Description

The The present invention relates to a dimensionally stable detergent or treatment agent portion with a mass of at least 50 g, a method of preparation this washing or treating agent portion, a kit comprising the Detergent or treating agent portion and a bag or container Process for washing and / or treating textiles in one automatic washing machine, in which the washing or treatment agent portion or the kit is used, as well as the use of the washing or Treatment agent portion or automatic dosing kit in the drum of an automatic washing machine for textiles.

washing or treatment agents are available today for the consumer in a variety of forms. In addition to powders and granules, this offer includes, for example also concentrates in the form of extruded or tabletted compositions. These solid, concentrated or condensed supply forms draw characterized by a reduced volume per metering unit and thus lower the price for Packaging and Transport. In particular, the washing or treatment tablets fulfill additionally the desire of the consumer for simplified dosage. The corresponding Agents are comprehensively described in the art. In addition to the cited However, compacted detergents or treatment agents have advantages also a number of disadvantages. In particular, tableted forms of offer are often characterized by a delayed decay due to their high compression and thus a delayed Release of their ingredients. To resolve this "conflict" between sufficient tablet hardness and short disintegration times have been numerous in the patent literature technical solutions discloses, at this point by way of example the use so said tablet disintegrant should be referenced. These decay accelerators In addition to the tablets added to the washing or treatment-active substances, wherein they usually do not have any washing or treatment-active properties themselves exhibit and increase in this way the complexity and the cost of these funds.

When Alternative to the previously described particulate or compacted washing or treatment agents have become increasingly solid in recent years or liquid Washing or treating agent described which a water-soluble or having water-dispersible packaging. Draw these funds as the tablets by a simplified dosage, since they are dosed together with the outer packaging in the washing machine can, on the other hand However, at the same time, they may also be responsible for the preparation of liquid or powdered washing or treatment agents which are better than the compactates resolution and distinguish faster effectiveness.

The The means mentioned so far have in common that the consumer Washing or treatment agent always for every wash or treatment must dose separately. The tablets, powders, granules, liquids, Gels and in individual portions repackaged solid and liquid washing or Treatment agents are in the selected wash or treatment aisle completely consumed.

In the prior art, however, medium portions are described which contain active ingredient for a variety of washing or treatment courses. In the US 2002/0132752 A1 ( Caruthers et al. ) such a means is metered by means of a dispenser by metering a defined amount of water into the dispenser filled with the agent, dissolving a part of the agent and thus producing a concentrated solution of the agent. This concentrated solution is then introduced into the cleaning device, for example the washing machine, and diluted with further water to a wash liquor which is contacted with the surfaces to be cleaned. A major disadvantage of this technique is that washing machines in which these means are to be used, must have a separate dispenser device, which is not identical to the usual in Europe Einspülkammern.

This disadvantage has the multiple-use solid detergent composition, which in the application WO 2005/077064 A2 (Ecosafe Technologies LLC) is not disclosed. This solid agent is used together with the laundry to be cleaned directly in the drum of the washing machine and releases active substance over several washes. The composition according to the invention comprises a homogeneous amount of cleaning agent, so that in each of the washes in which it is used, the same detergent composition is released.

Since all components of the detergent composition are present in a homogeneous mixture in the central portion, it is not possible with multiple-use solid detergent composition to provide ingredients in the agent, which during the manufacturing process of the central portions, the transport and storage of the portions or even in dissolving / dispersing the Portions in a wash liquor are incompatible with each other. Mutually incompatible components would be present in the homogeneous blend of this detergent composition the react and so be disabled. For example, included in the WO 2005/077064 A2 disclosed large amounts of bleach, but no enzymes which would undoubtedly not be stable in the homogeneous blending of these agents according to the invention. The possible ingredients of in the WO 2005/077064 A2 disclosed midportions are limited to gas-producing components, solubility control components, AH regulators, water softeners and optical brighteners. The use of surfactants - especially anionic surfactants - is not desirable in these agents.

Of the Present invention was based on the object, the disadvantages of known washing or treatment agents to overcome. In particular, a washing or treating agent should be provided which can be dosed more easily and which with each other incompatible Components may contain side by side in a stable form.

It It has now been found that this task can be achieved by a washing or To solve treatment agent portion for multiple application, which at least Contains 2 active substance containing phases.

basic detergent for white textiles or colored textiles are the consumer in Europe under the term Heavy duty detergent or color detergent known. basic detergent for wool are commercially available under the term wool detergent. in the Framework of these designs are meant by the term "basic detergent for sensitive Textiles "all Funds are pooled for washing and for treatment special textiles are suitable. Examples of appropriate base detergents are mild detergents, curtain detergents, detergents for black Textiles, detergents for white Textiles, which are not brought in contact with heavy-duty detergents should be, detergent for synthetic textiles etc.

The Solubility / dispersibility the active substance containing phases is determined by defining a specimen Mass from the respective phase of a washing or treatment agent portion knocked out or a sample portion the respective phase by pressing or pouring the appropriate composition is made in a small mold and these respective samples a standardized solubility test be subjected. For this purpose, a defined amount of city water is the indicated water hardness and given temperature in a beaker and by means of a laboratory stirrer with agitator blades in motion held. The above samples of defined amount are in The water is metered in and it is stirred for 300 seconds. Subsequently, will the solution through a sieve (mesh size 200 μm) be poured, beaker and stirring pad with as possible little cold water over rinsed out of the sieve, the sieve in the drying oven at 40 ° C dried to constant weight and by differential weighing the determined on the screen residue. The amount of dissolved / dispersed active substance-containing phase is calculated from the difference of the used Sample amount and the residue. It at least one double determination is carried out.

Among the ingredients of the water that interfere with the washing process are the elements calcium and magnesium. These alkaline earths determine the quality of the water for cleaning purposes. Calcium and magnesium ions form sparingly soluble salts with soap, the lime soap and magnesium soap. It is also possible with other anionic surfactants to form sparingly soluble compounds. Furthermore, sparingly soluble alkaline earth metal carbonates can deposit on the laundry and the heating rods of the washing machines. When washing alkaline earth ions are therefore generally undesirable. The sum of alkaline earths is recorded in terms of water hardness (total hardness). It is called water with a high content of calcium and magnesium ions as hard, such low content as soft. The figures are determined in terms of degrees of hardness. In the context of this text, the hardness of the water used is given in the unit German degree of hardness (° d) in use in Germany. In water of 1 ° d are 0.178 mmol / l Ca ²⁺ and Mg ²⁺ ions or water, which contains 1 mmol / l Ca ²⁺ and Mg ²⁺ ions, has a water hardness of 5.6 ° d , Also a disturbing effect when washing show iron and iron ions, which occur in low concentration in drinking and surface water. They form sparingly soluble salts in aqueous solution which can be identified by their yellow to brown color. Preferably, the content of these Salts in the city water used for the solubility test below 0.01 mg / 100 ml, in particular below 0.005 mg / 100 ml.

In a preferred embodiment have the first and the second active substance-containing phase comparable Dissolving / dispersing on. In this way, the active substances of the two phases in the same cycle of the washing or Behandlungsganges, so preferably either released during the wash or treatment cycle or in the rinse cycle.

in the The scope of the present text is under the term wash each washing program adjustable with an automatic washing machine such as cooking linen, coloreds, delicates, hand wash, wool washing program understood at different temperatures. The term Treatment course summarizes those programs of an automatic washing machine, their main focus is not on the cleaning of textiles, but their equipment and Treatment is. examples for treatment programs are strengths, Do the washing up, To dye, Soaking, etc .. Washing or treatment courses each include the or the actual washing or treatment cycles and rinsing cycles.

example a washing or Treatment agent portion in which the first and the second active substance-containing Phase comparable dissolving / dispersing properties is a portion which in the first active-containing Phase a basic detergent for white and / or colorful textiles, delicate textiles and / or wool includes and which additionally has a second active substance-containing phase, which is preferably in the form of a cone from the middle of the washing or treating agent portion to the surface extends and an additional component for a washing or treating agent, preferably a bleaching, enzyme or finishing component for textiles includes and vice versa. Also preferred is a wash or Treatment agent portion, in the first phase containing active substance an enzyme-containing but substantially bleach-free composition and which additionally contains a second active substance-containing phase in which a substantially enzyme-free bleaching composition is contained or the other way around. Also preferred is a washing or treating agent portion, which within the first active-substance-containing phase a base detergent, in a second active substance-containing phase, which is preferably in the form of a cone from the middle of the washing or treating agent portion to the surface extends, a bleaching composition and in a third phase, which also extends with preference radially in the portion, a Contains enzyme composition.

One Advantage of these embodiments is the possibility unbreakable for separation Ingredients that should be released at the same time, for example the separation of bleach and enzyme or even bleach and color and / or Fragrances and other sensitive components.

At It should be noted that a washing or treatment agent portion also several first active substance-containing Phases of substantially identical composition and / or more second active agent-containing phases of substantially identical composition and / or third, fourth, fifth etc. may include active ingredient-containing phases.

In another preferred embodiment the first and the second active substance-containing phase have different, in extreme cases opposite loosening / dispersing properties, allowing the first active-containing phase in the wash or treatment cycle dissolved / dispersed, while the second active ingredient-containing phase liberates active substance in the rinse cycle or the other way around.

An example of a corresponding washing or treating agent portion according to the invention is a portion which comprises in the first phase containing active substance a base detergent for white and / or colored textiles, delicate textiles and / or wool and which additionally in a second active substance-containing phase, which preferably takes the form of a Kegels extends from the center of the detergent or treating agent portion to the surface and an equipment component, preferably a plasticizer compound, soil repellent polymers, repellents or impregnating agents, antistatic agents, optical brighteners, compounds which an improvement in the water absorbency, the rewettability of the treated textiles and the ease of ironing the treated textiles, and / or perfumes.

Another preferred object of the present invention is a dimensionally stable, one-piece washing or treatment agent portion containing at least 2 active ingredient Contains phases, which is at least one component and / or concentration at least one ingredient and / or in the color and / or in the consistency of each other and preferably both are in contact with the environment, with the first active-containing Phase a base detergent or an additive component for a base detergent, preferably an enzyme, bleach and / or machine care component contains and the second active-containing phase is an equipment component for textiles, preferably a softening compound, soil repellent polymers, Phobic or impregnating agent, Antistatic agents, optical brighteners and / or fragrances.

At the commercially available Washing or treating agents in the form of powders, granules or Tablets become the requirement of rapid solubility / dispersibility or rapid decay. The active substances of these agents should as possible at the beginning of the wash or treatment cycle, for which they were individually dosed, are available. For tablets is a rapid decay, for example, by the addition of so-called Tablet disintegrant achieved. An opposite task in the washing or treatment agent portions: These should only be so slow dissolve / disperse that only the required amount of active substance released per wash or treatment cycle becomes. The amount dissolved / dispersed per wash or treatment cycle agent according to the invention should be possible be constant. In addition, it is desirable that the active substances are released only in the cycles in which this really needed become. For example, it is desired to use a basic detergent only in the washing cycles but not in the rinsing cycles of a wash program release.

A preferred erfindungsgmäße washing or Treatment agent portion sets in an automatic washing machine for textiles substantially constant amount of the first active-containing phase and the second phase containing active substance, preferably per wash or treatment course between 20 and 200 g, preferably between 22.5 and 190 g, more preferably between 25 and 180 g, with preference to between 27.5 and 160 g, most preferably between 30 and 150 g and especially between 32.5 and 140 g of the first active substance-containing phase and between 2 and 100 g, preferably between 4 and 80 g, more preferably between 6 and 70 g, with preference to between 8 and 60 g, most preferably between 10 and 50 g and in particular between 12 and 40 g of the second active substance-containing Phase over several, preferably 2 to 60 washing or treatment courses free.

Especially for washing or treatment courses, in which heated Water is used, it is advantageous if the washing or Treatment agent portion a significantly temperature-dependent solubility / dispersibility so that in the heated with Water performed Washing or treatment cycles a sufficient amount of active is released in the rinsing cycles performed with cold water however possible little active ingredient dissolved / dispersed becomes.

Either one compared to the washing or treating agents which must be metered separately per wash, reduced solubility / dispersibility, as well as a strong temperature-dependent solubility dispersibility can in the washing or treatment agent portions of the invention be achieved by the first and / or the second active substance-containing Phase is made up with a system for controlling the solubility. The system for controlling the solubility the first and / or second active substance-containing phase is based to the respective phase preferably in an amount of at least 5 wt .-%, preferably of at least 10 wt .-%, particularly preferably of at least 15% by weight, most preferably in an amount from 20 to 65 wt .-% and in particular in an amount of 25 to Contain 60 wt .-%.

Especially the preparation of inventive washing or treatment agent portions with a solubility control system which has a significant increased Solubility / dispersibility the respective active substance-containing phase with increasing temperature makes it possible significant amounts of surfactant and other ingredients of washing or Treatment agents, which after the washing or treatment course in the automatic washing machine do not remain in the textiles should incorporate into the washing or treatment agent portions. Known washing portions for use in several washes, however dissolve in cold and warm water to a comparable extent, so that the dissolved active substances also in the rinsing cycle solved and remain on the textiles. For consumers with sensitive Skin can the washing or treatment-active substances remaining on the textiles Components or their derivatives lead to skin irritation. moreover are the residues on The textiles are often visible as gray streaks. But it becomes a system for controlling the solubility used, solve itself / disperse from the washing or treatment agent portion in rinse a wash or a treatment cycle maximum small amounts of the agent, which with the rinse water almost complete, preferably completely be removed from the textiles. In this way, the washing or treatment agent portion according to the invention or their phases also significant amounts of surfactant and / or other components which should not remain in the textiles, include, without the consumer having skin irritation or streaks and residues the cleaned laundry must suffer.

in principle can all Compounds which have a suitable solubility / dispersion profile, be contained in the system for controlling the solubility. Especially Compounds from the group of polymers which are also suitable in Combination can be used together.

The Water of PVAL can be obtained by post-treatment with aldehydes (acetalization) or Ketones (ketalization) changed become. Being particularly preferred and pronounced because of it good cold water solubility Polyvinyl alcohols have proven particularly advantageous in this case, those with the aldehyde or keto groups of saccharides or polysaccharides or mixtures thereof are acetalated or ketalized. As extremely beneficial to use are the reaction products of PVAL and starch.

Polyvinylpyrrolidones, referred to as PVP for short, can be described by the following general formula:

PVP are prepared by radical polymerization of 1-vinylpyrrolidone. Commercial PVP have molecular weights in the range of about 2,500 to 750,000 g / mol and are as white, hygroscopic powder or as aqueous solutions offered.

Polyethylene oxides, PEOX for short, are polyalkylene glycols of the general formula H- [O-CH ₂ -CH ₂ ] _n -OH the technically by alkaline-catalyzed polyaddition of ethylene oxide (oxirane) in mostly small amounts of water-containing systems are prepared with ethylene glycol as the starting molecule. They have molar masses in the range of about 200 to 5,000,000 g / mol, corresponding to degrees of polymerization n of about 5 to> 100,000.

The amino acid composition The gelatin largely corresponds to that of the collagen from which they are made and varies depending on its provenance. The Use of gelatin as water-soluble coating material is in particular in pharmacy in the form of hard or soft gelatin capsules extremely far common. In the form of slides, gelatin is because of their compared to the above-mentioned polymers of high price only small Use.

Prefers as a component of the solubility control system are materials, which is a polymer from the group starch and starch derivatives, cellulose and Cellulose derivatives, in particular methylcellulose and mixtures thereof include.

Starch is a homoglycan, wherein the glucose units are linked α-glycosidically.

In addition to pure starch, starch derivatives which are obtainable from starch by polymer-analogous reactions are also suitable. Such chemically modified starches include, for example, products of esterifications or etherifications in which hydroxy hydrogen atoms have been substituted. But even starches in which the hydroxy groups have been replaced by functional groups that are not bound by an oxygen atom, can be used as starch derivatives. The group of starch derivatives includes, for example, alkali starches, carboxymethyl starch (CMS), starch esters and ethers, and amino starches.

Pure cellulose has the formal gross composition (C ₆ H ₁₀ O ₅ ) _n and is formally a β-1,4-polyacetal of cellobiose, which in turn is composed of two molecules of glucose.

Farther suitable as a component of the solubility control system are fusible substances from the group of fats and / or triglycerides and / or fatty acids and / or fatty alcohols and / or waxes and / or paraffins.

Fat (s) or triglyceride (e) is the name for compounds of glycerol, in which the three hydroxy groups of glycerol esterified by carboxylic acids are. The course Fats occurring are triglycerides, which are usually different fatty acids in the same glycerol molecule included. By Saponification of the fats and subsequent esterification or reaction with acyl chlorides, however, are also synthetic triglycerides, in which only one fatty acid is bound, accessible (e.g., tripalmitin, triolein or tristearin). Natural and / or synthetic fats and / or mixtures of the two are as a component the system for controlling the solubility prefers.

When fatty acids are in the present application aliphatic saturated or unsaturated, carboxylic acids with branched or unbranched carbon chain called. For the production of fatty acids exist a variety of manufacturing methods. While the lower fatty acids mostly on oxidative processes starting from alcohols and / or aldehydes and aliphatic or acyclic hydrocarbons, are the higher ones For the most part, homologs are still most easily saponified today naturally Fats accessible. Due to advances in the field of transgenic plants are now almost unlimited possibilities to the variation of the fatty acid spectrum in the storage fats of oil plants given. Preferred fatty acids have a melting point in the context of the present invention, which allows processing of these fats in a casting process. Have along fatty acids proved to be particularly advantageous, the one melting point above 25 ° C have. Preferred components of the solubility control system are therefore capric acid and / or undecanoic and / or lauric acid and / or tridecanoic and / or myristic acid and / or pentadecanoic and / or palmitic acid and / or margaric and / or stearic acid and / or nonadecanoic and / or arachidic acid and / or erucic and / or elaeosteraric acid. But also fatty acids with a melting point below 25 ° C can be used.

The fatty alcohols can be in dependence saturated by the manufacturing process or unsaturated be. Myristyl alcohol and / or 1-pentadecanol and / or cetyl alcohol and / or 1-Heptadecanl and / or stearyl alcohol and / or erucyl alcohol and / or 1-nonadecanol and / or Arachidyl alcohol and / or 1-Heneicosanol and / or behenyl alcohol and / or Erucyl alcohol and / or brassidyl alcohol are preferred ingredients the system for controlling the solubility.

It has also proved to be advantageous when the system for Control of solubility in the washing or treatment agent portions contains waxes. Show preferred waxes while a melting range of between about 35 ° C and about 75 ° C is. This means in the present case, that the melting range is within the specified Temperature interval occurs and does not denote the width of the Melting range. Waxes with such a melting range are for one dimensionally stable at room temperature, but melt in for automatic Washing machines typical temperatures of 30 ° C to 90 ° C and are therefore in these Temperatures more easily water-dispersible.

Under "waxing" becomes a series of natural or artificially obtained substances which melt usually above 40 ° C without decomposition and are already slightly above the melting point relatively low viscosity and not stringy. They have a strong temperature-dependent consistency and solubility.

To According to their origin, the waxes are divided into three groups, the natural ones Waxes, chemically modified waxes and the synthetic waxes.

These are described below.

To the builders counting in particular the zeolites, silicates, carbonates, organic cobuilders and where no ecological Prejudices against their use exist - also the phosphates.

Preference is given to using crystalline layer-form silicates of the general formula NaMSi _x O _{2x + 1} .yH ₂ OH ₂ O, in which M is sodium or hydrogen, x is a number from 1.9 to 22, preferably from 1.9 to 4, where especially preferred values for x are 2, 3 or 4, and y is a number from 0 to 33, preferably from 0 to 20.

When Perfume oils or Fragrances can in the context of the present invention, individual fragrance compounds, e.g. the synthetic products of the ester, ether, aldehyde, Ketones, alcohols and hydrocarbons are used. Prefers However, mixtures of different fragrances are used, the together create an appealing scent. Such perfume oils can also natural Contain fragrance mixtures, as they are accessible from plant sources, e.g. Pine, citrus, jasmine, patchouly, rose or ylang-ylang oil.

Around to be perceptible, a fragrance must be volatile, being next to the Nature of the functional groups and the structure of the chemical Compound also plays a role in the molecular weight. So own most fragrances have molecular weights up to about 200 daltons, while molar masses from 300 daltons and above rather an exception. Due to the different volatility changed by fragrances the smell of a compound of several fragrances perfumes or perfume during vaporizing, whereby the odor impressions in "top note", "middle note" body) and "base note" (end note or dry divided out). Because the smell perception to a large extent too on the smell intensity is based, the top note of a perfume or fragrance is not alone volatile Connections while the base note for the most part from less volatile, i.e. adherent fragrances. When composing perfumes can be easier volatile For example, fragrances can be bound to specific fixatives. which prevents it from evaporating too quickly. At the following Classification of the fragrances in "lighter volatile or "adherent" fragrances So over the sense of smell and whether the corresponding perfume perceived as a head or middle note nothing is said.

The Fragrances can can be processed directly, but it can also be beneficial to the Fragrances on carrier The slow release of fragrance for long-lasting Provide scent. As such carrier materials For example, cyclodextrins have proven useful, with the cyclodextrin-perfume complexes additionally can still be coated with other excipients.

When choosing the colorant, it must be taken into account that the colorants have a high storage stability bilitäts and insensitivity to light and not too strong affinity to textile surfaces and in particular to synthetic fibers have. At the same time, it should also be taken into account when choosing suitable colorants that colorants have different stabilities to the oxidation. In general, water-insoluble colorants are more stable to oxidation than water-soluble colorants. Depending on the solubility and thus also on the sensitivity to oxidation, the concentration of the colorant in the washing or treating agents varies. In the case of readily water-soluble colorants, colorant concentrations in the range of a few 10 ^-2 to 10 ^-3 % by weight are typically selected. On the other hand, in the case of the pigment dyes preferred in particular but less readily water-soluble on account of their brilliance, the suitable concentration of the colorant in detergents or treatment agents is typically about 10 ^-3 to 10 ^-4 % by weight.

It become colorants preferably, which can be oxidatively destroyed in the washing process and mixtures thereof with suitable blue dyes, so-called blue toners. It has proven to be advantageous to use colorants which in Water or at room temperature in liquid organic substances soluble are. Suitable examples are anionic colorants, for example anionic Nitroso.

A further field of application of repellents and impregnating agents is the water-repellent finish of textiles, in which, in contrast to waterproofing, the fabric pores are not closed, thus the fabric remains breathable (hydrophobing). The hydrophobizing agents used for hydrophobizing coat the textiles with a very thin layer of hydrophobic groups, such as longer alkyl chains or siloxane groups. Suitable water repellents are, for example, paraffins, waxes, metal soaps, etc. with additions of aluminum or zirconium salts, quaternary ammonium compounds with long-chain alkyl radicals, urea derivatives, fatty acid-modified melamine resins, chromium complex salts, silicones, tin-organic compounds and glutaric dialdehyde and perfluorinated compounds. The hydrophobized materials do not feel greasy; nevertheless, similar to greasy substances, water droplets emit from them without moistening. For example, silicone-impregnated textiles have a soft feel and are water and dirt repellent; Stains from ink, wine, fruit juices and the like are easier to remove.

One increased Comfort can come from the extra Use of antistatics will result. Antistatic agents increase the Surface conductivity and enable thus an improved drainage educated Charges. External antistatic agents are usually substances with at least one hydrophilic molecule ligand and give on the surfaces a more or less hygroscopic film. These mostly surface-active Antistatic agents can be converted into nitrogen-containing (amines, amides, quaternary ammonium compounds), phosphorus-containing (phosphoric acid ester) and sulfur-containing (alkyl sulfonates, alkyl sulfates) antistatic agents. Lauryl (or stearyl) dimethylbenzylammonium chlorides are suitable also as antistatics for Textiles or as an additive to detergents or treatment agents, wherein in addition Avivageeffekt is achieved.

to Improvement of water absorbency, rewettability treated textiles and to facilitate the ironing of the treated Textiles can Silicone derivatives are used. These additionally improve that rinse behavior of detergents or treating agents by their foam-inhibiting Properties. Preferred silicone derivatives are, for example, polydialkyl or alkylaryl siloxanes in which the alkyl groups have one to five carbon atoms and are completely or partially fluorinated.
