A detergent composition for hard surfaces containing a fatty acid cyanamide, a secondary (non-cyanamide) surfactant and/or a water-soluble polymer.

Description

Die Acylcyanamide, insbesondere die Fettsäurecyanamide und ihre Eignung als seifenähnliche Netz- und Dispergiermittel sind bereits seit den dreißiger Jahren bekannt. So beschreiben die deutsche Patentschrift 708 428 und die britische Patentschrift 428 091 die Herstellung der Acylcyanamide und ein Verfahren zur Behandlung von Textilien mit diesen Substanzen.The acyl cyanamides, in particular the fatty acid cyanamides and their suitability as soap-like wetting and dispersing agents have been known since the 1930s. German patent 708 428 and British patent 428 091 describe the production of acylcyanamides and a process for treating textiles with these substances.

Bei der Entwicklung der modernen Reinigungsmittel für harte Oberflächen macht man von der Wirkungssteigerung, die bestimmte Tensidgemische und Tensid/Polymeren-Gemische im Vergleich zu den jeweiligen Einzelwirkstoffen zeigen, Gebrauch.-Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, hohe Reinigungsleistung mit schonender Oberflächenbehandlung und guter Hautverträglichkeit zu verbinden, da man den erwarteten Reinigungseffekt mit geringer Anwendungskonzentration und ohne Verwendung von stark alkalischen oder stark sauren Zusätzen erzielen kann. So verwendet man Gemische aus einem synthetischen anionischen Sulfonattensid, beispielsweise Alkylbenzolsulfonat, und einem synthetischen anionischen Sulfattensid, beispielsweise ein Fettalkoholpolyglykolethersulfat, als synergistisch wirksame Tensidkomponente in Geschirrspülmitteln. Auch Kombinationen von nichtionischen Tensiden und synthetischen anionischen Tensiden sind als die wirksamen Bestandteile von Reinigungsmitteln beschrieben worden, beispielsweise die Kombination aus ethoxylierten Diolen und Alkylbenzolsulfonat oder Alkansulfonat (deutsche Offenlegungsschrift 27 09 690). Eine weitere Wirkungssteigerung wird durch einen Zusatz von bestimmten wasserlöslichen Polymeren aus der Gruppe der Polyethylenglykole, Polyvinylalkohole, Polyvinylpyrrolidone, Celluloseether, Polysaccharide, Proteine und Polyacrylamide zu den Reinigungsmitteln auf Basis nichtionischer und/oder anionischer synthetischer Tenside erzielt, wobei bereits geringe Polymeren-Zusätze eine signifikante Wirkungssteigerung hervorrufen (deutsche Offenlegungsschriften 28 40 463 und 29 13 049).In the development of modern cleaning agents for hard surfaces, use is made of the increase in effectiveness which certain surfactant mixtures and surfactant / polymer mixtures show in comparison to the respective individual active ingredients. In this way it is possible to achieve high cleaning performance with gentle surface treatment and good skin tolerance to combine, since you can achieve the expected cleaning effect with a low application concentration and without the use of strongly alkaline or strongly acidic additives. For example, mixtures of a synthetic anionic sulfonate surfactant, for example alkylbenzenesulfonate, and a synthetic anionic sulfate surfactant, for example a fatty alcohol polyglycol ether sulfate, are used as the synergistically active surfactant component in dishwashing detergents. Combinations of nonionic surfactants and synthetic anionic surfactants are also the active ingredients of cleaning agents have been described, for example the combination of ethoxylated diols and alkylbenzenesulfonate or alkanesulfonate (German Offenlegungsschrift 27 09 690). A further increase in effectiveness is achieved by adding certain water-soluble polymers from the group of polyethylene glycols, polyvinyl alcohols, polyvinylpyrrolidones, cellulose ethers, polysaccharides, proteins and polyacrylamides to the cleaning agents based on nonionic and / or anionic synthetic surfactants, with even small additions of polymers being significant Increase effectiveness (German Offenlegungsschriften 28 40 463 and 29 13 049).

Es wurde nun gefunden, daß sich die Fettsäurecyanamide, insbesondere solche mit 8 bis 18 Kohlenstoffatomen im Fettsäurerest, in Form ihrer wasserlöslichen Salze in hervorragender Weise als tensidischer Wirkstoff zum Reinigen von harten Oberflächen und als Bestandteil von Reinigungsmitteln für harte Oberflächen eignen. Überraschenderweise führt der Einsatz der Fettsäurecyanamide zusammen mit einem weiteren synthetischen Tensid zu einer stark ausgeprägten Wirkungssteigerung; eine derartige Wirkungssteigerung tritt auch auf, wenn die Fettsäurecyanamide zusammen mit geringen Mengen an wasserlöslichen polymeren Substanzen eingesetzt werden, selbst wenn keine weiteren Tenside zugegen sind.It has now been found that the fatty acid cyanamides, in particular those having 8 to 18 carbon atoms in the fatty acid residue, in the form of their water-soluble salts are outstandingly suitable as a surfactant for cleaning hard surfaces and as a component of cleaning agents for hard surfaces. Surprisingly, the use of the fatty acid cyanamides together with another synthetic surfactant leads to a pronounced increase in activity; Such an increase in activity also occurs when the fatty acid cyanamides are used together with small amounts of water-soluble polymeric substances, even if no further surfactants are present.

Unter Mitteln für das Reinigen von harten Oberflächen werden feste, pulverförmige, pastenförmige und flüssige Mittel verstanden, die im Haushalt, in der Industrie und von gewerblichen Reinigungsbetrieben zur schonenden Reinigung verschmutzter Oberflächen verwendet werden. Neben den sogenannten Geschirrspülmitteln für die manuelle Reinigung von Geschirr werden somit Reinigungsmittel für harte Oberflächen aus Metall, lackiertem Holz, Kunststoff, keramischen Erzeugnissen wie Porzellan, Fliesen, Kacheln, Glas und dergleichen verstanden. Diese Reinigungsmittel lassen sich unverdünnt oder verdünnt anwenden, beispielsweise indem man sie auf ein feuchtes saugfähiges Tuch oder einem Schwamm aufbringt und damit die harten Oberflächen wischt und somit von Staub, Fett, Schmutz und Flecken reinigt, oder daß man die zu reinigenden Gegenstände in verdünnte wäßrige Lösungen der Reinigungsmittel eintaucht und mit einem Schwamm, einem Lappen oder einer Bürste bearbeitet. Dabei wird gewünscht, daß die Oberflächenbehandlung keine Reinigungsmittelflecken oder -streifen zurückläßt und keine Nachbehandlung mit klarem Wasser erfordert.Agents for cleaning hard surfaces are understood to mean solid, powder, paste and liquid agents which are used in the household, in industry and by commercial cleaning companies for the gentle cleaning of contaminated surfaces. In addition to the so-called dishwashing detergents for the manual cleaning of dishes, detergents for hard surfaces made of metal, painted wood, plastic, ceramic products such as porcelain, tiles, tiles, glass and the like are understood. These cleaning agents can be used undiluted or diluted, for example by applying them to a damp, absorbent cloth or a sponge and thus wiping the hard surfaces and thus cleaning them from dust, grease, dirt and stains, or by putting the objects to be cleaned into dilute aqueous solutions Immerse the cleaning agent solutions and work with a sponge, rag or brush. It is desired that the surface treatment does not leave any detergent stains or strips and does not require any post-treatment with clear water.

Die Fettsäurecyanamide werden zweckmäßigerweise in Form ihrer wasserlöslichen Salze, d. h. als Alkalimetallsalz, wie z. B. das Lithium-, Natrium-, Kaliumsalz oder als Ammonium- oder Alkanolammoniumsalz verwendet.The fatty acid cyanamides are advantageously in the form of their water-soluble salts, i.e. H. as an alkali metal salt, such as. B. the lithium, sodium, potassium salt or used as ammonium or alkanolammonium salt.

Die erfindungsgemäß verwendeten Fettsäurecyanamide lassen sich auch durch die folgende allgemeine Formel

wiedergeben, in der somit R der Fettalkyl/alkenylrest und Me⊕ das zugehörige Kation gemäß obiger Definition bedeuten.The fatty acid cyanamides used according to the invention can also be represented by the following general formula

represent, in which R the fatty alkyl / alkenyl radical and Me⊕ mean the associated cation as defined above.

Als weitere synthetische Tenside, die mit den Fettsäurecyanamiden eine unerwartete Wirkungssteigerung ergeben, eignen sich übliche synthetische Tenside vom Typ der anionischen, nichtionischen und amphoteren Tenside; diese werden im weiteren Verlauf der Beschreibung ausführlicher erläutert. Neben den synthetischen Tensiden können auch übliche Seifen, d. h. die oberflächenaktiven Alkali- und Alkanolaminsalze von Fettsäuren eingesetzt werden. Besonders bevorzugt sind Tensidkombinationen mit synthetischen anionischen Tensiden vom Typ der Sulfonat- und Sulfattenside.Conventional synthetic surfactants of the anionic, nonionic and amphoteric surfactant type are suitable as further synthetic surfactants, which give the fatty acid cyanamides an unexpected increase in activity; these will be explained in more detail later in the description. In addition to the synthetic surfactants, conventional soaps, e.g. H. the surface-active alkali and alkanolamine salts of fatty acids are used. Surfactant combinations with synthetic anionic surfactants of the sulfonate and sulfate surfactant type are particularly preferred.

Die genannten synthetischen Tenside werden im allgemeinen in Mengen von 1 bis 30 Gew.-% (bezogen auf das Reinigungsmittel in konzentrierter Form) zusammen mit den Fettsäurecyanamiden eingesetzt.The synthetic surfactants mentioned are generally used in amounts of 1 to 30% by weight (based on the cleaning agent in concentrated form) together with the fatty acid cyanamides.

Zu den wasserlöslichen organischen Polymeren, die in geringen Mengen, d. h. in Mengen von 0,01 bis 2 Gew.-% (bezogen auf das verwendete Reinigungsmittel in konzentrierter Form), eingesetzt werden, gehören die wasserlöslichen Polyethylenglykole mit einem Molgewicht zwischen 300 000 und 4 000 000; die wasserlöslichen Polyvinylalkohole mit Molgewichten von etwa 13 400 bis 250 000; die wasserlöslichen Polyvinylpyrrolidone mit Molgewichten im Bereich von 10 000 bis 1 000 000 sowie die wasserlöslichen Celluloseether, Polysaccharide, Proteine und Polyacrylamide, die mittlere Molekulargewichte von 5 000 bis 10 000 000, vorzugsweise 20 000 bis 2 000 000, aufweisen und außerdem durch eine Ladungsdichte von größer als 0 aber nicht größer als 0,5 gekennzeichnet sind. Diese erfindungsgemäß als reinigungsverstärkende Zusätze brauchbaren wasserlöslichen Polymeren werden ebenfalls im weiteren Verlauf der Beschreibung näher erläutert.The water-soluble organic polymers, which in small amounts, i.e. H. in amounts of 0.01 to 2% by weight (based on the cleaning agent used in concentrated form), the water-soluble polyethylene glycols with a molecular weight of between 300,000 and 4,000,000 belong; the water-soluble polyvinyl alcohols with molecular weights of about 13,400 to 250,000; the water-soluble polyvinylpyrrolidones with molecular weights in the range from 10,000 to 1,000,000 and the water-soluble cellulose ethers, polysaccharides, proteins and polyacrylamides, which have average molecular weights of 5,000 to 10,000,000, preferably 20,000 to 2,000,000, and also by a charge density of greater than 0 but not greater than 0.5 are marked. These water-soluble polymers which can be used according to the invention as cleaning-enhancing additives are also explained in more detail in the further course of the description.

Bei den erfindungsgemäß verwendeten Salzen der Fettsäurecyanamide handelt es sich um bei Raumtemperatur feste, farblose bis leicht gelbliche Substanzen von spröder bis wachsartiger Beschaffenheit. Sie erweichen bei höheren Temperaturen und schmelzen oberhalb 100 bis 150 °C. Die Fettsäurecyanamidsalze können aus Carbonsäurederivaten und Cyanamid mit nachfolgender Neutralisation durch geeignete Basen hergestellt werden (siehe deutsche Patentschrift 708 428 oder A. E. Kretov und A. P. Momsenko J. of Org. Chem. of the USSR 1 (1965), Seiten 1765 - 1767).Ein einfaches Herstellungsverfahren aus Salzen des Cyanamids und Carbonsäureestern ist in der deutschen Patentanmeldung P 32 02 213.1 beschrieben. Bei diesem Verfahren fallen die Fettsäurecyanamidsalze in wasserfreier Form an. Dies ist ein gegenüber herkömmlichen Tensiden bemerkenswerter Vorteil, der es möglich macht, auch pulverförmige Reinigungsmittel mit hohem Tensidgehalt zu formulieren. Neben der leichten Herstellbarkeit besitzen die Salze der Fettsäurecyanamide noch den Vorzug, daß ihre Herstellung aus nachwachsenden Rohstoffen, hier Fettsäurederivaten, und dem aus Kalkstickstoff leicht zugänglichen Cyanamid möglich ist. Damit verringert sich beim Einsatz dieser Tenside die Abhängigkeit von Rohstoffen auf Erdölbasis, wie dies z. B. beim Alkylbenzolsulfonat der Fall ist. Im übrigen sind die Fettsäurecyanamide wegen ihrer guten biologischen Abbaubarkeit und ihrer toxikologischen Unbedenklichkeit als ausgesprochen umweltfreundliche Verbindungen anzusehen. Bevorzugt verwendet werden die Natriumsalze der Fettsäurecyanamide, insbesondere diejenigen, die sich von C 12 - bis CI6 Fettsäuren ableiten. Diese Verbindungen können leicht aus Mononatriumcyanamid und den Methylestern natürlichen Fettsäuren und Fettsäuregemischen, wie z. B. Cocosfettsäuremethylester hergestellt werden.The salts of fatty acid cyanamides used according to the invention are colorless to slightly yellowish substances of brittle to waxy nature which are solid at room temperature. They soften at higher temperatures and melt above 100 to 150 ° C. The fatty acid cyanamide salts can be prepared from carboxylic acid derivatives and cyanamide with subsequent neutralization by means of suitable bases (see German patent specification 708 428 or AE Kretov and AP Momsenko J. of Org. Chem. Of the USSR 1 (1965), pages 1765-1767) Production process from salts of cyanamide and carboxylic acid esters is described in German patent application P 32 02 213.1. In this process, the fatty acid cyanamide salts are obtained in anhydrous form. This is a remarkable advantage over conventional surfactants, which makes it possible to formulate powdered cleaning agents with a high surfactant content. In addition to being easy to produce, the salts of fatty acid cyanamides also have the advantage that they can be produced from renewable raw materials, here fatty acid derivatives, and from cyanamide, which is easily accessible from calcium cyanamide. This reduces the dependency on petroleum-based raw materials when using these surfactants. B. is the case with alkylbenzenesulfonate. Moreover, the fatty acid cyanamides are to be regarded as extremely environmentally friendly compounds because of their good biodegradability and their toxicological harmlessness. The sodium salts of the fatty acid cyanamides are preferably used, in particular those derived from C 12 to C 16 fatty acids. These compounds can easily be obtained from monosodium cyanamide and the methyl esters of natural fatty acids and fatty acid mixtures, such as. B. Coconut fatty acid methyl ester.

Die erfindungsgemäß verwendeten Reinigungsmittel zeichnen sich aufgrund ihres Gehaltes an Fettsäurecyanamiden außerdem durch eine gute Hautverträglichkeit aus.The detergents used in accordance with the invention are also notable for good skin tolerance on account of their content of fatty acid cyanamides.

Bei der bevorzugten Verwendung der Fettsäurecyanamidsalze zusammen mit einem Tensid aus der Gruppe der synthetischen anionischen, nichtionischen und amphoteren Tenside liegt das Mengenverhältnis von Fettsäurecyanamidsalz und dem Co-Tensid im Bereich von 9 : 1 bis 1 : 9. Dabei enthalten die erfindungsgemäß eingesetzten Mittel im allgemeinen das Fettsäurecyanamidsalz in Mengen von 1 bis 90 Gew.-%.In the preferred use of the fatty acid cyanamide salts together with a surfactant from the group of synthetic anionic, nonionic and amphoteric surfactants, the quantitative ratio of fatty acid cyanamide salt and the co-surfactant is in the range from 9: 1 to 1: 9. The agents used according to the invention generally contain the fatty acid cyanamide salt in amounts of 1 to 90% by weight.

Bei der gemeinsamen Verwendung von Fettsäurecyanamidsalz und wasserlöslicher polymerer Substanz nach der obigen Definition wird das wasserlösliche Polymere bezogen auf die Menge an Fettsäurecyanamidsalz immer eindeutig im Unterschuß eingesetzt, wobei die Menge des wasserlösliehen Polymeren vorzugsweise nicht mehr als 1/5 und insbesondere nicht mehr als 1/10 der Menge des Fettsäurecyanamidsalzes beträgt.When fatty acid cyanamide salt and water-soluble polymeric substance are used together as defined above, the water-soluble polymer is always clearly used in deficit, based on the amount of fatty acid cyanamide salt, the amount of water-soluble polymer preferably not exceeding 1/5 and in particular not exceeding 1 / 10 of the amount of the fatty acid cyanamide salt.

Es folgen nun Erläuterungen zu den wesentlichen gemeinsam mit den Fettsäurecyanamidsalzen verwendeten Reinigungsmittelbestandteilen.There now follows explanations of the essential detergent components used together with the fatty acid cyanamide salts.

Als synthetische Aniontenside, die zusammen mit den Fettsäurecyanamidsalzen verwendet werden können, eignen sich insbesondere solche vom Typ der Sulfonate und Sulfate.Suitable synthetic anionic surfactants which can be used together with the fatty acid cyanamide salts are, in particular, those of the sulfonate and sulfate type.

Bei den Tensiden vom Sulfonattyp handelt es sich in erster Linie um die Alkylbenzolsulfonate mit C9-15 -Alkylgruppen und die Ester von α-Sulfofettsäuren, z. B. α-sulfonierten Methyl- oder Ethylester der hydrierten Kokos-, Palmkern- oder Talgfettsäuren. Weitere brauchbare Tenside vom Sulfonattyp sind die Alkansulfonate, die aus C 12 -C 18 -Alkanen durch Sulfochlorierung oder Sulfoxidation und anschließende Hydrolyse bzw. Neutralisation oder durch Bisulfitaddition an Olefine erhältlich sind, sowie die Olefinsulfonate, das sind Gemische aus Alken- und Hydroxyalkansulfonaten sowie Disulfonaten, wie man sie beispielsweise aus Monoolefinen mit end- oder innenständiger Doppelbindung durch Sulfonieren mit gasförmigem Schwefeltrioxid und anschließender alkalischer und saurer Hydrolyse der Sulfonierungsprodukte erhält.The surfactants of the sulfonate type are primarily the alkylbenzenesulfonates with C 9-15 alkyl groups and the esters of α-sulfofatty acids, e.g. B. α-sulfonated methyl or ethyl ester of hydrogenated coconut, palm kernel or tallow fatty acids. Other suitable surfactants of the sulfonate type are the alkane sulfonates obtained from C 12 - 18 are available alkanes by sulfochlorination or sulfoxidation and subsequent hydrolysis or neutralization or by bisulfite addition onto olefins C, and the olefin sulfonates, ie mixtures of alkene and hydroxyalkane sulfonates and disulfonates as obtained for example from monoolefins with a terminal or internal double bond by sulfonation with gaseous sulfur trioxide and subsequent alkaline and acidic hydrolysis of the sulfonation products.

Besonders geeignete Tenside vom Sulfattyp sind die Schwefelsäuremonoester von primären Alkoholen natürlichen und synthetischen Ursprungs, d. h. von Fettalkoholen, wie z. B. Kokosfettalkoholen, Talgfettalkoholen, Oleylalkohol, oder den C10-C20-Oxoalkoholen, und solche von sekundären Alkoholen dieser Kettenlängen. Daneben kommen die Schwefelsäuremonoester der mit 1 bis 6 Mol Ethylenoxid ethoxylierten aliphatischen primären Alkohole bzw. ethoxylierten sekundären Alkohole bzw. Alkylphenole in Betracht. Ferner eignen sich sulfatierte Fettsäureälkanolamide und sulfatierte Fettsäuremonoglyceride.Particularly suitable surfactants of the sulfate type are the sulfuric acid monoesters of primary alcohols of natural and synthetic origin, ie of fatty alcohols such as. As coconut fatty alcohols, tallow fatty alcohols, oleyl alcohol, or the C 10 -C 20 oxo alcohols, and those of secondary alcohols of these chain lengths. In addition, the sulfuric acid monoesters of the aliphatic primary alcohols ethoxylated with 1 to 6 moles of ethylene oxide or ethoxylated secondary alcohols or alkylphenols are suitable. Sulfated fatty acid alkanolamides and sulfated fatty acid monoglycerides are also suitable.

Alle diese anionischen Tenside werden bevorzugt in Form der Salze eingesetzt, insbesondere in Form der Natriumsalze, aber auch als Kalium- oder Ammoniumsalze oder als lösliche Salze organischer Basen, wie Mono-, Di- oder Triethanolamin.All of these anionic surfactants are preferably used in the form of the salts, in particular in the form of the sodium salts, but also as potassium or ammonium salts or as soluble salts of organic bases, such as mono-, di- or triethanolamine.

Besonders günstige anwendungstechnische Eigenschaften weisen solche Reinigungsmittel auf, die 1 bis 60 Gew.-% Fettsäurecyanamidsalz und 1 bis 30 Gew.-% synthetisches anionisches Tensid aus der Gruppe der Alkylbenzolsulfonate, Estersulfonate, Alkoholsulfate und deren Mischungen neben anderen üblichen Bestandteilen von Wasch- und Reinigungsmitteln enthalten.Such cleaning agents which have 1 to 60% by weight of fatty acid cyanamide salt and 1 to 30% by weight of synthetic anionic surfactant from the group of alkylbenzenesulfonates, ester sulfonates, alcohol sulfates and mixtures thereof, in addition to other customary components of detergents and cleaning agents, have particularly favorable application properties contain.

Als nichtionische Tenside eignen sich Anlagerungsprodukte von 1 bis 40, vorzugsweise 2 bis 20 Mol Ethylenoxid an 1 Mol einer aliphatischen Verbindung mit im wesentlichen 10 bis 20 Kohlenstoffatomen aus der Gruppe der Alkohole, Alkylphenole, Carbonsäuren und Carbonsäureamide. Besonders wichtig sind die Anlagerungsprodukte von 8 bis 20 Mol Ethylenoxid an primäre Alkohole, wie zum Beispiel Kokos- oder Talgfettalkohole, an Oleylalkohol, an Oxoalkohole der entsprechenden Kettenlängen, oder an entsprechende sekundäre Alkohole, sowie an Mono- oder Dialkylphenole mit 6 bis 14 C-Atomen in den Alkylresten. Neben diesen wasserlöslichen Nonionics sind aber auch nicht bzw. nicht vollständig wasserlösliche Polyglykolether mit 2 bis 7 Ethylenglykoletherresten im Molekül von Interesse, insbesondere, wenn sie zusammen mit wasserlöslichen nichtionischen oder anionischen Tensiden eingesetzt werden. Von besonderem praktischem Interesse sind wegen ihrer guten biologischen Abbaubarkeit vor allem die Ethoxylierungsprodukte von primären aliphatischen Alkanolen und Alkenolen.Addition products of 1 to 40, preferably 2 to 20 moles of ethylene oxide with 1 mole of an aliphatic compound having essentially 10 to 20 carbon atoms from the group of alcohols, alkylphenols, carboxylic acids and carboxamides are suitable as nonionic surfactants. The addition products of 8 to 20 moles of ethylene oxide with primary alcohols, for example, are particularly important Coconut or tallow fatty alcohols, on oleyl alcohol, on oxo alcohols of the corresponding chain lengths, or on corresponding secondary alcohols, as well as on mono- or dialkylphenols with 6 to 14 carbon atoms in the alkyl radicals. In addition to these water-soluble nonionics, non-fully or not fully water-soluble polyglycol ethers with 2 to 7 ethylene glycol ether residues in the molecule are also of interest, in particular if they are used together with water-soluble nonionic or anionic surfactants. Because of their good biodegradability, the ethoxylation products of primary aliphatic alkanols and alkenols are of particular practical interest.

Ferner sind als nichtionische Tenside die wasserlöslichen, 20 bis 250 Ethylenglykolethergruppen und 10 bis 100 Propylenglykolethergruppen enthaltenden Anlagerungsprodukte von Ethylenoxid an Polypropylenglykol, Alkylendiamin-poly-propylenglykol und an Alkylpolypropylenglykole mit 1 bis 10 Kohlenstoffatomen in der Alkylkette brauchbar, in denen die Polypropylenglykolkette als hydrophober Rest fungiert. Auch nichtionische Tenside vom Typ der Aminoxide oder Sulfoxide sind verwendbar, beispielsweise die Verbindungen N-Kokosalkyl-N,N-dimethyl- aminoxid, N-Hexadecyl-N,N-bis- (2,3-dihydroxypropylamin-. oxid, N-Talgalkyl-N,N-dihydroxyethylaminoxid.Furthermore, the non-ionic surfactants which can be used are the water-soluble adducts of ethylene oxide with 20 to 250 ethylene glycol ether groups and 10 to 100 propylene glycol ether groups with polypropylene glycol, alkylenediamine-poly-propylene glycol and with alkylpolypropylene glycols having 1 to 10 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain, in which the polypropylene glycol chain acts as a hydrophobic radical . Nonionic surfactants of the amine oxide or sulfoxide type can also be used, for example the compounds N-cocoalkyl-N, N-dimethylamine oxide, N-hexadecyl-N, N-bis (2,3-dihydroxypropylamine oxide, N-tallow alkyl) -N, N-dihydroxyethylamine oxide.

Geeignete amphotere Tenside sind solche, die im Molekül sowohl saure Gruppen, wie z. B. Carboxyl-, Sulfonsäure-, Schwefelsäurehalbester-, Phosphonsäure- und Phosphorsäureteilestergruppen, als auch basische Gruppen, wie z. B. primäre, sekundäre, tertiäre und quartäre Ammoniumgruppen enthalten. Amphotere Verbindungen mit quartären Ammoniumgruppen gehören zum Typ der Betaine oder zwitterionischen Tenside. Hierbei handelt es sich insbesondere um Derivate aliphatischer quartärer Ammoniumverbindungen, in denen einer der aliphatischen Reste aus einem C8 -C18-Rest besteht und ein weiterer eine anionische wasserlöslich machende Carboxy-, Sulfo- oder Sulfato-Gruppe enthält. Typische Vertreter derartiger oberflächenaktiver Betaine sind beispielsweise die Verbindungen 3-(N-Hexadecyl-N,N-dimethylammonio)-propansulfonat, 3-(N-Talgalkyl-N,N-dimethylammonio)-2-hydroxypropansulfo- nat, 3-(N-Hexadecyl-N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-ammonio)-2-hydroxypropylsulfat, 3-(N-Kokosalkyl-N,N-bis(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-ammonio)-propansulfonat, N-Tetradecyl-N,N-dimethyl-ammonioacetat, N-Hexadecyl-N,N-bis(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-ammonioacetat.Suitable amphoteric surfactants are those which contain both acidic groups such as. B. carboxyl, sulfonic acid, sulfuric acid half-ester, phosphonic acid and phosphoric acid partial ester groups, as well as basic groups, such as. B. contain primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary ammonium groups. Amphoteric compounds with quaternary ammonium groups belong to the type of betaines or zwitterionic surfactants. These are in particular derivatives of aliphatic quaternary ammonium compounds, in which one of the aliphatic radicals consists of a C 8 -C 18 radical and another contains an anionic water-solubilizing carboxy, sulfo or sulfato group. Typical representatives of such surface-active betaines are, for example, the compounds 3- (N-hexadecyl-N, N-dimethylammonio) propanesulfonate, 3- (N-tallow alkyl-N, N-dimethylammonio) -2-hydroxypropanesulfonate, 3- (N- Hexadecyl-N, N-bis (2-hydroxyethyl) -ammonio) -2-hydroxypropyl sulfate, 3- (N-cocoalkyl-N, N-bis (2,3-dihydroxypropyl) -ammonio) propane sulfonate, N-tetradecyl-N , N-dimethyl-ammonioacetate, N-hexadecyl-N, N-bis (2,3-dihydroxypropyl) ammonium acetate.

Derartige Polymere sind auch im Handel erhältlich und werden z. B. von der Firma Union Carbon Carbide Corporation (UCC) unter dem Namen "POLYOX®" vertrieben.The water-soluble organic polymers which can be used according to the invention include water-soluble polyethylene glycols with a molecular weight between 300,000 and 4,000,000, preferably between 500,000 and 1,000,000, which are prepared in a known manner by subjecting ethylene glycols to a polycondensation process. They can also be considered as condensation polymers of ethylene oxide with ethylene glycol or water. They have the general formula HO (-CH 2 -CH 2 -O) n H, where n can vary between 4,800 and 64,600 in the case of the polyethylene glycols used according to the invention. Such polymers are also commercially available and z. B. from Union Carbon Carbide Corporation (UCC) under the name "POLYOX®".

Zu den wasserlöslichen nichtionischen Polymeren gehören ferner die Polyvinylalkohole und die Polyvinylpyrrolidone. Polyvinylalkohole können durch Hydrolyse von Polyvinylacetat hergestellt werden. Sie besitzen die allgemeine Formel (-CH2-CH(OH)-)n und Molgewichte von etwa 13 400 bis 250 000, vorzugsweise 80 000 bis 100 000. Sie können von der Hydrolysereaktion noch geringe Anteile an Acetylresten enthalten, diese sollen jedoch weniger als 40, vorzugsweise weniger als 15 und insbesondere weniger als 2 und möglichst 0 Prozent betragen. Polyvinylalkohole werden beispielsweise von der Firma Wacker-Chemie unter der Bezeichnung "POLYVIOL®" oder von de Firma Nippon Gohsei unter der Bezeichnung "GOHSENOLE®" gehandelt.The water-soluble nonionic polymers also include the polyvinyl alcohols and the polyvinylpyrrolidones. Polyvinyl alcohols can be produced by hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate. They have the general formula (-CH 2 -CH (OH) -) n and molecular weights of about 13,400 to 250,000, preferably 80,000 to 100,000. They can still contain small amounts of acetyl radicals from the hydrolysis reaction, but these should be less than 40, preferably less than 15 and in particular less than 2 and if possible 0 percent. Polyvinyl alcohols are traded, for example, by Wacker-Chemie under the name "POLYVIOL®" or by Nippon Gohsei under the name "GOHSENOLE®".

Polyvinylpyrrolidone sind ebenfalls handelsübliche Polymere. Sie werden unter anderem von der Firma BASF unter dem Namen "LUVISKOLE" vertrieben. Ihr Polymerisationsgrad liegt für den erfindungsgemäßen Einsatz zwischen 100 und 9 000, vorzugsweise zwischen 350 und 7 500, die Molgewichte zwischen etwa 10 000 und 1 000 000, vorzugsweise zwischen etwa 30 000 und 850 000.Polyvinylpyrrolidones are also commercially available polymers.

Their degree of polymerization for the use according to the invention is between 100 and 9,000, preferably between 350 and 7,500, mol weights between about 10,000 and 1,000,000, preferably between about 30,000 and 850,000.

Celluloseether, Polysaccharide, Proteine und Polyacrylamide stellen je nach Substitutions- beziehungsweise Umsetzungsgrad wasserlösliche sogenannte schwachanionische Polymere dar. Darunter versteht man solche Polymere, deren Ladungsdichte größer als 0, aber nicht größer als 0,5, vorzugsweise größer als 0, aber nicht größer als 0,2 und insbesondere größer als 0, aber nicht größer als 0,01 ist. Die Definition für die Ladungsdichte entspricht dabei folgender Formel:

  • Ladungsdichte: Anzahl dissoziierbarer Gruppen pro Makromolekül Polymerisationsgrad n
Depending on the degree of substitution or conversion, cellulose ethers, polysaccharides, proteins and polyacrylamides are water-soluble so-called weakly anionic polymers. These are understood to mean those polymers whose charge density is greater than 0 but not greater than 0.5, preferably greater than 0 but not greater than 0 , 2 and in particular greater than 0, but not greater than 0.01. The definition for the charge density corresponds to the following formula:
  • Charge density: number of dissociable groups per macromolecule degree of polymerization n

Zu den Celluloseethern mit einer Ladungsdichte größer als 0, aber nicht größer als 0,5, vorzugsweise größer als 0, aber nicht größer als 0,2 gehören vor allem solche, deren 2-prozentige wäßrige Lösung bei 20°C eine Viskosität von größer als 50 m Pa . s, vorzugsweise von größer als 100 m Pa . s aufweist. Hierzu gehören die von der Firma Henkel unter der Typensammelbezeichnung "CULMINAL®" gehandelten Methylcellulosen (MC), Methylhydroxyethylcellulosen (MHEC), Methylhydroxypropylcellulosen (MHPC), Carboxymethylmethylcellulose (CMMC) und Hydroxyethylcellulosen (HEC), außerdem Methylhydroxybutylcellulose (MHBC) und Hydroxybutylcellulose, wie sie von der Dow Chemicals unter dem Markennamen Methocel® gehandelt werden. Diese Celluloseether werden aus der Klasse der anionischen Polymeren bevorzugt.The cellulose ethers with a charge density greater than 0, but not greater than 0.5, preferably greater than 0, but not greater than 0.2 include, in particular, those whose 2 percent aqueous solution has a viscosity of greater than 20 ° C. 50 m Pa. s, preferably greater than 100 m Pa. s. These include the methylcelluloses (MC), methylhydroxyethylcelluloses (MHEC), methylhydroxypropylcelluloses (MHPC), carboxymethylmethylcellulose (CMMC) and hydroxyethylcelluloses (HEC), also methylhydroxybutylcellulose (MHBC), which are traded by the Henkel company under the common name "CULMINAL®" by Dow Chemicals under the brand name Methocel®. These cellulose ethers are preferred from the class of anionic polymers.

Polysaccharide kommen insbesondere in Derivatform, zum Beispiel als Stärkeether (zum Beispiel Solvitose® der Firma W. A. Scholtens, Holland) in Betracht, wobei auch hier die Ladungsdichte von 0,5 bis kleiner als 0,2 ausschlaggebend ist. Ebenso gehören Alginate ("ALGIPON-" der Firma Henkel) zu dieser Polymerenklasse.Polysaccharides are particularly suitable in derivative form, for example as starch ethers (for example Solvitose® from W. A. Scholtens, Holland), the charge density from 0.5 to less than 0.2 also being decisive here. Alginates ("ALGIPON-" from Henkel) also belong to this class of polymers.

Bei den erfindungsgemäß einsetzbaren Proteinen handelt es sich beispielsweise um Natriumcaseinat und Gelatine, die beide unter anderem von der Firma Milac, Hamburg vertrieben werden.The proteins which can be used according to the invention are, for example, sodium caseinate and gelatin, both of which are sold, inter alia, by the company Milac, Hamburg.

Polyacrylamide, d. h. Polymere und Copolymere des Acrylamids mit der allgemeinen Formel (-CH2-CH(CONH2)-)n mit Molgewichten von 300 000 bis 6 000 000, vorzugsweise 500 000 bis 2 000 000 werden unter anderem von der Firma Schuchardt vertrieben und eignen sich ebenfalls für den erfindungsgemäßen Einsatz.Polyacrylamides, ie polymers and copolymers of acrylamide with the general formula (-CH 2 -CH (CONH 2 ) -) n with molecular weights of 300,000 to 6,000,000, preferably 500,000 to 2,000,000, are marketed by Schuchardt, among others and are also suitable for use in accordance with the invention.

Zur pH-Wert-Regulierung eignen sich als saure Substanzen übliche anorganische oder organische Säuren oder saure Salze, wie beispielsweise Salzsäure, Schwefelsäure, Bisulfate der Alkalien, Aminosulfonsäure, Phosphorsäure oder andere Säuren des Phosphors, insbesondere die anhydrischen Säuren des Phosphors bzw. deren Salze oder deren sauer reagierende feste Verbindungen mit Harnstoff oder anderen niederen Carbonsaureamiden, Teilamide der Phosphorsäuren oder der anhydrischen Phosphorsäure, Citronensäure, Weinsäure, Milchsäure und dergleichen. Als basische Substanzen können auch organische oder anorganische Verbindungen wie Alkanolamine, nämlich Mono-, Di- oder Triethanolamin oder Ammoniak zugesetzt werden. Zur Einstellung eines schwach alkalischen pH-Wertes sind ferner alkalisch reagierende Builder-Substanzen und Waschalkalien, wie z. B. Natriumtripolyphosphat, Natriumcarbonat und Natriumbicarbonat, Kaliumcarbonat und -bicarbonat, Natriumsilikat sowie die Natriumalumosilikate geeignet.Suitable pH-regulating agents are customary inorganic or organic acids or acidic salts, such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, bisulfates of alkalis, aminosulfonic acid, phosphoric acid or other acids of phosphorus, in particular the anhydrous acids of phosphorus or their salts or their acidic solid compounds with urea or other lower carboxylic acid amides, partial amides of phosphoric acids or anhydrous phosphoric acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid and the like. Organic or inorganic compounds such as alkanolamines, namely mono-, di- or triethanolamine or ammonia, can also be added as basic substances. To adjust a weakly alkaline pH are also alkaline builder substances and washing alkalis, such as. As sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate and bicarbonate, sodium silicate and the sodium aluminosilicates are suitable.

Zur Herstellung der Reinigungsmittel in flüssiger Form kann man an sich bekannte Lösungsvermittler einarbeiten, wozu außer den wasserlöslichen organischen Lösungsmitteln wie insbesondere niedermolekularen aliphatischen Alkoholen mit 1 bis 4 Kohlenstoffatomen auch die sogenannten hydrotropen Stoffe vom Typ der niederen Alkylarylsulfonate beispielsweise Toluol-, Xylol- oder Cumolsulfonat gehören. Sie können auch in Form ihrer Natrium- und/oder Kalium- und/oder Alkylaminosalze vorliegen. Als Lösungsvermittler sind weiterhin wasserlösliche organische Lösungsmittel verwendbar, insbesondere solche mit Siedepunkten oberhalb von 75 "C wie beispielsweise die Ether aus gleich- oder verschiedenenartigen mehrwertigen Alkoholen oder die Teilether aus mehrwertigen Alkoholen. Hierzu gehören beispielsweise Di- oder Triethylenglykolpolyglycerine sowie die Teilether aus Ethylenglykol, Propylenglykol, Butylenglykol oder Glycerin mit aliphatischen, 1 bis 4 Kohlenstoffatome im Molekül enthaltenden einwertigen Alkoholen.For the preparation of the cleaning agents in liquid form, known solubilizers can be incorporated, which in addition to the water-soluble organic solvents such as, in particular, low-molecular aliphatic alcohols having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, also include the so-called hydrotropic substances of the lower alkylarylsulfonate type, for example toluene, xylene or cumene sulfonate . They can also be in the form of their sodium and / or potassium and / or alkylamino salts. Water-soluble organic solvents can also be used as solubilizers, in particular those with boiling points above 75 ° C., such as, for example, the ethers from the same or different polyhydric alcohols or the partial ethers from polyhydric alcohols. These include, for example, di- or triethylene glycol polyglycerols and the partial ethers from ethylene glycol, propylene glycol , Butylene glycol or glycerol with aliphatic monohydric alcohols containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the molecule.

Als wasserlösliche oder mit Wasser emulgierbare organische Lösungsmittel kommen auch Ketone, wie Aceton, Methylethylketon sowie aliphatische, cycloaliphatische, aromatische und chlorierte Kohlenwasserstoffe, ferner die Terpenalkohole in Betracht.Suitable water-soluble or water-emulsifiable organic solvents are also ketones, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone and aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons, and also the terpene alcohols.

Zur Regulierung der Viskosität empfiehlt sich gegebenenfalls ein Zusatz von höheren Polyglykolethern mit Molgewichten bis etwa 600 oder Polyglycerin. Weiterhin empfiehlt sich zur Regulierung der Viskosität ein Zusatz an Natriumchlorid und/oder Harnstoff.To regulate the viscosity, it may be advisable to add higher polyglycol ethers with molecular weights up to about 600 or polyglycerol. It is also recommended to add sodium chloride and / or urea to regulate the viscosity.

Außerdem können die Reinigungsmittel Zusätze an Farb- und Duftstoffen, Konservierungsmitteln und gewünschtenfalls auch antimikrobiell wirksamen Mittel beliebiger Art enthalten.In addition, the cleaning agents can contain additives of colors and fragrances, preservatives and, if desired, antimicrobial agents of any kind.

Als antimikrobielle Mittel kommen vorzugsweise Formaldehyd-Aminoalkohol-Kondensationsprodukte zum Einsatz. Die Produkte werden durch Umsetzung einer wäßrigen Lösung von Formaldehyd mit Aminoalkoholen, z. B. 2-Aminoethanol, 1-Aminoethanol, l-Amino-2-propanol, 2-Aminoiso-butanol, 2(2'-Aminoethyl)-aminoethanol hergestellt.Formaldehyde-amino alcohol condensation products are preferably used as antimicrobial agents. The products are obtained by reacting an aqueous solution of formaldehyde with amino alcohols, e.g. B. 2-aminoethanol, 1-aminoethanol, l-amino-2-propanol, 2-aminoiso-butanol, 2 (2'-aminoethyl) aminoethanol.

Weiterhin können die Reinigungsmittel beliebige organische oder anorganische Abrasivstoffe enthalten. Für die Herstellung von Scheuerpulvern ist die pulverförmige Konsistenz der Fettsäurecyanamidsalze wiederum von besonderem Vorteil.Furthermore, the cleaning agents can contain any organic or inorganic abrasives. The powdery consistency of the fatty acid cyanamide salts is again of particular advantage for the production of scouring powders.

Zum Nachweis des Reinigungseffektes der erfindungsgemäß eingesetzten Tensidkombination beim manuellen Geschirrspülen wurde der sogenannte Tellertest durchgeführt. Die Methodik ist in der Zeitschrift "Fette, Seifen, Anstrichmittel", 74 (1972), Seiten 163 bis 165 beschrieben.The so-called plate test was carried out to demonstrate the cleaning effect of the surfactant combination used according to the invention in manual dishwashing. The methodology is described in the journal "Fette, Seifen, Anstrichmittel", 74 (1972), pages 163 to 165.

Es wurden Teller mit einer Mischanschmutzung aus Eiweiß, Fett und Kohlenhydraten angeschmutzt und bei 45 °C gespült. Die Prüfprodukte wurden mit einer Dosierung von 0,1 g/1 bei pulverförmigen und 0,4 g/1 bei flüssigen Produkten eingesetzt. Als Maß für die Spülwirkung dient die Anzahl an Tellern, die mit 5 1 Spülflotte sauber gespült werden = Tellerzahl.Plates with a mixed contamination of protein, fat and carbohydrates were soiled and rinsed at 45 ° C. The test products were used with a dosage of 0.1 g / 1 for powdered products and 0.4 g / 1 for liquid products. The number of plates that are rinsed clean with 5 l of washing liquid = number of plates serves as a measure of the washing effect.

Es wurden folgende Bestandteile in Gewichtsprozent gemischt:

Figure imgb0002
Mit einem Mittel nach diesem Beispiel ließen sich 21 Teller reinigen.The following ingredients were mixed in percent by weight:
Figure imgb0002
With an agent according to this example, 21 plates could be cleaned.

Bei mengengleichem Austausch der Tensidkombination aus Beispiel 1 gegen folgende Einzeltenside ergeben sich unter gleichen Testbedingungen folgende Prüfwerte:

  • Bei C12-C14-Fettalkohol-2EO-Sulfat, Na-Salz: Tellerzahl = 15,
  • bei C11-C13-Aklylbenzolsulfonat, Na-Salz: Tellerzahl = 11.
If the surfactant combination from Example 1 is exchanged in equal quantities for the following individual surfactants, the following test values result under the same test conditions:
  • For C 12 -C 14 fatty alcohol 2EO sulfate, Na salt: number of plates = 15,
  • for C 11 -C 13 -alkylbenzenesulfonate, Na salt: number of plates = 11.

Man erkennt die synergistische Wirkung der Tensidkombination mit einem Gehalt an C 12 -C 16 -Fettsäurecyanamid-Na-Salz.The synergistic effect of the surfactant combination containing C 12 -C 16 fatty acid cyanamide Na salt can be seen.

Die folgenden Beispiele betreffen flüssige Allzweckreinigungsmittel. Das Reinigungsvermögen der Rezepturen mit der Kombination Fettsäurecyanamidsalz plus weiteres Tensid bzw. polymere Substanz wurde nach der folgenden Methode ermittelt :The following examples are for all-purpose liquid detergents. The cleaning ability of the recipes with the combination of fatty acid cyanamide salt plus additional surfactant or polymeric substance was determined using the following method:

TestmethodeTest method

Das zu prüfende Reinigungsmittel wird auf eine künstlich angeschmutzte Kunststoffoberfläche gegeben. Als künstliche Anschmutzung wird ein Gemisch aus Ruß, Maschinenöl, Triglycerid gesättigter Fettsäuren und niedersiedendem aliphatischen Kohlenwasserstoff verwendet. Die Testfläche von 26 x 28 cm wird mit Hilfe eines Flächenstreichers gleichmäßig mit 2 g der künstlichen Anschmutzung beschichtet.The cleaning agent to be tested is placed on an artificially soiled plastic surface. A mixture of carbon black, machine oil, triglyceride, saturated fatty acids and low-boiling aliphatic hydrocarbon is used as artificial soiling. The test area of 26 x 28 cm is evenly coated with 2 g of the artificial soiling with the help of a surface coater.

Ein Kunststoffschwamm wird jeweils mit 12 ml der zu prü- fenden Reinigungsmittellösung getränkt und maschinell auf der Testfläche bewegt. Nach 6 Wischbewegungen wird die gereinigte Testfläche unter fließendes Wasser gehalten und der lose sitzende Schmutz entfernt. Die Reinigungswirkung, d. h., der Weißgrad der so gereinigten Kunststoffoberfläche wird mit einem photoelektronischen Farbmeßgerät LF 90 (Dr. B. Lange) gemessen. Als Weiß-Standard dient die saubere weiße Kunststoffoberfläche.A plastic sponge is in each case with 12 ml of the prü- fe cleaners solution impregnated and moved mechanically over the test surface. After 6 wiping movements, the cleaned test area is kept under running water and the loose dirt is removed. The cleaning effect, ie the degree of whiteness of the plastic surface cleaned in this way, is measured with a photoelectronic color measuring device LF 90 (Dr. B. Lange). The clean white plastic surface serves as the white standard.

Da bei der Messung der sauberen Oberfläche auf 100 % eingestellt und die angeschmutzte Fläche mit 0 angezeigt wird, sind die abgelesenen Werte bei den gereinigten Kunststoff-Flächen mit dem Prozentgehalt Reinigungsvermögen (% RV) gleichzusetzen. Bei den nachstehenden Versuchen sind die angegebenen % RV-Werte die nach dieser Methode ermittelten Werte für das Reinigungsvermögen der untersuchten Reinigungsmittel. Sie stellen jeweils Mittelwerte aus 4fachen Bestimmungen dar.Since the measurement of the clean surface is set to 100% and the soiled area is displayed with 0, the read values for the cleaned plastic areas are to be equated with the percentage cleaning capacity (% RV). In the tests below, the% RV values given are the values determined by this method for the cleaning ability of the investigated cleaning agents. They represent mean values from fourfold determinations.

Diese Methode gestattet einen gut reproduzierbaren Vergleich, solange gleichartige Testmaterialien verwendet werden.This method allows a reproducible comparison as long as similar test materials are used.

Nach der vorstehend angegebenen Testmethode ergibt das Reinigungsmittel des Beispiels 4 in l%iger Lösung in Leitungswasser von 16 °d bei Raumtemperatur einen Wert von 65 % RV.
Figure imgb0005
According to the test method given above, the cleaning agent of Example 4 in a 1% solution in tap water of 16 ° d at room temperature gives a value of 65% RV.

Setzt man dagegen anstelle der Tensidkombination mengengleich jeweils das angegebene Einzeltensid ein, so erhält man unter gleichen Testbedingungen folgende Werte:

  • Gesamttensidmenge als Alkylbenzolsulfonat vorliegend:
    • 60 % RV,
  • Gesamttensidmenge als Laurinsäurecyanamidsalz: 52 % RV.
If, on the other hand, the specified individual surfactant is used instead of the surfactant combination, the following values are obtained under the same test conditions:
  • Total amount of surfactant present as alkylbenzenesulfonate:
    • 60% RV,
  • Total amount of surfactant as lauric acid cyanamide salt: 52% RV.

Man erkennt den Synergismus, der sich hier durch Kombination beider Tenside im Verhältnis 1 : 4 ergibt.You can see the synergism that results from the combination of both surfactants in a ratio of 1: 4.

Zum Vergleich wurde ein handelsüblicher Haushaltsreiniger, der 8,5 % C12-C18-Alkansulfonat + 2,8 % aliphatisches nichtionisches Tensid und ferner 4 % Pentanatriumtripolyphosphat enthielt, geprüft. Er zeigte als l%ige Lösung einen Wert von 42 % RV.
Figure imgb0006
For comparison, a commercial household cleaner containing 8.5% C 12 -C 18 alkanesulfonate + 2.8% aliphatic nonionic surfactant and also 4% pentasodium tripolyphosphate was tested. It showed a value of 42% RV as a 1% solution.

Zum weiteren Vergleich wurde in Beispiel 5a) das Fettsäurecyanamidsalz mengengleich durch C12-C18 -Alkansulfonat ersetzt. Man erhielt dann einen Wert von 50 % RV. Das Beispiel zeigt, daß Fettsäurecyanamidsalze auch durch geringe Zusätze an Polymeren eine große Steigerung der Reinigungswirkung erfahren, so daß Reinigungsmittel, die diese enthalten, denen des Standes der Technik überlegen sind.For further comparison in Example 5a) the fatty acid cyanamide salt was replaced by C 12 -C 18 alkanesulfonate. A value of 50% RV was then obtained. The example shows that fatty acid cyanamide salts experience a great increase in the cleaning action even through small additions of polymers, so that cleaning agents which contain them are superior to those of the prior art.

Ersetzte man in diesen Beispielen die Fettsäurecyanamidsalze mengengleich durch ein C11-C14-Alkandiol + 10 E0, so erhielt man den Wert: 70 % RV. Das Beispiel zeigt, daß bei gleichzeitiger Verwendung einer synergistisch wirkenden Tensidkombination mit Fettsäurecyanamidsalzen und eines Polymeren eine höhere Wirkungssteigerung erzielt wird als mit bekannten und bereits als hochwirksam eingestuften Substanzen.

If in these examples the fatty acid cyanamide salts were replaced by a C 11 -C 14 alkanediol + 10 E0, the value was: 70% RV. The example shows that when a synergistic surfactant combination with fatty acid cyanamide salts and a polymer is used at the same time, a greater increase in activity is achieved than with known substances which have already been classified as highly effective.
