So wird in der EP-OS 142 910 ein Waschmittelentschäumer, der aus einem Gemisch von Polydimethylsiloxan mit einer Viskosität von 20 bis 12.500 cs und Polydimethylsiloxan mit einer Viskosität von mindestens 25.000 cs sowie hydrophoben Siliciumdioxid besteht, beschrieben. Dieser Entschäumer kann zusätzlich eine feste, wasserlösliche, anorganische Trägersubstanz wie Natriumtripolyphosphat oder Aluminiumsilikat enthalten. Vor seiner Anwendung wird der Entschäumer in einem organischen Trägersystem, welches aus einem Gemisch hochschmelzender nichtionischer Tenside besteht, dispergiert.Detergent defoamers based on silicone oil are known. For example, EP-OS 142 910 describes a detergent defoamer which consists of a mixture of polydimethylsiloxane with a viscosity of 20 to 12,500 cs and polydimethylsiloxane with a viscosity of at least 25,000 cs and hydrophobic silicon dioxide.

As Linen fabrics were used about 3 kg of clean laundry of the quality cotton, white, DIN 53919 from EMPA, Switzerland.

Als Waschmittel wird ein Waschmittel der folgenden Zusammensetzung verwendet: Bandbreite insbesondere Nichtionische Tenside 2 - 5 4 Anionische Tenside 7 - 10 9 Polymer 2 - 5 4 Zeolith A 20 - 30 29 Natriumsilikat 4 - 9 7,5 Natriumkarbonat 6 - 10 8,5 CMC 1 - 2,5 2 Natriumsulfat 15 - 25 21 Wasser 7 - 17 15 % A detergent of the following composition is used as the detergent: Bandwidth in particular Nonionic surfactants 2 - 5 4th Anionic surfactants 7-10 9 polymer 2 - 5 4th Zeolite A 20-30 29 Sodium silicate 4 - 9 7.5 Sodium carbonate 6-10 8.5 CMC 1 - 2.5 2nd Sodium sulfate 15-25 21st water 7-17 15 %

3,75 g des Schauminhibitorkonzentrates wird mit dem Waschmittel vermischt und vor und nach Lagerung auf Entschäumerverhalten in der Waschmaschine geprüft. Der Lagertest wurde bei 35 °C und bei einer relativen Luftfeuchte von ca. 70 % durchgeführt. Die Dauer der Lagerung betrug in unserem Versuch jeweils 2, 4 und 8 Wochen.3.75 g of the foam inhibitor concentrate is mixed with the detergent and checked for defoamer behavior in the washing machine before and after storage. The storage test was carried out at 35 ° C and a relative humidity of approx. 70%. The duration of storage in our experiment was 2, 4 and 8 weeks.

Die Schaumhöhe in Abhängigkeit von der Temperatur wird mittels einem Druckschreiber registiert. Die Erläuterung der beigefügten Kurven gemäß Figuren 1 bis 9 ist aus der Figur 10 zu entnehmen.The foam height depending on the temperature is registered using a pressure recorder. The explanation of the attached curves according to FIGS. 1 to 9 can be found in FIG. 10.

Die Druckschreiber-Ergebnisse zeigen, daß das Anschäumen bei niedriger und hoher Temperatur durch die Entschäumerkomposition auf Basis von WESSALITH®, insbesondere nach Lagerung unter den vorher genannten kritischen Bedingungen, unterdrückt wird.The results of the pressure recorders show that foaming at low and high temperatures is suppressed by the defoamer composition based on WESSALITH®, especially after storage under the critical conditions mentioned above.
