Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a liquid detergent concentrate which is essentially free of skeletal salts and which, owing to its composition, has an improved washing action compared to bleachable stains despite the absence of oxidative bleaching agents and, in conjunction with specially selected fatty acid diethanolamides, has textile-softening and grip-improving properties, so that the textiles washed therewith have no post-treatment with a special finishing agent.
  • a second problem is the improvement in the grip of the washed textiles. It is known from the magazine "Soap and Chemical Specialties", November 1958, pages 48 to 50, that certain stearic acid derivatives of alkylolamines are used as softening agents in textile treatment agents. The problems of how such compounds behave or can be used in detergent-containing detergents are not dealt with in this publication. Furthermore, it has been shown that the stearic acid derivatives cannot be used in an effective amount in storage-stable liquid detergents.
  • liquid detergent formulations which have more or less large contents of fatty acid mono- or diethanolamides. These are always those alkanolamides which are derived from fatty acid mixtures with a high proportion of C12-C16 fatty acids, for example coconut fatty acids.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein von Gerüstsalzen im wesentlichen freies, flüssiges Waschmittelkonzentrat, das aufgrund seiner Zusammensetzung trotz Abwesenheit oxidativer Bleichmittel eine verbesserte Waschwirkung gegenüber bleichbaren Anschmutzungen aufweist und in Verbindung mit speziell ausgewählten Fettsäurediethanolamiden textilweichmachende und griffverbessernde Eigenschaften besitzt, so daß die damit gewaschenen Textilien keiner Nachbehandlung mit einem speziellen Avivagemittel bedürfen.The present invention relates to a liquid detergent concentrate which is essentially free of skeletal salts and which, owing to its composition, has an improved washing action compared to bleachable stains despite the absence of oxidative bleaching agents and, in conjunction with specially selected fatty acid diethanolamides, has textile-softening and grip-improving properties, so that the textiles washed therewith have no post-treatment with a special finishing agent.

Das Problem, Flüssigwaschmittel zu entwickeln, die auch gegenüber bleichbaren Anschmutzungen, wie Obst-, Gemüse- oder Teeflecken, hinreichend wirksam sind, ist noch nicht hinreichend gelöst. Diese Anschmutzungen erfordern im allgemeinen die Anwendung oxidativ wirkender Bleichmittel, die sich wegen ihrer begrenzten Stabilität nicht oder nur schwierig in Flüssigwaschmittel inkorporieren lassen.The problem of developing liquid detergents that are also sufficiently effective against bleachable stains, such as fruit, vegetable or tea stains, has not yet been sufficiently solved. These stains generally require the use of oxidative bleaches which, owing to their limited stability, cannot be incorporated into liquid detergents, or can only be incorporated with difficulty.

Ein zweites Problem ist die Griffverbesserung der gewaschenen Textilien. Es ist aus der Zeitschrift "Soap and Chemical Specialities", November 1958, Seiten 48 bis 50, bekannt, daß gewisse Stearinsäurederivate von Alkylolaminen als weichmachendes Agens in Textilbehandlungsmitteln eingesetzt werden. Die Probleme, wie sich derartige Verbindungen in tensidhaltigen Waschmitteln verhalten bzw. eingesetzt werden können, werden in dieser Publikation nicht berührt. Im übrigen hat sich gezeigt, daß die Stearinsäurederivate sich nicht in wirksamer Menge in lagerstabile Flüssigwaschmittel einsetzen lassen.A second problem is the improvement in the grip of the washed textiles. It is known from the magazine "Soap and Chemical Specialties", November 1958, pages 48 to 50, that certain stearic acid derivatives of alkylolamines are used as softening agents in textile treatment agents. The problems of how such compounds behave or can be used in detergent-containing detergents are not dealt with in this publication. Furthermore, it has been shown that the stearic acid derivatives cannot be used in an effective amount in storage-stable liquid detergents.

Ferner sind zahlreiche Flüssigwaschmittel-Rezepturen bekannt, die mehr oder weniger große Gehalte an Fettsäuremono- bzw. diethanolamiden aufweisen. Stets handelt es sich dabei um solche Alkanolamide, die sich von Fettsäuregemischen mit hohem Anteil an C12-C16-Fettsäuren, beispielsweise Cocosfettsäuren, ableiten. Diese Alkanolamide sollen die Wasch- und Schaumkraft steigern bzw. die Hautverträglichkeit verbessern. Eine Avivagewirkung kommt diesen Mitteln nicht zu. Als Beispiele für derartige Mittel seien die gemäß DE-B-1 047 973, DE-C-2 022 064, DE-C-2 703 998 (US-A-4 153 570), DE-A-2 819 455, DE-C-3 022 767, DE-A-3 161 222, EP-A-38 101, US-A-2 861 956, US-A-2 943 058 aufgeführt.Furthermore, numerous liquid detergent formulations are known which have more or less large contents of fatty acid mono- or diethanolamides. These are always those alkanolamides which are derived from fatty acid mixtures with a high proportion of C12-C16 fatty acids, for example coconut fatty acids. These alkanolamides are said to increase washing and foaming power or to improve skin tolerance. These remedies do not have an aviva effect. Examples of such agents are those according to DE-B-1 047 973, DE-C-2 022 064, DE-C-2 703 998 (US-A-4 153 570), DE-A-2 819 455, DE -C-3 022 767, DE-A-3 161 222, EP-A-38 101, US-A-2 861 956, US-A-2 943 058.

Aus EP-A-157 320 ist ein Waschmittel bekannt, das anionische bzw. nichtionische Tenside sowie eine Kombination enthält, bestehend aus silikonhaltigen Schauminhibitoren und stickstoffhaltigen Verbindungen aus der Klasse der ethoxylierten Fettamine und Fettsäureethanolamide. Diese leiten sich bevorzugt von Cocosfettsäuren ab und wirken als Waschkraftverstärker. Eine Avivagewirkung besitzen sie nicht, außerdem ist ihr Anteil mit weniger als 5 Gew.-%, vorzugsweise weniger als 4 Gew.-%, vergleichsweise gering. Gemäß EP-A-151 678 enthalten flüssige Waschmittel 0 bis 5 Gew.-% eines "Cosurfactant", das aus oberflächenaktiven Quartärsalzen, tertiären Aminen oder Amioxiden besteht. Textilweichmachende Fettsäurediethanolamide werden in dem Dokument nicht erwähnt.EP-A-157 320 discloses a detergent which contains anionic or nonionic surfactants and a combination consisting of silicone-containing foam inhibitors and nitrogen-containing compounds from the class of ethoxylated fatty amines and fatty acid ethanolamides. These are preferably derived from coconut fatty acids and act as a detergency booster. They do not have an anti-sagging effect, and their proportion is comparatively low at less than 5% by weight, preferably less than 4% by weight. According to EP-A-151 678, liquid detergents contain 0 to 5% by weight of a "cosurfactant" consisting of surface-active quaternary salts, tertiary amines or amoxides. Textile softening fatty acid diethanolamides are not mentioned in the document.

Weiterhin wurde bereits vorgeschlagen, Waschmitteln mit einem Gehalt an Aniontensiden avivierend wirkende Quartärsalze zuzusetzen, wobei die Quartärsalze längerkettige Fettsäurereste bzw. Fettalkylreste aufweisen. Da jedoch Aniontenside mit derartigen Quartärsalzen im allgemeinen unverträglich sind bzw. unter Bildung inaktiver Elektroneutralsalze reagieren, wird die erwünschte Wirkung in der Regel nicht erzielt.Furthermore, it has already been proposed to add detergents containing quaternary salts with an anionic surfactant effect, the quaternary salts having longer-chain fatty acid residues or fatty alkyl residues. However, since anionic surfactants are generally incompatible with quaternary salts of this type or react to form inactive electroneutral salts, the desired effect is generally not achieved.

Das nachfolgend beschriebene erfindungsgemäße Mittel ist geeignet, die genannten Mängel zu vermeiden.The agent according to the invention described below is suitable for avoiding the deficiencies mentioned.

Vorzugsweise wird Dodecylbenzolsulfonat eingesetzt.The proportion of the linear sodium alkylbenzenesulfonate (a) is at least 6% by weight, preferably up to 10% by weight. Dodecylbenzenesulfonate is preferably used.

Aufgrund des mäßig alkalischen pH-Wertes des Mittels liegen die Säuren in Form saurer Salze vor. Die vorgenannten Mengenangaben beziehen sich auf die einzusetzenden Säuremengen.Suitable sequestering agents (e) are polyaminopolyphosphonic acids and their mixtures with polycarboxylic acids. Suitable polycarboxylic acids are in particular citric acid, also nitrilotriacetic acid, ethylenediaminoetetraacetic acid and their higher homologues. Suitable polyaminopolyphosphonic acids are ethylenediaminetetra- (methylenephosphonic acid), diethylenetriaminepenta- (methylenephosphonic acid) and their higher homologues. The acids mentioned can be used as salts of sodium, potassium and alkanolamines, e.g. B. of triethanolamine.

The proportion of citric acid is preferably 0.3 to 1% by weight. Due to the moderately alkaline pH of the agent, the acids are in the form of acidic salts. The above-mentioned amounts refer to the amounts of acid to be used.

Mit Wasser mischbare Lösungsmittel, die in den Mitteln in Anteilen von 6 bis 16 Gew.-%, vorzugsweise 10 bis 15 Gew.-% vorliegen, sind Alkohole, Glykole, Polyglykole und Etheralkohole, wie Methanol, Ethanol, Propanol, Isopropanol, Glycerin, Glykol, Diethylenglykol, Triethylenglykol und niedermolekulare Polyethylenglykole, Propylenglykol und oligomere Propylenglykolether, ferner Etheralkohole, wie Methylpropylglykol, Methylbutylglykol oder Methylethylglykol.

Die Stabilität der Enzyme kann durch Zusatz von Alkanolaminen, insbesondere Triethanolamin, erhöht werden. Das Triethanolamin ist zweckmäßigerweise im Überschuß vorhanden, wodurch sich eine gewünschte schwach alkalische Reaktion von 7,2 bis 9, vorzugsweise von 7,5 bis 8,5 einstellen läßt.The stability of the enzymes can be increased by adding alkanolamines, especially triethanolamine will. The triethanolamine is expediently present in excess, as a result of which a desired weakly alkaline reaction of 7.2 to 9, preferably 7.5 to 8.5, can be set.

Als weitere Enzymstabilisatoren eignen sich niedermolekulare Säuren wie Ameisensäure, Essigsäure und Milchsäure, die, auf freie Säure bezogen, in Anteilen von 0,1 bis 2, vorzugsweise 0,2 bis 1 Gew.-% anwesend sein können. Aufgrund der basischen Reaktion der Mittel liegen diese Säuren überwiegend oder vollständig in Form ihrer Salze vor, z. B. als Natrium-, Kalium- oder Alkanolaminsalze.Low molecular weight acids such as formic acid, acetic acid and lactic acid are suitable as further enzyme stabilizers, which, based on free acid, can be present in proportions of 0.1 to 2, preferably 0.2 to 1,% by weight. Due to the basic reaction of the agents, these acids are predominantly or completely in the form of their salts, e.g. B. as sodium, potassium or alkanolamine salts.

Als optische Aufheller eignen sich die bekannten Derivate der Bis-triazinyl-4,4'-diaminostilben-2,2'- disulfonsäure bzw. der Diphenyl-distyryl-disulfonsäure in Form ihrer wasserlöslichen Salze.

Als Schauminhibitoren eignen sich in Wasser dispergierbare Silikone, z. B. Dimethylpolysiloxane, die gegebenenfalls mit Polyglykolethergruppen modifiziert sein können, sowie Gemische derartiger Verbindungen mit Polysiloxanharzen bzw. feinteiliger Kieselsäure, die vorzugsweise silaniert ist. Der Gehalt der Mittel an optischen Aufhellern und Silikonentschäumern kann in der Größenordnung 0,01 bis 1 Gew.-% liegen.Suitable foam inhibitors are water-dispersible silicones, e.g. B. dimethylpolysiloxanes, which can optionally be modified with polyglycol ether groups, and mixtures of such compounds with polysiloxane resins or finely divided silica, which is preferably silanated. The content of optical brighteners and silicone defoamers in the compositions can be of the order of 0.01 to 1% by weight.

Der Wassergehalt der Mittel soll so eingestellt sein, daß eine homogene, gut gießbare und nicht durch Ausfällungen entmischte Lösung entsteht. Der Wassergehalt liegt im allgemeinen zwischen 25 und 45 Gew.-%, vorzugsweise zwischen 33 und 40 Gew.-%.The water content of the agents should be adjusted so that a homogeneous, easily pourable solution that is not segregated by precipitation results. The water content is generally between 25 and 45% by weight, preferably between 33 and 40% by weight.

Die erfindungsgemäßen Mittel besitzen ein hohes Wasch- und Reinigungsvermögen, insbesondere gegenüber bleichbaren Anschmutzungen. Zu den bleichbaren Anschmutzungen zählen beispielsweise Flecken von Obst- und Gemüsesäften sowie von Teeaufgüssen, zu deren Entfernung im allgemeinen die Anwendung oxidativer Bleichmittel erforderlich ist. Derartige Bleichmittel sind aber in flüssigen Zubereitungen nicht über längere Zeit stabil. Es ist daher in hohem Maße überraschend, daß die vorliegenden Mittel auch in Abwesenheit von Bleichmitteln die genannten Anschmutzungen weitgehend entfernen. Weiterhin zeichnen sich die Mittel durch günstige weichmachende und griffverbessernde Eigenschaften aus. Sie eignen sich sowohl für ein Waschen von Hand als auch aufgrund ihres ausgewogenen Schaumverhaltens zur Anwendung in Waschmaschinen.The agents according to the invention have a high washing and cleaning ability, in particular with regard to bleachable soiling. Bleachable stains include, for example, stains from fruit and vegetable juices and tea infusions, the removal of which generally requires the use of oxidative bleaches. However, such bleaching agents are not stable over a long period of time in liquid preparations. It is therefore highly surprising that the present compositions largely remove the soiling mentioned even in the absence of bleaching agents. Furthermore, the agents are characterized by favorable softening and grip-improving properties. They are suitable both for hand washing and due to their balanced foam behavior for use in washing machines.

In einer dritten Versuchsreihe wurden Proben zum Vergleich herangezogen, die mit einem handelsüblichen Hochleistungswaschmittel (V3) gewaschen wurden, das einen avivierend wirkenden Zusatz auf Basis eines Cocosalkyl-trimethylammoniumsalzes enthielt. Die Bestimmung der Griffeigenschaften wurden nach 1 Waschbehandlung sowie nach 5 Waschbehandlungen vorgenommen. Zusätzlich wurden die Griffbeurteilungen an 1 mal gewaschener Frottierware vorgenommen. Die Ergebnisse sind den folgenden Tabellen zu entnehmen. Sie belegen die Überlegenheit der erfindungsgemäßen Mittel.

The washability and the aviva effect were tested under practical conditions. For this purpose, textile samples made of cotton, which had been soiled under standardized conditions with skin fat, pigment dirt, make-up stains (lipstick, mascara, tinted skin cream) and stains from red wine, tea and blueberries, together with 3 kg ballast laundry in a domestic washing machine (capacity 4 kg) washed at 60 ° C. The washing time including heating was 20 minutes, the detergent concentration 7.5 g / liter, the ratio of the amount of textile (in kg) to the washing solution (in liters) was 1:10, the hardness of the tap water was 16 ° dH (160 mg CaO per liter) . After rinsing three times, the product was spun and dried. The reflectance of the samples was determined photometrically and the washing power against the make-up stains and the handle (degree of softness) were assessed. The mean was formed from 9 measurements or samples. In evaluating the softening properties, comparative samples were used which had been washed under similar conditions with a commercially available liquid detergent (V1) free of skeletal salts and bleaching agents or a commercially available high-performance detergent (V2) without further textile aftertreatment. In a third series of tests, samples were used for comparison, which were washed with a commercially available high-performance detergent (V3), which contained an anti-aging additive based on a cocoalkyl-trimethylammonium salt. The grip properties were determined after 1 wash treatment and after 5 wash treatments. In addition, the handle assessments were carried out on terry towels washed once. The results are shown in the following tables. They demonstrate the superiority of the agents according to the invention.

Bei der Remissionsmessung entspricht ein höherer Wert einem besseren Waschergebnis. Bei der Benotung entspricht 1 (sehr gut) dem besten, 6 (ungenügend) dem schlechtesten Wert. Die GriffBenotung 1 entspricht der Wirkung eines im 4. Spülgang eingesetzten hochwirksamen Avivagemittels auf der Basis langkettiger quartärer Ammoniumsalze.In the remission measurement, a higher value corresponds to a better washing result. In the grading, 1 (very good) corresponds to the best, 6 (insufficient) to the worst. Grip rating 1 corresponds to the effect of a highly effective anti-aging agent used in the 4th rinse cycle on the basis of long-chain quaternary ammonium salts.
