Description

The present invention relates to a washing or cleaning agent for textiles, which comprises at least one surfactant and at least one amphiphilic, carboxyalkylated polyamine as Antiknitterwirkstoff and the use of amphiphilic, carboxyalkylated polyamine as Antiknitterwirkstoff for textiles.

Ironing is a very annoying task, according to consumer surveys. So far, it has not yet been possible to develop a detergent that improves the surface smoothness of clothing after washing to the extent that the ironing is unnecessary.

While in the textile equipment Antiknitterverbindungen are known, the application in the detergent is very limited. In textile finishing, however, the equipment is mainly cellulose-containing textiles during the manufacture of textile materials. The textiles treated in this way have the advantage over the untreated cellulose textiles after the washing process that they have less wrinkles and wrinkles, are easier to iron and are softer and smoother.

Compounds that are used directly in a washing or cleaning agent and there cause a surface smoothness of the textiles in the washing process, are barely known. This is due to the fact that corresponding compounds are either not incorporated into detergents or cleaners, especially if they are liquid, since it leads to instabilities of detergents or cleaning agents, or their effect in the washing process itself is lost. The object of the present invention is now to improve this secondary property in the washing process. Surprisingly, it has been found that the use of certain urethane-based polymers results in a metrologically significant improvement in the surface smoothness of textiles.

In a first subject of the invention, the object underlying the invention is achieved by a washing or cleaning agent for textiles comprising at least one surfactant and additionally at least one amphiphilic, carboxyalkylated polyamine.

An amphiphilic compound consists of a polar (hydrophilic) and an apolar (hydrophobic) moiety. It is preferred according to the invention if the hydrophilic moiety of said polyamine is represented by a carboxyalkylated polyamine moiety and the hydrophobic moiety is represented by at least one hydrocarbon moiety of at least 8 to 20 carbon atoms.

A hydrocarbon radical is a structural fragment made up exclusively of carbon and hydrogen. Unless otherwise explicitly defined, a hydrocarbon radical is unsubstituted.

For the purposes of the invention, a polymer is a substance which is composed of a large number of molecules by means of polyreaction, in which one or more types of atoms or atomic groups (so-called constitutive units, basic building blocks or repeating units) are repeatedly arranged next to one another. Such polymer molecules have a molecular weight of at least 1000 g / mol.

In a further subject of the invention, the object underlying the present invention by the use of amphiphilic, carboxyalkylated polyamines, as described in the present application, as Antiknitterwirkstoff for textiles.

In a still further aspect of the invention, the present invention relates to a process for the reduction of wrinkles in textiles during laundering, characterized in that an amphiphilic, carboxyalkylated polyamine as described in the present application, and in particular as a constituent of a washing or cleaning agent with the Brings textile in contact.

The agents according to the invention (detergents or cleaning agents) preferably come into contact with the textile during a washing or cleaning process, which comprises the fabric softening process.

The washing or cleaning agent according to the invention may be solid or liquid. In particular, it is liquid. For example, these are liquid detergents or fabric softeners. Surprisingly, it has been found that the polyamines according to the invention can be incorporated well into the liquid detergents. Corresponding liquid agents are storage stable. Flocculation or separation is not evident. At the same time, after a washing or cleaning process with the washing or cleaning agent according to the invention, there is a clearly better surface smoothness of the textiles.

In the following embodiment, the present invention is carried out by way of example in a non-limiting manner. In the context of the present invention, all previously described and also preferred embodiments or the features described in each case can also be combined individually. Moreover, in the context of the present invention, the term "comprising" also covers the alternative in which the products / methods / uses, with respect to which the term "comprising" is used, consist exclusively of the elements which subsequently exist.

Examples:

Embodiment 1: Composition of the detergent

Laundry loads of textiles (cotton fabric) were put together. Washing load 1 was washed with a reference liquid detergent (formulation 1, comparative example).

The same procedure was followed with wash load 2 and wash load 3. Washing load 2 was washed with the liquid detergent according to Formulation 1 with the addition of 0.5% of an amphiphilic, carboxymethylated polyamine from the raw material Ampholak 7CX / C (Formulation 2, according to the invention) and washing load 3 with the liquid detergent according to Formulation 1 with the addition of 0.5 % By weight of an amphiphilic, carboxymethylated polyamine from the raw material Ampholak 7TX (formulation 3, according to the invention).

These fabrics were each washed separately at 40 ° C (in the Easy Care program) in a standard washing machine from Miele. There were 5 washes done. After 3 washes, it was dried overnight.

The following table describes the three formulations. The information is given in% by weight composition Recipe 1 Formulation 2 (according to the invention) Recipe 3 (according to the invention) C _10-13 alkyl benzene sulfonic acid and fatty alcohol ether sulfate with 2 moles of ethylene oxide 5.7% 5.7% 5.7% C _13-15 alkyl ethers with 7 moles of ethylene oxide 3.3% 3.3% 3.3% Builder (citric acid and phosphonates) 0.43% 0.43% 0.43% caustic soda 0.6% 0.6% 0.6% Palm kernel oil fatty acid 0.5% 0.5% 0.5% glycerin 0.5% 0.5% 0.5% sodium chloride 1.8% 1.8% 1.8% Enzymes (protease, amylase, cellulase, lipase) 0.4% 0.4% 0.4% boric acid 0.5% 0.5% 0.5% Sodium cocoamphopolycarboxyglycinate - 0.5% - Sodium Tallowamphopolycarboxyglycinate - - 0.5 Other additives (preservative, defoamer, opt. Brightener, dye, perfume) 0.49% 0.49% 0.49 water rest rest rest

Embodiment 2: Measuring Method

The frictional resistance of the fabrics after washing was determined. This test method is used to determine the resistance that opposes a textile surface rubbing by a friction body. test conditions: sample width 100 mm sample length 250 mm Test length (friction path) 200 mm Weight of the friction body 2920 g (iron) Test speed 500 mm / min test direction horizontal

For measurement, a Zwick Z010 and a commercial iron (2920 g) were used. The Teflon friction body was centered at the end of the test sample. By starting the tensile tester, the friction body was moved to the other end of the test sample.

The distance traveled was then included in a force / length change diagram. With this method you can directly determine the surface smoothness of a textile. The less force needed to move the iron over the fabric, the smoother the surface of the fabric.

The measurement results are shown graphically and in tabular form below, where "tissue new" means the values of the textiles immediately after purchase (without a washing process). "Formulation 1" are fabrics washed by conventional means according to Formulation 1; The same applies to the measured values labeled "Formulation 2" and "Formulation 3" which were each obtained with the composition according to the invention. New fabric Recipe 1 Recipe 2 Recipe 3 Mean value [cN] 184.4 270.7 217.0 214.1

The tissues treated with the formulations according to the invention show a resistance similar to that of the unwashed tissues, whereas with conventional detergents a greater force is necessary. This indicates a high resistance, more creases and less smooth fibers of the tissues. With the amphiphilic, carboxyalkylated polyamines according to the invention, a reduced wrinkling of tissue as well as a simpler ironing is thus possible.
