Abstract

Cleaning compositions that include non-alkoxylated esteramines. Related methods of preparation and use.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A cleaning composition comprising:
from about 1% to about 70%, by weight of the composition, of a surfactant system, and
from about 0.1% to about 10% of a non-alkoxylated esteramine, and/or a salt thereof, according to Empirical Formula I:
R 1 —[(CH 2 ) c —O(O)C—R 2 —(NH 2 ) a ] b   (Empirical Formula I)

wherein:
R 1 is a C 4 -C 12 alkyl,
each R 2 is independently selected from branched or unbranched C 1 -C 12 substituted alkyl;
each index a is independently selected from an integer from 0 to 4, provided that at least one index value a is non-zero;
the index b is an integer from 1 to 4; and
each index c is independently 0 or 1.

2. A cleaning composition according to claim 1 , wherein the R 1 is a C 6 -C 10 alkyl.

3. A cleaning composition according to claim 1 , wherein the R 1 is joined to the b substituent at a non-terminal carbon of R 1 .

4. A cleaning composition according to claim 1 , wherein each R 2 is independently selected from branched or unbranched C 2 -C 8 substituted alkyl.

5. A cleaning composition according to claim 1 , wherein each index a is independently selected from an integer from 0 to 3, provided that at least one index value a is non-zero.

6. A cleaning composition according to claim 1 , wherein the index b is an integer from 1 to 3.

7. A cleaning composition according to claim 1 , wherein the non-alkoxylated esteramine is in salt form and coupled with charge-balancing anion A, wherein A is an anion derived from an acid selected from the group consisting methanesulfonic acid, toluene sulfonic acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, citric acid, lactic acid, C12-C18 fatty acid, alkyl benzene sulfonic acids, alkyl sulphonic acids, alkyl sulfate acids, alkyl ethyoxysulfate acids, alkoxylated or non-alkoxylated copolymers of acrylic acid and maleic acid, and mixtures thereof.

8. A cleaning composition according to claim 1 , wherein the non-alkoxylated esteramine is selected from the group consisting of:

a non-salt form thereof, or a mixture thereof,
wherein A is a suitable charge-balancing anion.

9. A cleaning composition according to claim 1 , wherein the cleaning composition is a liquid cleaning composition.

10. A cleaning composition according to claim 1 , wherein the cleaning composition has a pH of about 7.5 or greater in a 10% dilution in deionized water.

11. A cleaning composition according to claim 1 , wherein the cleaning composition is a laundry composition.

12. A cleaning composition according to claim 1 , wherein the surfactant system comprises one or more surfactants selected from anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, non-ionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, and mixtures thereof.

13. A cleaning composition according to claim 1 , wherein the cleaning composition further comprises an adjunct cleaning additive selected from the group consisting of builders, structurants or thickeners, clay soil removal/anti-redeposition agents, polymeric soil release agents, polymeric dispersing agents, polymeric grease cleaning agents, enzymes, enzyme stabilizing systems, bleaching compounds, bleaching agents, bleach activators, bleach catalysts, brighteners, dyes, hueing agents, dye transfer inhibiting agents, chelating agents, suds supressors, softeners, perfumes, and mixtures thereof.

14. A method of pretreating or treating a soiled fabric, the method comprising the step of contacting the soiled fabric with the cleaning composition according to claim 1 , optionally wherein the soiled fabric comprises a greasy stain.
