Definitions
- This invention relates to cleaning compositions for rugs, carpets, and upholstery. More particularly, this invention relates to improved rug shampoo compositions for cleaning natural and synthetic carpets, rugs, upholstery, and area coverings.
- carpet cleaning compositions such as conventional rug shampoos, are typically composed of a primary detergent which assists the cleaning solvent, such as water, in loosening soil and a foam stabilizer or detergent extender which builds and maintains thick foam desired in cleaning heavy pile materials.
- the thick foam carries loosened soil to the top of the carpet fibers where it may be removed, and in addition prevents wetting of the carpet backing.
- the primary detergent may be a liquid or a solid, but formulations that dry to a removable powder are preferred.
- the trend in rug and upholstery shampoos is toward cleaning compositions that dry to a powder which can be removed easily by vacuuming.
- a shampoo residue which cannot be completely removed from carpet materials contributes to dulling of the carpet fibers, retention of loosened soil, and resoiling of cleaned carpets. Optimum removal of such residues is not readily accomplished due to the tacky or waxy nature of detergents, surfactants and additives, such as foam stabilizers, contained in the carpet cleaning compositions.
- the improved carpet and upholstery cleaning or rug shampoo composition comprises a water-soluble metal, ammonium or amine salt of a styrene-maleic anhydride copolyrner or its half-ester with a rug shampoo detergent or with a rug shampoo foam builder or foam stabilizer.
- a Water-soluble rug shampoo detergent and Watersoluble rug shampoo foam builder are employed.
- the Water-soluble metal, ammonium or amine salt of the styrene-maleic anhydride copolyrner or its half-ester can be used in amounts of about 5 to by weight of the total active material in the rug shampoo composition and in ratio or parts by weight to the rug shampoo detergent of about 1:20 to 20: 1, preferably of about 1:1 to 1:7.
- the water-soluble salt of the styrene-maleic anhydride polymer or of its half-ester can be used as an additive to existing or other rug shampoo compositions in amounts of from about 5 to 95%, preferably about 25 to 50%, by weight of total solids material in the composition.
- the present additive also makes possible the use in rug shampoo compositions of inexpensive detergents which otherwise give unsatisfactory results through their tendency to leave oily residues.
- the water-soluble foam builder or stabilizer can be employed in sufficient amount to produce a foam which is usually about 5- to 50% by Weight of the total solids and preferably about 10 to 35% by weight of the total solids in the rug shampoo composition.
- the rug shampoo composition of this invention may be a dry solid mixture which is dissolved in water prior to use.
- Weight of total solids of the rug shampoo composition is meant the components other than water and alcohol, hydrocarbon or other solvent, if any is present.
- the rug shampoo composition of this invention is usually prepared in concentrated aqueous solution wherein the water-soluble, metal, ammonium or amine salt of the styrene maleic anhydride copolyrner or its half-ester and the detergent and foam builder or stabilizer, if any, comprise at least about 5 weight percent, preferably about 12% and often up to about 50 to 70 weight percent of the total aqeuous composition, the ratio by weight of the watersoluble salt and the detergent and the weight percent of the foam stabilizer, if any, being as heretofore stated.
- the remainder of the rug shampoo composition is usually Water.
- the concentrated rug shampoo composition is diluted with water to give a total concentration of the water-soluble metal, ammonium or amine salt of the styrene-maleic anhydride copolyrner or its esters and detergent and foam builder, if any, in from about 0.5 to 2 or 3 weight percent of the total aqueous solution, preferably about 1 weight percent, which is the final form of the rug shampoo composition for applying to the carpet for cleaning or shampooing.
- the solvent may include minor amounts of water-soluble alcohols, and silicates or other alkaline builders, e.g. phosphates, while function as water softeners and also aid in the removal of dirt.
- additional components such as grease or oil solvents, sequestrants, viscosity builders and optical brighteners, may be added when the cleaning composition is utilized for a specified purpose.
- the water-soluble, metal, ammonium, and amine salts of styrene-maleic anhydride polymers and their half-esters are well known as shown by US. Pat. 3,388,106, issued June 11, 1968.
- the preferred water-soluble, metal salts are those of Group II and the alkali metals, particularly magnesium and sodium.
- the preferred amine salts are the morpholine, lower amine and lower alkanolamine salts, such as ethanolamine and Z-hydroxypropyla-mine salts.
- various primary or secondary water-soluble amine salts can be used, such as those of alkylamines, alkanolamines of l to about 18 carbon atoms, preferably 1 to about 6 carbon atoms, e.g.
- the preferred half-esters are the cycloalkanol and alkanol half esters particularly of alcohols of up to about 18 carbon atoms and preferably of up to about 8 carbon atoms, such as the cyclohexanol and n-propyl alcohol half-esters.
- the ammonium salts are most preferred.
- the styrene-maleic anhydride ammonium salt solutions often have a pH range of about 7.5 to 10.
- the pH measurements were taken on styrene-maleic anhydride ammonium salt solutions with and without foam builders.
- Commercial carpet cleaning compositions have a pH range of about 7.2 to 7.9.
- Various water-soluble rug shampoo detergents can be used with the water-soluble salt of the styrene-maleic anhydride polymer, but it is preferable to use a watersoluble sulfate of the formula where 'R is alkyl of about 8 to 20 carbon atoms, preferably 10 to 14 or even up to about 18 carbon atoms, at is to about or more, preferably 2 or 3, and M is the ammonium, amino or metal cation which forms a watersoluble salt, such as a Group II metal or an alkali metal, preferably magnesium or sodium.
- the preferred amine salts are the morpholine, lower amine and lower alkanolamine salts, such as ethanolamine and Z-hydroxypropylamine.
- alkylamines alkanolamines or heterocyclic amines usually alkylmonoamines or alkanolmonoamines of 1 to about 18 carbon atoms, preferably 1 to 6 carbon atoms, e.g. ethylamine, propylamine or oct-adecylamine, can be used.
- rug shampoo detergents are the water-soluble ammonium, amine and metal salts of fatty alkyl sulfates (i.e. sulfated fatty alcohols) and fatty alkyl ethoxylated sulfates (i.e. sulfated oxyethylated fatty alcohols).
- fatty alkyl sulfates and fatty alkyl ethoxylated sulfates include the sodium, potassium, calcium, zinc, ammonium, magnesium and the monoand diethanolamine salts of lauryl sulfate and of lauryl ethoxylated sulfates. Sodium and magnesium lauryl sulfates are preferred.
- the water-soluble sarcosines or sarcosinates are condensates of fatty acid and sarconsine (N-acylsarcosines 4 or N-acylsarcosinates) and can be represented by the formula:
- R is alkyl of about 12 to 18 carbon atoms and A is hydrogen, ammonium, amino or metal which forms a water-soluble sarcosinate salt, such as a Group II metal or an alkali metal, e.g. sodium or magnesium.
- the amino radical can be the same as in the sulfates.
- the preferred sarcosinate is sodium lauryl sarcosinate.
- a water-soluble foam builder stabilizer can be used with the water-soluble salt of styrene-maleic anhydride polymer and detergent compositions of this invention but is not necessary, although many rug shampoo formulations include a foam builder.
- foam builders are well known to the art and include sulfosuccinates, alkanol and alkyl amides, and cycloimidines.
- the water-soluble, metal, ammonium or amine salts of the styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer and its halfesters do have rug cleaning properties, they can be used as the sole detergent with a foam builder or stabilizer, some of which, such as the sulfosuccinates, also have detergent properties.
- the water-soluble salt of the styrene-maleic anhydride c0- polymer or its half-ester and the detergent, if any, would generally be about 25 to 95%, preferably about 50 to 90% by weight of total solids and the foam builder or stabilizer about 75 to 5%, preferably 50 to 10% by weight of total solids.
- Alkanolamides and alkylamides are foam and viscosity builders. They are condensation products of alkanolamines or alkylamines and fatty acids. These fatty acid alkanolamides and alkylamides can be represented by the formula:
- R is alkyl of about 8 to 20 carbon atoms, preferably of about 10 to 14 carbon atoms.
- R is hydrogen alkyl of 1 to about 6 carbon atoms or hydroxyalkyl of 1 to about 6 carbon atoms.
- a typical alkanol amide is lauric diethanolamide.
- Particularly suitable alkylamides for use in this invention are lauryl amides, e.g., lauryl isopropyl amide and lauryl diisopropyl amide.
- the sulfosuccinates are the salts of fatty acid alkylolamide sulfosuccinic acid half-esters and the salts of sulfosuccinic acid half-esters of fatty alcohols. These sulfoscuccinates have been used in rug shampoo formulations as shown by US. Pat. 3,401,007, issued Sept. 10, 1968, and are represented by the general formula:
- R is a fatty acid residue or fatty alcohol residue usually acyl or alkyl of about 10-18 carbon atoms
- X is oxygen or an alkylene grouping joined respectively to R and to the su'lfosuccinic residue via amide type or ester type linkages
- one of Y and Z is hydrogen and the other is the group M
- M is any salt-forming metal cation of Groups I, II and III of the Periodic Table.
- sulfosuccinates examples include the sodium salt of the sulfosuccinic acid half-ester of cocoanut oil fatty alcohols, the sodium salt of the sulfosuccinic half-ester of lauric acid monoethanolamide, the sodium salt of the su'lfosuccinic acid half-ester of myristic acid monoisopropanolamide and the sodium salt of the sulfosuccinic acid half-ester of lauryl alcohol.
- Preferred sulfosuccinates are the sulfosuccinic acid half-esters of fatty acid alkylo'lamides or fatty alcohols.
- sulfosuccinates may be used singly or in combination of two or more in the rug shampoo compositions with the water-soluble salt of the styrene-maleic anhydride polymer or of its half-ester of this invention.
- These sulfosuccinates not only give added detergent strength to the rug shampoo compositions, but also act as a foam stabilizer that aids the detergent to form a dry residue which can be vacuumed out with the carpet soil and also tends to reduce electrostatic charge build-up on the cleaned carpets.
- amphoteric cycloimidines or imidazolines are foam builders useful in shampoo formulations as disclosed in US. Pat. 3,231,580, issued Jan. 25, 1966.
- the foam builders are used in an amount sufiicient to build a foam such as about 5 to 75%, preferably to 50% of total solids.
- the commercial rug shampoo concentrated formulations to which the water-soluble, metal, ammonium or amine salt of styrene-maleic anhydride polymer or its half-ester can be added to obtain the improved rug shampoo compositions of this invention is the following formulation TABLE A Weight percent Sodium or magnesium lauryl sulfate (30%) 12 Why diethanolamine foam stabilizer 3 Water 85
- the commercial rug shampoo formulation may also contain a small amount, such as 1.5% by weight of a sequestrant, such as ethylene diamine-tetraacetic acid and its water-soluble salts, such as alkali metal salts, particularly sodium salts.
- a typical dilution ratio of the above formulation for use to shampoo the carpet is 1 part of this concentrate to about 8 parts of water.
- the lauryl sulfate salt can be replaced by the water-soluble salt of the styrenemaleic anhydride polymer or its half-ester to give best results.
- This can readily be done by mixing into the commercial shampoo concentrate the water soluble salt of the polymer in amount of about 40% to 100% by weight of the detergent or even of the total solids in the commercial shampoo formulations.
- about 10% to 100% by weight of the water-soluble salt to detergent is used as shown by the following typical rug shampoo composition of this invention in diluted form ready for use on the carpet.
- rug shampoo detergents and foam builders can be used.
- the amount of water-soluble salt of styrene-maleic anhydride polymer to be incorporated in the rug shampoo formulation need only be sufficient to embrittle the residue left on the carpet after shampooing so it can easily be removed. This prevents rapid resoiling of the carpet since early resoiling is related to a waxy residue adhering to the carpet after sbampooing.
- the foam stabilizer can be the various foam builders used in rug shampoos, such as lauric diethanolamide, lauryl isopropyl amide, the sodium salt of sulfosuccinic half-ester of lauric acid monoethanolamide or an amphoteric cycloimidine, such as of the formula:
- the styrene-maleic anhydride resins used in the rug shampoo compositions of the present invention are watersoluble, metal, ammonium and amine salts of styrenemaleic anhydride resins and their partial or half-esters, having about 1 to 4 moles, preferably about 1 to 3 moles of styrene per mole of maleic anhydride. If desired, maleic esters can be used instead of maleic anhydride in formation of the resins with styrene.
- These resinous polymers contain repeating units of polymerized styrene and maleic anhydride and have an average molecular weight of about 600 to 50,000.
- the preferred average molecular Weight of these resins is about 700 to 5,000.
- the melting points of these lower molecular weight polymers will often range from about to 200 C. as determined by the Fisher-Johns melting point apparatus.
- polymers of styrene and maleic anhydride can be prepared by known methods.
- a preferred method is by solution polymerization where the monomers are polymerized in a suitable solvent employing as a polymerization catalyst a free-radical peroxide catalyst, preferably benzoyl peroxide or dicumyl peroxide at a temperature of about 75 to 300 C. or more.
- suitable solvents include the aromatic hydrocarbon solvents, such as cumene, pcymene, xylene, toluene and the like. The aromatic solvents may serve as chain terminating solvents and give lower molecular weight products.
- Other suitable solvents are the ketones, such as methylethyl ketone, which may also be chain-terminating solvents.
- the preferred manner of carrying out the polymerization is by what is known in the art as incremental feed addition.
- the monomer and catalyst are first dissolved in a portion of the solvent in which the polymerization is to be conducted and the resulting solution fed in increments into a reactor containing solvent heated to reaction temperature, usually the reflux temperature of the mixture.
- solvent heated to reaction temperature usually the reflux temperature of the mixture.
- the formulation of the polymers causes a heterogeneous system, the polymer layer being the heavier layer and recoverable by merely decanting the upper aromatic solvent layer and drying.
- a ketone is the solvent, the formed polymer is usually soluble in the solvent media so that recovery of the products necessitates a solvent stripping operation.
- the partial esters of the styrene-maleic anhydride polymers can be prepared by known methods.
- partial esters of from about 20 to half-ester can be prepared by known methods.
- partial esters of from about 20 to 120% half-ester can be prepared by esterifying the styrene-maleic anhydride polymer with the required equivalent amount of an alcohol, such as an alkanol or cycloalkanol, generally up to about 18 carbon atoms, preferably of up to about 8 carbon atoms, such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, hexanol, cyclohexanol, octanol, octadecanol and the like.
- the usual known methods of partial esterification can be employed, such as by heating in a solvent, the alcohol and the styrenemaleic anhydride polymer.
- Norm-Gardner Color was in 15% aqueous ammonia solution.
- Resin D is a cyclohexyl half-ester of a 1 to 1 mole ratio styrene-maleic anhydride resin esterified to about 65% half-ester with cyclohexyl alcohol.
- Resin E is an n-propyl half-ester of a 2 to 1 mole ratio styrene-maleic anhydride resin esterified to about 65% half-ester with n-propyl alcohol. All of the styrenemaleic anhydride resins A to C and their half-esters D and E are in powder form.
- ammonium salt and Water-soluble metal salts of the copolymers of styrene and maleic anhydride and their partial esters can be prepared by simple hydrolysis of the copolymer or partial ester with water in the presence respectively of ammonium hydroxide or water-soluble metal hydroxide, such as alkali metal hydroxides.
- the hydrolysis can be conveniently carried out by making a slurry in distilled water of the ammonium hydroxide or water-soluble metal hydroxide and heating over a water bath until the hydrolysis is complete.
- ammonium hydroxide or metal hydroxide it is desirable to use excess ammonium hydroxide or metal hydroxide, say up to about weight percent or more, over that stoichiometrically required to form the ammonium or water-soluble metal salt of the copolymer of styrene and maleic anhydride.
- Various water-soluble metal hydroxides can be used, such as the alkali metal hydroxides, such as sodium, potassium and lithium, but sodium hydroxide is preferred.
- Water-soluble amine salts of the styrene-maleic anhydride polymers and their partial esters can be prepared by known methods.
- the styrene-maleic anhydride polymers and their partial esters can be reacted with primary amines, such as alkylamines, alkanolamines or heterocyclic amines, usually alkyl monoamines or alkanol monoamines of 1 to about 18 carbon atoms, preferably 1 to about 6 carbons, e.g. ethylamine, propylarnine, octadecylamine, ethanolamine, 2-hydroxypropylamide and morpholine.
- An excess of the amine over that stoichiometrically required to react with the styrene-maleic anhydried polymer is used such as 2 moles or more of amine per anhydride unit of the polymer.
- styrene and maleic anhydride resins be hydrolyzed with ammonium hydroxide at high solids and subsequently reduced to the lower concentration.
- Styrenemaleic anhydride resin C and the partial esters D and E can be hy drolyzed at 20% solids with subsequent dilution for end use purposes.
- the 20% solution of styrene-maleic anhydride resin C can be reduced to solution while still at hydrolysis temperature to circumvent the high viscosity of the solution at room temperature.
- Styrenemaleic anhydride resins A and B can be hydrolyzed up to 50% and respectively. However, the ammonia should be added very slowly or the exotherm will cause the resin solution to boil over the hydrolysis kettle.
- the following examples are typical preparation of aqueous ammonia salt solutions of these styrene-maleic anhydride resins.
- Styrene-maleic anhydride resin C. is preferred for use in household shampoo formulations. However, to obtain more concentrated shampoo formulations, resins A and B are desirable in that they give lower solution viscosities at high solids concentrations.

In addition, 0.5% by weight of lauryl isopropyl amide was added to each solution for,
- test rug shampoo formulations were used to shampoo one of the soiled carpet samples at an approximate coverage of 0.75 ml./sq. in.
- the test rug shampoo formulation was drained onto the surface of the carpet sample and worked to a foam by brushing with a soft nylon brush. The samples were allowed to dry at room temperature. After drying, the samples were vacuumed thoroughly to remove loosened soil and the shampoo residue. Sample appearances were evaluated by comparison of soiled sections, shampooed cleaned sections and unsoiled samples. Relative ratings were assigned to each shampoo prepartion based on three tests as follows:
- EXAMPLE II As a soiling material for use in this and following examples, household vacuum cleaner dirt was collected and sieved to obtain more uniformity. The final sieve was #20 mesh. This procedure does not remove the oily soils and retains most of the solid soils. This soil material was then thoroughly mixed.
