Abstract

A composition is provided comprising two liquids which are separately maintained prior to forming an admixture during delivery to a surface to be treated, whereupon the admixture generates a foam sufficient for cleaning efficacy and stability. A first liquid preferably includes a hypohalite, or a hypohalite generating agent and a second liquid preferably includes a peroxygen agent. The first liquid is thickened to a specified rheology, resulting in the generation of a highly effective foam. As the two liquids are initially separated, the hypohalite generating agent can be maintained in an environment free of peroxygen agent and otherwise conducive to their cleaning activity and stability up to the time of use. When the two liquids are allowed to mix, for example, by simultaneously pouring into a drain, the hypohalite and peroxygen react to liberate oxygen gas. As foam generation occurs, the escaping gas contacts surfactant in the solution, and creates foam which expands to completely fill the drain pipe. The expanded foam contains an excess of the hypohalite, which acts to clean the drain.

Claims (20)

1. A composition for cleaning comprising (a) a first liquid comprising an oxidant and a thickening system characterized in that the first liquid has a viscosity of between 150-2000 cP, a static shear modulus of 0.5-5 Pa, a relaxation time of 3-30 sec and a relative elasticity of 3-50 sec/Pa;
and (b) a second liquid comprising a gas generating agent; and wherein the first and second aqueous liquids are separately maintained prior to forming an admixture during delivery to a surface to be treated, whereupon the admixture generates a foam sufficient for cleaning efficacy and stability.
2. The composition of claim 1 wherein the first liquid includes at least one surfactant.
3. The composition of claim 2 wherein the first liquid includes a betaine surfactant and an aryl sulfonate surfactant.
4. The composition of claim 1, wherein the oxidant is selected from the group consisting of the alkali metal and alkaline earth salts of hypohalite, haloamines, haloimines, haloimides, haloamides and mixtures thereof; and the gas generating agent is selected from the group consisting of organic and inorganic peracids, organic and inorganic persalts, peracetic acid, monoperoxysulfate, hydrogen peroxide, and mixtures thereof.
5. The composition of claim 4 wherein, the oxidant is present in a molar excess over the gas generating agent in a range of about 10:1 to 1:1.
6. The composition of claim 1, wherein an initial phase of foam is generated at an initial rate of about 150-800 mls/sec, said initial phase lasting about 10 seconds.
7. The composition of claim 6, and further including a secondary phase of foam, generated at a secondary rate of about 0 to 150 mls/sec, said secondary phase lasting about 1800 seconds.
8. The composition of claim 7, wherein, the foam is characterized by a density of at least about 0.1 g/ml, a volume of at least 2 times the liquid volume, and a half life of greater than about thirty minutes, and wherein the foam contains a drain cleaning-effective amount of a drain cleaning active
9. The composition of claim 1 wherein, the first liquid is characterized by a viscosity of about 700-1500 cP, a relative elasticity of about 6-12 sec/Pa, a relaxation time of about 5-15 seconds, and a static shear modulus of about 0.7-3 Pa.
10. An in-situ foaming drain cleaner comprising (a) a first viscoelastic liquid including an oxidant, and a surfactant;
(b) a second liquid including a gas-generating agent; and wherein the first and second aqueous liquids are disposed in a dual chamber container such that they are separately maintained prior to forming an admixture during delivery to a drain to be treated, whereupon the admixture generates a foam sufficient for cleaning efficacy and stability, the foam being generated at an initial rate of 150-800 ml/sec, and wherein a contact rate for foam remaining in an affected area of a drain is at least 75 percent.
11. The composition of claim 12 wherein an active loss rate is less than about 25 percent.
12. The composition of claim 10 wherein the oxidant is present in a stoichiometric amount over the gas-generating agent wherein said excess acts as a drain-opening active.
13. The composition of claim 10 and further including a drain opening active.
14. The composition of claim 10 wherein the first liquid includes a betaine surfactant and an aryl sulfonate surfactant.
15. The composition of claim 10 and further including: an alkali metal hydroxide, an alkali metal silicate, an alkali metal carbonate, and an alkali metal chloride.
16. A method for clearing restrictions caused by organic materials in drain pipes comprising (a) introducing into a drain at least one liquid which generates foam in situ, the foam characterized by a density of at least about 0.1 g/ml, a volume of at least two times the liquid volume, and a half life of greater than about thirty minutes, wherein the foam contains a cleaning-effective amount of a drain cleaning active, and wherein the foam is characterized by a contact rate of foam remaining in an affected area of a drain is of at least 75 percent; and (b) allowing the composition to remain in contact with the organic restriction material to react therewith.
17. The method of claim 16 wherein the liquid which generates foam in-situ is comprised of:
a first aqueous liquid, comprising an oxidant, and a surfactant, and having a viscosity of at least about 150 cP, a static shear modulus of at least 0.5 Pa, a relaxation time of at least about 3 sec, and a relative elasticity of about 3-50 sec/Pa; and a second aqueous liquid, including a gas-generating agent; and wherein the first and second aqueous liquids are disposed in a container such that they are separately maintained prior to forming an admixture during delivery to a drain to be treated, whereupon the admixture generates a foam sufficient for cleaning efficacy and stability.
18. The method of claim 16 wherein the reaction between the first and second liquids occurs primarily in the sink.
19. The method of claim 16 wherein an initial phase of foam is generated at an initial rate of about 150-800 mls/sec.
20. The method of claim 16 wherein an active loss rate is less than about 25 percent.
