Description

The Invention relates to the use of certain polycarbonate, polyurethane and / or polyurea-polyorganosiloxane compounds for reduction the creasing, improvement of the ironing properties and improving the elasticity of treated therewith Laundry and textile care products containing such agents contain.

The modern textile cleaning makes high demands on the to be cleaned Laundry. Such is the frequent washing of clothes in a washing machine and that yourself subsequent drying in a tumble dryer associated with a high mechanical stress on the tissue. The frictional forces often lead to damage of the textile fabric, recognizable by a lint and pilling. With every wash or dry, but also by wearing the garments finds another Abrasion and / or breakage of tiny fibers on the surface the textile surface fabric instead. The conventional ones Textile detergents are able to damage this Do not prevent tissue or just try, already existing To eliminate textile damage.

The international patent application WO 99/16956 A1 suggests the elimination of lint or pills through the use of cellulases. The cellulases break off from the textile fabrics protruding microfibers and thus ensure a smooth and therefore pill-free textile surface.

Another major disadvantage of the mechanical stress on textile fabrics is the formation of unwanted wrinkled textile surfaces from the consumer and the formation of rough surfaces. Both the rough textile surfaces as well as the resulting creasing of the fabrics lead to a significant deterioration of the sliding properties of irons or other Textilplättungsvorrichtungen. The expense of flattening rough and crumpled textiles is not only a matter of greater effort, but also of considerable additional time. In the prior art, solutions for improving the ironing properties of laundered textiles are found mainly in the field of aftertreatment agents. For example, in the international patent application WO 00/77134 discloses the use of oxidized polyolefins in softener formulations to improve ironing properties.

The use of celluloses, hydrogels and acrylic acid polymers as lint reduction components in textile treatment agents is known from the German patent application DE 102 03 192 A1 known.

Particular preference is given to C ₈ -C ₁₆ -alcohol alkoxylates, advantageously ethoxylated and / or propoxylated C ₁₀ -C ₁₅ -alcohol alkoxylates, in particular C ₁₂ -C ₁₄ -alcohol alkoxylates, having a degree of ethoxylation of between 2 and 10, preferably between 3 and 8, and / or a degree of propoxylation between 1 and 6, preferably between 1.5 and 5. The alcohol radical may preferably be linear or more preferably methyl-branched in the 2-position or contain linear and methyl-branched radicals in the mixture, as they are usually present in Oxoalkoholresten. In particular, however, alcohol ethoxylates with linear radicals of alcohols of native origin having 12 to 18 carbon atoms, for. From coconut, palm, tallow or oleyl alcohol, and on average from 2 to 8 EO per mole of alcohol. The preferred ethoxylated alcohols include, for example, C _12-14 alcohols with 3 EO or 4 EO, C _9-11 alcohols with 7 EO, C _13-15 alcohols with 3 EO, 5 EO, 7 EO or 8 EO, C _12-18 alcohols with 3 EO, 5 EO or 7 EO and mixtures of these, such as mixtures of C _12-14 -alcohol with 3 EO and C _12-18 -alcohol with 5 EO. The indicated degrees of ethoxylation and propoxylation represent statistical averages which may be an integer or a fractional number for a particular product. Preferred alcohol ethoxylates and propoxylates have a narrow homolog distribution (narrow range ethoxylates / propoxylates, NRE / NRP). In addition to these nonionic surfactants, fatty alcohols with more than 12 EO can also be used. Examples include tallow fatty alcohol with 14 EO, 25 EO, 30 EO or 40 EO.

Other suitable surfactants are so-called gemini surfactants. These are generally understood as meaning those compounds which have two hydrophilic groups and two hydrophobic groups per molecule. These groups are usually separated by a so-called "spacer". This spacer is typically a carbon chain that should be long enough for the hydrophilic groups to be spaced sufficiently apart for them to act independently of each other. Such surfactants are generally characterized by an unusually low critical micelle concentration and ability ability to greatly reduce the surface tension of the water. In exceptional cases, however, the term gemini surfactants is understood to mean not only dimeric but also trimeric surfactants.

Suitable gemini surfactants are, for example, sulfated hydroxy mixed ethers according to the German patent application DE-A-43 21 022 or dimer alcohol bis- and trimeralcohol tris-sulfates and ether sulfates according to the international patent application WO-A-96/23768 , End-capped dimeric and trimeric mixed ethers according to the German patent application DE-A-195 13 391 They are characterized by their bi- and multi-functionality. Thus, the end-capped surfactants mentioned have good wetting properties and are low foaming, so that they are particularly suitable for use in machine washing or cleaning processes.

However, it is also possible to use gemini-polyhydroxy fatty acid amides or poly-polyhydroxy fatty acid amides, as described in international patent applications WO 95/19953 . WO 95/19954 and WO 95/19955 to be discribed.

Furthermore, methods for producing water-soluble capsules of polyvinyl alcohol or gelatin are known, which in principle offer the possibility to provide capsules with a high degree of filling. The methods are based on introducing the water-soluble polymer into a shaping cavity. The filling and sealing of the capsules takes place either synchronously or in successive steps, in which case the filling of the capsules takes place through a small opening in the latter case. Processes in which the filling and sealing are parallel, for example, in the WO 97/35537 described. The filling of the capsules is carried out by a Befüllkeil, which is above two mutually rotating drums, which have ball half shells on its surface, is arranged. The drums carry polymer bands that cover the ball half-shell cavities. At the positions where the polymer band of one drum coincides with the polymer tape of the opposite drum, a seal takes place. In parallel, the filling material is injected into the forming capsule, wherein the injection pressure of the filling liquid presses the polymer bands in the Kugelhalbschalenkavitäten. A process for the preparation of water-soluble capsules, in which initially the filling and then the sealing takes place, is based on the so-called Bottle-Pack ^® method. In this case, a tubular preform is guided into a two-part cavity. The cavity is closed, the lower tube portion is sealed, then the tube is inflated to form the capsule shape in the cavity, filled and finally sealed.

The for the preparation of the water-soluble portion used shell material is preferably a water-soluble polymeric thermoplastic, more preferably selected from the group (optionally partially acetalised) polyvinyl alcohol, Polyvinyl alcohol copolymers, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyethylene oxide, Gelatin, cellulose and their derivatives, starch and their derivatives Derivatives, blends and composites, inorganic salts and mixtures the materials mentioned, preferably hydroxypropylmethylcellulose and / or polyvinyl alcohol blends.

The polyvinyl alcohols described above are commercially available, for example under the trade name Mowiol ^® (Clariant). In the present invention, particularly suitable polyvinyl alcohols are, for example, Mowiol ^® 3-83, Mowiol ^® 4-88, Mowiol ^® 5-88, Mowiol ^® 8-88 and Clariant L648.

The water-soluble thermoplastic used to prepare the portion may additionally optionally comprise polymers selected from the group comprising acrylic acid-containing polymers, polyacrylamides, oxazoline polymers, polystyrene sulfonates, polyurethanes, polyesters, polyethers and / or mixtures of the above polymers. It is preferred if the water-soluble thermoplastic used comprises a polyvinyl alcohol whose degree of hydrolysis makes up 70 to 100 mol%, preferably 80 to 90 mol%, particularly preferably 81 to 89 mol% and in particular 82 to 88 mol%.

It is further preferred if the thermoplastics are used in amounts of at least 50% by weight, preferably of at least 70% by weight, more preferably of at least 80% by weight and in particular of at least 90% by weight, based in each case on the weight the water-soluble polymeric thermoplastic. The polymeric thermoplastics may contain plasticizing aids to improve their machinability. This may be advantageous in particular if polyvinyl alcohol or partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl acetate has been chosen as the polymer material for the portion. Glycerol, triethanolamine, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, diethylene or dipropylene glycol, diethanolamine and methyldiethylamine have proved particularly suitable as plasticizing auxiliaries. It is advantageous if the polymeric thermoplastics plasticizing in amounts of at least> 0 wt .-%, preferably of ≥ 10 wt .-%, particularly preferably of ≥ 20 wt .-% and in particular of ≥ 30 wt .-%, each based on the weight of the wrapping material.
