Description

The present invention relates to a solid, particulate composition comprising at least one water-soluble carrier polymer, at least one perfume and at least one compound having an HLB value of ≥ 7. The invention further relates to a washing or cleaning composition containing the solid composition. Moreover, the present invention also relates to the use of such a washing or cleaning agent for cleaning textiles or hard surfaces and corresponding methods for cleaning textiles or hard surfaces using such a washing or cleaning agent.

In the use of detergents and cleaners, the consumer not only aims to wash, cleanse or care for the objects to be treated, but also desires that the treated objects, e.g. Textiles, after the treatment, for example after the wash, smell pleasant. For this reason in particular, most commercially available detergents and cleaners contain fragrances.

Most of the fragrances, however, are volatile. For this reason, when using conventional washing or cleaning agents after use, especially after washing, only a small proportion of the fragrance used remains on the treated object. As a result, often only a faint scent of the treated object, especially the laundry, goes out, which then already weaker after a short time. Thus, the pleasant feeling of freshness of the treated object disappears after a short time.

Often fragrances are used in the form of perfume particles either as an integral part of a washing or cleaning agent, or dosed directly into the washing drum at the beginning of a wash cycle in a separate form. In this way, the consumer can control the fragrance of the laundry to be washed by individual dosage.

The use of short and energetically economical, especially cold washes becomes more and more relevant for the consumer. A complete dissolution of perfume particles, in particular those based on carrier polymers such as polyalkylene glycols, in relatively short wash cycles with comparatively little water in the wash liquor and / or in cold wash cycles can generally not be guaranteed. It comes thus, after completion of the washing process, increasingly undesirable residues of the fragrance particles in the washing drum.

There is therefore still a need for detergents and cleaning agents which allow improved object scenting in the objects to be treated, preferably in textiles, and which do not lead to product residues in the washing drum, in particular when used in short and / or cold wash programs.

The object of the present invention was therefore to overcome the above-mentioned problems and at the same time to ensure adequate scenting of the object. The object of the present invention was, in particular, to provide washing and cleaning agents, after the use of which the treated products, preferably textiles, are not only clean, but also have an improved fragrance intensity, which also persists over a long period of time.

The objects were achieved according to the invention by a solid, particulate composition which, in addition to a carrier polymer, comprises one or more perfumes and / or a perfume capsule granule and is distinguished by a good solubility in water.

In a first aspect, the present invention is therefore directed to a solid, particulate composition comprising at least one water-soluble carrier polymer having a melting point of> 30 ° C, preferably> 40 ° C, preferably selected from polyalkylene glycols, more preferably polyethylene glycol, and at least one perfume therethrough characterized in that the composition contains at least one compound having an HLB value of ≥ 7 selected from the group consisting of nonionic surfactants, anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants and amphoteric surfactants for accelerating the solubility of the composition in an aqueous solution.

"Water-soluble" as used herein means a solubility in water at 20 ° C of at least 1 g / L, preferably at least 10 g / L, more preferably at least 50 g / L.

In another aspect, the present invention is directed to the use of the solid composition as described herein as a fabric care, preferably fragrance and / or fabric softener, conditioner and / or conditioner for fabrics.

In yet another aspect, the present invention is further directed to a laundry or cleaning composition comprising a solid composition as described herein.

These and other aspects, features, and advantages of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from a study of the following detailed description and claims. Any feature of one aspect of the invention may be employed in any other aspect of the invention. Further, it is to be understood that the examples contained herein are intended to describe and illustrate the invention, but not to limit it, and in particular that the invention is not limited to these examples.

All percentages are by weight unless otherwise specified. Numeric ranges indicated in the format "from x to y" include the above values. If multiple preferred numeric ranges are specified in this format, it is understood that all ranges resulting from the combination of the various endpoints are also captured.

"At least one" as used herein refers to 1 or more, for example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or more. In particular, this indication refers to the type of agent / compound and not the absolute number of molecules. "At least one perfume" therefore means that at least one type of perfume is detected but may also contain 2 or more different types of perfume.

A first object of the present invention is a solid, particulate composition comprising at least one water-soluble carrier polymer having a melting point> 30 ° C, preferably> 40 ° C, preferably selected from polyalkylene glycols, more preferably polyethylene glycol, and at least one perfume, characterized in that the composition containing at least one compound having an HLB value of ≥ 7 selected from the group consisting of nonionic surfactants, anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants and amphoteric surfactants for accelerating the solubility of the composition in an aqueous solution.

An "aqueous solution" as used herein may be water or a mixture of water with one or more other substances. By way of example, an aqueous solution may, in particular, be a wash liquor which arises in the course of a mechanical washing process.

The HLB value (HLB: hydrophilic-lipophilic balance) is a value that describes the ratio of lipophilic and hydrophilic parts within a molecule.

According to Griffin, the HLB value can be calculated using the following general formula: HLB = 20 × (1-M _lipophilic / M _total ) (I)

Mlipophil refers to the molecular weight of the lipophilic portion of the molecule in question and Mgesamt denotes the molecular weight of the entire molecule, resulting in a scale from 0 to 20 for the HLB value.

For polyalkoxylated fatty alcohols, the HLB value results in particular according to: HLB = 20 × (Mhydrophile / total) (II)

Here Mhydrophil refers to the molecular weight of the hydrophilic portion of the molecule in question and Mgesamt denotes the molecular weight of the entire molecule, resulting in a scale from 0 to 20 for the HLB value.

Another method of determination, according to Davies HLB = 7 + m × H _h - n × HI (III)

Here, m denotes the number of hydrophilic groups in the molecule, H h denotes the value of the hydrophilic group, n denotes the number of lipophilic groups in the molecule and H 1 denotes the value of the lipophilic group.

The HLB value can be determined for non-ionic compounds according to Griffin, for ionic compounds according to Davies. According to the HLB value for polyalkoxylated compounds of formula (II) is determined.

Based on their HLB value, individual compounds can be divided into different substance classes. Connections with an HLB value in the lower range of the HLB scale, i. below an HLB value of 7, characterized by their relatively pronounced lipophilic character by low to poor or not given miscibility with water.

By using compounds with an HLB value greater than 7 fragrance particles can be prepared, which can be completely dissolved even in short and / or cold wash programs.

According to the present invention, the at least one compound having an HLB value of ≥ 7 is selected from the group consisting of nonionic surfactants (nonionic surfactants), anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants and amphoteric surfactants.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the at least one compound having an HLB value ≥ 7, as defined herein, in an amount of 0.1 to 30 wt .-%, preferably in an amount of 2 to 25 wt .-%, especially in an amount of 5 to 10% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. In various embodiments, the at least one compound having an HLB value ≥ 7 is contained in an amount of 0.1 to 30% by weight in the composition.

The major component of the solid particulate composition as described herein is at least one water-soluble carrier polymer. In various embodiments, the at least one water-soluble carrier polymer is characterized by a melting point of> 30 ° C, preferably> 40 ° C.

In various embodiments, the at least one carrier polymer is characterized in that it has a melting point of 48 ° C to 300 ° C, preferably from 48 ° C to 120 ° C.

According to the present invention, the at least one carrier polymer is preferably selected from polyalkylene glycols.

In the context of the present invention, those polyalkylene glycols are suitable which have an average molecular weight of> 1000 g / mol, in particular> 1500 g / mol, preferably an average molecular weight of between 3,000 and 13,000, more preferably an average molecular weight of between 3,500 and 12,000, more preferably a average molecular weight between 4,000 and 11,000 and particularly preferably have an average molecular weight between 6,000 and 8,000. According to the present invention, in particular those polyalkyl glycols are suitable which have a melting point between 40 ° C and 90 ° C, in particular in the range of 45 to 70 ° C. Examples of polyalkylene glycols useful in the context of the present invention are polypropylene glycol and polyethylene glycol.

In some embodiments, the at least one carrier polymer is preferably polyethylene glycol.

In some embodiments, the at least one carrier polymer is a polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight of> 1500 g / mol, preferably an average molecular weight of between 3,000 and 13,000, more preferably an average molecular weight of between 3,500 and 12,000, more preferably having an average molecular weight between 4,000 and 11,000, and more preferably with an average molecular weight between 6,000 and 8,000.

Another component of the particulate solid composition as described herein is at least one perfume. A fragrance is an odor-stimulating, chemical Substance. In order to stimulate the sense of smell, the chemical substance should be at least partially redistributable in the air, ie the fragrance should be volatile at 25 ° C, at least to a small extent. If the fragrance is now very volatile, the odor intensity then quickly decreases again. At a lower volatility, the smell impression is more sustainable, ie it does not disappear so quickly. In one embodiment, therefore, the perfume has a melting point in the range of -100 ° C to 100 ° C, preferably from -80 ° C to 80 ° C, more preferably from -20 ° C to 50 ° C, especially of 30 ° C to 20 ° C.

Overall, a chemical substance should not exceed a certain molecular weight to act as a fragrance, since too high molecular weight, the required volatility can no longer be ensured. In one embodiment, the fragrance has a molecular weight of 40 to 700 g / mol, more preferably 60 to 400 g / mol.

The smell of a fragrance is perceived by most people as pleasant and often corresponds to the smell of, for example, flowers, fruits, spices, bark, resin, leaves, grasses, mosses and roots. Thus, fragrances can also be used to superimpose unpleasant odors or even to provide a non-smelling substance with a desired odor. As perfumes, individual perfume compounds, e.g. the synthetic products of the ester, ether, aldehyde, ketone, alcohol and hydrocarbon type are used.

In an alternative embodiment, it may be preferred that at least a portion of the perfume is used as a perfume precursor or in encapsulated form (perfume capsules), especially in microcapsules. The microcapsules may be water-soluble and / or water-insoluble microcapsules. For example, melamine-urea-formaldehyde microcapsules, melamine-formaldehyde microcapsules, urea-formaldehyde microcapsules, or starch microcapsules can be used. "Perfume precursor" refers to compounds that do not release the actual perfume until after chemical conversion / cleavage, typically by exposure to light or other environmental conditions such as pH, temperature, etc. Such compounds are often referred to as fragrance storage or "pro-fragrance".

Regardless of the form in which they are used, the amount of perfume in the composition is preferably between 1 to 20 wt .-%, preferably 1 to 15 wt .-%, in particular from 3 to 10 wt .-%, based on the total weight the composition.

In various embodiments, the solid particulate composition as described herein may further comprise at least one fabric conditioning compound. In this context, a textile-care compound is understood as meaning any compound which gives textile fabrics treated therewith a beneficial effect, such as, for example, a textile softening effect, crease resistance or the harmful or negative effects which result during cleaning and / or conditioning and / or wearing can occur, such as fading, graying, etc., reduced.

The fabric care composition may preferably be made of fabric softening compounds, bleaches, bleach activators, enzymes, silicone oils, anti redeposition agents, optical brighteners, grayness inhibitors, anti-shrinkage agents, wrinkle inhibitors, color transfer inhibitors, antimicrobials, germicides, fungicides, antioxidants, antistatic agents, ironing aids, phobizers and the like Impregnating agents, swelling and slipping agents, UV absorbers and mixtures thereof are selected.

It is particularly preferred that the fabric care compound is a fabric softening compound. It is most preferred that the fabric softening compound is selected from polysiloxanes, fabric softening clays, cationic polymers and mixtures thereof.

The use of polysiloxanes and / or cationic polymers as a fabric care compound in the composition is advantageous because they not only have a softening effect but also enhance the perfume impression on the laundry. The use of softening clays as a textile-care compound in the composition is advantageous since they additionally have a water-softening effect and thus, for example, calcium deposits on the laundry can be prevented. For optimum performance, it may be preferred for a composition to contain a combination of at least two fabric care compounds.

When the composition according to the invention contains such textile-care compounds, it is used in particular as a textile care agent or softener or as a constituent of such an agent or else as a constituent of a detergent.

Such a fabric conditioner can be used in the main wash of an automatic washing or cleaning process. For example, the composition may be added to the drum or dispenser compartment of a washing machine along with the detergent or cleaning agent. This has the advantage that no additional rinse is necessary and no unsightly deposits occur in the dispenser

Furthermore, such a solid composition can be used in the wash cycle of a laundry cleaning process and thus already transport the textile-care compound and the perfume directly to the laundry at the beginning of the washing process so as to be able to develop its full potential. Furthermore, this solid composition is easier and better to handle than liquid compositions, since no drops remain on the edge of the bottle, which lead to subsequent storage of the bottle to edges on the ground or to unsightly deposits in the region of the closure. The same applies in the event that some of the composition is accidentally spilled during dosing. The spilled composition can also be removed easier and cleaner.

Suitable amylases include in particular α-amylases, iso-amylases, pullulanases and pectinases. As cellulases are preferably cellobiohydrolases, endoglucanases and β-glucosidases, which are also called cellobiases, or mixtures thereof used. Since different cellulase types differ by their CMCase and avicelase activities, the desired activities can be set by targeted mixtures of the cellulases.

The enzymes may be adsorbed to carriers to protect against premature degradation. The proportion of enzymes or enzyme granules directly in the washing or cleaning agent may be, for example, about 0.01 to 5 wt .-%, preferably 0.12 to about 2.5 wt .-%.

Suitable derivatives include the sulfonated derivatives of the phthalic and terephthalic acid polymers. Another class of suitable soil-release polymers, in particular for cotton-containing textiles, are modified, for example alkoxylated and / or quaternized and / or oxidized, polyamines. The polyamines are, for example, polyalkyleneamines, such as polyethyleneamines, or polyalkylenimines, such as polyethylenimines. Preferred examples of this class of soil release polymers are ethoxylated polyethylenimines and ethoxylated polyethyleneamines.

Optical brighteners (so-called "whiteners") can be added to the detergents or cleaners to eliminate graying and yellowing of the treated fabrics. These fabrics impinge on the fiber and cause whitening and bleaching by transforming invisible ultraviolet radiation into visible longer wavelength light, emitting the ultraviolet light absorbed from the sunlight as faint bluish fluorescence, and pure with the yellowness of the grayed or yellowed wash White results. Suitable compounds are derived, for example, from the substance classes of 4,4'-diamino-2,2'-stilbenedisulfonic acids (flavonic acids), 4,4'-distyrylbiphenyls, methylumbelliferones, coumarins, dihydroquinolinones, 1,3-diarylpyrazolines, naphthalimides, benzoxazole , Benzisoxazole and benzimidazole systems as well as heterocyclic substituted pyrene derivatives. The optical brighteners are usually used in amounts of between 0% and 0.3% by weight, based on the finished washing or cleaning agent.

Grayness inhibitors have the task of keeping the dirt detached from the fiber suspended in the liquor and thus preventing the dirt from being rebuilt. Water-soluble colloids of mostly organic nature are suitable for this purpose, for example glue, gelatine, salts of ether sulfonic acids or cellulose or salts of acidic sulfuric acid esters of cellulose or starch. Also, water-soluble polyamides containing acidic groups are suitable for this purpose.

Alternatively, however, it is also possible to use enzymatic systems comprising a peroxidase and hydrogen peroxide or a substance which produces hydrogen peroxide in water as a color transfer inhibitor. The addition of a mediator compound for the peroxidase, for example an acetosyringone, a phenol derivative or a phenotiazine or phenoxazine, is preferred in this case, wherein additionally the above-mentioned polymeric dye transfer inhibitors can be used.

Since textile fabrics, in particular of rayon, rayon, cotton and their mixtures, can tend to wrinkle, because the individual fibers are sensitive to bending, buckling, pressing and squeezing transverse to the fiber direction, the detergents or cleaning agents may contain synthetic crease inhibitors. These include, for example, synthetic products based on fatty acids, fatty acid esters, fatty acid amides, alkylol esters, -alkylolamides or fatty alcohols, which are usually reacted with ethylene oxide, or products based on lecithin or modified phosphoric acid ester.

To combat microorganisms washing or cleaning agents may contain antimicrobial agents. Depending on the antimicrobial spectrum and mechanism of action, a distinction is made between bacteriostatic agents and bactericides, fungistats and fungicides, etc. Important substances from these groups are, for example, benzalkonium chlorides, alkylarylsulfonates, halophenols and phenolmercuric acetate, and the compounds according to the invention can be completely dispensed with in these detergents or cleaners ,

The detergents or cleaners according to the invention may contain preservatives, it being preferred to use only those which have no or only a low skin-sensitizing potential.

The most surface-active antistatic agents can be subdivided into nitrogen-containing (amines, amides, quaternary ammonium compounds), phosphorus-containing (phosphoric acid esters) and sulfur-containing (alkyl sulfonates, alkyl sulfates) antistatic agents.

To improve the rewettability of the treated fabrics and to facilitate the ironing of the treated fabrics, for example, silicone derivatives can be used in the detergents or cleaners. These additionally improve the rinsing behavior of the washing or cleaning agents by their foam-inhibiting properties.

Finally, the detergents or cleaning agents may also contain UV absorbers. Suitable compounds include benzophenone having substituents in the 2- and / or 4-position or substituted benzotriazoles.

In order to avoid the catalyzed by heavy metals decomposition of certain detergent ingredients, substances that complex heavy metals can be used.
