sensation and cleaning power. Comparative Example 7, which did not contain component (B), had a cleaning power of "×". Comparative Example 8, which did not contain component (C), showed a "×" (indicating a feeling of lingering discomfort). Comparative Example 9, which did not contain component (D), showed "X" for both low-temperature stability and viscosity.
