Definitions
- the present invention relates to a non-yellowing fabricsoftening composition which may be used in conjunction with other conventional laundering additives.
- finishing Among the desirable properties that may be provided by finishing are enhanced softness, antistatic activity, wrinkle resistance, stiffness or firmness, shape retention, rot resistance and the like.
- the particular end use of the fabric generally governs the nature of the property modifications provided by mill finishing. It is not generally feasible to effect all property modifications on a single fabric. Moreover, there are many fabrics that are not subjected to mill finishing at all. Therefore, there are many fabrics and garments made therefrom in the hands of con sumers that would have enhanced value with certain prop erty modifications.
- a cationic substance such as the aforementioned softeners
- anionic detergent materials results in a precipitate which is completely ineffective as a fabric softener.
- This manifestation of incompatibility is also un- Patented May 11, 1971 desirable because it removes detergent from the wash cycle and therefore requires more to accomplish the necessary and desired washing efiiciency.
- a further disadvantage of the cationic fabric softeners is that many of them are waxy or gummy in nature making them diflicult to weigh or measure, to mix or disperse with other textile-treating agents, and to place them in a form which may be readily applied to textiles.
- a still further object of the instant invention is to provide a non-yellowing fabric-softening composition.
- Still another object of the instant invention is to provide a non-yellowing fabric-softening composition which is compatible with and useful in conjunction with anionc, catonic, and nonionic detergent compositions.
- Another object of the instant invention is to provide a fabric-softening composition comprising 3-sulfolene or its derivatives in a combination with a long-chain aliphatic alcohol.
- a further object of the instant invention is to provide a non-yellowing fabric softening composition comprising 3-sulfolene and its derivatives and l-hexadecanol alcohol.
- a still further object of the instant invention is to provide a non-yellowing fabric softening composition comprising 3-sulfolene and l-hexadecanol alcohol in combination with a detergent.
- the fabric-softening composition ofthe instant invention comprises a mixture of 3-sulfolene or substituted 3-sulfolene derivatives in combination with long-chain aliphatic alcohols.
- the 3-sulfolene and its derivatives which are useful in the instant invention include 3-sulfoluene and'its alkyl, alkoxy, alkylalkoxy, acyl, carboalkoxy, carboxamido, sulfonamido and halogen derivatives.
- the useful derivatives include the: methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, iso-butyl, secondary-butyl, tertiary-butyl, n-amyl, iso-amyl, tertiary-amyl, and other isomeric amyls, n-hexyl, iso-hexyl, and other isomeric hexyls, hydroxy, methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, methylmethoxy, ethylmethoxy, propylmethoxy, butylmethoxy, pentylmethoxy, hexylmethoxy, octylmethoxy, decylmethoxy, dodecylmethoxy, tetradecylmethoxy, hexadecylmethoxy, octadecylmethoxy;
- the long-chain alcohols useful in the instant invention 1 include saturated aliphatic alcohols having from 16 to 22 carbon atoms.
- the useful alcohols include straight and branched chain alcohols, including: decanol, undecanol, lauryl alcohol, tridecanol, tetradecanol, myristyl alcohol, pentadecanol hexadecanol, cetyl alcohol, heptadecanol, octadecanol, stearyl alcohol, nondecanol, eicosanol, heneicosanol, docosanol.
- Some additional alcohols useful in connection with the instant invention include: isodecanol, isotetradecanol, isohexadecanol, isooctadecanol, and the position isomers of all the above alcohols, e.g., l-hexadecanol, 3-hexadecanol, S-hexadecanol, 6-hexadecanol, 8-hexadecanol.
- EXAMPLE 1 The softening ability of cetyl alcohol for cloth was demonstrated in a test in which cetyl alcohol was dissolved in hot water and a terry cloth towel was treated therewith. The terry cloth towel was then rinsed, air dried, and subsequently tested for its degree of softness. The towel received a rating of 1 on a scale of 10 with a rating of 10 being considered excellent insofar as softness and flufiiness are concerned and a rating of 1 indicating no noticeable change. A rating of 5 cannot generally be distinguished by the layman from a rating of 1.
- EXAMPLE 2 3-sulfolene was tested according to the method of Example l.
- the terry cloth towel was given a softness rating of 1.
- EXAMPLE 3 A mechanical blend consisting of one part of 3-sulfolene to ten parts of alcohol was tested according to the method of Example 1. A terry cloth towel was given a softness rating of 8. The relative amounts of each ingredi ent of the test compositions were varied so that a composition containing one part of 3-sulfolene to one, three, five, and eight parts of cetyl alcohol; and two parts of cetyl alcohol to three, five, seven, nine, and fifteen parts of 3-sulfolene were also tested. Each of these composi .tions produced a satisfactory result.
- Percent Fabric softener two parts of 3-sulfolene and three' parts of l-hexadecanol 0.01 Linear alkylbenzene sulfonate 0.02 Sodium tripolyphosphate 0.06
- the blend of fabric softener was dissolved in hot water to which was added the linear alkylbenzene sulfonate. This aqueous solution was then added to a washing machine along with sodium tripolyphosphate. A terry cloth tower was then Washed with this composition through the normal washing machine sequence of wash cycle, spin cycle, rinse cycle, and spin cycle. The terry cloth towel was then air-dried and rated for its relative degree of softness, receiving a rating of 8.
- a rinse cycle fabric softening composition is prepared having the following components:
- Fabric softening composition compounds of the instant invention may be employed either alone or in direct combination with conventional detergents.
- the useful detergents which may be used in conjunction with the instant fabric softening composition include anionic detergents such as alkylbenzene-sulfonic acid and its salts, and compounds of the formula alkyl-phenyl-SOg-M wherein alkyl is an alkyl radical of a fatty acid and M is hydrogen or an alkali metal, which compounds comprise a well-known class of anionic detergents and include sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, potassium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, sodium laurylbenzenesulfonate, sodium cetylbenzenesulfonate.
- alkali metal salts of the higher alkylsulfonic acids and the alkali metal dialkyl sulfosuccinates e.g., sodium dioctylsulfoscuccinate, and sodium dihexylsulfosuccinate, sodium sulfoethylphthalate, sodium lauryl-p-anisidinesulfonate; sodium tetradecanesulfonate; sodium diisopropyhlaphthalenesulfonate; sodium octylphenoxyethoxyethylsulfonate, etc.; and the alkali metal alkyl sulfates, e.g., sodium lauryl sulfate.
- alkylbenzene-sulfonic acid and salts thereof there are included those which are biodegradable and which are particularly characterized by a linear alkyl substituent of from C to C and preferably from C to C It is, of course, understood that the carbon chain length represents, in general, an average chain length since the method for producing such products usually employ alkylating reagents of mixed chain length.
- substantially pure olefins as well as alkylating compounds used in other techniques can and do give alkylated benzene sulfonates wherein the alkyl moiety is substantially (ie at least 99%) of one chain length, i.e., C12, C C 01' C
- the linear alkyl benzene sulfonates are further characterized by the position of the benzene ring in the linear alkyl chain, with any of the position isomers (i.e., alpha to omega) being operable and contemplated.
- the linear alkyl benzene sulfonates are generally and conveniently prepared by sulfonating the corresponding alkyl benzene hydrocarbons which in turn may be prepared by alkylating benzene with a linear alkyl halide, a l-alkene or a linear primary or secondary alcohol.
- Pure isomers (of the l-phenyl isomer) are prepared by reduction of the acylated benzene (alkyl phenyl ketone) using a modification of the WolfE-Kishner reaction.
- the 2-phenyl isomer is obtained from n-undecyl phenyl ketone and methyl magnesium bromide to form the tertiary alcohol which is dehydrated to the alkene and then hydrogenated.
- the S-phenyl isomer is obtained similarly from n-heptyl phenyl ketone and n-butyl magnesium bromide.
- the other isomers are obtained in a similar manner from the appropriate n-alkyl phenyl ketone and n-alkyl magnesium bromide.
- benzene sulfonates may also ernploy the lower alkyl (C to C analogs of benzene such as toluene, xylene, the trimethyl benzenes, ethylbenzene, isopropyl benzene and the like.
