Description

Die Erfindung betrifft neue Reinigungsmittel, mit de­nen lackierte oder nichtlackierte Oberflächen von Fahrzeugen, Motoren, Fußböden in Werkstätten oder an­dere Arbeitsflächen gereinigt und entfettet werden können, wobei die entsprechenden entfernten Verunrei­nigungen demulgiert werden.The invention relates to new cleaning agents with which painted or unpainted surfaces of vehicles, engines, floors in workshops or other work surfaces can be cleaned and degreased, the corresponding contaminants removed being demulsified.

Mittel zur Reinigung von festen Oberflächen, die mit Fetten oder fettartigen Verschmutzungen verunreinigt sind, sind insbesondere im technischen Bereich weit verbreitet. Bisher werden für die entsprechenden Rei­nigungsoperationen entweder Zusammensetzungen verwen­det, die Fette oder fettartige Verschmutzungen emul­gieren, oder sogenannte "Kaltreiniger" eingesetzt. Letztere sind (nach Römpp's Chemie-Lexikon, Franck'sche Verlagsbuchhandlung Stuttgart, Band 3 (1983), Seite 2033/34) Lösungsmittelgemische, die hohe Anteile chlorierter oder nichtchlorierter Kohlenwas­serstoffe (Erdölfraktionen) enthalten und mit oder ohne Emulgatoren und anderen Zusätzen zur Kaltentfer­nung von Fetten, Ölen, Wachsen, Teer usw. verwendet werden. Bei Verwendung derartiger Kaltreiniger werden die Abwässer nicht nur mit den von den behandelten Oberflächen abgelösten Fetten, Ölen etc. belastet, sondern zusätzlich auch mit organischen Lösungsmit­teln, insbesondere mit chlorierten Kohlenwasserstof­fen, so daß eine Abtrennung der umweltschädlichen Komponenten von den entsprechenden Abwässern zwingend erforderlich, da gesetzlich vorgeschrieben, ist. Zudem haben organische Lösungsmittel enthaltende Kaltreini­ger den weiteren Nachteil, daß bei der Reinigungsope­ration feuergefährliche, geruchsbelästigende oder so­gar gesundheitsschädliche Dämpfe entstehen, so daß die entsprechenden Reinigungsoperationen nur unter extre­men Vorsichts- und Gesundheitsschutzmaßnahmen durchge­führt werden können.Means for cleaning solid surfaces that are contaminated with greases or greasy soiling are particularly widespread in the technical field. So far, either compositions that emulsify fats or greasy soiling, or so-called "cold cleaners" have been used for the corresponding cleaning operations. The latter are (according to Römpp's Chemie-Lexikon, Franck'sche Verlagsbuchhandlung Stuttgart, Volume 3 (1983), page 2033/34) solvent mixtures that contain high proportions of chlorinated or non-chlorinated hydrocarbons (petroleum fractions) and with or without emulsifiers and other additives for cold removal of fats, oils, waxes, tar, etc. When using such cold cleaners, the wastewater is not only contaminated with the fats, oils etc. detached from the treated surfaces, but also with organic solvents, especially with chlorinated hydrocarbons, so that it is absolutely necessary to separate the environmentally harmful components from the corresponding wastewater, because is required by law. In addition, cold cleaners containing organic solvents have the further disadvantage that flammable, unpleasant odors or even harmful vapors are produced during the cleaning operation, so that the corresponding cleaning operations can only be carried out under extreme precautionary and health protection measures.

Die erstgenannten, emulgierend wirkende Komponenten enthaltenden Reinigungsmittel haben den wesentlichen Nachteil, daß zwar Fette oder fettartige Verschmutzun­gen von den zu reinigenden Oberflächen entfernt werden können, diese Verschmutzungen jedoch im Wasser emul­giert werden. Dabei wird in Kauf genommen, daß entwe­der größere Mengen von Ölen, Fetten oder anderen Ver­unreinigungen in das Abwasser gelangen, was wegen der damit verbundenen Umweltverschmutzung unerwünscht ist, oder zusätzliche Mittel zum Brechen der gebildeten Emulsionen zugesetzt werden müssen, um eine Abtrennung der organischen Verunreinigungen in Ölabscheidern zu ermöglichen. Abgesehen von ökonomischen Aspekten ist jedoch der nachträgliche Zusatz demulgierender Agen­zien mit einer weiteren Gewässerbelastung verbunden, so daß auch diese Lösung nicht befriedigen kann.The first-mentioned detergents containing components with an emulsifying effect have the major disadvantage that fats or grease-like contaminations can be removed from the surfaces to be cleaned, but these contaminations are emulsified in water. It is accepted that either larger amounts of oils, fats or other contaminants get into the wastewater, which is undesirable because of the associated environmental pollution, or additional means for breaking the emulsions formed must be added to separate the organic contaminants To enable oil separators. Apart from economic aspects, however, the subsequent addition of demulsifying agents is associated with further pollution of the water, so that this solution too cannot be satisfactory.

In der DE-OS 25 29 096 werden Mittel zur Kaltreinigung von mit Fetten oder fettartigen Verunreinigungen kon­taminierten festen Oberflächen offenbart, die im we­sentlichen in wässrigen Emulsionen aus ethoxylierten Phenolen mit 8 bis 20 C-Atomen in der Alkylkette und ethoxylierten aliphatischen Alkoholen mit 9 bis 18 C-Atomen in der Alkylkette bestehen. Die vorgeschla­genen Kaltreiniger sind neutral bis schwach alkalisch eingestellt und können bei gutem Fettlösevermögen auf­grund ihrer geringen bzw. fehlenden Alkalität gefahr­los gehandhabt werden.DE-OS 25 29 096 discloses agents for the cold cleaning of solid surfaces contaminated with fats or fat-like impurities, which essentially consist in aqueous emulsions of ethoxylated phenols having 8 to 20 C atoms in the alkyl chain and ethoxylated aliphatic alcohols having 9 to 18 There are carbon atoms in the alkyl chain. The proposed cold cleaners are neutral to weakly alkaline and can be handled safely with good fat dissolving power due to their low or lack of alkalinity.

Ferner werden in der DE-OS 29 01 927 Reinigungsmittel zur Entfernung von öligen Verunreinigungn vorgeschla­gen, die Fettalkoholethoxylate in Kombination mit Phe­nol- oder Niederalkylphenolethoxylaten enthalten. Bei der Reinigungsoperation werden die fett- oder ölhalti­gen Verunreinigungen in Form einer Emulsion von der zu reinigenden Oberfläche entfernt. Die gebildeten Emul­sionen sind zwar relativ kurzlebig, es werden jedoch Stunden bis zum Brechen derselben benötigt.Furthermore, DE-OS 29 01 927 detergents for removing oily impurities are proposed which contain fatty alcohol ethoxylates in combination with phenol or lower alkylphenol ethoxylates. During the cleaning operation, the greasy or oily contaminants are removed from the surface to be cleaned in the form of an emulsion. The emulsions formed are relatively short-lived, but it takes hours to break them.

Zusätzlich zu den oben genannten Nachteilen, die den meisten aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Reini­gungsmitteln zueigen sind, haben die genannten Reini­ger eine solche Konsistenz, daß sie auf senkrechten Flächen, beispielsweise auf Wänden oder auf den senk­rechten Außenflächen von Fahrzeugen, unmittelbar ab­laufen und eine längere Einwirkzeit nur dadurch er­reicht werden kann, daß ein Mittel zur Viskositäts­erhöhung zugesetzt oder die Fläche mehrfach mit dem Reiniger behandelt werden muß. Die Fläche wird also nicht für eine genügend lange Zeit mit dem Reiniger in Kontakt gehalten, so daß in der Regel eine wiederholte Applikation erforderlich ist.In addition to the disadvantages mentioned above, which are common to most cleaning agents known from the prior art, the cleaning agents mentioned have such a consistency that they are perpendicular Surfaces, for example on walls or on the vertical outer surfaces of vehicles, run off immediately and a longer exposure time can only be achieved by adding an agent to increase the viscosity or by treating the surface several times with the cleaner. The surface is therefore not kept in contact with the cleaner for a sufficiently long time, so that repeated application is usually necessary.

Aufabe der vorliegenden Erfindung war es, alternativ zu den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Mitteln solche Reiniger zur Verfügung zu stellen, die ohne Belastung der Umwelt eingesetzt werden können. Insbe­sondere sollte eine Emulsionsbildung vermieden und auf die Verwendung von organischen Lösungsmitteln, bei­spielsweise Chlorkohlenwasserstoffen, Estern und Frak­tionen der Mineralöldestillation (Benzin, Kohlenwas­serstoffe), vollständig verzichtet werden. Die Appli­kation der neuen Reiniger sollte auf jedem Wege mög­lich sein und dabei zu einer über längere Zeit anhal­tenden Benetzung der behandelten Oberfläche führen. Eine Reinigungswirkung sollte zudem schon bei Raum­temperatur gegeben sein. Außerdem wurden an die bio­logische Abbaubarkeit über das gesetzlich vorgeschrie­bene Maß hinaus (Waschmittelgesetz, Chemikaliengesetz) erhöhte Anforderungen gestellt.It was an object of the present invention, as an alternative to the agents known from the prior art, to provide those cleaners which can be used without polluting the environment. In particular, emulsion formation should be avoided and the use of organic solvents, for example chlorinated hydrocarbons, esters and fractions from mineral oil distillation (petrol, hydrocarbons), should be avoided entirely. The application of the new cleaners should be possible in every way and lead to a lasting wetting of the treated surface. A cleaning effect should also be given at room temperature. In addition, increased demands were placed on the biodegradability beyond the legally prescribed level (detergent law, chemical law).

Überraschend wurde nun gefunden, daß Reiniger mit gu­ter Reinigungswirkung und demulgierenden Eigenschaften erhalten werden können, die die zu reinigende Fläche auch ohne Mittel zur Viskositätserhöhung ausreichend lange mit den Reinigerkomponenten in Kontakt halten, wenn man wässrige Kombinationen von Buildern bzw. Kom­ plexbildnern mit einem oder mehreren Alkanolaminen und einem oder mehreren nichtionischen Tensiden verwendet.Surprisingly, it has now been found that cleaners with a good cleaning action and demulsifying properties can be obtained which keep the surface to be cleaned in contact with the cleaning components for a sufficiently long time even without an agent to increase the viscosity, if aqueous combinations of builders or com plexers used with one or more alkanolamines and one or more nonionic surfactants.

Die Erfindung betrifft somit demulgierende Reinigungs­mittel mit Flächenfeuchthalteeffekt, die folgende Kom­ponenten enthalten:

  • (a) Builder/Komplexbildner in einer Menge von 0,5 bis 10 Gew.-%,
  • (b) ein oder mehrere Alkanolamin(e) in einer Menge von 20 bis 60 Gew.-%,
  • (c) ein oder mehrere nichtionische(s) Tensid(e) in einer Menge von 1 bis 15 Gew.-% sowie
  • (d) Wasser in einer Menge, die sich mit den Komponen­ten (a) (b) und (c) zu 100 Gew.-% summiert.
The invention thus relates to demulsifying cleaning agents with a surface moisturizing effect, which contain the following components:
  • (a) builders / complexing agents in an amount of 0.5 to 10% by weight,
  • (b) one or more alkanolamine (s) in an amount of 20 to 60% by weight,
  • (c) one or more nonionic surfactant (s) in an amount of 1 to 15 wt .-% as well
  • (d) Water in an amount which adds up to 100% by weight with components (a) (b) and (c).

Die erfindungsgemäßen demulgierenden Reinigungsmittel können gegebenenfalls zusätzlich Lösungsvermittler in einer Menge von 1 bis 10 Gew.-% und/oder Korrosionsin­hibitoren für Leichtmetalle in einer Menge von 0,15 bis 0,25 Gew.-% und/oder Korrosionsinhibitoren für Buntmetalle in einer Menge von 0,2 bis 0,4 Gew.-% und/oder Duftstoffe und/oder Farbstoffe in einer Menge von 0 bis 1 Gew.-% enthalten.The demulsifying cleaning agents according to the invention may optionally additionally contain solubilizers in an amount of 1 to 10% by weight and / or corrosion inhibitors for light metals in an amount of 0.15 to 0.25% by weight and / or corrosion inhibitors for non-ferrous metals in an amount of Contain 0.2 to 0.4 wt .-% and / or fragrances and / or dyes in an amount of 0 to 1 wt .-%.

Als Builder/Komplexbildner kommen an sich bekannte, Alkalimetall-, Erdalkalimetall- und/oder Übergangs­metallionen komplexierende Verbindungen in Frage. Als solche sind beispielsweise Ethylendiamintetraessig­säure, Nitrilotriessigsäure, Diethylentriaminpenta­essigsäure, N-(2-Hydroxyethyl-)ethylendiamintriessig­säure (TrilonR C) und deren wasserlösliche Alkali­metallsalze, bevorzugt deren Natriumsalze, zu nennen. Die genannten Builder/Komplexbildner werden bevorzugt in einer Menge von 2 bis 4 Gew.-% in den erfindungs­gemäßen Reinigern eingesetzt.Suitable builders / complexing agents are known compounds which complex alkali metal, alkaline earth metal and / or transition metal ions. Examples include ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, nitrilotriacetic acid, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, N- (2-hydroxyethyl-) ethylenediaminetriacetic acid (Trilon R C) and their water-soluble alkali metal salts, preferably their sodium salts. The builders / complexing agents mentioned are preferably used in an amount of 2 to 4% by weight in the cleaners according to the invention.

Eine weitere Komponente der erfindungsgemäßen Reiniger sind Alkanolamine. Alternativ kann entweder eine Ver­bindung dieser Stoffklasse oder mehrere derartige Ver­bindungen in beliebigem Mischungsverhältnis miteinan­der eingesetzt werden. Als Beispiele bevorzugter Al­kanolamine sind Diethanolamin, Triethanolamin, Diiso­propanolamin und Triisopropanolamin zu nennen. Verbin­dungen dieser Stoffklasse werden bevorzugt in Mengen von 25 bis 50 Gew.-% eingesetzt.Another component of the cleaners according to the invention are alkanolamines. Alternatively, either a compound of this class of substances or several such compounds can be used in any mixing ratio with one another. Examples of preferred alkanolamines are diethanolamine, triethanolamine, diisopropanolamine and triisopropanolamine. Compounds of this class of substances are preferably used in amounts of 25 to 50% by weight.

Für das Erreichen des erfindungsgemäß angestrebten Effektes der "Feuchthaltung" der behandelten Ober­fläche, d.h. das Ermöglichen eines über einen unmit­telbaren Ablauf des angewendeten Mittels hinaus an­dauernden Kontaktes der Reinigerkomponenten mit der behandelten Oberfläche, ist die Verwendung der Al­kanolaminkomponente in einer Menge unterhalb von 20 Gew.-% kritisch: Mengen unterhalb von 20 Gew.-%, bezogen auf das erfindungsgemäße wässrige Reiniger­konzentrat, würden den angestrebten "Feuchthalte­effekt" deutlich verschlechtern.To achieve the "moisturizing" effect of the treated surface, i.e. In order to allow the detergent components to come into contact with the treated surface beyond the immediate expiry of the agent used, the use of the alkanolamine component in an amount below 20% by weight is critical: amounts below 20% by weight, based on the invention aqueous cleaner concentrate would significantly worsen the desired "moisturizing effect".

Als weitere Komponente enthalten die erfindungsgemäßen demulgierenden Reinigungsmittel nichtionische Tenside. Auch in diesem Fall kann ein einziger Vertreter dieser Stoffgruppe oder alternativ ein Gemisch zweier oder mehrerer nichtionischer Tenside eingesetzt werden, solange dabei die Menge im Bereich von 1 bis 15 Gew.-% liegt. Als Vertreter dieser Stoffklasse sind Addukte von 4 mol Ethylenoxid an n- oder i-Octanol sowie Ad­dukte von 2 mol Propylenoxid und 5 bis 6 mol Ethylen­oxid an die genannten C₈-Alkohole zu nennen. Die be­vorzugte Menge der verwendeten nichtionischen Tenside liegt im Bereich von 3 bis 6 Gew.-%.The demulsifying cleaning agents according to the invention contain nonionic surfactants as a further component. In this case too, a single representative of this group of substances or alternatively a mixture of two or more nonionic surfactants can be used, as long as the amount is in the range from 1 to 15% by weight. Representatives of this class of substances are adducts of 4 mol of ethylene oxide with n- or i-octanol and adducts of 2 mol of propylene oxide and 5 to 6 mol of ethylene oxide with the C₈-alcohols mentioned. The preferred amount of the nonionic surfactants used is in the range of 3 to 6% by weight.

Als Lösungsvermittler, die den aus den oben genannten Komponenten (a), (b), (c) und (d) bestehenden demul­gierenden Reinigungsmitteln gegebenenfalls zusätzlich beigegeben werden können, kommen aromatische Sulfona­te, wie Cumolsulfonat oder Butylglykolsulfonat in Fra­ge. Außerdem können gegebenenfalls Korrosionsinhibito­ren für Leichtmetalle wie beispielsweise Phosphorsäure und/oder Korrosionsinhibitoren für Buntmetalle, bei­spielsweise Tolyltriazol, zugesetzt werden. Falls dies erwünscht ist, können die demulgierenden Reinigungs­mittel gemäß der Erfindung auch Duftstoffe und/oder Farbstoffe enthalten.Aromatic sulfonates, such as cumene sulfonate or butyl glycol sulfonate, are suitable as solubilizers, which can optionally be additionally added to the demulsifying cleaning agents consisting of the above-mentioned components (a), (b), (c) and (d). In addition, corrosion inhibitors for light metals such as phosphoric acid and / or corrosion inhibitors for non-ferrous metals such as tolyltriazole can optionally be added. If this is desired, the demulsifying cleaning agents according to the invention can also contain fragrances and / or dyes.

Die Reiniger werden dadurch hergestellt, daß die ge­nannten Komponenten in den jeweiligen Mengen nach an sich bekannten Methoden miteinander vermischt werden. Die Lagerung bzw. der Versand erfolgt in der Regel in Form eines die Kombination der angegebenen Rohstoffe enthaltenden wässrigen Konzentrates, auf das sich auch die angegebenen Mengen (in Gew.-%) beziehen.The cleaners are produced in that the components mentioned are mixed with one another in the respective amounts by methods known per se. Storage or shipping is generally carried out in the form of an aqueous concentrate containing the combination of the specified raw materials, to which the stated amounts (in% by weight) also relate.

Zur Reinigung und Entfettung von lackierten oder un­lackierten Oberflächen von Fahrzeugen, Motoren, Fuß­boden und Wänden von Werkstätten etc. werden die er­findungsgemäßen demulgierenden Reinigungsmittel mit Feuchthalteeffekt in beliebiger Verdünnung mit Wasser eingesetzt. Je nach Applikationsart und Verschmut zungsgrad der zu reinigenden Flächen werden 3 %ige oder höher konzentrierte wässrige Lösungen eingesetzt. Bei hoher Verschmutzung kann sogar das Konzentrat ver­wendet werden. Die Applikation erfolgt im Sprüh-, Tauch- oder Hochdruckspritzverfahren mit entsprechen­den Geräten. Bereits bei Raumtemperatur wird ein her­ vorragendes Reinigungsergebnis erzielt. Die Produkt­zusammensetzung gewährleistet außerdem eine ca. 20-­bis 30-minütige Feuchthaltung der zu reinigenden Ober­fläche und damit einen entsprechend langen Kontakt der reinigend wirkenden Komponenten mit der Kontamination. Dies ist beispielsweise bei der Reinigung von Lokomo­tiven zur Erzielung eines guten Reinigungsergebnisses von außerordentlicher Wichtigkeit.For cleaning and degreasing painted or unpainted surfaces of vehicles, engines, floors and walls of workshops etc., the demulsifying cleaning agents according to the invention with a moisturizing effect are used in any dilution with water. Depending on the type of application and the degree of soiling of the surfaces to be cleaned, 3% or more concentrated aqueous solutions are used. In the case of heavy soiling, the concentrate can even be used. The application takes place in the spray, immersion or high pressure spraying process with the appropriate devices. It starts at room temperature excellent cleaning result achieved. The product composition also ensures that the surface to be cleaned is kept moist for approx. 20 to 30 minutes and thus a correspondingly long contact of the cleaning components with the contamination. This is extremely important, for example, when cleaning locomotives to achieve a good cleaning result.

Abgesehen von dem oben genannten Feuchthalteeffekt ist gegenüber den herkömmlichen Produkten die demulgieren­de Wirkung von entscheidendem Vorteil. Wird beispiels­weise bei Raumtemperatur eine erfindungsgemäße Anwen­dungslösung von 10 bis 50 %iger Konzentration mit Spülwässern auf eine Konzentration kleiner/gleich 2 % verdünnt, so scheidet sich zusätzlich eingebrachtes Mineralöl von der Lösung selbsttätig praktisch voll­ständig ab, wenn diese 30 Minuten ruht. Mit entspre­chenden Abwasser-Sammelbehältern kann allein durch eine derartige mechanische Ölabscheidung der Ölgehalt von Abwasser auf weniger als 50 mg . 1⁻¹ gesenkt wer­den.Apart from the above-mentioned moisturizing effect, the demulsifying effect is a decisive advantage compared to conventional products. If, for example, an application solution according to the invention is diluted from 10 to 50% concentration with rinsing water to a concentration of less than or equal to 2% at room temperature, mineral oil additionally introduced separates itself practically completely from the solution when it is at rest for 30 minutes. With appropriate waste water collection tanks, the oil content of waste water can be reduced to less than 50 mg simply by such mechanical oil separation. 1⁻¹ to be lowered.

Gegebenenfalls ist es möglich, zur weiteren Senkung des Ölgehaltes das Abwasser mit Eisen(II)sulfat oder Aluminiumsulfat zu versetzen und dadurch eine Aus­flockung der Verunreinigungen zu erzielen. Durch die­sen, aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten, zusätzlichen Reinigungsschritt kann der Restölgehalt im Abwasser auf einen Wert unter 10 mg . 1⁻¹ gesenkt werden.If necessary, it is possible to add iron (II) sulfate or aluminum sulfate to the wastewater to further reduce the oil content and thereby achieve a flocculation of the contaminants. This additional cleaning step, known from the prior art, allows the residual oil content in the waste water to be below 10 mg. 1⁻¹ to be lowered.

Die Erfindung wird durch die nachstehenden Beispiele näher erläutert.The invention is illustrated by the examples below.
