Description

The present invention relates to a solid, particulate composition comprising at least one water-soluble, highly ethoxylated, nonionic surfactant and at least one perfume. Furthermore, the invention relates to processes for the preparation of the solid composition, as well as a washing or cleaning agent 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.

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 main constituent of such fragrance pastilles known in the prior art is a water-soluble or at least water-dispersible carrier polymer which serves as a vehicle for the integrated fragrances and which dissolves more or less completely in the wash liquor in the course of the waxing process, thus the fragrances contained and possibly to release further components in the wash liquor. In most cases, such a carrier polymer is a polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight of about 2000 to 12,000 g / mol and a suitable melting point, for example in the range of 30 ° C to 70 ° C. Although such carrier polymers are the major component of the perfume pastilles, apart from their function as carrier material, they have no further beneficial purpose.

The object of the present invention was therefore to identify a carrier material which is on the one hand water-soluble or water-dispersible and exhibits a suitable melting range, on the other hand may have additional favorable properties in the wash cycle.

The object has been achieved according to the invention by a formulation for enamel bodies comprising at least one water-soluble, highly ethoxylated, nonionic surfactant and at least one perfume. Compared to perfume pastes based on water-soluble carrier polymers, such as polyethylene glycol, the fused bodies according to the invention can contribute to the washing performance, since a washing-active surfactant is used as the carrier material.

m represents the degree of ethoxylation in the form of an integer ≥30. The alkyl radical is preferably unsubstituted or hydroxy substituted, for example 2-hydroxy substituted, more preferably unsubstituted. Furthermore, linear alkyl radicals are preferred. In certain embodiments, the terminal hydrogen of the polyethylene oxide group may be replaced by an alkyl radical, for example, a linear or branched, unsubstituted alkyl radical of 1 to 30 carbon atoms. This results in end-capped surfactants. All of the fatty alcohol ethoxylates mentioned below can, in various embodiments, also be the corresponding end-capped derivatives.

In some embodiments, R in the formula RO- (EO) _m -H is selected from the group consisting of linear or branched, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl radicals, preferably linear, unsubstituted alkyl radicals, most preferably fatty alcohol radicals.

Suitable surfactants are commercially available, for example, under the trade names Leunapon® F 1618/80 (Leuna Tenside GmbH) or Rhodasurf® CST 80 (Solvay).

The stated C chain lengths and degrees of ethoxylation of the nonionic surfactants represent statistical averages, which may be an integer or a fractional number for a particular product. Due to the manufacturing process, commercial products of the formulas mentioned mostly do not consist of an individual representative, but of mixtures, which may result in mean values for the C chain lengths as well as the degrees of ethoxylation and, consequently, fractional numbers.

In various embodiments, the at least one highly ethoxylated nonionic surfactant is characterized by having a melting point of from 48 ° C to 120 ° C, preferably from 48 ° C to 80 ° C.

Another component of the solid particulate composition according to the present invention is 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, i. the perfume should be at least slightly volatile at 25 ° C. If the fragrance is now very volatile, the odor intensity then quickly decreases again. However, with lower volatility the odor impression is more sustainable, i. he does not disappear so fast. 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.

In the context of the present invention, those polyalkylene glycols are suitable which have an average molecular weight (M _n ) of> 1000 g / mol, in particular> 1500 g / mol, preferably an average molecular weight of between 3,000 and 15,000, more preferably an average molecular weight of between 4,000 and 13,000 , more preferably, have an average molecular weight between 4,000 and 6,000, 6,000 and 8,000 or 9,000 and 12,000, and most preferably from about 4,000 or about 6,000 g / mole.

If, in the context of this application, the term "average molecular weight of polyalkylene glycols" is used, these data relate in each case to the number-average molecular weights (M _n ) calculated mathematically from the OH number measured in accordance with DIN 53240-1, in particular DIN 53240-1 : 2012-07, surrendered.

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 from 3,000 to 15,000, more preferably having an average molecular weight of from 4,000 to 13,000, more preferably an average molecular weight from 4000 to 6000, from 6000 to 8000, or from 9,000 to 12,000, and most preferably from about 4,000 to about 6,000 g / mol. In some embodiments, such a polyethylene glycol is characterized by a melting point in the range of 45 to 70 ° C, preferably 50 to 65 ° C, more preferably 50 to 60 ° C.

In various embodiments, the composition as described herein may further comprise at least one textile care compound. In this context, a textile care compound is understood to mean 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 or wearing, 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 that the composition contains 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 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, the composition according to the invention is simpler and easier to handle than liquid compositions, since no drops remain on the edge of the bottle, which lead to edges on the substrate during subsequent storage of the bottle 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 amount can also be removed easier and cleaner.

A method of making such fuses may include the following steps:

1. (a) continuously producing and conveying a melt comprising the at least one water-soluble or water-dispersible, highly ethoxylated nonionic surfactant;
2. (b) continuously dosing the at least one perfume into the melt comprising the at least one water-soluble or water-dispersible, highly ethoxylated nonionic surfactant;
3. (c) mixing the melt comprising the at least one water-soluble or water-dispersible, highly ethoxylated nonionic surfactant and the at least one perfume; and
4. (d) cooling and optionally forming the mixture to obtain perfume-containing fused bodies.

The fusible bodies produced in this way can have any desired shape. The shaping takes place in particular in step (d) of the described method. Preferred are solid, particulate forms, such as substantially spherical, figurative, scale, cuboid, cylindrical, conical or acicular particles. For example, the particles may have a gummy-like, figurative design. The maximum extent of the particles in a spatial dimension is preferably from 0.5 to 10 mm, in particular 0.8 to 7 mm and particularly preferably 1 to 3 mm. This means that, for example in the case of spherical particles, the diameter of the particles is from 0.5 to 10 mm, in particular 0.8 to 7 mm and particularly preferably 1 to 3 mm. Usually, the weight of the individual particles is between 2 and 150 mg, preferably between 5 and 10 mg.

In various embodiments, the melting in step (a) of the processes described herein is accomplished by heating to a temperature not more than 20 ° C above the melting point of the highly ethoxylated nonionic surfactant. The melting can be carried out using all customary methods and devices known to the person skilled in the art. The melt containing the at least one highly ethoxylated nonionic surfactant is continuously produced, for example, by the at least one highly ethoxylated nonionic surfactant and optionally further constituents of the melted body being continuously fed to a corresponding device in which it is heated and the melt thus produced is further conveyed, for example pumped ,

In a next step, the at least one perfume is then added continuously to the melt. For this purpose, the at least one perfume is preferably used in liquid form, for example as perfume oil, solution in a suitable solvent or as a slurry of perfume capsules in a, typically water-containing, solvent. "Liquid" as used in this context means liquid under the conditions of use, preferably liquid at 20 ° C.

In the production, the flow can optionally be controlled by means of flow rate measurement of the individual metering streams, ie the melt, the perfume stream and optionally further ingredient streams. This also allows, for example, adjust the proportions of the individual components. Additional ingredients which are used in addition to the highly ethoxylated nonionic surfactant and the fragrances acting as the carrier material can be produced either directly together with the highly ethoxylated nonionic surfactant as a melt, be added together with the fragrances or separately to the melt. In the latter alternative, the metered addition can take place before or after the addition of the fragrances.

The mixing of the combined metering streams can then be carried out in each case directly after metering or downstream after metering in several or all of the ingredients with suitable mixers, such as customary static or dynamic mixing units.

After mixing, the melt thus obtained is cooled and optionally fed to the forming, where the melt solidifies and obtains its final shape. Suitable methods for shaping are known to the person skilled in the art. Usual forms have already been described above.

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

Furthermore, the invention relates to a washing or cleaning agent comprising the composition according to the invention.

By introducing the composition according to the invention into a washing or cleaning agent, the consumer is provided with a textile-care washing or cleaning agent ("2in1" washing or cleaning agent) and does not need to dose two agents or a separate rinse. Since the compositions according to the invention are perfumed, the washing or cleaning agent does not have to be perfumed. Not only does this result in lower costs, it is also beneficial for consumers with sensitive skin and / or allergies. Since the highly ethoxylated nonionic surfactant, which acts as a carrier material, also contributes to the washing performance, the total amount of (nonionic) surfactants as a whole can be reduced in detergents or cleaners combined with the melted bodies as described herein.

The fuser compositions described herein are particularly useful for conditioning fabrics and, for this purpose, are contacted with the fabrics together with a conventional laundry or cleaning agent in the (main) wash of a conventional laundry and cleaning process.

If the enamel-body 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.

The ones described in connection with the compositions according to the invention are also transferable to processes for the preparation thereof, the detergents and cleaners containing them and the uses described herein, and vice versa.
