Description

The invention relates to an aqueous agent with a deodorant effect, the agent ent holding product, its use for deodorization of an object or a surface and a method for deodorization of an object or Surface.

The zinc salt of ricinoleic acid has been a highly effective desodo since the early 1970s active ingredient to remove unpleasant odors or prevent them Origin in the cosmetic field known. They have bactericidal properties However, zinc ricinoleates do not. Ricinoleates of other metals as well as metal salts of related higher hydroxylated fatty acids and also from resin acids such as the With the exception of the alkali metal salts, abietic acid has deodorizing properties without, however, achieving the effectiveness of the zinc ricinoleate.

The effect of zinc ricinoleate is based on quenching odors, i. H. chemical bond of smelling substances, so that these are no longer perceptible by sensors, and un differs in principle from other deodorising systems such as the odor-covering perfume or the odor (substance) destroying biocides. To Today's knowledge is the odorants, so-called osmogens, for example low molecular weight fatty acids, isovaleric acid, mercaptans, hydrogen sulfide, Ammonia and thioethers, which are usually good nucleophiles, through the zinc ricinoleate complexed and thus removed from the sensory perception. Important for that The mechanism of action is probably also the hydroxyl group of ricinoleic acid, which  Ricinoleate anion also available as a complex ligand in addition to the carboxylate group can provide.

Most perfumes are based on less nucleophilic fragrances, such as fragrances with aliphatic or aldehydic terpene systems, and therefore do not interact with Zinc ricinoleate. Zinc ricinoleate thus enables deodorization without undesirable Interference with an existing perfume system.

The metal salts of ricinoleic acid and related higher hydroxylated fatty acids as well as abietic acid and other resin acids are not clearly water-soluble, son only water miscible. Known clear formulations containing zinc ricinoleate Therefore either at least about a third of organic solvents such as etha nol and not more than 60 wt .-% water or only very small amounts of Zinc ricinoleate or very high amounts of solvents or surfactants.

Such a high solvent content is common in aerosol sprays, but otherwise in Spray products mostly undesirable because the products are more flammable and in Germany must be labeled accordingly in accordance with the Hazardous Substances Ordinance. A such labeling as flammable can, however, have an adverse effect by for example, discourages a potential user.

On the other hand, it is with spray products for the deodorization of rooms or objects the or surfaces of textile materials important that they have no noticeable back leave stands. Therefore, the content of ingredients such as solubilizers, the not evaporate like water and solvents, be as low as possible.

DE 17 92 074 A (Grillo-Werke) from 1971 for the first time discloses funds with Zinc ricinoleate as a deodorizing agent, the deodorization effect of Zu set of salts, e.g. B. zinc salts, or esters of other saturated or unsaturated ge wheel-numbered or odd-numbered hydroxylated fatty acids with 17 or more carbon atoms, for example salts and esters of trioxystearic acids, is supported synergistically.

DE 25 48 344 A1 (Dart Industries) from 1976 discloses the deodorization effect Samkeit of metal salts of a hydrolyzed unsaturated fatty acid, in particular of Metallic rinoleates. Metals from Group II of the Periodic Table of the Elements and rare earths such as cerium, lanthanum or neodymium are preferred. Especially highlighted is zinc ricinoleate.  

EP 0 303 212 B1 (Grillo-Werke) discloses hydrolyzed enadducts and Diels-Alder Adducts of ricin fatty acids and maleic anhydride as deodorising agents and as a solubilizer for zinc ricinoleate.

DE 38 08 114 A1 (Grillo-Werke) discloses deodorising active ingredient mixtures which Zinc ricinoleate and optionally the zinc salt of abietic acid and / or other zinc salts of other saturated or unsaturated hydroxylated fatty acids with 17 or more C- Atoms, partial esters of di- or polyhydroxyalkanes, mono- and disaccharides, polyes ethylene glycols or alkanolamines with the ene adducts of maleic anhydride at least monounsaturated carboxylic acids with a chain length of 10 to 25 Koh lenstoffatomen with an acid number of 10 to 140 and optionally amino and / or Ami Do compounds contain and in preparations with water contents of up to 50% by weight remain clearly dissolved.

DE 40 14 055 C2 (Grillo-Werke) discloses deodorising active ingredient mixtures which Zinc ricinoleate and optionally the zinc salt of abietic acid and / or other zinc salts of other saturated or unsaturated hydroxylated fatty acids with 17 or more C- Atoms, an ethoxylated fatty alcohol with a straight or branched alkyl chain and one Carbon number between 10 and 18 with less than 30 ethylene oxide units per molecule and contain a tertiary amine and with which water-containing deodorants with a Content of up to 60 wt .-% water can be produced, for example clear Pump spray solutions with at least 32.3% by weight ethanol (96%) and no more than 60 wt .-% water and 2.2 wt .-% of a deodorant mixture of active ingredients 50% by weight zinc ricinoleate, 35% by weight ethoxylated fatty alcohol and 15% by weight tertiary Amine. The pump spray solutions are clear, but because of the high ethanol content easily flammable and subject to labeling in Germany, what from the aforementioned Reasons is undesirable.

The object of the present invention was to provide a deodorant in the form of a be clear liquid even with high water content and low solvent content Semi note.

The invention relates to an agent with a deodorant effect, the (a) or several metal salts of an unbranched or branched, unsaturated or saturated ten, single or multiple hydroxylated fatty acid with at least 16 carbon atoms and / or a resin acid with the exception of the alkali metal salts, (b) one or more solvents  solution mediator, (c) up to 30% by weight of one or more water-soluble organic Contains solvent and (d) water.

The aqueous agent according to the invention is a clear solution and is characterized by a good deodorant effect, high storage stability and low, visually not perceptible residue formation. The combination of desodo according to the invention active ingredient, solubilizer and solvent and possibly complexing agent enables particularly efficient solubilization or stabilization of deodorization the active ingredient in the aqueous agent. Thus, for the clear incorporation of a be certain amount of deodorant required amount of non-volatile Ingredients are kept particularly low, making the formation undesirable Residues is minimized. In addition, the product does not grip hard or textile surfaces on, in particular it does not damage textile fibers. Another advantage of the remedy lies in its short drying time.
