Description

The present invention relates to aqueous, gel-like cleaning and / or Detergents that have very good solubility and high viscosity.

Highly viscous detergents and detergents have been increasing in recent years offered, such products with "gel" -like consistency a high level of acceptance at the Have consumers. This is expected from such cleaning and Detergents that they are offered in highly concentrated form so that they are in less amount compared to pre-diluted or powdered cleaning and Detergents can be dosed and that they have a certain consistency. This Consistency is equated with a high active ingredient content. This applies to everyone possible types of cleaners, such as all-purpose cleaners, dishwashing detergents, detergents, Shampoos up to cosmetic preparations.

The gel consistency of these agents is usually determined by using Thickeners, such as xanthan gum, agar agar, carrageenan, tragacanth, gum arabic, Alginates, pectins, polyoses, guar flour, locust bean gum, starch, dextrins, Gelatin, casein, carboxymethyl cellulose and the like. a. Cellulose ether, hydroxyethyl and. -propylcellulose u. Like., Kernel meal ether, polyacrylic u. Polymethacrylic compounds, Vinyl polymers, polycarboxylic acids, polyethers, polyimines, polyamides, polysilicic acids, Clay minerals such as montmorillonites, zeolites and silicas. The use of this Thickener for increasing viscosity in a wide variety of liquids has been around state of the art.  

However, the use of such thickeners of the classic type brings a number of Disadvantages with themselves. So they wear z. B. normally not for cleaning ability at. In addition, the more viscous cleaners containing these thickeners have been proven Temperatures around 20 ° C a very bad dissolving behavior. So join Adding too much thickening agent when thinning an undesirable cloudiness or clumping on.

Thickening alkylglycoside compounds for liquid detergents are known from the EP 199 765 B1 known. There are alkyl monoglycosides as viscosity regulators in Detergents described. Suitable thickeners are based on the teaching of EP 199 765 B1 for liquid detergents, alkyl monoglycosides, which may have a proportion of Alkyl polyglycoside compounds with a degree of polymerization (D.P.) of 2 or more contained in such quantities that the average degree of polymerization of all Alkyl glycoside compounds is less than 1.4. Alkyl polyglycosides with a higher Degree of polymerization as 1 and a linear alkyl chain are practical described ineffective. About the solubility properties of these compositions no further details are given.

WO 92/43527 A1 describes an aqueous, liquid detergent with a mixture Anionic and nonionic surfactant described, the proportion of the nonionic Surfactant predominates, which is characterized by alkyl polyglycosides with a linear alkyl group 8 to 12 carbon atoms and a degree of polymerization in the range of 1.35 to 2.50 can thicken. The viscosities described here are in a range of on average only about 200 to 250 m.Pas, whereby no statements about the Solubility of these detergents can be taken.

The object of the present invention is therefore aqueous, gel-like Providing detergents and / or detergents with a high viscosity have very good solubility properties and contribute to the cleaning effect.

The present invention relates to aqueous, gel-like cleaning and / or Detergent containing 5 to 20 wt .-%, based on the total composition,  a surfactant mixture comprising at least one alkyl polyglycoside compound, at least one native, nonionic surfactant, at least one petrochemical, nonionic surfactant and / or at least one anionic surfactant.

Another object of the present invention is the use of Washing and / or cleaning agents according to the invention for cleaning hard and / or softer surfaces and their use as dishwashing detergents, liquid detergents and / or all-purpose cleaner.

It was surprisingly found that the combination of Alkyl polyglycoside compounds with native and petrochemical, nonionic Surfactants and anionic surfactants enable a high viscosity to be achieved without otherwise usual cloudiness or lump formation takes place during the dilution.

As a rule, at higher surfactant concentrations, cross-spatial, ordered structures in the form of hexagonal phases, which increases the viscosity of the Surfactant solutions are increased and a gel consistency is achieved.

Without wishing to commit or limit itself to any particular theory, it seems due to the special combination of alkyl polyglycosides, native and petrochemical, nonionic and anionic surfactants Detergents and / or detergents according to the invention, the otherwise usual, by Aggregation to hexagonal phases caused clumping of such systems in the Dilution to be avoided. This leads to an even, good solubility and, as a result, an exact dosage as used for such agents in both In terms of an optimal cleaning effect as well as an aesthetic effect is desirable. This makes accurate dosing and economical use of the cleaning and / or washing agents according to the invention.

The cleaning and / or washing agents according to the invention contain this surfactant mixture according to the invention in a concentration sufficient to to achieve the desired gel consistency and viscosity.  

In a preferred embodiment, the cleaning and / or Detergent free from other thickeners and / or gel formers that are selected are from the group consisting of z. B. Xanthangum, agar-agar, carrageenan, tragacanth, Gum arabic, alginates, pectins, polyoses, guar flour, locust bean gum, Starch, dextrins, gelatin, casein, carboxymethyl cellulose and the like. a. Cellulose ether, hydroxy ethyl u. -propylcellulose u. Like., Kernel meal ether, polyacrylic u. Polymethacrylic Verbin dungen, vinyl polymers, polycarboxylic acids, polyethers, polyimines, polyamides, polysilicas acids, clay minerals such as montmorillonites, zeolites and silicas and the like.

The Tensidkom contained in the cleaning and / or washing agents according to the invention bination also allows the addition of a while increasing the viscosity considerably higher proportion of water as a solvent than z. B. in the detergents WO 92/03527 A1, at the same time adding organic solvents, such as ethanol, can be avoided.

As cleaning agents and / or detergents for the purposes of the present invention, All-purpose cleaners, dishwashing detergents and detergents, including shampoos and kosme understood table preparations.

In the context of the present invention, good solubility means that the cleaning and / or washing agents according to the invention have no or practically none have visible cloudiness and / or clumping when diluted with water.

manufacturing

The agent according to the invention can be achieved by stirring the individual components together produce in any order. The order of preparation is for the manufacture of the Not crucial.

Water, surfactants and, if appropriate, more of the foregoing are preferred mentioned ingredients stirred together. Insofar as perfume and / or dye used are then added to the solution obtained. Then the Adjust pH as previously described.

use

The possible uses of the cleaning and / or Detergents are very diverse. For example, they are suitable for hard cleaning and / or soft surfaces, such as dishes, food, textiles, fibers; Carpets, of hair, of clothing. They are suitable for Body cleaning of humans and animals as well as dishwashing detergent, as All-purpose cleaner, as a detergent, as a bathroom and / or toilet cleaner, as a floor cleaner, as car cleaner, as glass cleaner, as furniture care product, as furniture cleaner, as Facade cleaner and / or the like

The agents according to the invention are particularly suitable as general-purpose cleaners or Dishwashing detergent for cleaning hard surfaces, especially in the household area which the agent both in undiluted and diluted form on a hard Surface is applied and then the surface in the usual way is cleaned.  

The undiluted agents according to the invention work particularly well here because they are due to their gel-like consistency adhere particularly well to the surface to be cleaned and thereby allowing a longer exposure time.

In the case of less soiling, the agents according to the invention can, owing to their good solubility properties can be diluted easily, making them less heavy soiling can also be used diluted.

Also, due to their good solubility properties, they are excellent as Liquid detergent.
