Description

The present invention relates to a process for the production of fused bodies, which comprises preparing a melt dispersion comprising at least one water-soluble or water-dispersible carrier material and at least one solid, mixing the thus-obtained fused dispersion with at least one esthetic and reshaping the melt dispersion thus obtained to obtain solid pastilles. The present invention is further directed to the fins produced by this method, to a detergent or cleaning composition containing them, to the use of such a detergent or cleaner for cleaning textiles or hard surfaces, and to corresponding processes for cleaning textiles or hard Surfaces using such a detergent 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 pastilles 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.

Such fragrance pastilles are usually prepared from melt dispersions whose main component is a water-soluble or water-dispersible carrier material having a suitable melting temperature. In addition to the scent components also containing and optionally other excipients, such as washing-active substances, such melt dispersions and solids can be added to influence, for example, the viscosity of the dispersion to be processed. The production of the pastilles requires the uninterrupted provision of such a melt dispersion.

The provision of the melt dispersion naturally takes place at temperatures above room temperature, the absolute temperature of the melt dispersion being determined by the chemical nature of the support material as well as by the further course of the process, for example the provision or additional use of additional heating or cooling elements in the course of the process.

To form the fusible elements, the melt dispersion is solidified by cooling below its melting point. The cooling and solidification takes place, for example, on a corresponding cooling surface, from which the molded enamel bodies are then removed again. In the separation, it is important to avoid excessive force and the fracture of the fusible elements. In addition, the fusible particles should dissolve residue-free from the cooling belt. For this purpose, for example, cooling surfaces with a special coating or, as in the European patent EP 2 353 709 B1 , describing the use of release agents on the cooling surfaces.

Although first solutions have already been described with respect to the technical challenges outlined above, there is still a need for improved production methods for fusible elements which minimize or even eliminate the mentioned disadvantages to an even greater extent.

This object has been achieved according to the invention by a multi-stage process in which a melt dispersion is processed to melt bodies using a release agent.

In a further aspect, the present invention is also directed to the use of the fused bodies, prepared by a process as described herein, as fabric care agents, preferably fragrances and / or fabric softeners, for perfuming and / or conditioning fabrics.

In yet another aspect, the present invention is further directed to a laundry or cleaning composition comprising a fuser made by a process 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.

"Fuser" as used herein refers to nonporous, fusible, water-soluble or water-dispersible solids at standard conditions (20 ° C, 1013 mbar) which are obtainable by solidification and remelting of the melts described herein.

The fusible bodies can have any shape. The shaping takes place in particular in step iii) of the described method. Preferred are solid, particulate forms, such as substantially spherical, figural, scale, cuboid, cylinder, cone, kugelkalotten- or lenticular, hemispherical, disc or needle-shaped enamel bodies. For example, the fusible bodies may have a gummy-like, figurative design. Because of their packaging properties and their performance profile, hemispherical fusible bodies are particularly preferred.

Preferred enamel bodies have in any spatial direction a maximum diameter of between 4 and 15 mm, preferably between 5 and 10 mm. Particularly preferred fusible bodies are characterized by a maximum diameter of 2 to 8 mm, more preferably 4 to 6 mm. On the one hand, such enamel bodies are particularly readily soluble in water and, on the other hand, have a size that is visually appealing to the consumer.

100% hemispheric (hemispherical) particles are characterized by a height to diameter ratio of 0.5. According to the invention, those enamel bodies are also referred to as hemispherical having a height to diameter ratio of 0.25 to 0.49. Particular preference is given to enamel bodies having a height to diameter ratio of 0.35 to 0.45.

The weight of the individual enamel bodies is usually between 2 and 150 mg, preferably between 5 and 10 mg.

"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.

"Water-dispersible" as used herein means that the support material can be dispersed in water at 20 ° C by known methods.

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.

The present invention is directed to a fumed body manufacturing process such as fragrance pastilles wherein a melt dispersion is prepared in an uninterrupted process sequence and reshaped in a final step. The method as described herein is characterized by obtaining pastilles having a uniform, visually appealing spatial shape. At the same time, the process minimizes the amounts of returns that occur during its course, which result from the incomplete detachment of the fusible elements from the cooling belt. Furthermore, machine downtimes for cleaning the cooling belt are minimized or even completely avoided.

A first subject of the present invention is therefore a process for the preparation of Schmelzkörpem. According to the present invention, the method comprises the steps described below:

In a first step i), in a first container, a perfume-free melt dispersion comprising at least one water-soluble or water-dispersible carrier material and at least one solid is prepared. The water-soluble or water-dispersible molten support material used has a melting temperature of> 30 ° C, preferably> 40 ° C and in particular> 50 ° C.

Containers which are suitable for this purpose are generally familiar to the person skilled in the art. However, the applicability in a method as described herein is that the container permits thorough mixing of the components of the melt dispersion to be produced in step i) and further comprises at least one regulatable aperture through which the components of the melt dispersion to be produced in step i) the container can be introduced, and in addition at least one further adjustable opening through which the melt dispersion prepared in step i) can be discharged from the container. Through these openings, inlet and / or outlet stream can be controlled quantity. The first container may be, for example, a mixing unit. The constituents of the melt are heated to a temperature above the melting point of the support material, preferably to a temperature above 40 ° C, more preferably above 50 ° C. Alternatively or additionally, the carrier material can already be supplied in molten form and mixed in the first container with the at least one solid.

In some embodiments, the melt dispersion is transferred from the first container into the subsequent container by pressure, so that the melt dispersion is pumped / pressed from the first container into the subsequent container. Such pumping out of the melt offers the advantage that a largely complete, rapid transfer of the melt from one container to the next is ensured, so that as little residual material as possible which remains as residue in the respective outlet container is lost. The same applies to the outlet of the melt dispersion prepared in step ii). The transfer of the melt dispersion from the first into the subsequent container or from the following container for forming can also be effected directly by means of suitable mixing units.

In order to ensure a process-economic replacement of the carrier material, the melting of the carrier material can be carried out in an additional, the first container upstream container. In various embodiments, the melting of the support material is basically carried out by heating it to a temperature which is not more than 20 ° C above the melting point of the support material. This also applies if the melting of the carrier material takes place in the first container already described. The melting can be carried out using all customary methods and devices known to the person skilled in the art. According to some embodiments, the thus melted substrate may then be transferred to the first vessel in step i) of the process step a) upstream as described herein to produce the melt dispersion of step i). It is correspondingly desirable that the first container additionally comprises at least one adjustable opening, which allows the introduction of such a melted carrier material. Accordingly, according to some embodiments, the method described herein is characterized in that the carrier material is melted in a step i) preceding step a).

During the production of both the melt from step i) and the melt from step ii), the individual flows (all material inlets / outlets, as described herein) can optionally be replaced by means of Flow rate measurement of the individual metered streams, ie the melt, the perfume stream and possibly other streams are controlled. This also allows, for example, adjust the proportions of the individual components.

The inventive method is preferably characterized in that the melt dispersion prepared in step i) is transferred from the first container directly into the subsequent container.

The production method according to the invention is a sequential process sequence. A process sequence as described herein may be continuous or as a batch process, with a continuous process being preferred. The continuous process management makes it possible to change the amount or chemical nature of the esthetics used during operation, for example to stop the supply of perfume in step ii) and to switch the production to an alternative process product. Due to the late-stage metering of the esthetics in step ii), the residual amounts of such a change must be flushed out by the subsequent melt dispersion only from a part of the production plant (the part of the production plant downstream of the metering point for the esthetics). The corresponding lead, which contains an undesirable mixture of several esthetics or an incorrect concentration of the desired esthetics, can be discarded or recycled as a blending material (in step i) or ii).

As already mentioned, an advantage of the method as described herein is that production changes are made possible without great expense. Due to the sequential process flow, the components to be supplied in the individual process steps, i. Carrier material, solid, dye, perfume and possibly other ingredients, largely separately from each other are exchanged for alternatives without the entire production process must come to a standstill. In addition, in this way the accumulation of large quantities of unsuitable product quantities can be avoided. If, for example, a fragrance and / or dye change take place, the supply of the fragrance and / or dye is first stopped and the melt dispersion prepared in step i) further transferred from the first container in the second container and forwarded from this for forming.

As a result, the system is "flushed" with the fragrance and / or dye-free melt, so to speak, and scent and / or dye residues are removed. The resulting blend can be recycled later in a reuse of the same fragrance and / or dye in the process. Subsequently, another color and / or fragrance can be supplied, wherein the flow can in turn be discarded or recycled as waste material in the process. Since melt is continuously generated, the change of the fragrance and / or dye takes place, so to speak, in the ongoing process and the amounts of waste are comparatively small.

According to some embodiments, the method described herein is characterized in that waste material which is obtained after step ii) in step i) or ii), preferably in step i) is recycled.

In a second step ii), the melt dispersion prepared in step i) is mixed with at least one esthetic. In this case, step ii) is preferably carried out either (1) in a container downstream of the first container or (2) directly in the outlet stream emerging from the first container. The first and subsequent containers are in communication with each other in accordance with the present invention. Via this compound, according to the present invention, the melt dispersion prepared in the first container is transferred to the subsequent container. "Subordinate" or "subsequent", as used in this context, means that the container in question, viewed from the first container, is downstream of it, ie. the volume flow from the first container passes into this subsequent container at a later process time. But it is quite possible that the exiting from the first container volume flow before other, intermediate container passes.

It is also true for the subsequent container that thorough mixing of the components introduced into the container must be ensured. Furthermore, the container comprises at least one adjustable opening, via which the melt dispersion prepared in step i) can be introduced into the container, at least one further adjustable opening, via which the aesthetic (and possibly other components) can be introduced into the container, as well In addition, in addition at least one adjustable opening through which the melt dispersion prepared in step ii) can be discharged from the container. Also, this container may, for example, a suitable mixing unit, such. a static mixer, his.

However, the mixing can also be carried out by continuously admixing the at least one esthetics in the outflow stream leaving the first container, ie without the need for a separate container. In this case, the opening through which the at least one esthetic is introduced into the melt dispersion is preferably adjustable. Although the invention will be described below with reference to mixing in a subsequent container, it is to be understood that the described embodiments can also be applied to the above-described alternative of mixing in the outflow stream of the first container. In this case, the mixing volume of the subsequent container may also be the volume of the line in which the outlet stream is led out of the first container.

Aesthetic, as used herein, refers to an active or adjuvant which is temperature-sensitive at the temperature used to prepare the melt dispersion in step i), ie which is chemically or physically disintegrated at that temperature.

Aesthetic, as used herein, refers more particularly to an active or adjuvant whose use in the fusible bodies is sensory by the consumer. The group of aesthetics includes in particular the fragrances and dyes.

The fragrance is preferably used in liquid form, for example as a perfume oil, solution in a suitable solvent or as a slurry of perfume capsules in a, typically hydrous, solvent. "Liquid" as used in this context means liquid under the conditions of use, preferably liquid at 20 ° C. However, in some embodiments, the at least one perfume is a substantially "dry", i. largely anhydrous component. According to some embodiments, the method described herein is characterized in that the at least one fragrance is used in the form of perfume capsules and / or perfume oils.

The dyes are also preferably used in liquid form, for example in the form of an aqueous solution or slurry. In addition to water, the suitable dye preparations may also contain organic solvents, in particular polyols.

In a third step iii), the melt dispersion obtained in step ii) is converted to obtain solid fused bodies. For example, via the above-mentioned opening, which allows the outlet of the melt dispersion produced in step ii) from the following container, the produced melt is fed to the forming.

The transformation of the melt obtained after step ii) can be carried out by customary shaping processes. Suitable methods of forming are known to those skilled in the art and involve cooling the melt to a temperature which is below the melting temperature of the support material, so that the melt solidifies and / or then obtains its final shape. Examples include pastillation, dropping, melt extrusion, prilling methods and others.

With particular preference, the production of the fusible bodies by pastillation takes place. A corresponding preferred method comprises the following steps:

• i) preparing a melt dispersion comprising at least one water-soluble or water-dispersible melted carrier material having a melting temperature of> 30 ° C as a continuous phase and at least one solid as a disperse phase in a first container;
• ii) mixing the melt dispersion of step i) with at least one esthetic, wherein (1) the melt dispersion is transferred to a subsequent container and mixed therein with at least one esthetic, or (2) the at least one esthetics continuously into the outlet stream of the first Container is admixed;

• iv) solidifying the drops of the mixture on the cooling surface to solid fusible bodies, characterized in that in step iii) the fusible bodies are shaped and cooled on a cooling surface, wherein a steel strip is used as the cooling surface and the cooling surface is acted upon by a release agent.

The cooling surface is preferably made of a material which is inert to the release agent under process conditions or is coated with such. In various embodiments, the cooling surface or the surface of the cooling surface contains or consists of metal, in particular it consists of stainless steel.

In a preferred aspect of the invention, the cooling surface is actively cooled. The active cooling serves to accelerate solidification of the fusible elements. Such active cooling can be realized for example by spraying cold water on the underside of the cooling surface.

The intended for solidification cooling surface is acted upon in the methods described herein with a release agent. The release agent is preferably a liquid release agent, i. liquid at the process conditions, and is especially selected from water, aqueous solutions, water / surfactant mixtures, oils and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) containing agents, especially mineral and silicone oils. The release agent is particularly selected so that it is compatible under process conditions with the melt and its ingredients and is also suitable for the desired use of the fusible elements. In preferred embodiments, it is water or predominantly aqueous solutions, the latter may contain, for example, dissolved ingredients such as salts or surfactants and the like.

In various embodiments of the invention, the release agent is applied by spraying, condensation, dipping or wetting.

In various embodiments, the process is a continuous process and the cooling surface is a cooling belt. In this case, the cooling belt for wetting with the release agent can pass through a reservoir of the release agent or be wetted by means of an applicator, which is in fluid communication with a reservoir of the release agent, with the release agent. Alternatively, however, the cooling belt can also be cooled as described above so that moisture from the ambient air condenses out of it and then serves as a release agent.

Very particularly preferred are methods wherein the release agent is water and condenses by cooling the cooling surface below the dew point of the ambient atmosphere on this. This means that the cooling surface is cooled down so far that moisture from the ambient air can condense on it and then be used as a release agent. In such embodiments, the process is carried out under conditions in which the humidity of the ambient air is sufficient for this purpose, ie, for example at least 50 or 60%. The water content of the ambient air surrounding the process apparatus is preferably between 3 and 16 g / m ³ , particularly preferably between 8 and 15 g / m ³ and in particular between 10 and 14 g / m ³ .

Within the scope of this process variant, it is furthermore preferred to allow the solidification of the melt dispersion to take place under controlled climatic conditions. Such a procedure is possible, for example, in fully air-conditioned production halls. Alternatively, the climatic conditions, in particular the climatic conditions of the atmosphere surrounding the cooling surface can be realized by covers which at least partially separate the cooling surface from the external environment and allow the setting of a constant air temperature or humidity in the atmosphere surrounding the cooling surface.

In various embodiments of such methods using a cooling belt, the fusible links are dropped from the cooling belt, optionally by means of a scraping device.

The cooling belt can be acted upon, for example, in the region between the discharge point of the reshaped melted body and the application point of the transformed enamel body on the cooling belt with the release agent.

The methods described herein may further comprise a step of cleaning the cooling belt after the discharge point by means of a cleaning device. This cleaning can take place, for example, in that the cooling belt passes through a reservoir of the release agent, in which cleaning takes place at the same time, or the application device for the release agent simultaneously has a cleaning function.

In a preferred embodiment, the melt dispersion prepared in step i) is discharged by means of a pipeline from the first container and fed to the drop former. In this case, it is further preferred that the at least one esthetic be continuously introduced into the outflow stream of the first container by means of a further pipeline from a corresponding storage container. For this purpose, in particular, a liquid preparation of the aesthetics, for example in the form of a solution. The temperature of the esthetic or the liquid preparation of the esthetic is preferably at least 10 ° C., preferably at least 20 ° C. and in particular at least 30 ° C. below the temperature of the melt dispersion forming the outlet stream before being introduced into the outlet stream of the first container.

It is further preferred, after the introduction of the esthetic into the melt dispersion, to mix the resulting mixture in the pipeline. Preferably, the mixing takes place by means of a static mixer, which is located in the pipeline in the flow direction of the melt dispersion behind the access point of the Aesthetic and before the point of entry of the mixture into the drop former.

The length of the static mixer mounted in the pipeline in the flow direction of the melt dispersion is preferably at least 10 times, preferably at least 20 times and in particular at least 50 times the diameter of the pipeline.

To ensure optimum mixing of the melt dispersion and the aesthetics, the distance between the end of the static mixer and the point of entry of the pipeline into the drop former is less than 500 times, preferably less than 200 times and in particular less than 100 times the diameter of the pipeline.

The diameter of the pipeline whose internal diameter is considered without taking into account the wall thickness.

From the pipeline, the mixture of melt dispersion and aesthetics enters the drop former with rotating, perforated outer drum. The portion of the tubing that is within the drum of the drop former is referred to below as a supply channel for distinction from the previous tubing. The feed channel preferably extends over at least 80%, more preferably over at least 90% and in particular over 100% of the length of the drum of the drop former.

The introduced into the feed channel mixture exits from the feed channel preferably located at the bottom of the feed channel bores from the feed channel on a distributor or nozzle bar, which in turn rests against the inside of the rotating, perforated outer drum. The mixture passes through the distributor or nozzle bar and is subsequently discharged from the holes of the rotating outer drum to a steel band located below these holes. The distance between the outside of the rotating perforated outer drum and the surface of the steel strip is preferably between 5 and 20 mm.

To further improve the mixing of the melt dispersion and the aesthetics and to prevent or minimize sedimentation, a further mixer can be arranged in the feed channel. This is preferably a dynamic mixer, for example a helix arranged rotatably within the feed channel.

In order to minimize the temperature stress on the esthetic, the residence time of the mixture of melt dispersion and esthetics in the pipeline is up to the exit from the rotating, perforated Outer drum of the drop former preferably less than 20 seconds, more preferably less than 10 seconds and in particular between 0.5 and 5 seconds.

The viscosity (Texas Instruments AR-G2 rheometer, plate / plate, 4cm diameter, 1100μm column, shear rate 10 / 1sec) of the mixture as it leaves the rotating, perforated outer drum is preferably between 1000 and 10,000 mPas.

On the steel strip, the droplets of the mixture discharged from the drop former are solidified into solid melt bodies. The period of time between the dropping of the mixture on the steel strip and the complete solidification of the mixture is preferably between 5 and 60 seconds, more preferably between 10 and 50 seconds and in particular between 20 and 40 seconds.

The solidification of the mixture is preferably supported and accelerated by cooling. The cooling of the drops applied to the steel strip can be direct or indirect. As direct cooling, for example, cooling by means of cold air can be used. Preferably, however, the indirect cooling of the drops by cooling the underside of the steel strip by means of cold water.

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 ) which arithmetically calculated from the OH number measured in accordance with DIN 53240-1: 2012-07.

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 (M _n) of> 1500 g / mol, preferably an average molecular weight from 3000 to 15,000, more preferably having an average molecular weight from 4000 to 13,000, more preferably has 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 / 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. "About" or "approximately" as used herein When used with a numerical value, the numerical value means ± 10%, preferably ± 5%.

In various embodiments, the at least one carrier polymer is employed in an amount such that the resulting fusible body, i. the perfume pastille contains from 30 to 95% by weight, preferably from 35 to 85% by weight, for example 40 to 80 or 40 to 78% by weight, based on the total weight of the fusible body of the carrier polymer.

As an alternative to the polymeric support materials described above, specific carrier salts may also be used. These specific salts are in particular water-containing salts whose water vapor partial pressure at a certain temperature in the range from 30 to 100 ° C. corresponds to the H ₂ O partial pressure of the saturated solution of this salt.

The fuser as described herein is prepared from a solution of the carrier material in the water / water of crystallization contained in the composition, and for such a solution, the term "melt" is also used to refer to the state to designate, in which the carrier material dissolves by the elimination of water in its own water of crystallization and thus forms a liquid. The term "melt" as used herein thus refers to the liquid state of the composition which results when the temperature is exceeded at which the support material splits off water of crystallization and then dissolves in the water contained in the composition. The corresponding dispersion containing the herein described (solid) substances dispersed in the melt of the carrier material is thus also the subject of the invention. Thus, when reference is made below to the solid, particulate composition, the corresponding melt / melt dispersion from which it is obtainable is always included. Since these do not differ in composition except for the state of matter, the terms are used interchangeably herein.

A preferred support material is characterized in that it is selected from hydrous salts whose water vapor partial pressure at a temperature in the range of 30 to 100 ° C corresponds to the H ₂ O partial pressure of the saturated solution of this salt at the same temperature. As a result, the corresponding hydrous salt, also referred to herein as a "hydrate", dissolves on reaching or exceeding this temperature in its own water of crystallization, thereby changing from a solid to a liquid state of matter. Preferably, the support materials of the invention exhibit this behavior at a temperature in the range of 40 to 90 ° C, more preferably between 50 and 85 ° C, even more preferably between 55 and 80 ° C.

The water-soluble carrier materials from the group of hydrous salts described above include in particular the sodium acetate trihydrate (Na (CH ₃ COO) .3H ₂ O), the Glauber salt (Na ₂ SO ₄ .10H ₂ O) and the trisodium phosphate dodecahydrate (Na ₃ PO ₄ x 12 H ₂ O).

A particularly suitable hydrate is sodium acetate trihydrate (Na (CH ₃ COO) .3H ₂ O), since it dissolves in its own water of crystallization in the particularly preferred temperature range of 55 to 80 ° C, concretely at about 58 ° C. The sodium acetate trihydrate can be used directly as such, but it is alternatively possible to use anhydrous sodium acetate in combination with free water, the trihydrate then forming in situ. In such embodiments, the amount of water used is in less than or more than stoichiometric amount, based on the amount necessary to convert all the sodium acetate to sodium acetate trihydrate, preferably in an amount of at least 60% by weight, preferably at least 70% by weight %, more preferably at least 80%, most preferably 90%, 100% or more by weight of the amount theoretically required to convert all of the sodium acetate to sodium acetate trihydrate (Na (CH 3) 2) ₃ COO) · 3H ₂ O). Particularly preferred is the superstoichiometric use of water. With respect to the compositions according to the invention, this means that when (anhydrous) sodium acetate is used alone or in combination with a hydrate thereof, preferably the trihydrate, water is also used, the amount of water being at least equal to the stoichiometrically necessary amount, to ensure that at least 60% by weight of the total amount of sodium acetate and its hydrates, preferably at least 70% by weight, more preferably at least 80% by weight, even more preferably at least 90% by weight, most preferably at least 100 wt .-%, in the form of sodium acetate trihydrate. As already described above, it is particularly preferred that the amount of water exceeds the amount that would theoretically be necessary to convert all of the sodium acetate to the corresponding trihydrate. This means, for example, that a composition containing 50% by weight of anhydrous sodium acetate and no hydrate thereof contains at least 19.8% by weight of water (60% of 33% by weight, which would theoretically be necessary to convert all the sodium acetate into the trihydrate).

All of the embodiments described below can be explicitly combined with both of the aforementioned alternatives.

In various embodiments, the at least one support material from the group of hydrous salts whose water vapor partial pressure at a temperature in the range of 30 to 100 ° C corresponds to the H ₂ O partial pressure of the saturated solution of this salt at the same temperature, used in an amount in that the resulting fusible body contains from 30 to 95% by weight, preferably from 40 to 90% by weight, for example 45 to 90% by weight, based on the total weight of the fusible body of the carrier material.

The two particularly preferred support materials are polyethylene glycol and sodium acetate.

A second particularly preferred method comprises the following steps:

• i) preparing a melt dispersion comprising sodium acetate trihydrate as a continuous phase and at least one solid as a disperse phase in a first container;
• ii) mixing the melt dispersion from step i) with at least one perfume, wherein (1) the melt dispersion is transferred to a subsequent container and mixed therein with at least one perfume, or (2) the at least one perfume continuously into the outlet stream of the first Container is admixed;

• iv) solidifying the drops of the mixture on the steel strip to solid fusible bodies, characterized in that in step iii) the fusible bodies are formed and cooled on a cooling surface, wherein a steel strip is used as the cooling surface and the cooling surface is acted upon by a release agent.

As stated, in addition to the at least one support material, the melt dispersion to be produced in step i) comprises at least one solid, for example a filler. To ensure that this at least one solid in the desired particle size is introduced into the first container, it may be advantageous if the first container for this purpose is preceded by at least one screening device, which passes through the at least one solid before entering the first container is introduced. Consequently, according to some embodiments, the method described herein is characterized in that the at least one solid in step i) preceding step b) passes through at least one screening device. According to some embodiments, the method described herein is characterized in that the at least one solid is selected from the group consisting of polysaccharides, such as starch, in particular corn starch, silicas, such as fumed silica, silicates, in particular alkali metal silicates, sulfates, in particular alkali metal sulfates, such as sodium sulfate , Phosphates, in particular alkali metal phosphates, such as pentasodium or Pentakaliumtriphosphat, halides and carbonates, especially alkali metal carbonates, such as sodium carbonate.

The incorporation of solids into the melt dispersion facilitates i.a. the separation of the molded enamel body from the cooling surface.

The at least one solid may be used in an amount of 0.01 to 30% by weight, preferably 1 to 20% by weight, based on the total weight of the fused bodies. The at least one solid has a melting temperature which is above the melting temperature of the carrier material and the temperature prevailing in the described process so as to provide a melt dispersion.

As also previously noted, another advantage of the method as described herein is that the aesthetics employed have a relatively short residence time at elevated temperatures, i.e., temperatures corresponding to the melting temperature of the particular support material. Since the fragrance and color component is temperature sensitive, a low residence time at elevated temperatures can improve the fragrance and color quality of said component, thereby providing a superior end product. According to the present method, this advantage is ensured by the fragrance and / or color component comes into contact with the molten material only immediately before the forming.

According to some embodiments, the method described herein is further characterized in that by mixing the subsequent container or conduit in which the melt dispersion prepared in step i) is mixed with the at least one esthetic (and optionally further components) has comparatively small capacity. In this way, in the case of a plant standstill, only relatively small amounts of fragrance are temperature damaged by excessively long residence at elevated temperatures and consequently only small amounts of waste material are formed. In particular, the following container used in step ii), as described herein, has a comparatively small capacity if its capacity is a maximum of 1500 l, preferably a maximum of 1300 l, in particular a maximum of 1000 l, most preferably a maximum of 200 l. According to some embodiments, the method described herein is characterized in that the container of step ii) is a static or dynamic mixer with a capacity of ≤200 l or a stirred tank with a capacity of ≤1200 l.

Another component of the enamel bodies prepared as described herein is at least one esthetic. Preferred aesthetics are the fragrances and dyes.

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.

Particularly preferred is the use of water-soluble dyes, with water-soluble polymer dyes being used with very particular preference.

The most preferred dyes include Acid Blue 3, Acid Yellow 23, Acid Red 33, Acid Violet 126, Liquitint Yellow LP, Liquitint Cyan 15, Liquitint Blue HP and Liquitint Blue MC.

The proportion by weight of the dye in the melted body composition is preferably 0.001 to 0.5% by weight, preferably 0.002 to 0.2% by weight.

Both the melt dispersion to be prepared in step i) and in step ii) may, in addition to the components already mentioned, comprise further ingredients. Suitable additional ingredients may, for example and without limitation, be selected from the group consisting of fillers, pearlescers, skin care compounds, fabric care compounds and bittering agents.

According to some embodiments, the process described herein is characterized in that the fabric care compound is selected from fabric softening compounds, silicone oils, anti redeposition agents, optical brighteners, grayness inhibitors, anti-shrinkage agents, anti-crease agents, color transfer inhibitors, antimicrobial agents, germicides, fungicides, antioxidants, Antistatic agents, ironing aids, repellents and impregnating agents, swelling and anti-slip agents, UV absorbers and mixtures thereof.

According to some embodiments, the method described herein is characterized in that the fabric care compound is a fabric softening compound, preferably selected from polysiloxanes, fabric softening clays, cationic polymers, and mixtures thereof.

As also previously stated, in various embodiments, the melted body composition prepared as described herein may further comprise at least one fabric conditioning 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 fuser composition is advantageous because it not only exhibits a softening effect but also enhances the perfume impression on the wash. The use of softening clays as a fabric care compound in the melted body composition is advantageous since they additionally have a water-softening effect and so for example limescale deposits on the wash can be prevented. In order to achieve optimum performance, it may be preferred that a fusible composition contain a combination of at least two fabric care compounds.

When the fused-state composition prepared 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 enamel 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, a solid fused-state composition prepared as described herein 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 in order to be able to develop their full potential. Furthermore, this solid fuser composition is simpler and easier to handle than liquid compositions, as there are no drops left on the edge of the bottle which result in subsequent storage of the bottle in edges on the substrate or in unsightly deposits in the area of the closure. The same is true in the event that some of the enamel composition is accidentally spilled during dosing. The spilled composition can also be removed easier and cleaner.
