BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Prior to the present invention, water soluble polysaccharides have been used in cleaning, sanitizing, polishing, toilet preparations, and pesticide preparations; applications such as air deodorants/fresheners, rug and upholstery shampoos, insect repellent lotions, all purpose kitchen cleaner and disinfectants, toilet bowl cleaners, fabric softener-detergent combinations, fabric softeners, fabric sizing agents, dishwashing detergents, vehicle cleaners and shampoos.

Widely used commercially available polysaccharides include water soluble polysaccharide ethers such as methyl cellulose (MC), hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC), hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC), ethylhydroxyethylcellulose (EHEC), hydroxypropyl (HP) guar, hydroxyethyl guar, guar, starch, and other nonionic starch and guar derivatives. The use of these prior art polysaccharides in such products are sometimes associated with processing difficulties such as compatibility with other ingredients, solubility with certain other ingredients, solution clarity (when needed) and stability under alkaline (or acidic) conditions of the products.

US Patent numbers 5,106,609,5,104,646, and 5,100,658 are examples of patents that disclose the use of hydrophobically modifie cellulose ethers in cosmetic products. These patents disclose the use of high molecular weight (i. e., 300,000 to 700,000) and long chain alkyl carbon substitution in the hydrophobe (i. e., 8 to 24 carbons) for use in cosmetic composition. Also, US Patent numbers 4,228,277 and 4,352,916 describe hydrophobically modifie cellulose ether derivatives, modifie with long chain alkyl group substitution in the hydrophobe. US Patent number 4,845,207 discloses a hydrophobically modifie nonionic, water-soluble cellulose ether and US Patent 4,939,192 discloses the use of such ether in building compositions.

Certain of the prior art cellulose ethers have poor compatibility with salts or poor solubility in certain solvents such as polyhydric alcools used in cleaning, sanitizing, polishing, pesticide and toilet preparation applications while others are not tolerant of alkaline or acidic

conditions. Hence, a need still existes in the industry to have cellulose ethers that have good compatibility with salts, good solubility in certain solvents, and tolerance to acidic or alkaline conditions while producing products that do not have color problems, when desired.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directe to a household product (which is defined as a cleaning, sanitizing, polishing, pesticide or toilet preparation) composition comprising: (a) from about 0.1% to about 99% by weight of a vehicle system which comprises a hydrophobically modifie water soluble polysaccharide polymer which comprises a water soluble polysaccharide polymer backbone, a hydrophobic moiety selected from the group consisting of : 1) 3-alkoxy-2-hydroxypropyl group wherein the alkyl moiety is a straight or branch chain having 3-24 carbon atoms, or 2) C3-C24 alkyl, aryl alkyl, alkyl aryl groups and mixtures thereof, wherein the hydrophobic moiety is present in an amount up to the amount which renders said polysaccharide less than 1% by weight soluble in water, and (b) at least one other cleaning, sanitizing, polishing, pesticide or toilet preparation product ingredient.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION It has been surprisingly found that hydrophobically modifie polysaccharides have various advantageous properties over prior art water soluble polysaccharides in cleaning, polishing, sanitizing, pesticidal, toilet or perfume products. Any water soluble polysaccharide or derivatives can be used as the backbone to form the hydrophobically modifie polysaccharide of this invention. Thus, e. g., hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC), hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC), methylcellulose (MC), hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), ethylhydroxyethylcellulose (EHEC), and methylhydroxyethylcellulose (MHEC) and, agar, dextran, locust bean gum, starch, guar and their nonionic derivatives can all be modifie.

The amount of nonionic substituent such as methyl, hydroxyethyl, or hydroxypropyl does not appear to be critical so long as there is a sufficient amount to assure that the ether is water soluble. The polysaccharides of this invention have a sufficient degree of nonionic substitution to cause them to be water soluble and a hydrophobic moiety where selected from the group consisting of 1) 3-alkoxy-2-hydroxypropyl group wherein the alkyl moiety is a straight or

branch chain having 3-24 carbon atoms, or 2) C3-C24 alkyl, aryl alkyl, alkyl aryl groups and mixtures thereof, wherein the hydrophobic moiety is present in an amount up to the amount which renders said polysaccharide less than 1% by weight soluble in water. When the hydrophobe is an alkyl, aryl alkyl, or alkyl aryl moiety, the number of carbons can be 3-24, preferably 3-22, more preferably 4-18, and most preferably 4-16.

The preferred polysaccharide backbone is hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC). The HEC which is modifie to function in this invention is a commercially available material. Suitable commercially available materials are marketed by the Aqualon Company, a division of Hercules Incorporated, Wilmington, Delaware U. S. A., under the trademark Natrosol'.

The alkyl modifier, cationic group, anionic group and zwitterionic group can be attache to the polysaccharide backbone via an ether, ester, or urethane linkage. Ether is the preferred linkage as the reagents most commonly used to effect etherification because it is readily obtainable; the rection is similar to that commonly used for the initial etherification, and the reagents used in the rection are usually more easily handled than the reagents used for modification via the other linkages. The resulting linkage is also usually more resistant to further rections.

An example of the polysaccharide of the present invention is the 3-alkoxy-2- hydroxypropylhydroxyethylcellulose that is substantially completely soluble in water at ambient temperature.

The hydrophobic moiety is generally contained in an amount of about 0.05 to about 50 wt. %, preferably about 0.1 to about 25 wt. %, based on the dry weight of the substituted polymer. The alkyl group of the 3-alkoxy-2-hydroxypropyl group can be a straight chain alkyl group or branche alkyl group having 3 to 24 carbon atoms. Exemplary modifying radicals are propyl-, butyl-, pentyl-, 2-ethylhexyl, octyl, cetyl, octadecyl, and docosapolyenoic glycidylether.

The hydrophobically modifie polysaccharide of the present invention is an essential ingredient of the system. Another ingredient that may be in the system is a surfactant that can be either soluble or insoluble in the composition. A compatible solvent may also be used in the system that can be either a single solvent or a blend of solvents.

Examples of the surfactants are anionic, nonionic, cationic, zwitterionic, or amphoteric type of surfactants. The surfactant can be soluble or insoluble in the present invention and

(when used) is present in the composition of from 0.01 to about 50% by weight of the composition. Synthetic anionic surfactants include alkyl and alkyl ether sulfates.

Specific examples of alkyl ether sulfates which can be used in the present invention are sodium coconut alkyl trimethylene glycol ether sulfate; sodium tallow alkyl trimethylene glycol ether sulfate; and sodium tallow alkyl hexaoxyethylene sulfate. Sodium tallow alkyl diethylene glycol ether sulfate; and sodium tallow alkyl sulfate.

Nonionic surfactants, can be broadly defined as compound containing a hydrophobic moiety and a nonionic hydrophilic moiety. Examples of the hydrophobic moiety can be alkyl, alkyl aromatic, dialkyl siloxane, polyoxyalkylene, and fluoro-substituted alkyls. Examples of hydrophilic moities are polyoxyalkylenes, phosphine oxides, sulfoxides, amine oxides, and amides.

Cationic surfactants useful in vehicle systems of the compositions of the present invention, contain amino or quaternary ammonium hydrophilic moities which are positively charged when dissolve in the aqueous composition of the present invention.

Zwitterionic surfactants are exemplified by those which can be broadly described as derivative of aliphatic quaternary ammonium, phosphonium, and sulfonium compound, which can be broadly described as derivative of aliphatic quaternary ammonium, phosphonium, and sulfonium compound, in which the aliphatic radicals can be straight or branche chain, and wherein one of the aliphatic substituents contains from about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms and one contains as anionic water-solubilizing group, e. g., carboxy, sulfonate, sulfate, phosphate, or phosphonate.

Examples of amphoteric surfactants which can be used in the vehicle systems of the compositions of the present invention are those which are broadly described as derivatives of aliphatic secondary and tertiary amines in which the aliphatic radical can be straight or branche chain and wherein one of the aliphatic substituents contains from about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms and one contains an anionic water solubilizing group, e. g., carboxy, sulfonate, sulfate, phosphate, or phosphonate.

According to the present invention, the solvent used in the system should be compatible with the other components in the present composition. Examples of the solvents used in the present invention are water, water-lower alkanols mixtures, and polyhydric alcools having from 3 to 6 carbon atoms and from 2 to 6 hydroxyl groups. Preferred

solvents are water, propylene glycol, water-glycerine, sorbitol-water, and water-ethanol. The solvent (when used) in the present invention is present in the composition at a level of from 0.1 % to 99% by weight of the composition.

The active component is optional because the dissolve polymer can be the active ingredient component. An example of this is the use of the polymer in a fabric sizing spray.

However, when an active ingredient is needed, it must provide some benefit to the user.

Examples of substances that may suitably be included according to the present invention are as follows: 1) Perfumes, which give rise to an olfactory response in the form of a fragrance and deodorant perfumes which in addition to providing a fragrance response can also reduce odor ; 2) Insect repellent agent whose fonction is to keep insects from a particular area or attacking skin; 3) Bubble generating agent, such as surfactants which generates foam or lather; 4) Pet deodorizer such as pyrethrins which reduces pet odor; 5) Pet shampoo actives, whose function is to remove dirt, foreign material and germs from the skin and hair surfaces; 6) Industrial grade bar and liquid soap actives that remove germs, dirt, grease and oil from skin and sensitizes skin; 7) All purpose cleaning agents, that remove dirt, oil, grease, germs from the surface in area such as kitchens, bathroom, public facilities 8) Disinfecting ingredients that kill or prevent growth of germs in a house or public facility;

9) Rug and Upholstery cleaning actives which lift and remove dirt and foreign particles from the surfaces and also deliver softening and perfumes ; 10) Laundry softener actives which reduces static and makes fabric feel softer; 11) Laundry detergent ingredients which remove dirt, oil, grease, stains and kills germs; 12) Dishwashing detergent actives which removes stains, food, germes, 13) Toilet bowl cleaning agents which removes stains, kills germs, and deodorizes ; 14) Laundry prespotter actives which helps in removing stains from clothes; 15) Fabric sizing agent which enhances appearance of the fabric ; 16) Vehicle cleaning actives which removes dirt, grease, etc. from vehicles and equipments.

17) Lubricating agent which reduces friction between parts.

The above list is only examples and is not a complete list of active ingredients that can be used. Other ingredients that are use in these types of products are well known in the industry. In addition to the above ingredients conventionally used, the composition according to the present invention can optionally also include ingredients such as a colorant, preservative, antioxidant, activity enhancer, emulsifiers, viscositying agents (such as salts, i. e., NaCl, NH4Cl & KCI), alcohol and fats and oils.

The vehicle systems and compositions of the present invention can be made using conventional formulation and mixing techniques. Methods of making various types of compositions are described more specifically in the following examples. The following examples are merely set forth for illustrative purpose, but it to be understood that other

modifications of the present invention within the skill of artisans in the industry can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. <BR> <BR> <P>Definitions:<BR> <BR> "N'signifie tests data for the polymer of this invention, hydrophobically modifie polysaccharide such as HMHEC 1, HMHEC 2, EA4HEC 3, HA4BEC 4, NatrosolPlus 330CS, NatrosoigPlus 430CS and AQU D3441.

"B"signifies test data for other polysaccharide not covered by the invention Viscosity: All viscosity measurements are made at 25°C after two minutes of spindle rotation using Brookfield viscometer. Ultra low viscosity spindle (UL) set up available from Brookfield Viscometer Company was used for the solutions with very low viscosity.

Gel Strength: All samples brought to about 25°C prior to measuring the gel strength.

The gel strength was measured using Voland LFRA Texture Analyzer Unit. 0.5 inches ( 1. 11mm) diameter probe was used. The probe was lowered 2mm into the gel at a speed of 2mm/second. Three measurements were taken and the average was reporte. A product with higher gel strength is considered a better product. A product with more consistent gel strength value over a period of long term storage is also considered as a better product.

Syneresis: It is defined as liquid on the surface of the test sample. Product with lower syneresis is considered as a better product.

Freeze/Thaw Cycle: For each freeze/thaw cycle the sample was kept in a freezer for 24 hours @-5°C and then stored at about 25°C for 24 hours prior to measuring viscosity, syneresis, gel strength etc.

Sag Test: The sag test was run at 40°C. The sample was stored free standing (unsupported) in the sealed jar and % change in the sample height was estimated with time in reference to initial sample height. The higher the % sag value, the poorer its performance.

Example 26A Fabric Spray X32415-92A In r i nt Trade Name Weight % Phase I A Deionized water 68.35 B Modifie hydroxyethylcellulose FIMMEC 3 0.50 C Carboxymethylcellulose Aqualon#, 7LT* 1.00 Phase 11 D Deionized water 30.00 E Sodium lauryl sulfate Witcolate A 0.05 F Methyl paraben Methylparasept 0.10 Total 100.00 Procedure In Phase I, the polymers Modifie hydroxyethylcellulose (B) and carboxymethylcellulose (c) were added while mixing to the vortex of the water (A). The pH of the mixture was adjusted to 8.5, and the solution was mixed for 45 minutes until the polymers were fully dissolve. In a separate nessel, the surfactant (E) and preservative (F) were added to the water (D) of Phase 11 and mixed until these components were fully dissolve. Phase 11 solution was then added to the vortex of Phase I solution and mixed for 10 minutes or until lump free. This formulation was then packed out into containers.

Comparative Example 26B Fabric Sizing Spray X32415-92B Guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride, N-HanceX 3196, was substituted for Modifie hydroxyethylcellulose in the above formula. The same procedure was followed.

* CMC 7LT: Sodium carboxymethylcellulose, with carboxymethyl substitution of 0.65- 0.90 and 2% aqueous Brookfield viscosity @ 30rpm of 25-50 cps at 25°C.
