Abstract

Abstract Detergent bar binder comprising (a) fatty acid or alcohol component having an iodine number less than about 20 and a melting point of at least about 50° C. and being selected from the group consisting of fatty acids or alcohols having from 12 to 22 carbon atoms, mono-, di- or triglycerides of such fatty acids, fatty acid esters of such fatty alcohols and mixtures thereof and (b) alkyl amide represented by the formula: ##STR1## where R 1 represents a straight chain alkyl radical containing from 10 to 22 carbon atoms and R 2 represents hydrogen or an alkyl radical containing from 1 to 3 carbon atoms. The binder is used in a non-soap detergent bar containing anionic foaming and foam boosting detergents.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 155 words
A detergent bar binder composition comprising the following combination of ingredients: (a) fatty acid or alcohol component having an iodine number less than about 20 and a melting point of at least about 50° C. and being selected from the group consisting of fatty acids or alcohols having from 12 to 22 carbon atoms, mono-, di- or tri-glycerides of such fatty acids, fatty acid esters of such fatty alcohols and mixtures thereof and; (b) alkyl amide represented by the formula: ##STR3## where R 1 represents a straight chain alkyl radial containing from 10 to 22 carbon atoms and R 2 represents hydrogen or an alkyl radical containing from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, said alkyl amide being present in an amount between about 2 and about 30 wt% of said binder composition and said fatty acid or alcohol component being present in an amount between about 70 and about 90 wt% of said binder composition.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 155 words
A detergent bar binder composition comprising the following combination of ingredients: (a) fatty acid or alcohol component having an iodine number less than about 20 and a melting point of at least about 50° C. and being selected from the group consisting of fatty acids or alcohols having from 12 to 22 carbon atoms, mono-, di- or tri-glycerides of such fatty acids, fatty acid esters of such fatty alcohols and mixtures thereof and; (b) alkyl amide represented by the formula: ##STR3## where R 1 represents a straight chain alkyl radial containing from 10 to 22 carbon atoms and R 2 represents hydrogen or an alkyl radical containing from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, said alkyl amide being present in an amount between about 2 and about 30 wt% of said binder composition and said fatty acid or alcohol component being present in an amount between about 70 and about 90 wt% of said binder composition.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 36 words
Binder composition according to claim 1 which also includes between about 5 and about 50 wt% triglyceride of animal or vegetable origin having a titer above about 50 and an iodine number less than about 20.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 39 words
A detergent bar comprising the following combination of ingredients: (a) between about 20 and about 70 wt% of the binder composition of claim 1; and (b) between about 30 and about 80 wt% anionic foaming and foam boosting detergent.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 20 words
A detergent bar according to claim 3 wherein the pH of the bar is between about 3.5 and about 7.5.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 19 words
A detergent bar according to claim 3 wherein the bar comprises between about 30 and about 60 wt% detergent.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 19 words
A detergent bar according to claim 3 which also comprises between about 1 and about 20 wt% nonionic detergent.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 50 words
A detergent bar according to claim 3 wherein the binder includes stearic acid, the bar also includes between about 1 and about 20 wt% nonionic surfactant and between about 1 and about 8 wt% glycerin and in which the pH of the bar is between about 5.0 and about 6.0.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 64 words
A detergent bar according to claim 5 which also comprises between about 0.1 and about 1.5 wt% of a cationic nitrogen-containing polymer having a molecular weight between about 2,000 and about 3,000,000 and a cationic charge density greater than 0.001 in aqueous solution, said polymer being a nitrogen substituted cellulose ether derivative formed by reacting hydroxyethylcellulose with the reaction product of epichlorohydrin and trimethylamine.
