Description

The present invention relates to a solid, particulate composition comprising at least one perfume, at least one water-soluble carrier polymer, and at least one specific active ingredient selected from the group of polyethylene glycols having an average molar mass greater than 16,000, the fatty alcohol alkoxylates having at least 10 C atoms in the fatty chain and at least 10 alkoxy units, the alkoxylated castor oils having at least 5 alkoxy units, and in the case where the at least one water-soluble carrier material is a polyethylene glycol having an average molar mass in the range of 10,000 to 15,000, the alkoxy block copolymers. Furthermore, the present invention also relates to the use of such a solid, particulate composition for scenting and / or conditioning textile fabrics. Moreover, the invention relates to a washing or cleaning agent containing the solid, particulate composition and a process for preparing the solid, particulate composition.

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.

By replacing the wash liquor several times in the course of a wash cycle, however, the majority of the metered perfume particles is dissolved, even before the last rinse, whereby only an insufficient scenting of the washed laundry can be achieved.

There is therefore still a need for compositions which, in the case of objects to be treated, preferably textiles, enable improved scenting of the object, with the scent intensity as well as the sense of freshness over a long period of time being to be perceived as pleasant. Such fragrance compositions are already known in the art. They are usually prepared as a melt and then dropped by means of a nozzle on a cooling belt, where they should solidify as quickly as possible and take a nice geometric figure. With conventional products, it is frequently observed that their melt, after being dropped on the cooling belt, runs off into unsightly particles with a small layer thickness. These also have the disadvantage that they can break during transport and storage or that caused by breaking the thin edges much unwanted abrasion.

It was therefore an object of the present invention to overcome the abovementioned problems and to provide geometrically pleasing pastilles for scenting of the object without negatively influencing their laundry-care and / or laundry-scented properties.

The objects were inventively achieved by a solid, particulate composition comprising at least one water-soluble carrier material in addition to one or more fragrances and / or a fragrance capsule granules and additionally an active ingredient selected from the group of Polyethlyenglykole having an average molar mass greater than 16,000, the fatty alcohol alkoxylates at least 10 carbon atoms in the fatty chain and at least 10 alkoxy units, the alkoxylated castor oils having at least 5 alkoxy units and in the event that the at least one water-soluble carrier material is a polyethylene glycol having an average molar mass in the range of 10,000 to 15,000, the alkoxy block copolymers ,

• At least one water-soluble carrier polymer selected from the polyalkylene glycols, particularly preferably from the polyethylene glycols having an average molar mass in the range from 10,000 to 15,000 and / or the alkoxy block copolymers,

wherein the composition further comprises at least one active ingredient selected from the group of polyethylene glycols having an average molar mass greater than 16,000, the fatty alcohol alkoxylates having at least 10 C atoms in the fatty chain and at least 10 alkoxy units, the alkoxylated castor oils having at least 5 alkoxy units and in the case in that the at least one water-soluble carrier material is a polyethylene glycol having an average molar mass in the range of 10,000 to 15,000, the alkoxy block copolymers.

As the first constituent essential to the invention, the solid composition contains at least one perfume.

A fragrance is an odor-causing 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. In a further embodiment, the perfume has a boiling point ranging from 25 ° C to 400 ° C, preferably from 50 ° C to 380 ° C, more preferably from 75 ° C to 350 ° C, especially from 100 ° C to 330 ° C is located.

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.

It has been found that the addition of this particular active ingredient advantageously affects the pastilization process so that pellets having a greater layer thickness and less tendency to break or wear can be obtained.

Alkoxylated fatty alcohols having at least 10 carbon atoms in the fatty chain are preferred according to the invention. Furthermore, it may be preferred if the fatty chain has not more than 22 carbon atoms; Chain lengths of 10 to 18 are particularly preferred. Furthermore, the fatty alcohol alkoxylates preferred according to the invention have 10 to 40, in particular 10 to 30, ethylene oxide and / or propylene oxide units.

It is particularly preferred according to the invention if the solid compositions comprise as carrier polymer a polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight of 10,000 to 15,000 and as active ingredient a polyethylene glycol having an average molar mass greater than 16,000. The polyethylene glycols having an average molar mass greater than 16,000 are more preferably in the solid compositions in amounts of 1 to 99 wt .-%, in particular from 15 to 50 wt .-%, particularly preferably from 18 to 25 wt .-%, more preferred from 15 to 35% by weight and very particularly preferably from 20 to 30% by weight, based on the total solid preparation. If polyethylene glycols having an average molar mass greater than 16,000 are contained in the solid composition, this is particularly advantageous because, surprisingly, the melt viscosity is set particularly favorably, so that the solid compositions can be designed particularly simply in attractive forms.

Preferably, the at least one active ingredient is selected from the group of polyethylene glycols having an average molar mass greater than 16,000, preferably from the group of polyethylene glycols having an average molar mass of 16,000 to 22,000, more preferably having an average molar mass of 18,000 to 20,000.

Furthermore, the solid preparation may contain at least one silicate, such as a layered silicate or zeolite.

Preference is given to using crystalline layer-form silicates of the general formula NaMSi _x O _{2x + 1} .yH ₂ O, in which M represents sodium or hydrogen, x a number from 1.9 to 22, preferably from 1.9 to 4, particularly preferred values x is 2, 3 or 4, and y is a number from 0 to 33, preferably from 0 to 20. The crystalline layer-form silicates of the formula NaMSi _x O _{2x + 1} .yH ₂ O are for example sold by Clariant GmbH (Germany) under the trade name Na-SKS.

In the context of this invention, the term "amorphous" is understood to mean that the silicates do not yield sharp X-ray reflections typical of crystalline substances in X-ray diffraction experiments, but at most one or more maxima of the scattered X-rays having a width of several degrees of diffraction angle , cause.

Alternatively or in combination with the abovementioned amorphous sodium silicates, X-ray-amorphous silicates are used whose silicate particles give washed-out or even sharp diffraction maxima in electron diffraction experiments. This is to be interpreted as meaning that the products have microcrystalline regions of the size of ten to a few hundred nm, with values of up to max. 50 nm and in particular up to max. 20 nm are preferred. Such X-ray amorphous silicates also have a dissolution delay compared to conventional water glasses. Particularly preferred are compacted / compacted amorphous silicates, compounded amorphous silicates and overdried X-ray amorphous silicates.

Particularly preferred according to the invention are polysilicic acids, clay minerals such as montmorillonites and zeolites. According to the invention particularly preferred sheet silicates are the magnesium available under the trade name Laponite ^® or sodium magnesium layer silicates from Solvay Alkali, in particular Laponite ^® RD or Laponite ^® RDS, and magnesium silicates from Süd-Chemie, especially the Optigel® ^® SH.

It may furthermore be particularly preferred if a montmorillonite-based clay mineral, in particular a bentonite, is used as the silicate. Another suitable clay material is, for example, a smectite clay. Preferred smectite clays are beidellite clays, hectorite clays, laponite clays, montmorillonite clays, nontronite clays, saponite clays, sauconite clays, and mixtures thereof. Montmorillonite clays are the preferred clays. Bentonites contain mainly montmorillonites and may serve as a preferred source of the inorganic solids of the present invention. The bentonites can be used as powder or crystals.

Suitable bentonites are sold for example under the names Laundrosil® ^® from Sud-Chemie or under the name Detercal by the company Laviosa. The at least one silicate, preferably the clay material, may be present in an amount of up to 30% by weight, preferably 0.01 to 30% by weight, particularly preferably 10 to 25% by weight, in particular 18 to 22 Wt .-% each based on the total solid composition.

Furthermore, the compositions according to the invention may contain at least one inorganic solid selected from alkali metal and alkaline earth metal salts, in particular from carbonates, sulfates, halides or phosphates.

In a preferred embodiment, the solid compositions contain as inorganic solid at least one inorganic salt selected from the alkali or alkaline earth metal salts, in particular the carbonates, sulfates, halides or phosphates and mixtures thereof. Particular preference is given to using sodium sulfate and / or sodium carbonate.

The alkali metal and alkaline earth metal salts, preferably the sodium sulfate, may be present in an amount of up to 30% by weight, preferably from 0.01 to 30% by weight, particularly preferably from 10 to 25% by weight, in particular from 18 to 22% by weight.

It is particularly preferred according to the invention if the solid compositions comprise as carrier polymer at least one polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight of from 10,000 to 15,000, as active ingredient at least one polyethylene glycol having an average molar mass greater than 16,000 and additionally at least one alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salt, preferably sodium sulfate, contain. In a further embodiment, it may be particularly preferred that the solid compositions contain as carrier polymer at least one EO-PO block copolymer and additionally at least one alkali or alkaline earth metal salt. In a third embodiment, however, it may also be preferred for the solid compositions to comprise as carrier material a mixture of at least one EO-PO block copolymer and at least one polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight of from 10,000 to 15,000 and additionally containing at least one alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salt.

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.

By thus, the whereabouts of fragrance particles in the wash liquor can be ensured even after several wax cycles, whereby an improved scenting of the object can be brought about. The fragrance particles according to the invention are distinguished by a greater thickness after they are dropped and cooled, and thus have a lower tendency to undesired edge breakage and abrasion.

The invention therefore also relates to the use of the solid composition as described herein as a fabric care agent, preferably fragrance and / or softener, for fragrancing and / or conditioning textile fabrics. The composition may be a textile treatment agent such as, for example, a fabric softener or a part of such an agent.

By introducing the solid, particulate composition according to the invention into a washing or cleaning agent, the consumer is provided with a textile-care washing or cleaning agent ("2in1"). Detergent or cleaning agent) and he does not need to dose two agents as well as a separate rinse. Since the composition according to the invention is perfumed, it is not necessary to perfume the washing or cleaning agent. Not only does this result in lower costs, it is also beneficial for consumers with sensitive skin and / or allergies.

The composition described herein is particularly suitable for conditioning fabrics and, together with a conventional washing or cleaning agent, is brought into contact with the textile fabrics in the (main) wash cycle of a conventional washing and cleaning process.

If the composition according to the invention is part of a washing or cleaning agent, a solid washing or cleaning agent may preferably be mixed with from 1 to 20% by weight, in particular from 5 to 15% by weight, of the composition according to the invention.

Examples of such lipolytic enzymes are the known cutinases. Peroxidases or oxidases have also proved suitable in some cases. 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 .-%.

However, it may also be preferred, for example in the case of special detergents or cleaners for consumers with allergies and / or sensitive skin, that the washing or cleaning agent contains no enzymes.

In one embodiment, the washing or cleaning agent optionally contains one or more fragrances in an amount of usually up to 10 wt .-%, preferably 0.5 to 7 wt .-%, in particular 1 to 3 wt .-%. The amount of fragrance used is also dependent on the type of detergent or cleaning agent. However, it is particularly preferred that the perfume is introduced into the detergent or cleaning agent via the composition described herein. However, it is also possible for the washing or cleaning agent to contain fragrances which are not introduced into the washing or cleaning agent via the composition.

In order to improve the aesthetic impression of the detergents or cleaners, they may (optionally only partially) be colored with suitable dyes. Preferred dyes, the selection of which presents no difficulty to the skilled person, have a high storage stability and insensitivity to the other ingredients of detergents or cleaning agents and to light and no pronounced substantivity to textile fibers so as not to stain them.

Suitable foam inhibitors which can be used in the detergents or cleaners are, for example, soaps, paraffins or silicone oils, which may optionally be applied to support materials.

Suitable soil release polymers, also referred to as "anti-redeposition agents", include, for example, nonionic cellulose ethers such as methyl cellulose and methyl hydroxypropyl cellulose having a methoxy group content of 15 to 30 wt% and hydroxypropyl groups of 1 to 15 wt%, respectively based on the nonionic cellulose ether and the known from the prior art polymers of phthalic acid and / or terephthalic acid or derivatives thereof, in particular polymers of ethylene terephthalates and / or polyethylene and / or polypropylene glycol terephthalates or anionic and / or nonionic modified derivatives thereof. 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 polyethyleneimines. 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'-distyryl-biphenylene, methylumbelliferones,

Coumarins, dihydroquinolinones, 1,3-diarylpyrazolines, naphthalic acid imides, benzoxazole, benzisoxazole and benzimidazole systems, and 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. It is also possible to use soluble starch preparations and starch products other than those mentioned above, for example degraded starch, aldehyde starches, etc. Polyvinylpyrrolidone is also useful.

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, fungistatics 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. Examples are sorbic acid and its salts, benzoic acid and its salts, salicylic acid and its salts, phenoxyethanol, 3-iodo-2-propynyl butylcarbamate, sodium N- (hydroxymethyl) glycinate, biphenyl-2-ol and mixtures thereof. A suitable preservative provides the solvent-free, aqueous combination of diazolidinyl urea, sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate (available as Euxyl K 500 ^® from Schuelke & Mayr), which can be used in a pH range up. 7

This class of compounds includes, for example, substituted phenols, hydroquinones, catechols and aromatic amines, as well as organic sulfides, polysulfides, dithiocarbamates, phosphites, phosphonates and vitamin E.

Increased comfort may result from the additional use of antistatic agents added to the detergents or cleaners. 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. Suitable heavy metal complexing agents are, for example, the alkali metal salts of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) or nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) and alkali metal salts of anionic polyelectrolytes such as polymaleates and polysulfonates. A preferred class of complexing agents are the phosphonates. These preferred compounds include in particular organophosphonates such as 1-hydroxyethane-1,1-diphosphonic acid (HEDP), aminotri (methylenephosphonic acid) (ATMP), diethylenetriamine penta (methylenephosphonic acid) (DTPMP or DETPMP) and 2-phosphonobutane-1,2 , 4-tricarboxylic acid (PBS-AM), which are used mostly in the form of their ammonium or alkali metal salts.

In addition, neutral fillers such as sodium sulfate or sodium carbonate may be included in the solid detergents or cleaners.

The washing or cleaning agents according to the invention can be used in particular for cleaning and conditioning textile fabrics.

For the preparation of the detergents or cleaners according to the invention, the washing or cleaning agent without the composition of the invention is firstly prepared by known processes, which may comprise, for example, drying steps, mixing steps, densification steps, shaping steps and / or the subsequent addition of heat-sensitive ingredients ("post-addition"). produced. Subsequently, the product obtained is mixed with the solid, particulate composition. For the preparation of detergent tablets, the mixing step may be followed by further compaction and / or shaping steps.

Finally, the invention also relates to the use of such washing or cleaning agents for washing textiles or cleaning solid surfaces or methods for cleaning textiles or hard surfaces, wherein in at least one method step, a washing or cleaning agent as described herein is used.

The preferred embodiments described in connection with the compositions of the invention are transferable to the detergents and cleaners as well as the uses and methods described herein, and vice versa.

The melt viscosity is determined using a rotary rheometer (TA-Instruments, AR G2) with a PP measuring system 40 mm at a shear stress of 3 Pa and at a temperature of 60 ° C.

It can be seen how in the formulations according to the invention the melt viscosity is increased compared to the comparative example. This leads to a higher height / diameter ratio in the pastillation of these formulations.

Pastilles were prepared from the formulations V1, E2, E3 and E5 by dropping the melts through a nozzle with a diameter of 2 mm at a temperature of 60 ° C. from a height of 2 cm onto a steel sheet tempered to 25 ° C. The resulting pastilles have on average the following dimensions:

It can be seen that the formulations according to the invention have a more favorable diameter / height ratio. E3 and E5 provide almost hemispherical lozenges. Thus, they are subject to a lower edge breakage and act more aesthetically.
