Abstract

The present invention relates to detergents for manual or machine cleaning and / or care of textiles which contain at least one pheromone and / or at least one aphrodisiac fragrance. The invention also relates to the use of such agents for the sexual stimulation of persons upon contact with textiles which have been treated with this detergent.

Description

The present invention relates to detergents for manual or machine cleaning and / or care of textiles which contain at least one pheromone and / or at least one aphrodisiac fragrance. The invention also relates to the use of such agents for the sexual stimulation of persons upon contact with textiles which have been treated with this detergent.

The laundry detergents and care products available on the market are usually perfumed. It is not only the product's own scent itself that influences the scent quality of the product, i.e. the quality and intensity of the scent that is transferred to the textile article to be cleaned or cared for, properties that positively influence the consumer's purchase decision.

Not only the subjective perception of the consumer himself is considered relevant, but also the impression that the scent attached to the textiles cleaned or cared for with the appropriate means exerts on other people in the direct vicinity of the consumer. In other words, a scented textile should, if possible, leave the most positive impression possible not only on the consumer himself, but also on other people, i.e. on people in the consumer's environment. It is furthermore desirable that the impression that the scent applied to the textile leaves on other people, which is as positive as possible, is transferred to the consumer himself, that is, because of the scent perceived on the textile of the consumer, the latter is positively noticed and / or remembered by others remain.

This problem is solved by the use of pheromones and / or aphrodisiac fragrances in laundry detergents and care products.

A first subject of the present invention is therefore a detergent for manual or machine cleaning and / or care of textiles, containing at least one pheromone and / or at least one aphrodisiac fragrance.

In a further aspect, the invention also relates to the use of such a detergent for the sexual stimulation of persons upon contact with textiles which have been treated with this detergent.

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. Each feature from one aspect of the invention can be used in any other aspect of the invention.

The subject matter of the invention includes all conceivable types of solid and liquid detergents and combination products thereof, both concentrates and agents to be used undiluted, for use on a commercial scale, in the washing machine or for hand washing. The detergents within the scope of the invention also include washing auxiliaries which are added to the actual detergent in manual or machine washing in order to achieve a further effect. Furthermore, laundry detergents in the context of the invention also include textile pretreatment and aftertreatment agents, i.e. those agents with which the item of laundry is brought into contact before the actual washing, for example to loosen stubborn dirt, and also those agents that are used in a step following the actual textile washing give the items to be washed further desirable conditioning properties such as a pleasant feel, freedom from creasing or low static charge.

"At least one" as used herein includes, but is not limited to, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and more. In relation to an ingredient, the specification refers to the type of ingredient and not to the absolute number of molecules. “At least one surfactant” thus means, for example, at least one type of surfactant, i.e. that one type of surfactant or a mixture of several different surfactants can be meant. Together with weight information, the information relates to all compounds of the specified type that are contained in the composition / mixture, i.e. that the composition does not contain any further compounds of this type beyond the specified amount of the corresponding compounds.

Unless otherwise stated, all percentages are percentages by weight. Numeric ranges specified in the format “from x to y” include the stated values. If several preferred numerical ranges are given in this format, it is understood that all ranges resulting from the combination of the various endpoints are also recorded.

“Approximately” or “approximately”, as used herein in connection with a numerical value, refers to the numerical value ± 10%, preferably ± 5%.

If reference is made here to molar masses, these details always relate to the number-average molar mass M _n , unless explicitly stated otherwise. The number average of the molar mass can be determined, for example, by means of gel permeation chromatography (GPC) according to DIN 55672-1: 2007-08 with THF as the eluent. The weight average molar mass M _w can also be determined by means of GPC, as described for M _n .

Whenever alkaline earth metals are mentioned in the following as counterions for monovalent anions, this means that the alkaline earth metal is of course only present in half the amount of substance - sufficient to balance the charge - as the anion.

“Liquid”, as used in the context of the present invention, denotes all flowable compositions (at 20 ° C., 1.013 bar), including gels and paste-like compositions, and also non-Newtonian liquids that have a flow limit.

“Solid”, as used herein, in the context of the present invention denotes a powder, granulate, extrudate or compact composition.

“Phosphate-free” and “phosphonate-free”, as used herein, means that the composition in question is essentially free of phosphates or phosphonates, ie in particular phosphates or phosphonates in quantities of less than 0.1% by weight, preferably less than 0 .01% by weight, based on the respective composition.

An agent according to the invention can be a one-component agent or a multicomponent agent. In the context of the present invention, the term “one-component agent” denotes a detergent which consists of only one single component. The term “multicomponent agent” as used herein, on the other hand, denotes a detergent which is composed of at least two components. It is preferred that the individual components of a multicomponent agent according to the invention are spatially separated from one another.

The term “spatially separated” in relation to the components of the agent, as used herein, means that the individual components cannot come into contact with one another before the agent is used. Usually, the agent is provided in a multi-chamber packaging, such as a bottle, tube or pouch, in particular a two-chamber bottle or a two-chamber pouch, with each individual component being separate from the other component (s) in a separate chamber.

The spatial separation of individual components of the agent makes it possible, on the one hand, to separate incompatible ingredients from one another and, on the other hand, to offer several different components of the agent in combination, which are used at different times.

In this context, the term “component” denotes a part of the detergent which can be distinguished from any other component of the detergent based on one or more features, for example the type and / or amount of its ingredients, physical properties, external appearance, etc. Individual components of the agent can be present in liquid form, as defined herein, or else in solid form, as defined herein, and advantageously spatially separated from one another.

A detergent according to the invention comprises at least one pheromone and / or at least one aphrodisiac fragrance.

The term “pheromone” as used in the context of the present invention is understood to mean a substance which, through secretion and peripheral chemoreception, can function as a chemical means of communication between members of the same species. In mammals, pheromones are usually sensed by receptors in the vomeronasal organ of the nose. Often times, pheromones affect development, reproduction, and related behaviors. Pheromones, as described herein, can cause a change in the human hypothalamus function, whereby certain behaviors and / or physiology of an individual controlled by the hypothalamus can be changed. In the context of the present invention, the term "pheromones" particularly refers to Sex attractants and / or aphrodisia capheromones, in particular sex attractants and aphrodisia capheromones, which produce a corresponding effect in humans. In the context of the present invention, the term “sex stimulant” denotes a pheromone which causes / can cause the “attraction” of sexual partners, and the term “aphrodisiac capheromone” denotes a pheromone which causes / can cause sexual stimulation in an individual.

In order to be perceptible, an odoriferous substance must be volatile, with the molecular weight also playing an important role in addition to the nature of the functional groups and the structure of the chemical compound. Most fragrances, for example, have molar masses of up to about 200 Dalton, while molar masses of 300 Dalton and above are more of an exception. Due to the different volatility of odoriferous substances, the smell of a perfume or fragrance composed of several odoriferous substances changes during evaporation, whereby the olfactory impressions are classified as “top note”, “middle note” or “body”. and “base note” (end note or dry out). Analogous to the description in the international patent publication WO 2016/200761 A2 top, heart and base notes can be determined based on their vapor pressure (using the in the WO 2016/200761 can be determined as follows:

Of course, the at least one fragrance with an aphrodisiac effect and any other fragrances, as defined above, can also be present in combination.

It may be desirable to keep sensitive beneficial agents / active ingredients, such as perfumes and fragrances, as described above, spatially separated from other constituents of the detergent until they are used. An elegant method for incorporating such sensitive, chemically or physically incompatible or volatile ingredients consists in the use of microcapsules in which these ingredients are enclosed in a stable manner for storage and transport and from which they are released mechanically, chemically, thermally or enzymatically for or during use .

In a preferred embodiment, the at least one pheromone and / or the at least one aphrodisiac fragrance, as defined above, and optionally also other components, such as additional fragrances and active ingredients that improve the feel of the skin, are completely or partially incorporated into microcapsules.

"Microcapsule" as used herein refers to capsules with a core-shell morphology on the micrometer scale that have a capsule shell that completely encloses a core. "Completely encloses" or "completely surrounds", as used herein in relation to the microcapsules, means that the core is completely surrounded by the shell, i.e. in particular not embedded in a matrix in such a way that it is exposed at one point. It is furthermore preferred that the capsule shell is designed in such a way that the release of the content is controlled, i.e. the content is not spontaneously released in an uncontrolled manner independently of a release stimulus. For this reason, the capsule shell is preferably substantially impermeable to the encapsulated content. “Essentially impermeable”, as used in this context, means that the contents of the capsule or individual ingredients cannot spontaneously penetrate the shell, but are only released by opening the capsule or optionally via a diffusion process that takes place over a longer period of time can. The core can be solid, liquid and / or gaseous, but is preferably solid and / or liquid. The microcapsules are preferably essentially spherical and have a diameter in the range from 0.01 to 1000 μm, in particular 0.1 to 500 μm. The capsule shell and the capsule core consist of different materials, in particular the capsule shell is preferably solid under standard conditions (20 ° C., 1013 mbar), and the core is preferably solid and / or liquid, in particular liquid.

As a capsule material for microcapsules suitable in the context of the present invention, very generally, for. B. high molecular weight compounds of animal or vegetable origin, z. B. protein compounds (gelatin, albumin, casein), cellulose derivatives (methyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate, cellulose nitrate, carboxymethyl cellulose) and especially synthetic polymers (e.g. polyamides, polyolefins, polyesters, polyurethanes, epoxy resins, silicone resins and condensation products of carbonyl and compounds containing NH groups) can be used. Specifically, the shell material can be selected, for example, from polyacrylates; Polyethylene; Polyamides; Polystyrenes; Polyisoprenes; Polycarbonates; Polyesters; Polyureas; Polyurethanes; Polyolefins; Polysaccharides; Epoxy resins; Vinyl polymers; Urea cross-linked with formaldehyde or glutaraldehyde; Melamine cross-linked with formaldehyde; Gelatin-polyphosphate coacervates, optionally crosslinked with glutaraldehyde; Gelatin-gum arabic coacervates; Silicone resins; polyamines reacted with polyisocyanates; acrylate monomers polymerized by free radical polymerization; Silk; Wool; Gelatin; Cellulose; Proteins; and mixtures and copolymers of the foregoing. Polyacrylates, polyethylene, polyamides, polystyrenes, polyisoprenes, polycarbonates, polyesters, polyureas, polyurethanes, polyolefins, epoxy resins, vinyl polymers and urea and / or melamine crosslinked with formaldehyde or glutaraldehyde are particularly preferred.

For the production of suitable microcapsules, the known microencapsulation processes are suitable in principle, in which z. B. the encapsulation of the phase to be encapsulated by sheathing with film-forming polymers (such as, for example, mentioned above), which are deposited on the material to be enveloped after emulsification and coacervation or interfacial polymerization. In relation to the present invention, the phase to be encapsulated is a benefit agent composition, preferably a fragrance composition, usually in the form of a perfume oil. In various embodiments, such a benefit agent composition comprises in particular a pheromone, as defined above, and / or at least one fragrance with an aphrodisiac effect, as defined above.

The capsules can release the encapsulated benefit agents through various mechanisms. In various embodiments of the present invention, for example, capsules which have a mechanically stable capsule shell, but which are then due to one or more environmental influences, such as a change in temperature or the ionic strength or the pH of the surrounding medium, for the agents contained becomes permeable, can be used. Stable capsule wall materials through which the at least one beneficial agent, for example a perfume oil and possibly further beneficial agents, can diffuse over time are also possible. The capsules can release the at least one beneficial agent contained, preferably when the pH value or the ionic strength of the environment changes, when the temperature changes, when exposed to light, through diffusion and / or when subjected to mechanical stress.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the capsules are fragile, that is, they can release entrapped agents due to mechanical stress, such as friction, pressure or shear stress, which ruptures the shell of the capsules. In another embodiment, the capsule is thermally labile, that is, trapped substances can be released when the capsules have a temperature of at least 70 ° C, preferably at least 60 ° C, preferably at least 50 ° C and in particular at least 40 ° C is exposed.

In a further preferred embodiment, the capsule for the enclosed benefit agent (s) can become transparent after exposure to radiation of a certain wavelength, preferably through exposure to sunlight.

It is also possible that the capsules are fragile and at the same time thermally unstable and / or unstable with respect to radiation of a certain wavelength.

Suitable microcapsules can be water-soluble and / or water-insoluble, but they are preferably water-insoluble capsules. The water-insolubility of the capsules has the advantage that these washing, cleaning or other treatment applications can survive and are thus able to only release the at least one beneficial agent after the aqueous washing, cleaning or treatment process, for example during drying by a mere increase in temperature or by solar radiation or, in particular, when the surface is rubbing.

Water-insoluble capsules which are broken open by friction are particularly preferred.

The term “friable” or “frictionally breakable” capsules means in particular those capsules which, when they adhere to a surface treated with them (e.g. textile surface), can be opened or broken by mechanical rubbing or pressure, so that the content is released only results as a result of a mechanical action, for example when you dry your hands with a towel on which such capsules are deposited.

Advantageously usable, friable capsules can have mean diameters d 50 of <250 μm, preferably in the range from 1 to 100 μm, preferably between 3 and 95 μm, in particular between 4 and 90 μm, for example between 5 and 80 μm, for example between 5 and 40 µm. The d 50 value indicates the diameter which results when 50% by weight of the capsules have a smaller diameter and 50% by weight of the capsules have a larger diameter than the established d 50 value. It is further preferred that the d ₉₀ value of the particle size distribution of the microcapsules is <70 μm, preferably <60 μm, particularly preferably <50 μm. The d ₉₀ value of the particle size distribution is the value at which 90% of all particles are smaller and 10% of the particles are larger than this value.

The shell of the capsules surrounding the core or (filled) cavity preferably has an average thickness in the range between approximately 50 and 500 nm, preferably between approximately 100 nm and approximately 250 nm specified ranges regarding the mean diameter and regarding the average thickness.

The d 50 value indicates the diameter which results when 50% by weight of the capsules have a smaller diameter and 50% by weight of the capsules have a larger diameter than the determined d ₅₀ value. It is further preferred that the d ₉₀ value of the particle size distribution of the microcapsules is <70 μm, preferably <60 μm, particularly preferably <50 μm. The d ₉₀ value of the particle size distribution is the value at which 90% of all particles are smaller and 10% of the particles are larger than this value.

The diameter of the capsules or the particle size of the microcapsules can be determined using customary methods. It can be determined, for example, with the aid of dynamic light scattering, which can usually be carried out on dilute suspensions containing e.g. 0.01 to 1% by weight of capsules. It can also be done by evaluating light microscopic or electron microscopic images of capsules.

In various embodiments, a microcapsule according to the invention has an average diameter d 50 of approximately 1 to 80 μm, preferably approximately 5 to 40 μm, in particular approximately 20 to 35 μm, for example approximately 22 to approximately 33 μm.

The wall material of the microcapsules preferably comprises polyurethanes, polyolefins, polyamides, polyesters, polysaccharides, epoxy resins, silicone resins and / or polycondensation products made from carbonyl compounds and compounds containing NH groups. This corresponds to a preferred embodiment of the invention. For example, melamine-urea-formaldehyde microcapsules or melamine-formaldehyde microcapsules or urea-formaldehyde microcapsules can preferably be used. Microcapsules based on melamine-formaldehyde resins are particularly preferred.

The general procedure in microcapsule production as such has long been well known to those skilled in the art. Particularly suitable processes for producing microcapsules are, in principle, for. Am U.S. 3,516,941 , in U.S. 3,415,758 or in EP 0 026 914 A1 described. The latter describes, for example, the production of microcapsules by acid-induced condensation of melamine-formaldehyde precondensates and / or their C1-C4-alkyl ethers in water in which the hydrophobic material forming the capsule core is dispersed, in the presence of a protective colloid.

In some embodiments, a detergent according to the invention is in the form of a detergent concentrate. Detergent concentrates are known in the prior art and expressly fall under the subject matter of the present invention.

The builders that can generally be used include in particular the aminocarboxylic acids and their salts, zeolites, silicates, carbonates, organic (co) builders and - where there are no ecological prejudices against their use - also the phosphates. According to preferred embodiments, however, the agents according to the invention are phosphate-free.

For example, crystalline layered silicates of the general formula NaMSi _x O _{2x + 1} . y H ₂ O can be used, in which M is sodium or hydrogen, x is a number from 1.9 to 22, preferably from 1.9 to 4, particularly preferred values for x being 2, 3 or 4, and y being a number from 0 to 33, preferably from 0 to 20. The crystalline layered silicates of the formula NaMSi _x O _{2x + 1} · y H ₂ O are sold, for example, by Clariant GmbH (Germany) under the trade name Na-SKS. Examples of these silicates are Na-SKS-1 (Na ₂ Si ₂₂ O ₄₅ * × H ₂ O, Kenyaite), Na-SKS-2 (Na ₂ Si ₁₄ O ₂₉ * × H ₂ O, magadiite), Na-SKS -3 (Na ₂ Si ₈ O ₁₇ * x H ₂ O) or Na-SKS-4 (Na ₂ Si ₄ O ₉ * x H ₂ O, macatite). _{Crystalline sheet silicates of the formula NaMSi x} O _{2x + 1} are particularly suitable for the purposes of the present invention. y H ₂ O, in which x is 2. In particular, both ß- and δ-sodium disilicates are Na ₂ Si ₂ O ₅ · y H ₂ O and, furthermore, above all Na-SKS-5 (α-Na ₂ Si ₂ O ₅ ), Na-SKS-7 (ß-Na ₂ Si ₂ O ₅ , Natrosilit), Na-SKS-9 (NaHSi ₂ O ₅ · H ₂ O), Na-SKS-10 (NaHSi ₂ O ₅ · 3 H ₂ O, Kanemite), Na-SKS-11 ( t-Na ₂ Si ₂ O ₅ ) and Na-SKS-13 (NaHSi ₂ O ₅ ), but in particular Na-SKS-6 (δ-Na ₂ Si ₂ O ₅ ) is preferred.

It is also possible to use amorphous sodium silicates with a Na ₂ O: SiO ₂ module of 1: 2 to 1: 3.3, preferably 1: 2 to 1: 2.8 and in particular 1: 2 to 1: 2.6, which are preferably delayed in dissolution and have secondary washing properties. The delay in dissolution compared with conventional amorphous sodium silicates can be brought about in various ways, for example by surface treatment, compounding, compaction / compression or by overdrying. In the context of this invention, the term “amorphous” is understood to mean that the silicates in X-ray diffraction experiments do not provide sharp X-ray reflections, as are typical for crystalline substances, but at most one or more maxima of the scattered X-rays that have a width of several degree units of the diffraction angle , cause.

In the context of the present invention, it is preferred that this (s) silicate (s), preferably alkali metal silicates, particularly preferably crystalline or amorphous alkali metal disilicates, in the agents in amounts of 1 to 40% by weight, preferably from 2 to 35% by weight. -% each based on the weight of the agent, are included.

The agents can in particular also contain phosphonates as a further builder. A hydroxyalkane and / or aminoalkane phosphonate is preferably used as the phosphonate compound. Among the hydroxyalkane phosphonates, 1-hydroxyethane-1,1-diphosphonate (HEDP) is of particular importance. Ethylenediamine tetramethylene phosphonate (EDTMP), diethylenetriamine pentamethylene phosphonate (DTPMP) and their higher homologues are preferred as aminoalkanephosphonates. Phosphonates are contained in the agents preferably in amounts of 0.1 to 10% by weight, in particular in amounts of 0.5 to 8% by weight, based in each case on the total weight of the dishwashing detergent.

Other builders are the alkali carriers. Alkali carriers include, for example, alkali metal hydroxides, alkali metal carbonates, alkali metal hydrogen carbonates, alkali metal sesquicarbonates, the mentioned alkali silicates, alkali metasilicates, and mixtures of the aforementioned substances, whereby for the purposes of this invention the alkali carbonates, in particular sodium carbonate, sodium hydrogen carbonate or sodium sesquicarbonate can preferably be used. Due to their low chemical compatibility with some other detergent ingredients in comparison with other builder substances, the optional alkali metal hydroxides are preferably only used in small amounts, preferably in amounts below 10% by weight, preferably below 6% by weight, particularly preferably below 4% by weight .-% and in particular below 2 wt .-%, each based on the total weight of the agent, used. Agents which, based on their total weight, contain less than 0.5% by weight and in particular no alkali metal hydroxides are particularly preferred.

The use of carbonate (s) and / or hydrogen carbonate (s), preferably alkali metal carbonate (s), particularly preferably sodium carbonate, in amounts of from 2 to 50% by weight, preferably from 5 to 40% by weight and in particular, is particularly preferred from 7.5 to 30% by weight, based in each case on the weight of the agent.

In addition to their builder effect, the free acids typically also have the property of an acidifying component and thus also serve to set a lower and milder pH. Citric acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid, gluconic acid and any mixtures of these should be mentioned in particular.

Another important class of phosphate-free builders are aminocarboxylic acids and / or their salts. Particularly preferred representatives of this class are methylglycine diacetic acid (MGDA) or its salts and glutamine diacetic acid (GLDA) or its salts or ethylenediamine diacetic acid or its salts (EDDS).
