Definitions
- This invention relates to lavatory cleansing compositions and particularly concerns solid lavatory cleansing compositions either intended to be positioned in a toilet bowl or urinal in such a manner that the composition is rinsed with water on flushing (toilet rim blocks or toilet rinse blocks) or intended to be positioned in a toilet or urinal cistern, immersed in flush water (in-cistern blocks).
- Solid lavatory cleansing compositions are well known. See, for example, EP0167210, EP0350227, EP0462643, EP0526437, WO95/25162 and US4666671, for a discussion of solid compositions intended for use in toilet bowls, ie toilet rim blocks or toilet rinse blocks.
- GB 2290300 discloses toilet rim blocks comprising polyvinyl alcohol or partially hydrolysed polyvinyl acetate with fragrance material that may include a small amount of beta phenyl ethyl alcohol, at a level of 0.47% by weight.
- a solid lavatory cleansing composition comprising phenyl ethyl alcohol (PEA) in an amount of at least 2.5% by weight of the total weight of the composition.
- PEA phenyl ethyl alcohol
- PEA is a known fragrance material and acts to impart desirable fragrance properties to the composition. PEA also has antibacterial properties, so this material also acts to impart antibacterial properties to the composition.
- the composition may be otherwise of generally conventional formulation.
- the composition desirably comprises surfactant, preferably anionic surfactant, for cleaning purposes.
- Surfactant is suitably present in an amount in the range 25 to 75% by weight, conveniently 25 to 50% by weight, preferably 30 to 40% by weight of the total weight of the composition.
- Anionic surfactants which can be used in the present invention include for example the alkali metal alkyl substituted benzene sulphonates, alkali metal long chain alkyl sulphates, alkali metal ether sulphates derived from long chain alcohols and alkyl phenols, alkali metal alkane sulphonates, alkali metal olefin sulphonates and alkali metal sulphosuccinates, of which the sodium salts are preferably used.
- Preferred anionic surfactants are sodium C 9 -C, 4 alkyl benzene sulphonates, sodium C ⁇ -C 2 o olefm sulphonates, sodium C,,-C 2 o alkane sulphonates and sodium long chain C 10 -C, 4 alkyl sulphates or mixtures thereof, sodium alkyl benzene sulphonates being particularly preferred as the main surfactant component.
- nonionic surfactants including ethoxylated nonionic compounds, fatty acid alkanolamides and amine oxides
- surfactants may be incorporated as desired, but only in amounts not exceeding 20% by weight, preferably less than 10% by weight, since they could otherwise tend to affect the foaming properties and rate of wear of the composition.
- the composition desirably also includes a filler, which is suitably present in an amount in the range 20 to 75 % by weight, preferably 40 to 65 % by weight, more preferably 50 to 60% by weight of the total weight of the composition.
- the filler can be an electrolyte, such as sodium sulphate, sodium chloride, sodium carbonate and phosphates, such as sodium triphosphate, hexametaphosphate, pyrophosphate and orthophosphate; or and inert material, such as calcite, clay and urea.
- electrolyte such as sodium sulphate, sodium chloride, sodium carbonate and phosphates, such as sodium triphosphate, hexametaphosphate, pyrophosphate and orthophosphate
- inert material such as calcite, clay and urea.
- a mixture of filler materials may be used.
- Fragrance comprising PEA possibly in combination with other fragrance materials, is typically present in an amount in the range 5 to 20% by weight, eg about 10% of the total weight of the composition.
- the fragrance preferably comprises at least 50% by weight of the weight of the fragrance, corresponding to PEA levels in the composition of at least 2.5 % to at least 10% by weight of the total weight of the composition.
- the composition may additionally include a solubility control agent to reduce solubility of the composition and so extend the life of the composition in use.
- Suitably solubility control agents include natural polysaccharide gums such as guar gum, xanthan gum, tragacanth, carragheenan, etc and their semi-synthetic analogues as produced by fermentation.
- solubility control agents may additionally or alternatively be used, including waxes, such as waxes of natural origin, polyethylene waxes an amide waxes; long chain (eg. containing more than 10 carbon atoms) fatty alcohols such as stearyl or behenyl alcohol; long chain, (eg.
- fatty acids such as stearic acid, and their salts
- esters of long chain fatty alcohols with aliphatic carboxylic acids such as stearyl acetate
- esters of long chain fatty acids with mono or polyhydric alcohols such as ethyl stearate or giycerol tristerate or mono-, di- or tri- glycerides of natural origin
- fatty acid mono- or di- alkanolamides such as coconut monoethanolamide
- paradichlorobenzene or long chain aliphatic hydrocarbons of natural of synthetic origin.
- Preferred solubility control agents are generally insoluble fragrance materials, particularly pine oil, which function both as fragrances and solubility control agents.
- Solubility control agent if present, is suitably used in an amount in the range 1 to 10% by weight, preferably 2 to 5% by weight of the total weight of the composition. Suitable levels depending on factors including composition ingredients and intended block life, and can be readily determined by experiment. Use of solubility control agent such as pine oil may enable PEA to be used at lower levels than would otherwise be the case without compromising performance.
- composition may optionally also contain non-surfactant nonionic polymeric materials, such as polyethylene glycols and minor ingredients, such as dyes, germicides, fungicides, bleaches, opacifiers and the like as desired.
- non-surfactant nonionic polymeric materials such as polyethylene glycols and minor ingredients, such as dyes, germicides, fungicides, bleaches, opacifiers and the like as desired.
- non-surfactant nonionic polymeric materials such as polyethylene glycols and minor ingredients, such as dyes, germicides, fungicides, bleaches, opacifiers and the like as desired.
- in-cistem products typically include dye to colour the flush water, but this is not essential.
- the composition is conveniently in the form of a block, which suitably has a weight in the range 20 to 150 grams, preferably in the range 50 to 80 grams.
- the block may be of any suitable desired shape and size for positioning in a toilet bowl or urinal for a rim block or for location in a cistern for an in-cistern block.
- composition may be conveniently formed into blocks by mixing the ingredients to form a dough, extruding the dough and cutting the extruded dough, eg as described in EP 0167210.
- the composition is typically placed in or on a suitable container of holder designed to be suspended from the rim of a toilet bowl or urinal, to hang within the bowl or urinal just below the rim in a position for the composition to be rinsed with flush water on flushing of the toilet.
- the container or holder is conveniently of plastics material and usually has apertured walls to enable flush water to contact and flow past the composition.
- the invention provides a container or holder having located therein or thereon a solid lavatory cleansing composition in accordance with the invention.
- An in-cistern block is used by simply being p ⁇ - ced in a cistem immersed in the cistern water. No container or holder is used, although for handling/aesthetic purposes the block is usually wrapped in water-soluble film.
- a solid lavatory cleansing composition intended for use as a rim block has the following formulation.
- the ingredients are mixed to form a dough which is extruded and cut into lengths to form blocks having a weight of about 50 grams, as described in EP 0167210.
- the blocks are located in apertured plastics holders and in use are hung from the rim of a toilet bowl to be rinsed by flush water on flushing.
- the blocks have good cleansing properties, with the PEA acting as a fragrance and also as an antibacterial agent.
- a solid lavatory cleansing composition intended for use as an in-cistern product was made by the method described in Example 1.
- the composition has the following formulation:
- Blocks of the composition of desired size and shape are wrapped in water-soluble film.
- a wrapped block is located in a toilet cistern, immersed in the cistern water.
- the blocks have good cleansing properties, with PEA acting as a fragrance and also as an antibacterial agent.
- a series of blocks of lavatory cleansing compositions were prepared as described in Example 1, but incorporating varying amounts of fragrance (50% PEA) and hence varying amounts of PEA.
- test protocol was as follows:
- Horse serum (Oxoid, sterile) 2 parts
- a blank test was also performed, using sterile distilled water in place of sample solution, to determine the number of cfu/mL added to the sample solutions.
- Test Block 1 (0% PEA)
- Test Block 2 (3.60% PEA)
