Abstract

The present invention relates to a textile treatment agent intended for household use which contains, in addition to at least one customary ingredient of textile treatment compositions, an insect repellent selected from 1-piperidinecarboxylic acid 2- (2-hydroxyethyl) -1-methylpropyl ester and 3- (N-butylacetamino) propionic acid ethyl ester and mixtures thereof. The invention further relates to uses of this agent and to processes for treating textile fabrics with this agent.

Description

The The invention relates to a household custom application Textile treatment agent, in addition to at least one usual Ingredient of textile treatment agents an insect repellent contains which selected is from 1-piperidinecarboxylic acid 2- (2-hydroxyethyl) -1-methylpropyl ester and 3- (N-butylacetamino) propionic acid ethyl ester as well as their mixtures.

Certain Insects, such as mosquitoes, not just a nuisance in many parts of the world for the Humans, but can as a carrier of Diseases also pose a threat to to mean him. Therefore, there has been no lack of effort, such insects from the human body keep. For this it is common, for example, the skin with insect repellent To treat funds. However, they are especially tropical and subtropical regions of the earth are also particularly aggressive species known by insects that not only exposed skin areas of the human body attack but through textiles through the carrier sting.

Around To remedy this, one has tried insect repellent sprays directly to spray on textiles. These However, the procedure involves various disadvantages. So she is not only awkward and consuming, but it is with reasonable effort almost impossible, garments complete to wet with such a spray. In addition, problems can on sensitive fabrics, especially if they are colored. This can cause stains and discoloration come.

you has therefore tried textiles already insect repellent by the manufacturer equip, by insect repellent agents in polymerizable mixtures incorporated and polymerized directly on the fiber. It is obvious that such a permanent equipment of Fiber is not only costly and expensive, but also not with every kind of fiber alike feasible is. Apart from the high prices, the consumer has only one very limited selection of such textiles available, and he does not have the opportunity To equip already existing textiles in this way later to let.

It There is thus a need for household-applicable methods, with which a consumer can equip textiles insect-repellent.

It is thus an object of the present invention, a household under usual To provide conditions applicable textile treatment agent, which textiles treated with this agent, one gives insect repellent effect.

It was now surprisingly found that certain insect repellents in household textile treatment products so formulate that the insect repellent on contact with the textiles on this and dressed up textiles insect repellent can do. This insect repellent effect is temporary in nature, so not permanent Effect. This means that, as a rule, an insect repellent according to the invention made textile loses this effect in the context of a conventional wash again. Becomes it is not in the usual way Washed way, but with an inventive, in the form of a detergent present textile treatment agent, so the insect repellent Effect to be maintained or renewed.

object The invention is therefore intended for household use Textile treatment agent, in addition to at least one usual Ingredient of textile treatment agents an insect repellent contains which is selected is from 1-piperidinecarboxylic acid 2- (2-hydroxyethyl) -1-methylpropyl ester and 3- (N-butylacet-amino) propionic acid ethyl ester and mixtures thereof.
