BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
[0002] The present invention is directed to a composition, more
specifically, to a siloxane fluid based composition, for use in dry
cleaning and to a dry cleaning process using the composition.
[0003] Current dry cleaning technology uses perchloroethylene
("PERC") or petroleum-based materials as the cleaning solvent. PERC
suffers from toxicity and odor issues. The petroleum-based products
are not as effective as PERC in cleaning garments.
[0004] Linear volatile siloxanes and cyclic siloxanes have been
reported as spot cleaning solutions, see U.S. Pat. No. 4,685,930.
Other patents disclose the use of silicone soaps in petroleum
solvents, see JP 09299687, and the use of silicone surfactants in
super critical carbon dioxide solutions has been reported, see, for
example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,676,705 and Chem. Mark. Rep., Dec. 15,
1997, 252(24), p. 15. Non-volatile silicone oils have also been
used as the cleaning solvent requiring removal by a second washing
with perfluoroalkane to remove the silicone oil, see JP
06327888.
[0005] Numerous other patents have issued in which siloxanes or
organomodified silicones have been present as addenda in PERC or
petroleum based dry cleaning solvents, see, for example, WO
9401510; U.S. Pat. No. 4,911,853; U.S. Pat. No. 4,005,231; U.S.
Pat. No. 4,065,258.

hexadecamethylheptasiloxane or methyltris (trimethylsiloxy)silane.
In a more highly preferred embodiment, the linear or branched,
volatile siloxane of the present invention comprises
octamethyltrisiloxane, decamethyltetrasiloxane, or
dodecamethylpentasiloxane or methyltris(trimethylsiloxy)silane. In
a highly preferred embodiment, the siloxane component of the
composition of the present invention consists essentially of
decamethyltetrasiloxane.
[0022] Suitable linear or branched volatile siloxanes are made by
known methods, such as, for example, hydrolysis and condensation of
one or more of tetrachlorosilane, methyltrichlorosilane,
dimethyidichlorosilane, trimethylchlorosilane, or by isolation of
the desired fraction of an equilibrate mixture of
hexamethyldisiloxane and octamethylcyclotetrasilox- ane or the like
and are commercially available.
[0023] Compounds suitable as the cyclic siloxane component of the
present invention are those containing a polysiloxane ring
structure that includes from 2 to 20 silicon atoms in the ring.
Preferably, the linear, volatile siloxanes and cyclic siloxanes are

as, for example, hydrolysis and condensation of
dimethyldichlorosilane and are commercially available.
[0028] It is believed that those cleaning compositions according to
the present invention that lack a cyclic siloxane component would
be more stable than those which include a cyclic siloxane

alkanolamides, sodium lauryl sulfonate, sodium stearate, sodium
laureth sulfate, ammonium lauryl ether sulfonate, and silicone
surfactants, such as for example, quaternary alkyl ammonium
siloxanes, carboxyalkyl siloxanes, and polyether siloxane
surfactants. In a preferred embodiment, the surfactant exhibits an
hydrophilic-lipophilic balance ("HLB") of from 3 to 14, more
preferably 5 to 11, as for example polyether siloxanes. Surfactants

for example, hydrocarbon fluids and halogenated hydrocarbon
fluids.
[0035] An article, such as for example, a textile or leather
article, typically, a garment, is dry cleaned by contacting the
article with the composition of the present invention. In a
preferred embodiment, the articles to be cleaned include textiles
made from natural fibers, such as for example, cotton, wool, linen
and hemp, from synthetic fibers, such as, for example, polyester

[0040] A first set of textile samples (2".times.2" squares of red
satin textile) were soiled with polar stains by pipetting droplets
of an 8 wt % aqueous sodium chloride solution on each of the
textile samples of the set. A second set of textile samples were
soiled with nonpolar stains by pipetting droplets of fresh motor
oil (Quaker State SAE 10W-30) on each of the textile samples of the
set. Each of the dry cleaning compositions was then placed in a 4
ounce bottle. Each of the soiled textile samples was contacted with
a respective one of the cleaning compositions by immersing the
soiled textile sample in 50 g of one of the cleaning compositions.
The textile samples and cleaning compositions were agitated by
gently shaking each of the bottles. Following agitation, each of
the textile samples was removed from the cleaning composition,
allowed to drain, blotted and then heated at .about.50.degree. C.
to dry the samples. The appearance of each of the dried textile
samples was then evaluated by visual inspection and rated on the
following scale (an average of three readings is reported):
2 Rating 5 = complete removal of stain 4 = slight stain remaining 3
= moderate stain removal 2 = slight stain removal 1 = no stain
removal

[0050] Examples 131-162 were conducted using 2".times.2" blue 60/40
cotton polyester textile swatches. The salt concentration in the
salt solution used to stain the swatches was either 20%, 8% or 7%
by weight, as noted in the TABLES X-XIV below. The testing was
conducted in the same manner as and the results ranked on the same
scale as in Examples 1-130 above. The amounts of linear or cyclic
siloxane, polyether siloxane and water used in each of Examples
131-162, as well as the type of stain and the results obtained in
each of those examples are set forth in TABLES X-XIV below.
