Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a particulate composition, wherein at least a part of the particles forming said composition comprises both (i) an aminopolycarboxylate chelating compound A and (ii) (a) a further aminopolycarboxylate chelating compound B, which has a chemical structure different from the chelating compound A, or (b) a mixture of said aminopolycarboxylate chelating compound B and a silicate having a defined structure.
  • phosphates like for example sodium tripolyphosphate and tetrasodium pyrophoshate have been used for reducing staining and/or scale deposition resulting from hard water. Due to environmental reasons, in particular concerns of eutrophication, however, these sequestrants/builders are no longer permitted in many countries. Accordingly, attempts have been made to replace phosphates by other sequestrants and/or builders, such as for example ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA). EDTA, however, is not biodegradable, while NTA is suspected of causing cancer. For this reason, efforts have been made to provide further chelating agents having a chelating power comparable to EDTA or NTA without having their toxicological or environmental drawbacks.
  • EDTA ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid
  • NTA nitrilotriacetic acid
  • Glutamic acid- N,N -diacetic acid for example, is a strong chelating agent, its chelating power being comparable to EDTA and NTA, while - in contrast to the latter - not being considered carcinogenic.
  • GLDA is biodegradable and can be produced from a natural sustainable source.
  • a drawback of GLDA on the other hand is the fact that GLDA as well as its alkali metal and ammonium salts are considerably hygroscopic, which complicates their use particularly in solid cleaning and detergent compositions, such as for example compositions for laundry or automatic dishwashing.
  • Especially particulate hygroscopic compositions may absorb a large amount of water from the atmosphere, thus leading to caking of said particles during manufacturing, packing, storage and/or dosing by the user.
  • handling hygroscopic substances it is rather difficult to ensure a constant water level in the final product.
  • a powder or granulate mainly consisting of the hygroscopic substance
  • a non-hygroscopic substance thus impeding the uptake of water by the (now coated) hygroscopic substance.
  • This approach solves the problem associated with hygroscopicity, however, coating is an expensive process, and thus production costs significantly rise.
  • a solid particulate composition comprising a rather high amount of one or more aminopolycarboxylate chelating compounds would be desirable i.e comprising a high amount of ingredients having a complexing ability for divalent cations, wherein the aminopolycarboxylate chelating compound(s) is/are formulated in such a way, that the particulate composition has a relative slow moisture uptake or a relative low maximum moisture uptake or both during packing, storage and/or dosing in order to avoid caking of the particulate substance and ensure the flowability of the particulate substance over a long time.
  • the maximum moisture uptake of a particulate composition of the present invention should not exceed 80 wt.-% at 37 ⁇ 1 °C and 75 ⁇ 2 % relative humidity, based on a particulate composition having an initial water content of composition preferably should be below 12 % (w/w) per hour at 37 ⁇ 1 °C and 75 ⁇ 2 % relative humidity.
  • a relative slow moisture uptake is defined as being below 12 % (w/w) per 1 hour at 37 +/- 1 °C and 75 +/- 2 % relative humidity.
  • a relative low maximum moisture uptake is defined as being a maximum uptake 80% (w/w) at 37 +/- 1 °C and 75 +/- 2 % relative humidity.
  • the present invention provides a particulate composition wherein at least a part of the particles present in said composition comprises
  • a high amount of even a hygroscopic aminopolycarboxylate A can be incorporated into a stable, i.e. essentially low-hygroscopic, particulate composition, if said aminopolycarboxylate A is provided as a co-granulate comprising an appropriate amount of a aminopolycarboxylate B or a mixture of said aminopolycarboxylate B and silicate.
  • the percentage of aminopolycarboxylate A in the co-granulate is at least 5% (w/w).
  • the percentage of said co-granulate in the particulate composition is at least 20%, based on the whole particulate composition.
  • the amounts of aminopolycarboxylate B or the mixture of silicate and aminopolycarboxylate B in the co granulate containing aminopolycarboxylate A do affect the maximum moisture uptake and/or the speed of moisture uptake of the co-granulate. Optimizing the composition of the co granulate results in a co-granulate with a rather low hygroscopic character that can be blended in a stable, particulate composition without facing significant problems due to the hygroscopic properties of aminopolycarboxylate A.
  • composition of the present invention has slow moisture uptake and/or a rather low maximum moisture uptake.
  • compound A but also compound B and the silicate which are added for controlling the moisture uptake of the composition, possess chelating ability.

  • Anti corrosion agents which often are used in detergent compositions or which are described in literature include, but are not limited to, triazole-based compounds (like tolyltriazole and 1,2,3-benzotriazole), polymers with an affinity to attach to glass surfaces, strong oxidizers (like permanganate), cystine (as silver-protector), silicates, organic or inorganic metal salts, or metal salts of biopolymers.
