The products are based on anionic surfactants alone or in combination with non-ionic surfactants and/or amphosurfactants or non-ionic surfactants alone or in combination with cationic surfactants, solubilisers and, where appropriate, builders, colorants, perfumes and preservatives, and additionally contain polymers, namely ampholytic cellulose ethers.

Description

Marktübliche, flüssige, manuell und meist bei leicht erhöhten Temperaturen anwendbare Geschirreinigungsmittel enthalten als Wirkstoffe im wesentlichen Gemische synthetischer anionischer Tenside in Mengen von etwa 4 bis 60 Gew.-%, sowie gegebenen­falls z. B. als Schaumstabilisatoren geringe Mengen an nicht­ionischen Tensiden, vorzugsweise Alkanolamide, oder Amphoten­side wie Betaine, sowie Lösungsmittel, Lösungsvermittler, hydro­trope Substanzen, Duft- und Farbstoffe, Konservierungsmittel, Mittel zur Viskositätseinstellung, zur pH-Einstellung und Elek­trolyte. Der pH-Wert liegt aus Hautschutzgründen bei etwa 5,5 bis 8,0. Unter Umständen können die Mittel, was aber nicht typisch ist, für die Anwendung in Gegenden mit stark eisen­haltigem Wasser noch geringe Mengen an Gerüstsubstanzen oder Komplexbildnern wie Hexametaphosphat oder Ethylendiamintetra­acetat enthalten. Derartige Mittel sind beispielsweise aus dem europäischen Patent 36 625 bekannt.Commercial, liquid, manual dishwashing detergents, which can usually be used at slightly elevated temperatures, contain as active ingredients essentially mixtures of synthetic anionic surfactants in amounts of about 4 to 60% by weight and, if appropriate, z. B. as foam stabilizers, small amounts of nonionic surfactants, preferably alkanolamides, or amphoteric surfactants such as betaines, and solvents, solubilizers, hydrotropic substances, fragrances and dyes, preservatives, agents for viscosity adjustment, pH adjustment and electrolytes. For skin protection reasons, the pH is around 5.5 to 8.0. Under certain circumstances, but not typical, the agents can still contain small amounts of builders or complexing agents, such as hexametaphosphate or ethylenediaminetetraacetate, for use in areas with highly iron-containing water. Such means are known for example from European patent 36 625.

Ebenfalls marktübliche Allzweckreinigungsmittel, d. h. Mittel zum Reinigen von diversen harten Oberflächen im Haushalt und in Ge­werberäumen, enthalten als Wirkstoffe bevorzugt Kombinationen von anionischen und nichtionischen Tensiden in einer Gesamt­menge von etwa 5 bis 15 Gew.-% sowie reinigungsverstärkende Gerüstsubstanzen in Mengen von etwa 0,1 bis 5 Gew.-% und zur Steigerung der Reinigungsleistung als organische Polymere Polyethylenglykole der allgemeinen Formel HO-(CH₂-CH₂-O)n-H, wobei n zwischen 4 800 und 64 600 variieren kann. Diese Mittel werden ebenfalls mit Farb- und Duftstoffen, Elektrolyten und Vis­kositätsreglern konfektioniert. Ihr pH-Wert liegt vorzugsweise im Bereich von 8,5 bis 11, da das Reinigungsvermögen, das bei diesen Mitteln überwiegend bei Raumtemperatur zur Geltung kom­men muß, im alkalischen Milieu im allgemeinen besser ist als im neutralen oder sauren. Derartige Allzweckreinigungsmittel sind beispielsweise aus der deutschen Patentschrift 27 09 690 und aus der europäischen Patentschrift 9 193 bekannt.Also common commercial all-purpose cleaning agents, i.e. agents for cleaning various hard surfaces in the household and in commercial premises, preferably contain combinations of anionic and nonionic surfactants in a total amount of about 5 to 15% by weight as well as cleaning-enhancing framework substances in amounts of about 0.1 as active ingredients up to 5% by weight and to increase the cleaning performance as organic polymers polyethylene glycols of the general formula HO- (CH₂-CH₂-O) n -H, where n can vary between 4,800 and 64,600. These agents are also made up with dyes and fragrances, electrolytes and viscosity regulators. Their pH value is preferably in the range from 8.5 to 11, since the cleaning power, which must be used with these agents predominantly at room temperature, is generally better in an alkaline environment than in a neutral or acidic one. All-purpose cleaning agents of this type are known, for example, from German patent specification 27 09 690 and from European patent specification 9 193.

Reinigungsmittel mit einem Zusatz an entsprechenden reinigungs­verstärkenden Polymeren sind auch in den deutschen Offenlegungs­schriften 29 13 049 und 35 12 535, letztere betrifft Mehrbereichs­reinigungsmittel, beschrieben, wobei sich wasserlösliche Poly­ethylenglykole mit einer Molmasse zwischen 3 x 10⁵ und 4 x 10⁶, vorzugsweise 5 x 10⁵ und 1 x 10⁶, als besonders geeignet er­wiesen haben. Der Einsatz derartiger Polymerer in Reinigungs­mitteln für harte Oberflächen wird in den deutschen Patent­schriften 28 40 463 (EP 9193) und 28 40 464 beschrieben.Detergents with the addition of corresponding cleaning-reinforcing polymers are also described in German Offenlegungsschriften 29 13 049 and 35 12 535, the latter relates to multi-range detergents, water-soluble polyethylene glycols having a molecular weight between 3 x 10⁵ and 4 x 10⁶, preferably 5 x 10⁵ and 1 x 10⁶, have proven to be particularly suitable. The use of such polymers in cleaning agents for hard surfaces is described in German patents 28 40 463 (EP 9193) and 28 40 464.

Nach der Lehre der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift 26 17 909 und der europäischen Patentanmeldung 66 342 werden Copolymere von Monovinylmonomeren, z. B. von Styrol oder Vinylmethylether, mit ungesättigten Dicarbonsäuren bzw. deren Anhydriden, z. B. Maleinsäure, in Allzweckreinigungsmitteln eingesetzt. Diese Polymeren sollen hauptsächlich eine Streifenbildung auf den harten Oberflächen unterdrücken.According to the teaching of German Offenlegungsschrift 26 17 909 and European patent application 66 342, copolymers of monovinyl monomers, e.g. B. of styrene or vinyl methyl ether, with unsaturated dicarboxylic acids or their anhydrides, for. B. maleic acid, used in general-purpose cleaning agents. These polymers are primarily intended to suppress streaking on hard surfaces.

In der britischen Patentanmeldung 2 104 091 werden ampholytische Copolymeren aus anionischen und kationischen Vinylmonomeren zur Leistungssteigerung in Tensidformulierungen empfohlen.British patent application 2 104 091 recommends ampholytic copolymers of anionic and cationic vinyl monomers for increasing the performance in surfactant formulations.

Die europäische Patentanmeldung 124 367 lehrt die Verwendung wasserlöslicher Polymeren, z. B. Polysaccharide oder Xanthan­ gummi, die sowohl die Viskosität der Tensidformulierung erhöhen als auch ihre Reinigungsleistung und das Schaumverhalten verbessern sollen.European patent application 124 367 teaches the use of water-soluble polymers, e.g. B. polysaccharides or xanthan rubber, which are both intended to increase the viscosity of the surfactant formulation and to improve their cleaning performance and foam behavior.

In der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift 2 616 404, die ebenfalls Mehrbereichsreinigungsmittel betrifft und der Erfindung am nächsten steht, werden zwecks Verbesserung des Flüssigkeits­ablaufs von harten Oberflächen Zusätze von Polymeren, nämlich von wasserlöslichen kationischen Celluloseethern mit einer Molmasse von 25 000 bis 10 000 000 beansprucht.German Offenlegungsschrift 2,616,404, which also relates to multigrade cleaning agents and is the closest to the invention, claims additions of polymers, namely water-soluble cationic cellulose ethers with a molecular weight of 25,000 to 10,000,000, to improve the flow of liquid from hard surfaces.

Überraschenderweise wurde nun gefunden, daß die Reinigungs­leistung von flüssigen Mitteln zum Reinigen harter verschiedenster Oberflächen auf Basis von anionischen Tensiden allein oder in Kom­bination mit nichtionischen Tensiden und/oder Amphotensiden (Betainen) oder nichtionischen Tensiden allein oder in Kombination mit Kationtensiden, Lösungsvermittlern und Polymeren sowie ge­gebenenfalls Gerüstsubstanzen, Farbstoffen, Duftstoffen und Konservierungsmitteln durch den Zusatz von ampholytischen Cel­luloseethern anstelle von kationischen Celluloseethern gemäß der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift 2 616 404 erheblich verbessert werden kann.Surprisingly, it has now been found that the cleaning performance of liquid agents for cleaning hard and varied surfaces based on anionic surfactants alone or in combination with nonionic surfactants and / or amphoteric surfactants (betaines) or nonionic surfactants alone or in combination with cationic surfactants, solubilizers and polymers and optionally Builders, dyes, fragrances and preservatives can be significantly improved by adding ampholytic cellulose ethers instead of cationic cellulose ethers according to German Offenlegungsschrift 2 616 404.

Die ampholytischen Celluloseether werden in an sich bekannter Weise durch Mischveretherung von (Alkali-)Cellulose mit mono­chloressigsaurem Natrium und 2-Chlorethyldiethylamin unter Variation der Mengen des Carboxymethylierungs- bzw. Aminie­rungsmittels hergestellt. Der Substitutionsgrad der Cellulose beträgt 0,4 bis 2, vorzugsweise 0,6 bis 1,2. Die Viskosität (Brookfield) einer 2 gew.-%igen wäßrigen Lösung der Polymeren soll zwischen 3 000 und 120 000 mPas, vorzugsweise zwischen 9 000 und 80 000 mPas liegen.The ampholytic cellulose ethers are prepared in a manner known per se by mixed etherification of (alkali) cellulose with monochloroacetic acid sodium and 2-chloroethyldiethylamine with variation of the amounts of the carboxymethylating or aminating agent. The degree of substitution of cellulose is 0.4 to 2, preferably 0.6 to 1.2. The viscosity (Brookfield) of a 2% by weight aqueous solution of the polymers should be between 3,000 and 120,000 mPas, preferably between 9,000 and 80,000 mPas.

In aniontensidfreien Rezepturen können 0 - 5 Gew.-%, vorzugs­weise 0,1 - 3 Gew.-% kationische Tenside, auch in Gemischen mit nichtionischen Tensiden, enthalten sein. Im übrigen gelten die obigen Formulierungsangaben.Formulations free of anionic surfactants can contain 0-5% by weight, preferably 0.1-3% by weight, of cationic surfactants, also in mixtures with nonionic surfactants. The rest of the wording above applies.

Geeignete synthetische anionische Tenside sind solche vom Typ der Sulfonate, Sulfate und der synthetischen Carboxylate.Suitable synthetic anionic surfactants are those of the sulfonate, sulfate and synthetic carboxylate type.

Als Tenside vom Sulfonattyp kommen C₉₋₁₅-Alkylbenzolsulfonate, Gemische aus Alken- und Hydroxyalkansulfonaten sowie Disul­fonaten, wie man sie beispielsweise aus Monoolefinen mit end- oder innenständiger Doppelbindung durch Sulfonieren mit gasförmigem Schwefeltrioxid und anschließende alkalische oder saure Hydrolyse der Sulfonierungsgruppe erhält, in Betracht. Weiter eignen sich Alkansulfonate, die aus Alkanen durch Sulfochlorierung oder Sul­foxydation und anschließende Hydrolyse bzw. Neutralisation bzw. durch Bisulfitaddition an Olefine erhältlich sind. Weitere brauch­bare Tenside vom Sulfonattyp sind die Ester von alpha-Sulfofett­säuren, z. B. die alpha-Sulfonsäuren aus hydrierten Methyl- oder Ethylestern der Cocos-, Palmkern- oder Talgfettsäure.Suitable surfactants of the sulfonate type are C₉₋₁₅ alkylbenzenesulfonates, mixtures of alkene and hydroxyalkanesulfonates and disulfonates, such as are obtained, for example, from monoolefins with terminal or internal double bonds by sulfonation with gaseous sulfur trioxide and subsequent alkaline or acidic hydrolysis of the sulfonating group. Further are suitable Alkanesulfonates, which are obtainable from alkanes by sulfochlorination or sulfoxidation and subsequent hydrolysis or neutralization or by bisulfite addition to olefins. Other useful surfactants of the sulfonate type are the esters of alpha sulfo fatty acids, e.g. B. the alpha-sulfonic acids from hydrogenated methyl or ethyl esters of coconut, palm kernel or tallow fatty acid.

Geeignete Tenside vom Sulfattyp sind die Schwefelsäuremonoester primärer Alkohole (z. B. aus Cocosfettalkoholen, Talgfettalkoholen oder Oleylalkohol) und diejenigen sekundären Alkohole. Weiterhin eignen sich sulfatierte Fettsäurealkanolamide, Fettsäuremono­glyceride oder Umsetzungsprodukte von 1 - 4 Mol Ethylenoxid mit primären oder sekundären Fettalkoholen oder Alkylphenolen.Suitable surfactants of the sulfate type are the sulfuric acid monoesters of primary alcohols (for example from coconut fatty alcohols, tallow fatty alcohols or oleyl alcohol) and those secondary alcohols. Sulfated fatty acid alkanolamides, fatty acid monoglycerides or reaction products of 1-4 moles of ethylene oxide with primary or secondary fatty alcohols or alkylphenols are also suitable.

Weitere geeignete anionische Tenside sind die Fettsäureester bzw. -amide von Hydroxy- oder Amino-carbonsäuren bzw. -sulfonsäuren, wie z. B. die Fettsäuresarcoside, -glycolate, -lactate, -tauride oder -isethionate, alpha-Sulfobernsteinsäureester und Fettsäure­cyanamide.Other suitable anionic surfactants are the fatty acid esters or amides of hydroxy or amino carboxylic acids or sulfonic acids, such as. B. the fatty acid sarcosides, glycolates, lactates, taurides or isethionates, alpha-sulfosuccinic acid esters and fatty acid cyanamides.

Der Kohlenstoffkettenlängenbereich der hydrophoben Reste der Tenside liegt im allgemeinen zwischen 6 und 18, vorzugsweise zwischen 8 und 16.The carbon chain length range of the hydrophobic residues of the surfactants is generally between 6 and 18, preferably between 8 and 16.

Die anionischen Tenside können in Form ihrer Alkali-, Erdalkali- ­und Ammoniumsalze sowie als lösliche Salze organischer Basen, wie des Mono-, Di- oder Triethanolamins vorliegen. Die Natriumsalze werden meist aus Kostengründen bevorzugt.The anionic surfactants can be present in the form of their alkali, alkaline earth and ammonium salts and as soluble salts of organic bases, such as the mono-, di- or triethanolamine. The sodium salts are mostly preferred for cost reasons.

Als nichtionische Tenside sind Anlagerungsprodukte von 4 - 40, vorzugsweise 4 - 20 Mol Ethylenoxid oder Ethylenoxid und Pro­pylenoxid an 1 Mol Fettalkohol, Alkandiol, Alkylphenol, Fettsäure, Fettamin, Fettsäureamid oder Alkansulfonamid verwendbar. Beson­ ders wichtig sind die Anlagerungsprodukte von 5 - 16 Mol Ethylen­oxid oder Ethylen- und Propylenoxid an Cocos- oder Talgfettalko­hole, an Oleylalkohol oder an sekundäre Alkohole mit 8 - 18, vor­zugsweise 12 - 18 C-Atomen, sowie an Mono- oder Dialkylphenole mit 6 - 14 C-Atomen in den Alkylresten. Neben diesen wasserlös­lichen Nonionics sind aber auch nicht bzw. nicht vollständig wasserlösliche Polyglycolether mit 1 - 4 Ethylenglycoletherresten im Molekül von Interesse, insbesondere, wenn sie zusammen mit wasserlöslichen nichtionischen oder anionischen Tensiden ein­gesetzt werden.Addition products of 4-40, preferably 4-20 moles of ethylene oxide or ethylene oxide and propylene oxide with 1 mole of fatty alcohol, alkanediol, alkylphenol, fatty acid, fatty amine, fatty acid amide or alkanesulfonamide can be used as nonionic surfactants. Especially importantly, the addition products of 5 - 16 mol ethylene oxide or ethylene and propylene oxide with coconut or tallow fatty alcohols, with oleyl alcohol or with secondary alcohols with 8 - 18, preferably 12 - 18 carbon atoms, as well as with mono- or dialkylphenols with 6 - 14 carbon atoms in the alkyl radicals. In addition to these water-soluble nonionics, non-fully or not fully water-soluble polyglycol ethers with 1-4 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.

Weiterhin sind als nichtionische Tenside die wasserlöslichen, 20 - 250 Ethylenglycolethergruppen und 10 - 100 Propylengly­colethergruppen enthaltenden Anlagerungsprodukte von Ethylen­oxid an Polyproyplenoxid, Alkylendiaminpoly-propylenglycol und Alkylpolypropylenglycole mit 1 - 10 C-Atomen in der Alkylkette brauchbar, in denen die Polypropylenglycolkette als hydrophober Rest fungiert.Furthermore, the non-ionic surfactants that can be used are the water-soluble adducts of ethylene oxide with polypropylene oxide, alkylene diamine poly-propylene glycol and alkyl polypropylene glycols with 1-10 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain, in which the polypropylene glycol chain functions as a hydrophobic residue, containing polypropylene oxide, alkylene diamine poly-propylene glycol and 10-100 propylene glycol ether groups.

Auch nichtionische Tenside vom Typ der Aminoxide sind verwend­bar. Typische Vertreter sind beispielsweise die Verbindungen N-Dodecyl-N,N-dimethylaminoxid, N-Tetradecyl-N,N-dihydroxyethyl­aminoxid, N-Hexadecyl-N,N-bis-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-aminoxid.Nonionic surfactants of the amine oxide type can also be used. Typical representatives are, for example, the compounds N-dodecyl-N, N-dimethylamine oxide, N-tetradecyl-N, N-dihydroxyethylamine oxide, N-hexadecyl-N, N-bis (2,3-dihydroxypropyl) amine oxide.

Auch Alkylglucoside mit 12 bis 18, vorzugsweise 12 bis 14 Kohlen­stoffatomen im geradkettigen oder verzweigten Alkylrest sowie 1 bis 4, vorzugsweise 1 bis 2 Glucoseeinheiten im Molekül kommen in Betracht.Alkyl glucosides with 12 to 18, preferably 12 to 14 carbon atoms in the straight-chain or branched alkyl radical and 1 to 4, preferably 1 to 2, glucose units in the molecule are also suitable.

Geeignete zusetzbare Amphotenside 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.Suitable addable amphoteric surfactants are those which contain both acidic groups, such as, for. 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.

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-Alkylrest 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-­hydroxypropansulfonat, 3-(N-Hexadecyl-N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-­ammonio)-2-hydroxypropylsulfat, 3-(N-Cocosalkyl-N,N-bis(2,3-­dihydroxypropyl)-ammonio)-propansulfonat, N-Tetradecyl-N,N-­dimethyl-ammonioacetat, N-Hexadecyl-N,N-bis(2,3-dihydroxy­propyl)-ammonioacetat. Bevorzugt eingesetzt werden C₁₂-C₁₈-­Acylamido-propyldimethylammoniumbetaine.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 C₈-C₁₈ alkyl 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. C₁₂-C₁₈-Acylamido-propyldimethylammonium betaines are preferably used.

Die gegebenenfalls zusetzbaren kationischen Tenside enthalten wenigstens eine hydrophobe und wenigstens eine basische, gege­benenfalls als Salz vorliegende wasserlöslich machende Gruppe. Bei der hydrophoben Gruppe handelt es sich um eine aliphatische oder cycloaliphatische Kohlenwasserstoffgruppe mit vorzugsweise 10 - 22 C-Atomen oder um eine alkyl- bzw. cycloalkylaromatische Gruppe mit vorzugsweise 8 - 16 aliphatischen C-Atomen. Als basische Gruppen kommen in erster Linie basische Stickstoffatome in Frage, die auch mehrfach in einem Tensidmolekül vorhanden sein können; bevorzugt handelt es sich um quartäre Ammoniumver­bindungen wie beispielsweise N-Dodecyl-N,N,N-trimethylammonium­methosulfat, N-Hexadecyl- bzw. N-Octadecyl-N,N,N-trimethylam­moniumchlorid, N,N-Dicocosalkyl-N,N-dimethylammoniumchlorid, N-Dodecyl-N,N-dimethyl-N-benzylammonioumbromid, das Umsetzungs­produkt von 1 Mol Talgalkylamin mit 10 Mol Ethylenoxid, N-Dodecyl-N,N',N'-trimethyl-1,3-diaminopropan, N-Hexadecylpyri­diniumchlorid.The cationic surfactants which may be added contain at least one hydrophobic and at least one basic group which, if appropriate, is present as a salt and makes water-soluble. The hydrophobic group is an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon group with preferably 10-22 carbon atoms or an alkyl or cycloalkylaromatic group with preferably 8-16 aliphatic carbon atoms. As basic groups, primarily basic nitrogen atoms come into question, which can also be present several times in a surfactant molecule; it is preferably quaternary ammonium compounds such as N-dodecyl-N, N, N-trimethylammonium methosulfate, N-hexadecyl or N-octadecyl-N, N, N-trimethylammonium chloride, N, N-dicocosalkyl-N, N-dimethylammonium chloride , N-dodecyl-N, N-dimethyl-N-benzylammonioumbromid, the reaction product of 1 mol tallow alkylamine with 10 mol ethylene oxide, N-dodecyl-N, N ', N'-trimethyl-1,3-diaminopropane, N-hexadecylpyridinium chloride.

Die genannten Stickstoffverbindungen lassen sich durch ent­sprechende Verbindungen mit quartärem Phosphoratom oder mit tertiärem Schwefelatom ersetzen.The nitrogen compounds mentioned can be replaced by corresponding compounds with a quaternary phosphorus atom or with a tertiary sulfur atom.

Reinigungsmittel mit einem Gehalt an kationischen Tensiden werden meist für desinfizierende Zwecke verwendet.Cleaning agents containing cationic surfactants are mostly used for disinfectant purposes.

Als Gerüstsubstanzen werden in ihrer Gesamtheit alkalisch rea­gierende anorganische oder organische Verbindungen, insbeson­dere anorganische oder organische Komplexbildner eingesetzt, die bevorzugt in Form ihrer Alkali- oder Aminsalze, insbesondere der Kaliumsalze vorliegen. Zu den Gerüstsubstanzen zählen hier auch die Alkalihydroxide, von denen bevorzugt das Kaliumhydroxid ein­gesetzt wird.As a whole, alkaline inorganic or organic compounds, in particular inorganic or organic complexing agents, are used as builders, which are preferably in the form of their alkali or amine salts, in particular the potassium salts. The framework substances here also include the alkali metal hydroxides, of which the potassium hydroxide is preferably used.

Als anorganische komplexbildende Gerüstsubstanzen eignen sich besonders die alkalisch reagierenden Polyphosphate, insbesondere die Tripolyphosphate sowie die Pyrophosphate. Sie können ganz oder teilweise durch organische Komplexbildner ersetzt werden. Weitere erfindungsgemäß brauchbare anorganische Gerüstsubstan­zen sind beispielsweise Bicarbonate, Carbonate, Borate, Silikate oder Orthophosphate der Alkalien.The alkaline polyphosphates, in particular the tripolyphosphates and the pyrophosphates, are particularly suitable as inorganic complex-forming framework substances. They can be replaced in whole or in part by organic complexing agents. Further inorganic builder substances which can be used according to the invention are, for example, bicarbonates, carbonates, borates, silicates or orthophosphates of the alkalis.

Zu den organischen Komplexbildnern vom Typ der Aminopolycar­bonsäuren gehören unter anderem die Nitrilotriessigsäure, Ethylendiamintetraessigsäure, N-Hydroxyethyl-ethylen-diamin­triessigsäure und Polyalkylen-polyamin-N-polycarbonsäuren. Als Beispiele für Di- und Polyphosphonsäuren seien genannt: Methy­lendiphosphonsäure, 1-Hydroxyethan-1,1-diphosphonsäure, Propan-­1,2,3-triphosphonsäure, Butan-1,2,3,4-tetraphosphonsäure, Poly­vinylphosphonsäure, Mischpolymerisate aus Vinylphosphonsäure und Acrylsäure, Ethan-1,2-dicarboxy-1,2-diphosphonsäure, Ethan-1,2-dicarboxy-1,2-dihydroxydiphosphonsäure, Phosphono­ bernsteinsäure, 1-Aminoethan-1,1-diphosphonsäure, Aminotri-­(methylenphosphonsäure), Methyl-amino- oder Ethylamino-di-­(methylenphosphonsäure) sowie Ethylendiamin-tetra-(methylen­phosphonsäure). Auch verschiedenste, meist N- oder P-freie Polycarbonsäuren als Gerüstsubstanzen sind vorgeschlagen worden, wobei es sich vielfach, wenn auch nicht ausschließlich, um Carboxylgruppen enthaltende Polymerisate handelt. Eine große Zahl dieser Polycarbonsäuren besitzen ein Komplexbildungsver­mögen für Calcium. Hierzu gehören z. B. Citronensäure, Wein­säure, Benzolhexacarbonsäure, Tetrahydrofurantetracarbonsäure.The organic complexing agents of the aminopolycarboxylic acid type include, among others, nitrilotriacetic acid, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, N-hydroxyethylethylene diamine triacetic acid and polyalkylene polyamine N-polycarboxylic acids. Examples of di- and polyphosphonic acids are: methylene diphosphonic acid, 1-hydroxyethane-1,1-diphosphonic acid, propane-1,2,3-triphosphonic acid, butane-1,2,3,4-tetraphosphonic acid, polyvinylphosphonic acid, copolymers of vinylphosphonic acid and Acrylic acid, ethane-1,2-dicarboxy-1,2-diphosphonic acid, ethane-1,2-dicarboxy-1,2-dihydroxydiphosphonic acid, phosphono succinic acid, 1-aminoethane-1,1-diphosphonic acid, aminotri- (methylenephosphonic acid), methylamino- or ethylamino-di- (methylenephosphonic acid) and ethylenediamine-tetra- (methylenephosphonic acid). Various, mostly N- or P-free polycarboxylic acids have also been proposed as builders, many, if not exclusively, of polymers containing carboxyl groups. A large number of these polycarboxylic acids have a complexing ability for calcium. These include e.g. B. citric acid, tartaric acid, benzene hexacarboxylic acid, tetrahydrofuran tetracarboxylic acid.

Da Reinigungsmittel für den Haushalt im allgemeinen fast neutral bis schwach alkalisch eingestellt sind, d. h. ihre unverdünnten Konzentrate oder ihre wäßrigen Gebrauchslösungen bei Anwen­dungskonzentrationen von 2 - 20, vorzugsweise von 5 - 15 g/l Wasser oder wäßriger Lösung einen pH-Wert im Bereich von 7,0 - 10,5, vorzugsweise 7,5 - 9,5, besitzen sollen, kann zur Regulierung des pH-Wertes ein Zusatz saurer oder alkalischer Komponenten erforderlich sein.Since household cleaning agents are generally almost neutral to slightly alkaline, i. H. their undiluted concentrates or their aqueous working solutions at application concentrations of 2 - 20, preferably 5 - 15 g / l water or aqueous solution have a pH in the range of 7.0 - 10.5, preferably 7.5 - 9.5, acidic or alkaline components may be required to regulate the pH.

Als saure Substanzen eignen sich übliche anorganische oder organische Säuren oder saure Salze, wie beispielsweise Salzsäure, Schwefelsäure, Bisulfate oder Alkalien, Aminosulfonsäure, Phos­phorsäure oder andere Säuren des Phosphors, insbesondere die anhydrischen Säuren des Phosphors bzw. deren saure Salze oder deren sauer reagierende feste Verbindungen mit Harnstoff oder anderen niederen Carbonsäureamiden, Teilamide der Phosphor­säuren oder der anhydrischen Phosphorsäure, Citronensäure, Weinsäure, Milchsäure und dergleichen.Suitable acidic substances are customary inorganic or organic acids or acidic salts, such as, for example, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, bisulfates or alkalis, aminosulfonic acid, phosphoric acid or other acids of phosphorus, in particular the anhydrous acids of phosphorus or their acidic salts or their acid-reacting 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.

Sofern der Gehalt an alkalischen Gerüstsubstanzen nicht zur Regulierung des pH-Wertes ausreicht, können auch noch alkalisch wirkende organische oder anorganische Verbindungen wie Alkanol­ amine, nämlich Mono-, Di- oder Triethanolamin oder Ammoniak zugesetzt werden.If the content of alkaline builders is not sufficient to regulate the pH, organic or inorganic compounds such as alkanol can also have an alkaline effect amines, namely mono-, di- or triethanolamine or ammonia can be added.

Außerdem kann man an sich bekannte Lösungsvermittler einarbei­ten, wozu außer den wasserlöslichen organischen Lösungsmitteln wie insbesondere niedermolekularen aliphatischen Alkoholen mit 1 - 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 verschiedenartigen mehrwertigen Alkoholen oder die Teilether aus mehrwertigen Alkoholen. Hierzu gehören beispielsweise Di- oder Triethylenglycolpolyglycerine sowie die Teilether aus Ethylen­glycol, Propylenglycol, Butylenglycol oder Glycerin mit ali­phatischen, 1 - 4 Kohlenstoffatome im Molekül enthaltenden ein­wertigen Alkoholen.In addition, known solubilizers can be incorporated, which in addition to the water-soluble organic solvents such as, in particular, low-molecular aliphatic alcohols with 1-4 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., 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 of 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 Waser emulgierbare organische Lö­sungsmittel kommen auch Ketone, wie Aceton, Methylethylketon sowie aliphatische, cycloaliphatische, aromatische und chlorierte Kohlenwasserstoffe, ferner die Terpenalkohole in Betracht. Letztere wirken im allgemeinen gleichzeitig geruchsbildend.Also suitable as water-soluble or water-emulsifiable organic solvents are ketones, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone and aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons, and also the terpene alcohols. The latter generally have an odor-forming effect at the same time.

Zur Regulierung der Viskosität empfiehlt sich gegebenenfalls ein Zusatz von höheren Polyglycolethern 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 beanspruchten Mittel Zusätze an Farb- und Duftstoffen, Konservierungsmitteln und gewünschtenfalls auch antimikrobiell wirksamen Mitteln beliebiger Art enthalten.In addition, the claimed agents can contain additives of colorants and fragrances, preservatives and, if desired, antimicrobial agents of any kind.

Als zu verwendende antimikrobielle Wirkstoffe kommen beispiels­weise solche Verbindungen in Betracht, die in den erfindungs­gemäßen flüssigen Mitteln stabil und wirksam sind, etwa vom Typ der quaternären Ammoniumverbindungen, beispielsweise ein Ben­zylalkyldimethylammoniumchlorid.Suitable antimicrobial agents to be used are, for example, those compounds which are stable and effective in the liquid compositions according to the invention, for example of the quaternary ammonium compound type, for example a benzylalkyldimethylammonium chloride.

Versuchetries

Zur Beurteilung der Reinigungsleistung wurden folgende Prüf­methoden eingesetzt:The following test methods were used to assess the cleaning performance:

a) Tellertest:a) Plate test:

Zum Nachweis des Reinigungseffektes der erfindungsgemäß eingesetzten Mittel 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 agents used according to the invention in manual dishwashing. The methodology is described in the journal "Fette, Seifen, Anstrichmittel", 74 , (1972), pages 163 to 165.

Teller von 14 cm Durchmesser wurden mit je 2 g Rindertalg (Schmelzpunkt 40 bis 42 °C, Säurezahl 9 bis 10) ange­schmutzt, 15 Stunden lang bei + 0 bis + 5 °C gelagert und bei 50 °C mit Leitungswasser der Härte 16 °d gespült. Die Prüfprodukte wurden mit einer Dosierung von 0,5 g/l Was­ser, bezogen auf Gesamtmittel, oder 0,15 g Einzeltensid/l Wasser eingesetzt. Als Maß für die Reinigungswirkung dient die Anzahl an Tellern, die mit 5 Liter Spülflotte sauber gespült werden = Tellerzahl.Plates of 14 cm in diameter were soiled with 2 g of beef tallow (melting point 40 to 42 ° C, acid number 9 to 10), stored for 15 hours at + 0 to + 5 ° C and at 50 ° C with tap water of hardness 16 ° d rinsed. The test products were used with a dosage of 0.5 g / l water, based on total agent, or 0.15 g individual surfactant / l water. The number of plates that are rinsed clean with 5 liters of washing solution = number of plates serves as a measure of the cleaning effect.

b) Prüfung der Reinigungswirkung (Gardner-Test)b) Testing the cleaning effect (Gardner test)

Das zu prüfende Reinigungsmittel wurde auf eine künstlich angeschmutzte Kunststoffoberfläche gegeben. Als künstliche Anschmutzung wurde ein Gemisch aus Ruß, Maschinenöl, Triglycerid gesättigter Fettsäuren und niedersiedendem aliphatischem Kohlenwasserstoff verwendet. Die Testfläche von 26 x 28 cm wurde mit Hilfe eines Flächenstreichers gleichmäßig mit 2 g der künstlichen Anschmutzung beschich­tet und anschließend in sieben gleichgroße Flächen von 26 x 4 cm zerschnitten.The cleaning agent to be tested was placed on an artificially soiled plastic surface. A mixture of carbon black, machine oil, triglyceride, saturated fatty acids and low-boiling aliphatic hydrocarbon was used as artificial soiling. The test area of 26 x 28 cm was evenly coated with 2 g of the artificial soiling with the help of a surface coater and then cut into seven equally large areas of 26 x 4 cm.

Ein Kunststoffschwamm wurde jeweils mit 6 ml der zu prüfenden unverdünnten Reinigungsmittellösung getränkt und maschinell auf der Testfläche bewegt. Nach 10 Wischbewe­gungen wurde die gereinigte Testfläche unter fließendes Wasser gehalten und der lose sitzende Schmutz entfernt. Die Reinigungswirkung, d. h., der Weißgrad der so gereinigten Kunststoffoberfläche, wurde mit einem photoelektrischen Farbmeßgerät LF 90 (Dr. B. Lange) gemessen. Als Weiß-­Standard diente die saubere weiße Kunststoffoberfläche.A plastic sponge was impregnated with 6 ml of the undiluted detergent solution to be tested and moved mechanically on the test surface. After 10 wiping movements, the cleaned test area was kept under running water and the loose dirt was removed. The cleaning effect, d. that is, the whiteness of the plastic surface thus cleaned was measured with an LF 90 photoelectric colorimeter (Dr. B. Lange). The clean white plastic surface served as the white standard.

Da bei der Messung der sauberen Oberfläche auf 100 % ein­gestellt und die angeschmutzte Fläche mit 0 angezeigt wurde, waren 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 (vgl. Qualitätsnormen des Industriever­bandes Putz- und Pflegemittel e.V. (IPP), Frankfurt/Main (Fassung 1982) in "Seifen, Fette, Öle, Wachse", 108, (1982) 527-528.Since the measurement of the clean surface was set to 100% and the soiled area was displayed with 0, the read values for the cleaned plastic areas were to be equated with the percentage cleaning ability (% RV). In the experiments below, the% -RV values given are the values determined by this method for the cleaning ability of the cleaning agents examined. They each represent mean values from 4-fold determinations (cf. quality standards of the Industry Association for Cleaning and Care Agents (IPP), Frankfurt / Main (1982 version) in "Soaps, Fats, Oils, Waxes", 108 , (1982) 527-528.

Characteristic data for the cellulose ethers used according to the invention (statistical mean values):
Figure imgb0001

Für ein Vergleichsbeispiel gemäß der DE 26 16 404 wurde ein kationaktives Celluloseetherderivat, nämlich das Polymer JR 400(R)der Union Carbide (vgl. US 3 472 840) mit einem mitt­leren Molgewicht von 400 000 verwendet.

Figure imgb0002
For a comparative example according to DE 26 16 404, a cationic cellulose ether derivative, namely the polymer JR 400 (R) from Union Carbide (cf. US 3,472,840) with an average molecular weight of 400,000 was used.
Figure imgb0002

Wie die Ergebnisse in Tabelle 1 zeigen, weisen die erfindungs­gemäßen ampholytischen Celluloseether eine höhere Leistungs­steigerung der Spülmittel auf als kationische Cellulosether gemäß DE 26 16 404.As the results in Table 1 show, the ampholytic cellulose ethers according to the invention have a higher performance increase in the detergents than cationic cellulose ethers according to DE 26 16 404.

Tabelle 2 zeigt, daß die erfindungsgemäßen ampholytischen Cel­luloseether, in kleinen Anteilen in Allzweck- bzw. Desinfek­tionsreinigungsmitteln eingearbeitet, deutliche reinigungsver­stärkende Wirkungen herbeiführen.Table 2 shows that the ampholytic cellulose ethers according to the invention, incorporated in small proportions in general-purpose or disinfectant cleaning agents, bring about distinct cleaning-enhancing effects.

Ein weiterer überraschender Vorteil der ampholytischen Cellu­loseether zeigte sich bei der Fettentfernung auf erneut ange­schmutzten Tellern, die zuvor bereits in einer polymerenhaltigen Spülflotte gereinigt wurden. Folgender Versuch machte diesen Vor­teil deutlich:Another surprising advantage of the ampholytic cellulose ethers was the removal of fat on newly soiled plates that had already been cleaned in a polymer-containing washing liquor. The following experiment made this advantage clear:

Die in der polymerenhaltigen Spülflotte gereinigten Teller wurden - wie schon beschrieben - erneut mit 2 g Rindertalg/Teller ange­schmutzt und 15 Stunden lang bei Temperaturen von 0 - 5 °C ge­lagert. Ein Teller wurde dann waagerecht in 5 Liter Spülflotte von 50 °C gelegt und die Zeit gemessen, bis zu der die Fettent­fernung von der Telleroberfläche ohne manuelle Zusatzeinwirkung abgeschlossen war. Bei Tellern, die vor ihrer Wiederanschmutzung mit Rindertalg in einer polymerenhaltigen Spülflotte gespült worden waren, betrug die Reinigungszeit ungefähr 2,5 Minuten; bei Tellern, die vor ihrer Wiederanschmutzung mit Rindertalg in einer polymerenfreien Spülflotte gespült wurden, konnte auch nach wesentlich längeren Zeiten keine vollständige Fettentfernung erreicht werden.

Figure imgb0003
The plates cleaned in the polymeric washing liquor were - as already described - again soiled with 2 g beef tallow / plate and stored for 15 hours at temperatures of 0 - 5 ° C. A plate was then placed horizontally in 5 liters of rinse liquor at 50 ° C. and the time until the grease removal from the plate surface was completed without any additional manual action. For plates that had been rinsed with beef tallow in a polymer-containing washing liquor before they were soiled again, the cleaning time was approximately 2.5 minutes; For plates that were washed with beef tallow in a polymer-free washing liquor before they were soiled again, complete grease removal could not be achieved even after considerably longer times.
