Textile-softening detergents or cleaning agents comprising the textile-softening composition are also described.

Description

The This invention relates to a solid, fabric softening composition as well as their use and manufacture. Furthermore, the concerns Invention a detergent or cleaning agent containing the solid, fabric softening Composition contains.

By Repeated washing often causes textiles to harden and lose their weight Softness. To give textiles their softness / flexibility, to give them a pleasant fragrance and / or their anti-static To improve properties, the textiles are after the actual Washing and cleaning process treated in a subsequent rinsing process with a fabric softener.

The Most fabric softeners on the market are aqueous formulations which as the main active ingredient a cationic textile softening Compound containing one or two long-chain alkyl groups in one molecule have included. Widespread cationic textile softening Compounds include, for example, methyl N- (2-hydroxyethyl) -N, N-di (tallowacyloxyethyl) ammonium compounds, Methyl-N- (2-hydroxyethyl) -N, N-di (talgacyloxyethyl) ammonium compounds or N, N-dimethyl-N, N-di (tallowacyloxyethyl) ammonium compounds.

These usual fabric softener formulations can because of the cationic, textile softening compounds not simultaneously with the detergent or cleaning agent in the actual Washing or cleaning process used as the cationic Textile softening compounds with the anionic surfactants the washing or cleaning agent interact undesirable. Therefore is an additional flushing necessary, but it is time and energy intensive.

One Another disadvantage is that conventional softener not the deposition of limescale during the flushing on the wash prevent. additionally leave the conventional softener often unsightly Deposit in the dispenser of the washing machine.

It It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a fabric softening To provide composition that together in the main wash cycle can be used with detergents or cleaners.

These Task is solved by a solid, fabric softening composition comprising a Matrix from a compound that has a melting or softening point in the range of 45 ° C up to 225 ° C, as well as distributing therein a fabric softening compound and a Perfume.

One such softener Can during the main wash of an automatic washing or cleaning process be used. The textile-softening composition can for example, together with the detergent or cleaning agent in the drum or the dispenser be given a washing machine. This has the advantage that no additional rinse is necessary and not unsightly Deposits in the dispenser occur.

Farther It is advantageous that the textile-affine compound and the perfume already be transported directly to the laundry at the beginning of the washing process and so you can develop your full potential.

It it is preferred that the textile-affine compound of polysiloxanes, Textile softening clays, cationic polymers and blends selected from it is.

The Use of polysiloxanes and / or cationic polymers as Textile-affine compound in the textile-softening composition is advantageous because they not only have a softening effect, but also the perfume impression on the wash strengthen. The use of softening clays as a textile-affine compound in the textile-softening composition is advantageous because this in addition a water-softening Have effect and so calcium deposits on the laundry can be prevented. In order to achieve optimum performance, it may be preferred that the fabric softening composition is a combination of at least contains two textile softening compounds.

In a preferred embodiment is the compound with a melting or softening point in the range from 48 ° C up to 150 ° C from isomalt, polyalkylene glycols, polyvinyl alcohols, polyvinylpyrrolidones and Mixtures selected.

It it is preferred that the amount of perfume is 0.1 to 15% by weight, preferably 3 to 10 wt .-% and particularly preferably 5 to 8 wt .-% is.

at usual liquid Fabric softener compositions with quaternary Ammonium compounds as textile-affine compounds occurs at higher perfume concentration (> 0.4% by weight perfume in regular fabric softener compositions and> 1 wt .-% at concentrated softener compositions) Problem with the stability of the composition. In the textile-softening compositions according to the invention can easily larger quantities (≥1% by weight) to perfume be incorporated.

It It is preferred that the matrix of the solid, textile-softening Composition 40 to 99.8 wt .-%, preferably 85 to 97 wt .-%, at the junction with a melting or softening point in the range from 45 ° C up to 225 ° C contains.

Around the application and / or aesthetic properties of Textile softening composition can improve this additional Contain ingredients, preferably selected from the group consisting from dyes, perfume, fillers, Pearlescing, textile and / or skin care compounds and Mixtures thereof.

In a preferred embodiment For example, the solid textile-softening composition is in particulate form in front. It is particularly preferred that the solid textile softening Composition particle sizes in the range from 0.6 to 30 mm, in particular 0.8 to 7 mm and particularly preferred 1 to 3 mm. Solid, textile-softening composition with these particle sizes to dose yourself particularly well and accurately.

The Invention also relates to the use of a solid, Textile softening composition for conditioning textile Fabrics.

It also concerns the invention a method for producing a solid, A fabric softening composition comprising a matrix a compound having a melting or softening point in the range of 45 ° C to 225 ° C, and distributed therein a textile-affine compound and a perfume in which the matrix compound is converted into a melt, in the melt the Textile-affine compound and the perfume will be distributed and this resulting mixture below the melting or softening point of the matrix compound chilled becomes.

Further The invention relates to a washing or cleaning agent comprising a solid, Textile softening composition.

By the introduction of the textile softening invention Composition in a wash or Detergent is the consumer a softening washing or detergent ("2in1" washing or cleaning agent) to disposal and he does not need two remedies (detergents or cleansers and softener) to dose. Continue to have not the washing or cleaning agent and the textile softening Perfumed composition but only the textile-softening composition. this leads to not only at a lower cost, but also for consumers with sensitive skin and / or allergies beneficial.
