Description

L'invention concerne des compositions de net­toyage et plus particulièrement des compositions qui sont utilisées dans les installations sanitaires, par exemple les cuvettes de toilettes.The invention relates to cleaning compositions and more particularly to compositions which are used in sanitary installations, for example toilet bowls.

Un des principaux problèmes posés par de telles compositions est qu'elles doivent éliminer le tartre qui se dépose à la surface de la cuvette. Il est connu d'uti­liser à cet effet des compositions aqueuses qui contien­nent au moins un acide, tel que l'acide chlorhydrique, phosphorique, sulfurique, acétique ou fumarique.One of the main problems posed by such compositions is that they must remove the scale which deposits on the surface of the bowl. It is known to use for this purpose aqueous compositions which contain at least one acid, such as hydrochloric, phosphoric, sulfuric, acetic or fumaric acid.

Mais, les compositions contenant de l'acide chlorhydrique sont corrosives et dangereuses et on préfère utiliser des acides faibles.However, the compositions containing hydrochloric acid are corrosive and dangerous and it is preferred to use weak acids.

IL est connu aussi d'améliorer l'adhérence des compositions de nettoyage sur les parois inclinées des cu­vettes, en ajoutant un épaississant. Ainsi, on ajoute couramment des agents de surface anioniques et/ou non ioniques ou d'autres épaississants comme les amines poly­éthoxylées ou les dérivés de cellulose, tels que la carbo­xyméthylcellulose.It is also known to improve the adhesion of the cleaning compositions to the inclined walls of the bowls, by adding a thickener. Thus, anionic and / or nonionic surfactants or other thickeners such as polyethoxylated amines or cellulose derivatives, such as carboxymethylcellulose, are commonly added.

En général, ces épaississants nécessitent des additifs pour leur mise en oeuvre, par exemple des alcools pour dissoudre la carboxyméthylcellulose dans l'eau.In general, these thickeners require additives for their implementation, for example alcohols to dissolve the carboxymethylcellulose in water.

Pour des compositions acides épaissies utilisées dans les installations sanitaires, l'intervalle de pH doit être choisi de façon que l'introduction et la stabilité des parfums dans la composition ne soient pas difficiles. En effet, des pH inférieurs à 1,5 entraînent une décompo­sition des constituants de la plupart des parfums.For thickened acidic compositions used in sanitary installations, the pH range must be chosen so that the introduction and the stability of the perfumes in the composition are not difficult. Indeed, pH below 1.5 leads to a breakdown of the constituents of most perfumes.

La viscosité de telles compositions doit aussi être choisie de façon à obtenir un pouvoir détartrant satisfaisant et une rémanence des parfums recherchée par les utilisateurs. Or, une viscosité insuffisante ne permet pas à la composition de nettoyage d'adhérer suffisamment sur les parois, ce qui diminue le temps de contact de la composition avec le tartre. Au contraire, une viscosité trop élevée empêche une diffusion du parfum dans l'air environnant les toilettes ou une diffusion dans l'eau stagnant au fond des toilettes.The viscosity of such compositions must also be chosen so as to obtain a satisfactory descaling power and a persistence of the perfumes desired by the users. However, an insufficient viscosity does not allow the cleaning composition to adhere sufficiently to the walls, which reduces the contact time of the composition with the tartar. On the contrary, too high a viscosity prevents a diffusion of the perfume in the air surrounding the toilet or a diffusion in the stagnant water at the bottom of the toilet.

Un but de l'invention est donc de pouvoir four­nir une composition aqueuse acide épaissie, ne contenant pas d'acide fort, mais ayant un pouvoir détartrant satis­faisant.An object of the invention is therefore to be able to provide a thickened acidic aqueous composition, not containing strong acid, but having a satisfactory descaling power.

Un deuxième but de l'invention est de fournir une telle composition détartrante ayant une viscosité pouvant être réglée pour permettre une bonne adhérence sur des parois inclinées et en même temps une diffusion du parfum dans l'atmosphère ambiante.A second object of the invention is to provide such a descaling composition having a viscosity which can be adjusted to allow good adhesion to inclined walls and at the same time a diffusion of the perfume in the ambient atmosphere.

Un troisième but de l'invention est de fournir une composition aqueuse acide épaissie parfumée qui soit à la fois colorée, claire et limpide, stable à température ambiante et à + 40°C, pendant plusieurs mois.A third object of the invention is to provide a thickened, scented acidic aqueous composition which is at the same time colored, clear and limpid, stable at room temperature and at + 40 ° C., for several months.

Un autre but de l'invention est de fournir une composition détartrante pour nettoyage des sanitaires, comportant un seul agent de surface épaississant, de façon à diminuer le coût de fabrication.Another object of the invention is to provide a descaling composition for cleaning sanitary facilities, comprising a single thickening surfactant, so as to reduce the manufacturing cost.

On connait des systèmes épaississants qui sont constitués d'une amido-bétaïne de formule :

Figure imgb0001
dans laquelle R est un radical alkyle ou alcényle conte­nant de 9 à 17 atomes de carbone,
n est un entier de 2 à 4,
y est égal à 0 ou est un entier de 1 à 3,
et d'un sel choisi parmi les sulfates de métaux alcalins ou alcalino-terreux.We know thickening systems which consist of an amido-betaine of formula:
Figure imgb0001
in which R is an alkyl or alkenyl radical containing from 9 to 17 carbon atoms,
n is an integer from 2 to 4,
y is 0 or is an integer from 1 to 3,
and a salt chosen from alkali or alkaline earth metal sulfates.

De tels systèmes épaississants sont décrits dans la demande EP 0077674 (UNILEVER). Dans ce document, on mentionne que les bétaïnes qui ne comportent pas de groupe amido ne peuvent épaissir des compositions aqueuses. On mentionne aussi que les amido-bétaïnes ne peuvent être épaissies avec un sel qui est un chlorure de sodium ou bromure de sodium. Enfin, on cite une publication LONZA dans laquelle une cocoamido-bétaïne contentant du chlorure de sodium peut être épaissie par addition d'un agent de surface anionique.Such thickening systems are described in application EP 0077674 (UNILEVER). In this document, it is mentioned that betaines which do not contain an amido group cannot thicken aqueous compositions. It is also mentioned that amido-betaines cannot be thickened with a salt which is sodium chloride or sodium bromide. Finally, a LONZA publication is cited in which a cocoamido-betaine containing sodium chloride can be thickened by the addition of an anionic surfactant.

Dans la demande EP 0056595 (WELLCOME FOUNDA­TION), on décrit des compositions de shampoings contenant une bétaïne de formule :

Figure imgb0002
et un acide organique.In application EP 0056595 (WELLCOME FOUNDATION), shampoo compositions containing a betaine of the formula are described:
Figure imgb0002
and an organic acid.

Ces compositions peuvent être sous forme de gels si on leur rajoute un épaississant tel qu'un agent de surface, par example un nonylphénol éthoxylé, ou tel qu'un polymère, par exemple un dérivé de cellulose.These compositions can be in the form of gels if a thickener is added to them, such as a surfactant, for example an ethoxylated nonylphenol, or such as a polymer, for example a cellulose derivative.

Or, la demanderesse a constaté avec surprise, et contrairement à ce qui a été suggéré dans les publications antérieures, qu'une bétaïne ne comportant pas de groupe amido peut en présence d'acides faibles être épaissie par des halogénures ou des sulfates de métaux alcalins ou alcalino-terreux.However, the Applicant has surprisingly found, and contrary to what has been suggested in previous publications, that a betaine not comprising an amido group can, in the presence of weak acids, be thickened by halides or sulfates of alkali metals or alkaline earth.

Les bétaïnes sélectionnées par la demanderesse pour épaissir des compositions aqueuses contenant au moins un acide faible, en présence d'un halogénure de métal alcalin ou alcalino-terreux, sont choisies parmi les bé­taïnes ayant la formule générale suivante :

Figure imgb0003
ou la formule-générale suivante :
Figure imgb0004
dans lesquelles R est un radical alkyle ou alcényle en C₉-C₁₇, x et y sont indépendants l'un de l'autre et sont des entiers compris entre 0 et 5.The betaines selected by the applicant to thicken aqueous compositions containing at least one weak acid, in the presence of an alkali or alkaline earth metal halide, are chosen from betaines having the following general formula:
Figure imgb0003
or the following general formula:
Figure imgb0004
in which R is a C₉-C₁₇ alkyl or alkenyl radical, x and y are independent of each other and are integers between 0 and 5.

De manière surprenante, les bétaïnes de formule III et IV, non seulement épaississent les compositions aqueuses d'acide faible, et ce en présence d'halogénure de métal alcalin ou alcalino-terreux, mais encore permettent de mettre en dispersion les parfums qui peuvent être in­troduits en fin de mélange sans qu'il y ait de séparation en deux phases. Or, le fait d'ajouter un parfum à la fin de la formulation consitute un grand avantage pour l'in­dustriel. En effet, il peut fabriquer un mélange ne com­portant pas de parfum et, avec le même mélange, il peut introduire au stade final un parfum qu'il peut faire va­rier en fonction des goûts et des habitudes des consomma­teurs.Surprisingly, the betaines of formula III and IV not only thicken the aqueous weak acid compositions, and this in the presence of an alkali or alkaline earth metal halide, but also make it possible to disperse the perfumes which may be introduced at the end of mixing without separation into two phases. However, the fact of adding a perfume at the end of the formulation constitutes a great advantage for the manufacturer. Indeed, it can manufacture a mixture comprising no perfume and, with the same mixture, it can introduce at the final stage a perfume which it can vary according to the tastes and habits of the consumers.

Les bétaïnes sélectionnées par la demanderesse permettent en outre d'obtenir des compositions limpides et claires qui sont stables dans le temps, à température ambiante et jusqu'à + 40°C.The betaines selected by the applicant also make it possible to obtain clear and clear compositions which are stable over time, at ambient temperature and up to + 40 ° C.

L'invention concerne donc une composition aqueu­se acide épaissie, pour le nettoyage des sanitaires, ca­ractérisée par le fait qu'elle contient au moins une bé­taïne choisie parmi les bétaïnes ayant la formule (III) ou (IV), au moins un acide faible, au moins un sel, éventuel­lement un parfum, éventuellement un bactéricide, éventuel­lement un colorant, et de l'eau.The invention therefore relates to a thickened acidic aqueous composition for cleaning sanitary facilities, characterized in that it contains at least one betaine chosen from betaines having the formula (III) or (IV), at least one weak acid, at least one salt, optionally a perfume, optionally a bactericide, optionally a dye, and water.

Le rapport en poids sel/bétaïne est de préféren­ce inférieur à environ 1,5 : 1. La composition contient de 0,5 à 10 % en poids d'au moins une bétaïne de formule (III) ou (IV) et de 0,1 à 15 % en poids d'au moins un sel.The salt / betaine weight ratio is preferably less than about 1.5: 1. The composition contains from 0.5 to 10% by weight of at least one betaine of formula (III) or (IV) and of 0, 1 to 15% by weight of at least one salt.

Elle contient de préférence de 2 à 8 % en poids d'au moins une bétaïne de formule (III) ou (IV), de 0,5% à 6 % en poids d'au moins un acide faible, de 0,2 à 10 % en poids d'un sel.It preferably contains from 2 to 8% by weight of at least one betaine of formula (III) or (IV), from 0.5% to 6% by weight of at least one weak acid, from 0.2 to 10% by weight of a salt.

En ce qui concerne la bétaïne, on préfère tout particulièrement celles où x = y = 2 pour une bétaïne de formule (III) et celles où x = y = 0 pour une bétaïne de formule (IV).As regards betaine, preference is particularly given to those where x = y = 2 for a betaine of formula (III) and those where x = y = 0 for a betaine of formula (IV).

L'acide faible est choisi de préférence parmi les acides formique, acétique, citrique, lactique, succi­nique, gluconique, glutarique, adipique, malique ou leurs mélanges.The weak acid is preferably chosen from formic, acetic, citric, lactic, succinic, gluconic, glutaric, adipic, malic acids or their mixtures.

Le sel peut être choisi parmi les chlorures, bromures, iodures et sulfates de métaux alcalins ou alca­lino-terreux. La composition est remarquable du fait qu'elle permet de mélanger tous les constituants et d'a­jouter le parfum dans l'étape finale.The salt can be chosen from chlorides, bromides, iodides and sulfates of alkali or alkaline earth metals. The composition is remarkable because it makes it possible to mix all the constituents and to add the perfume in the final stage.

La description suivante, en regard des exemples annexés, permettra de comprendre comment l'invention peut être mise en pratique.
Sauf indications contraires, les quantités sont données en % en poids.
The following description, with reference to the appended examples, will make it possible to understand how the invention can be put into practice.

On voit donc que la quantité de sel ajoutée ne doit pas être trop importante; en tout cas on a pu constater que le rapport sel/bétaïne doit être infé­rieur à 2 : 1 et de préférence égal à 1 : 1. De plus, pour donner en présence d'un parfum une viscosité de l'ordre de 180 mPa.s, la quantité de bétaïne doit être supérieure à 3 % en poids, de préférence 3,6 % en poids, et la quan­tité de NaCl doit être sensiblement égale, en % en poids.We therefore see that the amount of salt added must not be too large; in any case, it has been observed that the salt / betaine ratio must be less than 2: 1 and preferably equal to 1: 1. In addition, to give a viscosity of the order of 180 mPa in the presence of a perfume. s, the amount of betaine must be greater than 3% by weight, preferably 3.6% by weight, and the amount of NaCl must be substantially equal, in% by weight.

EXEMPLE 5EXAMPLE 5

On effectue le même mélange que dans l'exemple 3,mais on introduit en tant qu'acide un mélange:
- 1/3 d'acide glutarique
- 1/3 d'acide adipique
- 1/3 d'acide succinique,
vendu par BASF sous le nom commercial SOKALAN DCS.
The same mixture is carried out as in Example 3, but a mixture is introduced as acid:
- 1/3 of glutaric acid
- 1/3 adipic acid
- 1/3 of succinic acid,
sold by BASF under the trade name SOKALAN DCS.

On obtient une viscosité de 200 mPa.s.A viscosity of 200 mPa.s. is obtained.

EXEMPLE 6EXAMPLE 6

On effectue le mélange suivant :
- 0,5 % d'acide citrique
- 0,5 % d'acide phosphorique
- 2 % d'acide formique
- 3,6 % de bétaïne du produit AM-TEG (en 100%)
- 0,002 % de colorant
- 0,265 % de bactéricide
- 3 % de NaCl
- qsp 100 % d'eau.
The following mixture is carried out:
- 0.5% citric acid
- 0.5% phosphoric acid
- 2% formic acid
- 3.6% betaine from the AM-TEG product (in 100%)
- 0.002% dye
- 0.265% bactericide
- 3% NaCl
- qs 100% water.

On obtient une composition ayant une viscosité de 520 mPa.s. En rajoutant 0,25 % de parfum, on obtient selon la nature du parfum une viscosité comprise entre 100 et 400 mPa.s.A composition is obtained having a viscosity of 520 mPa.s. By adding 0.25% of perfume, depending on the nature of the perfume, a viscosity of between 100 and 400 mPa.s is obtained.

EXEMPLE 7EXAMPLE 7

On effectue le même mélange que dans l'exemple 3, mais on modifie l'ordre d'introduction, à savoir que l'on introduit le parfum en fin de formulation. On obtient une formule stable, dont le point de trouble est supérieur à + 80°C.The same mixing is carried out as in Example 3, but the order of introduction is modified, namely that the perfume is introduced at the end of formulation. A stable formula is obtained, the cloud point of which is greater than + 80 ° C.
