Products with reduced foaming are determined s ^r> especially for use in washing and winding, sometimes a limited foam cushioning sufficient while in other cases a stronger foam damping may be desired. Of particular practical importance are products which still foam in the medium temperature range up to around 65 ° C, but develop less and less foam when the temperature is increased (70-100 ° C).

A reduced foaming power is obtained much- · »· '. times with combinations of different types of surfactants, especially with combinations of synthetic ones anionic surfactants, especially from (1) sulfates and / or sulfonates or from (2) nonionics on the one hand and (3) soaps on the other hand. With combinations of the w components (1) and (2) or (1), (2) and (3), the foaming behavior can be influenced by the soaps used: in the case of soaps, preferably With saturated fatty acids with 12-18 C atoms, the foam suppression is less, while soaps from saturated fatty acid mixtures with 20-26, preferably 20-22, carbon atoms, the amount of which is 5-10 % By weight of the total amount of soap present in the surfactant combination can constitute a Stronger foam absorption, especially in the t> o higher temperature range, is achieved

The foaming power of the surfactants can also be by adding known, non-surfactant foam inhibitors. This may include Chlorine-containing N-alkylated aminotriazines, which are obtained by reacting 1 mole of cyanuric acid chloride with 2-3 mol of a mono- or dialkylamine with 6-20, preferably 8-18 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical receives. Aminotriazine or melamine derivatives, the propylene glycol or butylene glycol ether chains, have a similar effect The molecule may contain 10-100 such glycol residues. One obtains such Compounds, for example, by adding appropriate amounts of propylene and / or butylene oxide Aminotriazines, especially melamine. Preferred are e.g. Egg. the reaction products of 1 mole of melamine usable with at least 20 moles of propylene oxide or at least 10 moles of butylene oxide. As particularly good Products have proven to be effective which are obtained by adding 5-10 moles of propylene oxide to 1 mole Melamine and further addition of 10-50 mol of butylene oxide to this propylene oxide derivative.

Also other, non-surfactant, water-insoluble organic compounds, such as paraffins or haloparaffins with melting points below 100 ° C, aliphatic Cis to CUo ketones and aliphatic carboxylic acids, those in the acid or alcohol radical, optionally also in each of these two radicals, at least Ί8 Containing carbon atoms (e.g. triglycerides or fatty acid fatty alcohol esters) can be used, especially in combination made of anionic synthetic surfactants and soaps, use as foam inhibitors.

The non-surfactant foam inhibitors. will often only fully effective at temperatures at which they are in a liquid state, so that the Foam behavior of the products can be controlled in a similar way by choosing suitable foam inhibitors by choosing soaps made from fatty acids of suitable chain lengths.

If one combines foam stabilizers with temperature-dependent foam inhibitors, one obtains at good at lower temperatures, and the foaming weaker and weaker as the temperature approaches the cooking temperature Products.

As particularly low-foaming nonionics, which can be used both alone and in combination with anionic, Zwitterionic and nonionic surfactants can be used and the foaming power is better Addition products of propylene oxide to those described above are suitable to reduce foaming surfactants capillary-active polyethylene glycol ether and the Pluronic, Tetronic and also described above Ucon fluid types.

In the formula, Ri and R _{2 can} denote halogen atoms, alkoxyl groups, the amino group or residues of aliphatic aromatic or heterocyclic, primary or secondary amines and residues of aminosulfonic acids, aliphatic residues present in the above groups preferably 1-4 and in particular 2-4 C- Contain atoms, while the heterocyclic ring systems are mostly 5- or 6-membered rings. The radicals of aniline, anthranilic acid or anilinesulfonic acid are preferred as aromatic amines. Healers derived from diaminostiibensulfonic acid are mostly used as cotton whiteners. The following products derived from the formula I are commercially available, where Ri represents the radical -NH-C ₆ H ₅ and / R2 can mean the following radicals:

-NH ₂ -NH-CH ₃

NH-CH ₂ -CH ₂ OH
-NH-CH ₂ -CH ₂ -O-CH ₃
-NH-CH ₂ -CH ₂ -CH ₂ -O-CH ₃

-N = (CH ₂ -CH ₂ OH) ₂ morpholines) -
-NH-C ₆ H ₅
-NH-C ₆ H ₄ -SO ₃ H -OCH ₃

Some of these brighteners are to be regarded as transition types to the polyamide brighteners in terms of fiber affinity, e.g. B. the brightener with Ri = -NH-CbH ₅ . The cotton lighteners of the diaminostilbene sulfonic acid type also include the compound 4,4'-bis (4-phenyl-vicinaltriazolyl-2 -) -silbene disulfonic acid-2,2 '.

The polyamide brighteners also include aliphatic ones or aromatic substituted aminocoumarins, e.g.

4 (e.g. 4-methyl-7-dimethylamino or 4-methyl-7-diethylaminocoumarin. The compounds 1- (benzimidazolyl-2 ') - 2- (N-hydroxyethyl-benzimidazoly! -2') - ethylene are also used as polyamide brighteners and l-N-ethyl-3-phenyl-7-diethylamino-carbostyril useful. They are brighter for polyester and polyamide fibers Compounds 2,5-di- (benzoxazolyl-2 ') -thiophene and 1,2-di- (5'-methyl-benzoxazolyl-2') -ethylene are suitable.

If the brighteners are used together with other components of the products according to the invention as aqueous

v) if a solution or paste is present and converted into a solid state by hot drying, it is advisable to incorporate organic complexing agents in amounts of at least 0.1, preferably 0.1-1% by weight of the solid products in order to stabilize the brighteners.

The enzymes to be used are usually a mixture of different enzymatic active ingredients. Depending on their effect, they are used as proteases, carbohydrases, esterases, lipases, oxidoreductases, Catalases, peroxidases, ureases, isomerases, lyases,

w) denotes transferases, desmolases or nucleases. Of particular interest are those from bacterial strains or fungi such as Bacillus subtilis and Streptomyces enzymatic agents obtained from griseus, in particular proteases or amylases. From Bacillus subtilis

Enzyme preparations are usually supplied by the manufacturers as aqueous solutions of the active ingredients or with additives of diluents brought onto the market as a powder. Sodium chloride, alkali. ..- tho-, pyro- or polyphosphates, tripolyphosphate in particular. Often the still moist enzyme preparations are brought with calcined ones Salts together, which then optionally agglomerate the existing particles to form larger ones Particles bind the water of crystallization and the enzymatic active ingredient.

The enzymatic active ingredients are available as a dry powder before, at normal room temperatures, liquid, paste-like and, if necessary, also solid, nonionic, preferably capillary-active, organic compounds, in particular those described above Use nonionics to bind the enzymes to the powders of detergents or laundry aids. To this For this purpose, a mixture of the respective product and the enzymatic product is preferably sprayed Active ingredient with the above-mentioned nonionic substances, or the enzyme preparation is dispersed in the said nonionic substance and combines this dispersion with the other components of the Product. If these remaining components of the product are solids, the dispersion can also be used the enzymatic active ingredients in the nonionic component on the other solid constituents spray on.

The enzymes, or combinations of enzymes with different effects, are generally in Amounts used so that the finished products have protease activities of 50-5000, preferably 100-2500 LVE / g and / or amylase activities of 20-5000, preferably 50-2000 SKBE / g and / or lipase activities from 2-1000, preferably 5-500 IU / g.

This information on the enzyme activities results from the activities of those enzyme preparations those on the day of registration for use in the detergent field from an economic point of view appear justifiable. From a chemical-technical point of view, the enzyme activities of the Preparations are increased as needed so that the activities in proteases and amylases z. B. to 5 times, with lipases z. B. can be increased up to ten times the maximum values given above. Therefore, in the future, preparations with high activities should be available that are also more economical In terms of use in the detergent sector, the enzyme activities can be increased as required.
