Description

Die vorliegende Anmeldung betrifft lagerstabile anionische Flüssigwaschmittel, die amphotere Distyrylderivate als optische Aufheller sowie anionische Tenside enthalten.The present application relates to storage-stable anionic liquid detergents which contain amphoteric distyryl derivatives as optical brighteners and anionic surfactants.

Die Verwendung von optischen Aufhellern in flüssigen Waschmitteln ist bekannt. Sie ziehen während der Behandlung auf das Waschgut auf und führen durch ihre spezielle Lichtabsorption/Emissionseigenschaft zu einer Elimination der gelblichen Töne bzw. zu einer Verbesserung des Weissgrades.The use of optical brighteners in liquid detergents is known. They soak on the items to be washed during treatment and, thanks to their special light absorption / emission properties, lead to an elimination of the yellowish tones or an improvement in the degree of whiteness.

Dieser Effekt ist aber auch verantwortlich für das Auftreten von hellen Flecken wenn Textilgewebe z.B. bei einer Vorbehandlung direkt mit dem flüssigen Waschmittel in Kontakt gerät. In der EP-A-167 205 wird zur Lösung dieses Problems daher vorgeschlagen, monosulfonierte Stilbentriazolyl-, triazin- oder Distyrylbiphenyl-Aufheller in anionischen Flüssigwaschmitteln zu verwenden.This effect is also responsible for the appearance of light spots when textile fabrics e.g. comes into direct contact with the liquid detergent during pretreatment. To solve this problem, EP-A-167 205 proposes to use monosulfonated stilbene triazolyl, triazine or distyrylbiphenyl brighteners in anionic liquid detergents.

Desweiteren ist die Verwendung von amphoteren Aufhellern in kationischen Flüssigwaschmitteln bekannt (EP-A-59684), die Verwendung von amphoteren Aufhellern in anionischen Flüssigwaschmitteln wurde bislang nicht beschrieben.Furthermore, the use of amphoteric brighteners in cationic liquid detergents is known (EP-A-59684), the use of amphoteric brighteners in anionic liquid detergents has not been described to date.

Es hat sich nun gezeigt, dass amphotere Distyrylaufheller überraschenderweise auch in anionische, flüssige Waschmittel eingearbeitet werden können und dass damit die Bildung von hellen Flecken verbunden mit ausgezeichneter Aufhellwirkung und Waschmittelstabilität, verhindert werden kann.It has now been shown that, surprisingly, amphoteric distyre brighteners can also be incorporated into anionic, liquid detergents and that the formation of light spots combined with excellent brightening effect and detergent stability can be prevented.

Gegenstand der Anmeldung sind somit anionische Flüssigwaschmittel enthaltend optische Aufheller, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass sie 1 bis 60 Gew %, bezogen auf das Gewicht des Waschmittels, eines anionischen Tensides enthalten, und dass die in einer Menge von 0,01 bis 2 % vorliegenden optischen Aufheller aus einem amphoteren Distyrylaufheller oder einer Mischung von Distyrylaufhellern der Formel I
