Description

Gegenstand der Erfindung sind Aufhellerpräparationen in fester oder flüssiger Form, die einen kationischen optischen Aufheller, ein anionisches Tensid und gegebenenfalls weitere Zusätze enthalten mit Ausnahme solcher Präparationen, die durch Schmelzformierung gewonnen werden.The invention relates to brightener preparations in solid or liquid form which contain a cationic optical brightener, an anionic surfactant and optionally other additives, with the exception of those preparations which are obtained by melt formation.

Aus FR-A-2 243 994 (entspricht DE-A 2 442 423) sind nämlich bereits staubfreie, gut rieselfähige Präparationen von optischen Aufhellern bekannt, die man durch eben diese Schmelzformierung von an sich beliebigen Aufhellern in Gegenwart von Trägermaterialien und gegebenenfalls einem Tensid erhält. Obwohl dor neben anionischen und nichtionischen Aufhellern auch kationische Typen beschrieben werden und als Tenside auch anionische Verbindungen genannt werden, fehlt jeglicher konkrete Hinweis, gerade die erfindungsgemäße Kombination von Aufhellerwirkstoff und Tensidart zu wählen.From FR-A-2 243 994 (corresponds to DE-A 2 442 423), dust-free, free-flowing preparations of optical brighteners are already known, which are obtained by this melt formation of brighteners of any kind in the presence of carrier materials and optionally a surfactant . Although cationic types are also described in addition to anionic and nonionic brighteners and anionic compounds are also mentioned as surfactants, there is no concrete indication that it is precisely the combination of brightener active ingredient and type of surfactant according to the invention that is to be selected.

Im übrigen sind für das Gelingen der Schemelzformierung naturgemäß die Anwendung relativ hoher Temperaturen und der Einsatz großer Mengen Trägermaterial (bezogen auf die Wirkstoffmenge) erforderlich, so daß mit Zersetzungserscheinungen an Träger und Aufheller sowie mit starken Umweltbelastungen gerechnet werden muß.In addition, the use of relatively high temperatures and the use of large amounts of carrier material (based on the amount of active ingredient) are naturally necessary for the successful formation of the stool, so that decomposition phenomena on the carrier and brightener as well as severe environmental pollution must be expected.

Erfindungsgemäß einsetzbare kationische optische Aufheller sind in der Literatur in großer Zahl beschrieben. Bevorzugt sind solche der allgemeinen Formel

Figure imgb0001
worin

  • X = Triazolyl-Rest
  • Y = Cumarinyl- oder Benzofuranyl-Rest
  • Z = am N-Atom quaternierter heteroaromatischer Rest
  • An° = Anion

    Figure imgb0006
    Particularly preferred brighteners are DE-A-2 821 116, DE-A-2 040 189 and DE-A-1 670 999 described in the following references.

Als anionische Tenside kommen u.a. solche in Betracht, wie sie in der DE-A-2 257 945 beschrieben sind. Beispielhaft seien genannt:

  • Sulfatierte Alkylenoxidaddukte, sulfatierte partiell veresterte mehrwertige Alkohole, Alkylsulfonat, Natriumdialkylsulfosuccinate, Alkylbenzolsulfonate, Kondensationsprodukte aus Naphthalinsulfonsäuren oder Ditolylethersulfonäuren mit Formaldehyd, Ligninsulfonate und Oxyligninsulfonate, oder Kondensationsprodukte aus Kresol, 2-Napthol-6-sulfonsäure, Formaldehyd und Schwefelsäure: Bevorzugt sind Tenside mit Dispergiermitteleigenschaften, wie die vorstehend genannten Ligninderivate und Formaldehydkondensationsprodukte.
Suitable anionic surfactants include those described in DE-A-2 257 945. Examples include:
  • Sulfated alkylene oxide adducts, sulfated partially esterified polyhydric alcohols, alkyl sulfonate, sodium dialkyl sulfosuccinates, alkyl benzene sulfonates, condensation products from naphthalenesulfonic acids or ditolyl ether sulfonic acids with formaldehyde, ligninsulfonates and oxyligninsulfonates, or condensation products from cresol, 2-naphthol-6-sulfonic acid, formaldehyde and sulfuric acid: surfactants with dispersant properties, such as the above-mentioned lignin derivatives and formaldehyde condensation products, are preferred.

Die anionischen Tenside können in Form de freien Säure oder in Form ihrer wasserlöslichen Salze eingesetzt werden.The anionic surfactants can be used in the form of the free acid or in the form of their water-soluble salts.

Weitere übliche Zusätze sind beispielsweise: anorganische Salze, wie NaCI, Na2S04; Salze organischer Säuren, z.B. CH3COONa, oder gut wasserlösliche organische Verbindungen, wie z.B. s-Caprolactam, Zucker, u.a.Other common additives are, for example: inorganic salts, such as NaCl, Na 2 S0 4 ; Salts of organic acids, for example CH 3 COONa, or readily water-soluble organic compounds, such as, for example, s-caprolactam, sugar, etc.

Die Konzentration des kationischen optischen Aufhellers in der vorzugsweise flüssigen wässrigen Präparation liegt im Bereich von 1-10%, die der anionischen Tenside von 3―40% und die der weiteren Zusätze ebenfalls von 3-40%.The concentration of the cationic optical brightener in the preferably liquid aqueous preparation is in the range from 1-10%, that of the anionic surfactants from 3―40% and that of the further additives likewise from 3-40%.

Die Herstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Aufhellerpräparationen erfolgt dadurch, daß die kationischen optischen Aufheller zusammen mit den anionischen Tensiden und ggf. den weiteren Zusätzen in wäßrigem Medium homogenisiert und ggf. unter Erwärmung in Lösung gebracht werden.The brightener preparations according to the invention are produced by homogenizing the cationic optical brighteners together with the anionic surfactants and possibly the other additives in an aqueous medium and, if necessary, dissolving them with heating.

Die Lösung kann ggf. filtriert werden, um noch ungelöste Bestandteile oder Verunreinigungen abzutrennen. Die Homogenisierung erfolgt nach bekannten Verfahren mit z.B. Schnellrühren, Rotor-Stator-Mühlen, Dissolvern oder ähnlichen Geräten.If necessary, the solution can be filtered in order to separate undissolved constituents or impurities. The homogenization is carried out according to known methods with e.g. Rapid stirring, rotor-stator mills, dissolvers or similar devices.

Wird eine fest Präparation gewünscht, so können die flüssigen Präparationen mit bekannten Trocknungsverfahren getrocknet werden.If a solid preparation is desired, the liquid preparations can be dried using known drying processes.

Die erfindungsgemäßen Aufhellerpräparate eignen sich hervorragend zur Herstellung von Färbeflotten zum Weißtönen von Polyacrylnitrilfasern nach dem Ausziehverfahren, vorzugsweise mit einer im selben Bad durchgeführten Bleiche des Fasermaterials, beispielsweise mit Natriumchlorit.The brightener preparations according to the invention are outstandingly suitable for the production of dyeing liquors for whitening polyacrylonitrile fibers by the exhaust process, preferably with a bleaching of the fiber material carried out in the same bath, for example with sodium chlorite.
