[0011] Sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (LAS) is widely used in the field of detergents for textile products. While it might seem that combining a cationic surfactant with LAS would achieve both bactericidal and cleaning effects, in reality, the bactericidal effect is reduced. This is thought to be because the combined use of cationic surfactants and LAS leads to the formation of complexes, resulting in precipitation and crystallization.
[0012] Accordingly, the present invention relates to providing a disinfectant that exhibits a suitable bactericidal effect despite containing both cationic and anionic surfactants. Furthermore, the present invention relates to providing a detergent composition that exhibits a bactericidal effect while maintaining cleaning power, further containing a nonionic surfactant in addition to cationic and anionic surfactants.
[0013] Historically, since textile products are eventually washed again after being worn or used, there has been little concern about whether such textile products maintain their antibacterial properties. However, with the diversification of lifestyles in recent years, it has become common to reuse textile products repeatedly, or to wait until a certain amount of worn or used textile products have accumulated before washing them.
[0014] Accordingly, the present invention relates to a method for maintaining the antibacterial effect of textile products after they have been worn or put into use. Preferably, the method for maintaining the antibacterial effect of textile products after they have been worn or put into use comprises the step of bringing a treatment solution prepared using a textile product cleaning agent composition of a specific composition into contact with the textile product.
[0015] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a disinfectant that exhibits a suitable bactericidal effect despite containing both cationic and anionic surfactants. Furthermore, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a detergent composition that exhibits a bactericidal effect while maintaining cleaning power, by further containing a nonionic surfactant in addition to the cationic and anionic surfactants.
[0016] Furthermore, the present invention provides a method for maintaining the antibacterial effect of textile products after they have been worn or used for the first time.
[0017] As a result of the inventors' investigation, they selected a quaternary ammonium salt having a specific alkyl group from among various cationic surfactants, specifically a dialkyl quaternary ammonium salt having two C8 alkyl groups, and found that by combining this with an anionic surfactant having a specific structure, the bactericidal effect of the cationic surfactant was not diminished, thus completing the present invention. The mechanism by which this effect is exerted is not necessarily limited, but is thought to be as follows. It is known that when cationic surfactants and anionic surfactants coexist in water, they form a complex. If the crystallinity of the complex becomes too high, even if the complex adheres to the surface of bacteria, the cationic surfactant, which is the bactericidal component, may detach from the complex on the bacteria and have difficulty penetrating into the inside of the bacteria. It is presumed that the combination of a cationic surfactant having a specific structure and an anionic surfactant having a specific structure in the present invention does not result in a complex formation in water, but the crystallinity of the complex does not become high, and when the complex adheres to the surface of bacteria, the cationic surfactant detaches from the complex and easily penetrates into the inside of the bacteria, thereby exhibiting excellent bactericidal activity against bacteria.
[0018] Furthermore, we discovered that treating textile products after they have been worn or used with a treatment solution prepared using a composition containing such specific surfactants can unexpectedly prolong the antibacterial effect of the textile products after they have been worn or used, thus completing the present invention.

Polyoxyalkylene groups other than the propylene oxy group include the ethylene oxy group and the butylene oxy group. When the (AO)n group contains both an ethylene oxy group and a propylene oxy group, the ethylene oxy group and the propylene oxy group may be linked in a block or random bond configuration. In the present invention, the (AO)n group being a polyoxyalkylene group containing a propylene oxy group means that R is a precursor of the anionic surfactant of general formula (2). 5 This can mean that the compound is obtained by an addition reaction in which an alkylene oxide with 2 to 4 carbon atoms is added to an OH group, and propylene oxide is always used in this addition reaction.

The internal olefin refers to an olefin in which the double bond is located internally from the 2nd position. Internal olefins can be obtained, for example, by isomerizing 1-olefins obtained by dehydrating 1-alcohols. Sulfonation of internal olefins quantitatively generates β-sartone, and a portion of the β-sartone is converted to γ-sartone and olefin sulfonic acid. These are further converted to hydroxyalkane sulfonates and olefin sulfonates in the neutralization and hydrolysis steps (e.g., J. Am. Oil Chem. Soc. 69, 39 (1992)).

[0178] [(c) component] (c-1): In the above general formula (c1-1), R 8 (A) is a lauryl group, m is 0, (AO) is an ethyleneoxy group, n is 10, R9 Compounds of H (c-2): In the above general formula (c1-1), R 8 R is a mixed alkyl group (lauryl group / myristyl group = 7 / 3 (mass ratio)), m is 0, (AO)n is a group obtained by adding 4 moles of propylene oxy to an alcohol with a mixed alkyl group as the hydrocarbon group, and then adding 17 moles of ethylene oxy group (n = 21), R 9 Compounds of H (c-3): In the general formula (c1-1) above, R 8 (A) is a lauryl group, m is 0, (AO) is an ethyleneoxy group, n is 7, R 9 Compounds of H
[0179] [(d) component] (d-1): In the above general formula (2), R 5 (AO)n is a compound obtained by adding a propylene oxide group to dodecyl alcohol at a ratio of 0.6 moles per mole, then esterifying with sulfuric acid, and neutralizing with sodium hydroxide (n=0.6). + Compound (d-2) in which sodium ions are present: Potassium C16 internal olefin sulfonate obtained by the following manufacturing method
[0180] ・Production of C16 internal olefin a1 Internal olefin a1, which will be the raw material for component (d-2), was produced according to the following method. The internal olefin with C16 was produced in accordance with production example C of Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2014-76988. The double bond distribution of the internal olefin is as follows. In internal olefin a1, the mass percentage of internal olefins with double bonds at the following positions was 1st / 2nd / 3rd / 4th / 5th / 6th / 7th / 8th = 2.3% / 23.6% / 18.9% / 17.5% / 13.7% / 11.2% / 6.4% / 6.4% (total 100 mass%).
[0181] The double bond distribution of the internal olefin a1 was measured by gas chromatography (hereinafter abbreviated as GC). Specifically, the internal olefin was reacted with dimethyl disulfide to form a dithiolated derivative, and then each component was separated by GC. As a result, the proportion of the double bond distribution of the internal olefin was determined from the peak area of each component, and this proportion was taken as the mass proportion. In olefins with 16 carbon atoms, internal olefins with a double bond at position 7 and internal olefins with a double bond at position 8 are structurally indistinguishable, but they become distinguishable when sulfonated. For convenience, the amount of internal olefin with a double bond at position 7 was divided by 2 and shown in each column. The apparatus and analytical conditions used for the measurement are as follows. GC system "HP6890" (manufactured by Hewlett Packard), column "Ultra-Alloy-1HT capillary column" (30 m x 250 μm x 0.15 μm, manufactured by Frontier Labs Co., Ltd.), detector (flame ion detector (FID)), injection temperature 300°C, detector temperature 350°C, He flow rate 4.6 mL / min
[0182] - (d-2) Production The internal olefin a1 described above was subjected to a sulfonation reaction using a thin-film sulfonation reactor with an external jacket, by passing sulfur trioxide gas and cooling water at 20°C through the external jacket of the reactor. 3 The molar ratio of internal olefins was set to 1.09. The obtained sulfonate was added to an alkaline aqueous solution prepared with 1.5 molar times the theoretical acid value of potassium hydroxide, and neutralized at 30°C for 1 hour with stirring. The neutralized product was hydrolyzed by heating at 160°C for 1 hour in an autoclave to obtain a crude product of potassium internal olefin sulfonate with 16 carbon atoms. 300 g of the crude product was transferred to a separatory funnel, 300 mL of ethanol was added, and then 300 mL of petroleum ether was added in batches to extract and remove oil-soluble impurities. At this time, inorganic compounds (main component being potassium sulfate) precipitated at the oil-water interface due to the addition of ethanol were also separated and removed from the aqueous phase by the oil-water separation operation. This extraction and removal operation was performed three times. By evaporating the aqueous phase to dryness, potassium internal olefin sulfonate was obtained.

[0189]
[0190]
[0191]
[0192] Tables 1 and 2 revealed the following: A comparison of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1 showed that the bactericidal activity of the compositions using the anionic surfactant corresponding to component (d) (Examples 1-3) was higher than that of the composition using LAS, an anionic surfactant not corresponding to component (d) (Comparative Example 1). This indicates that the compositions in Examples 1-3 possess sufficient bactericidal activity as disinfectants. Furthermore, a comparison of Examples 4-14 and Comparative Examples 2-3 confirmed similar results for compositions containing the nonionic surfactant of component (c). Specifically, the compositions using LAS, an anionic surfactant not corresponding to component (d) (Comparative Examples 2-3), exhibited inferior bactericidal activity compared to the compositions containing component (d) (Examples 4-14). The compositions in Examples 4-14, despite containing nonionic surfactants, possessed sufficient bactericidal activity as disinfectants.

Then component (d) or component (d') was added, then component (b) heated to 40°C was added and stirred for a further 15 minutes. Then water was added to make a final mass of 300 g and stirred for a further 5 minutes.
[0194] Test Example 2 <Evaluation of Cleaning Action> The cleaning action of each of the above cleaning agent compositions was evaluated as follows: (1) Preparation of textile products for cleaning evaluation 1.7 kg of cotton cloth (Cotton 2003 (manufactured by Tanigashira Shoten)) was washed twice cumulatively on the standard course of a fully automatic washing machine (National NA-F702P) (4.7 g of Emulgen (registered trademark) 108 (manufactured by Kao Corporation) during washing, 47 L of water, wash for 9 minutes, rinse twice, spin dry for 3 minutes), and then washed three times cumulatively with water only (47 L of water, wash for 9 minutes, rinse twice, spin dry for 3 minutes), and dried for 24 hours in an environment of 23°C and 45% RH. After that, it was cut to a size of 6 cm x 6 cm.
[0195] (2) Preparation of model sebum-stained fabric A model sebum-stained fabric was prepared by applying a model sebum-stained solution with the following composition to the textile product obtained in (1) Preparation of textile product for washing evaluation above. The model sebum-stained solution was applied to the fabric by printing the artificial stain onto the fabric using a gravure roll coater. The process of applying the model sebum-stained solution to the fabric to produce the model sebum-stained solution was performed using a gravure roll with a cell capacity of 58 cm 3 / m 2 The coating was applied at a speed of 1.0 m / min, with a drying temperature of 100°C and a drying time of 1 min. Afterward, the material was cut into 6 cm x 6 cm pieces.

[0197] (3) Washing test: Washing was performed using a turgotometer (manufactured by Ueshima Seisakusho). The water used for washing was water obtained by adding calcium chloride and magnesium chloride in a mass ratio of 8:2 to ion-exchanged water and adjusting the hardness to 4°dH. The washing solution was obtained by mixing the textile product washing agent composition with the water used for washing so that the mass ratio of textile product washing agent composition / water used for washing, as described in Table 3, was 30 g / 30 L. 0.6 L of the washing solution and 10 of the above-mentioned model sebum-stained artificial cloths were placed in a 1-liter stainless steel beaker for the washing test. The bath ratio was adjusted to 20 using the above-mentioned textile product for purification evaluation. The temperature of the washing solution was 20°C. The evaluation fibers were washed with a turgotometer at 85 rpm for 10 minutes. After washing, the fibers were dehydrated and then placed in 0.6 L of washing water. Rinsing was performed using a turbometer at 85 rpm for 3 minutes. After rinsing, the fibers were dehydrated again and then dried for 24 hours at 23°C and 45% RH.
[0198] (4) Method for evaluating washability The cloth obtained in the washing test described in (3) above was visually inspected to see how well the dirt was removed.

The composition of each detergent composition and the evaluation results are shown together in Table 3 (Table 3A and Table 3B).
[0200]
[0201]
[0202] The following was found from Table 3: The compositions of Examples 15 to 30 were found to be detergent compositions with excellent cleaning and bactericidal properties. The results of evaluating the cleaning properties of Examples 15 to 30 showed that all compositions reduced the degree of soiling of the test cloth compared to the degree of soiling before washing, indicating that they are detergent compositions with excellent cleaning properties. The results of evaluating the cleaning properties of Examples 15 to 18, Examples 19 to 22, and Examples 23 to 26 showed that the cleaning properties improved as the content of component (c) increased.
[0203] Examples of formulations: Table 4 (Tables 4A and 4B) shows examples of formulations of disinfectant or cleaning agent compositions that can obtain the effects of the present invention.
[0204]
[0205]
[0206] Examples 1 to 4 are formulations of the disinfectant of the present invention, and Examples 5 to 14 are formulations of the cleaning agent composition of the present invention. The disinfectant formulations are prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, etc. The cleaning agent composition is prepared in the same manner as in Example 15, etc., except that optional components are added along with the amount of water initially added.
[0207] [Method for sustaining antibacterial effect] <Ingredients> In the example, a detergent composition and treatment solution for textile products were prepared using the following ingredients. Note that the amounts of each ingredient in the table are the amounts of the active ingredients, not the amounts of the product. [(b) Ingredients] (b-1'): Dioctyldimethylammonium chloride (85% by mass aqueous dispersion) (b-2'): Dioctylethylmethylammonium ethyl sulfate (85% by mass ethanol solution) (b-3'): Dioctyldimethylammonium methyl sulfate (85% by mass ethanol solution)
[0208] [(c) component] (c-1'): In the above general formula (c1-1), R 5 The mixed alkyl group is (lauryl group / myristyl group = 7 / 3 (mass ratio)), m is 0, (AO) n However, to an alcohol with a mixed alkyl group as the hydrocarbon group, 4 moles of propyleneoxy are added, followed by 17 moles of ethyleneoxy groups (n=21), R 6 A compound of H. (c-2'): In the above general formula (c1-1), R 5 (A) is a lauryl group, m is 0, (AO) is an ethyleneoxy group, n is 10, R 6 A compound of H. (c-3'): In the general formula (c1-1) above, R 5 (A) is a lauryl group, m is 0, (AO) is an ethylene oxy group, n is 6.5, R 6 It is a compound of H.
[0209] [(d) component] (d-2'): In the above general formula (2), R 5 (AO)n is a compound obtained by adding a propylene oxide group to dodecyl alcohol at a ratio of 0.6 moles per mole, then esterifying with sulfuric acid, and neutralizing with sodium hydroxide (n=0.6). +A compound in which the ion is a sodium ion. (d-4'): Potassium internal olefin sulfonate with 16 carbon atoms (As the compound of d-4', the "potassium internal olefin sulfonate with 16 carbon atoms" of (d-2) in the above [bactericide and cleaning agent composition] was used). (d-5'): Production of potassium internal olefin sulfonate with 18 carbon atoms and internal olefin a2 with 18 carbon atoms obtained by the following production method Internal olefin a2 with 18 carbon atoms, which will be the raw material for the above (d-5') component, was produced according to the following method. For the internal olefin with 18 carbon atoms, the internal olefin was produced in accordance with production example D of Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2014-76988. The double bond distribution of the internal olefin is as follows. In internal olefin a2, the mass percentage of internal olefins with double bonds at the following positions was 1st / 2nd / 3rd / 4th / 5th / 6th / 7th / 8th / 9th = 0.5% / 25.0% / 22.8% / 19.1% / 14.0% / 7.4% / 5.4% / 2.5% / 2.5% (total 100 mass%).
[0210] The double bond distribution of the internal olefin a2 was measured by gas chromatography (hereinafter abbreviated as GC). Specifically, the internal olefin was reacted with dimethyl disulfide to form a dithiolated derivative, and then each component was separated by GC. As a result, the proportion of the double bond distribution of the internal olefin was determined from the peak area of each component, and this proportion was taken as the mass proportion. In olefins with 18 carbon atoms, internal olefins with a double bond at position 8 and internal olefins with a double bond at position 9 are structurally indistinguishable, but they become distinguishable after sulfonation. For convenience, the amount of internal olefin with a double bond at position 8 was divided by 2 and shown in each column. The apparatus and analytical conditions used for the measurement are as follows. GC system "HP6890" (manufactured by Hewlett Packard), column "Ultra-Alloy-1HT capillary column" (30 m x 250 μm x 0.15 μm, manufactured by Frontier Labs Co., Ltd.), detector (flame ion detector (FID)), injection temperature 300°C, detector temperature 350°C, He flow rate 4.6 mL / min
[0211] - Production of (d-5') The internal olefin a2 described above was subjected to a sulfonation reaction using a thin-film sulfonation reactor with an external jacket, by passing sulfur trioxide gas and cooling water at 20°C through the external jacket of the reactor. 3 The molar ratio of internal olefins was set to 1.09. The obtained sulfonate was added to an alkaline aqueous solution prepared with 1.5 molar times the theoretical acid value of potassium hydroxide, and neutralized at 30°C for 1 hour with stirring. The neutralized product was hydrolyzed by heating at 160°C for 1 hour in an autoclave to obtain a crude product of potassium internal olefin sulfonate with 18 carbon atoms. 300 g of the crude product was transferred to a separatory funnel, 300 mL of ethanol was added, and then 300 mL of petroleum ether was added in batches to extract and remove oil-soluble impurities. At this time, inorganic compounds (main component being potassium sulfate) precipitated at the oil-water interface due to the addition of ethanol were also separated and removed from the aqueous phase by the oil-water separation operation. This extraction and removal operation was performed three times. By evaporating the aqueous phase to dryness, potassium internal olefin sulfonate was obtained.
[0212] Examples 31-38 <Preparation of Detergent Compositions and Treatment Solutions for Textile Products> After preparing detergent compositions for textile products by mixing the above-mentioned components, treatment solutions with the compositions shown in Tables 5 and 6 below were prepared by diluting them with tap water from Wakayama City, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan.
[0213] [Method for Evaluating the Durability of Antibacterial Effects of Textile Products] Test Example 1 (Evaluation against Fatty Acid Stains) <Treatment> A plain woven cotton fabric (Cotton 2003, purchased from Tanigashira Shoten) was used as the textile product for evaluation. A 6 x 6 cm piece of the plain woven cotton fabric was treated with the various treatment solutions listed in Tables 5 and 6 as follows to prepare a test cloth for antibacterial effect. 30 g of the plain woven cotton fabric and 600 mL of the treatment solution were placed in a turgotometer (manufactured by Ueshima Seisakusho), treated at 85 rpm, 20°C for 10 minutes, and then dewatered for 1 minute using a small dehydrator Dry-Cyclone BDS-3.0 SBP (manufactured by Beecam Co., Ltd.).
[0214] <Drying> The dewatered test cloth was placed in 600 mL of tap water and rinsed with the turgotometer at 85 rpm, 20°C, for 3 minutes. It was then dewatered for 1 minute in the small spin dryer and allowed to air dry.
[0215] <Wearing or Use> As a model of a textile product after human wear or use, a test cloth was prepared by attaching fatty acids and bacteria to the air-dried test cloth. A methanol solution of 14-methylhexadecanoic acid (manufactured by Larodan AB) was dropped onto 1 g of test cloth so that the amount of 14-methylhexadecanoic acid was approximately 400 μg, and the cloth was air-dried to obtain the treated cloth.
[0216] Moraxella sp. bacteria isolated from used human textile products were streaked onto plates of nutrient agar (Becton Dickinson) and cultured at 37°C for approximately 24 hours. The cultured samples were scraped off with a platinum loop and placed in 10 mL of nutrient agar (Becton Dickinson), and pre-cultured at 37°C and 110 rpm for approximately 20 hours. The bacterial concentration of the pre-cultured medium was estimated by absorbance, and the bacterial concentration was estimated to be approximately 1 × 10⁶. 8 The solution was adjusted to CFU / mL, and 0.2 mL of it was added to 10 mL of nutrient medium and incubated for a further 3 hours at 37°C and 110 rpm. The bacterial concentration of the culture medium was estimated by absorbance, and the bacterial count was 1.0 × 10⁶ using 10-fold diluted nutrient medium. 5 The bacterial solution was adjusted to CFU / mL. 0.2 mL of this bacterial solution was inoculated onto 0.4 g of the treated cloth.
[0217] <Storage> After inoculation, the treated cloth was placed in a petri dish, covered, and left to stand for approximately 20 hours at 37°C for storage.
[0218] <Bacterial Count Measurement> For each treated cloth after the storage process, 20 mL of LP diluent (manufactured by Shioya MS Co., Ltd.) at 25°C was added and mixed for 10 seconds. Then, ultrasound was applied for 10 minutes to extract bacteria. The extract was serially diluted with LP diluent, poured onto SCD agar plate (manufactured by Shioya MS Co., Ltd.), and incubated overnight at 37°C.
[0219] On the other hand, a 6 x 6 cm cotton plain weave cloth was treated and dried without applying fatty acids and bacteria in the same manner as described above. The cloth was then stored in the same manner, and the bacteria were extracted from it in the same manner and incubated overnight at 37°C.
[0220] The number of colonies obtained from each fabric was measured, and the antibacterial activity value (Δlog10) was calculated by subtracting the common logarithm of the number of viable bacteria in each example or comparative example from the common logarithm of the number of viable bacteria in the untreated and undried fabric. In this evaluation, a higher antibacterial activity value indicates a superior antibacterial effect. The results are shown in Table 5.
[0221]
[0222] Table 5 shows that, for fabrics stained with fatty acids, the method of the present invention maintained high antibacterial properties even after 20 hours of storage.
[0223] Test Example 2 (Evaluation of Protein Stains) The evaluation was carried out in the same manner as in Test Example 1 above, except that horse serum (Horse Serum, heat activated, New Zealand origin, manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific Co., Ltd.) was used instead of 14-methylhexadecanoic acid in the <Wearing or Use> section. The results are shown in Table 6.
[0224]
[0225] Table 6 shows that the method of the present invention maintained high antibacterial properties even after 20 hours of storage, even on cloths with protein stains.
