Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein pulverförmiges Reinigungsmit­tel für textile Flächen, insbesondere textile Bodenbelä­ge, enthaltend ein mit Wasser versetztes Trägermaterial, eine reinigungsaktive Substanz, gegebenenfalls Lösungs­mittel und gegebenenfalls weitere Zusatzstoffe.The invention relates to a powdery cleaning agent for textile surfaces, in particular textile floor coverings, containing a carrier material mixed with water, a cleaning-active substance, optionally solvent and optionally further additives.

Derartige Reinigungsmittel sind bereits in verschiedenen Ausgestaltungen bekannt geworden. Zum Stand der Technik wird beispielsweise auf die DE-PS 27 32 011 verwiesen.Such cleaning agents have already become known in various configurations. With regard to the prior art, reference is made, for example, to DE-PS 27 32 011.

Bei den bekannten Reinigungsmitteln sind als Trägermate­rialien bereits verschiedene organische und anorganische Stoffe vorgeschlagen worden. Beispielsweise Sägemehl, vermahlener Kork, Diatomeenerde usw.. Wesentliche Bedeu­tung haben aber als Trägermaterialien bislang jedenfalls für die Verwendung von solchen Reinigungsmitteln im Haushaltsbereich nur Harnstoff-Formaldehydschäume und Zellulosepulver erlangt. Die Verwendung letztgenannter Stoffe ist aus verschiedenen Gründen der Kritik ausge­setzt. Bezüglich der Formaldehydschäume wird auf eine mögliche gesundheitsschädigende Wirkung des Formaldehyd verwiesen. Bei Reinigungsmittel mit einem Trägermaterial auf der Basis von Zellulosepulver wird ein hoher Anteil gebleichter, nativer Zellulose mehrjähriger Pflanzen jeweils benötigt. Die Herstellung des Zellulosepulvers ist darüber hinaus sehr abwasserintensiv und trotz der Einführung neuer Aufschlußverfahren zur Gewinnung der Zellulose stark umweltbelastend. Eine Reduzierung des Zellulosegehaltes in bekannten pulverförmigen Reinigungs­mitteln führt aber zu Produkten, die beim Einarbeiten in beispielsweise einen Teppich "spachteln", deutlich schlechter reinigen, schlecht abzusaugen sind und lange Trockenzeiten erfordern. Auch sind die Produkte dann nicht mehr "rieselfähig".In the known cleaning agents, various organic and inorganic substances have already been proposed as carrier materials. For example, sawdust, ground cork, diatomaceous earth, etc. However, so far, only urea-formaldehyde foams and cellulose powder have attained any significant importance as carrier materials for the use of such cleaning agents in the household sector. The use of the latter is subject to criticism for various reasons. With regard to the formaldehyde foams, reference is made to a possible health-damaging effect of the formaldehyde. For cleaning agents with a carrier material based on cellulose powder, a high proportion of bleached, native cellulose of perennial plants is required in each case. The production of the cellulose powder is also very wastewater-intensive and, despite the introduction of new digestion processes for the production of cellulose, is extremely polluting. However, a reduction in the cellulose content in known powder detergents leads to products which, when incorporated into a carpet, for example, “filler”, are significantly poorer to clean, are difficult to vacuum and last a long time Require dry periods. The products are then no longer "free-flowing".

Ausgehend von dem vorbeschriebenen Stand der Technik stellt sich der Erfindung die Aufgabe, ein pulverförmi­ges Reinigungsmittel für textile Flächen anzugeben, welches bei möglichst hoher Reinigungsleistung rohstoff­sparend ist und zugleich ohne oder mit nur geringen Anteilen an gesundheitsgefährdend oder umweltunverträg­lich eingestuften Stoffen auskommt.Starting from the above-described prior art, the object of the invention is to provide a powdered cleaning agent for textile surfaces which saves raw materials while achieving the highest possible cleaning performance and at the same time manages without or with only a small proportion of substances classified as hazardous to health or environmentally compatible.

Diese Aufgabe ist bei der im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Erfindung gelöst.This object is achieved in the invention specified in claim 1.

Die Unteransprüche stellen vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen dar.The subclaims represent advantageous developments.

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, daß als Trägermaterial im trockenen Zustand hochsaugfähige, danch gequollene Polymer-Teilchen - sogenannte Superabsorber - verwendet werden, zusammen mit organischen Faserteilchen, welche Faserteilchen an der Oberfläche der Polymer-Teilchen angelagert sind. Die hochsaugfähigen, gequollenen Poly­mer-Teilchen schaffen das notwendige Volumen und die notwendige Oberfläche durch einen hohen, in den Polymer-­Teilchen gebundenen Wasseranteil. Dadurch kann der Ver­brauch an wertvollen Rohstoffen, nämlich insbesondere gebleichter Zellulose, stark eingeschränkt werden. Das Trägermaterial bzw. das absorbierende Material steht der Teppichoberfläche voll zur Verfügung. Es neigt zur Agglo­meratbildung, so daß es nicht im Teppich "versandet". Die organischen Faserteilchen sind auf der Oberfläche der gequollenen Polymer-Teilchen angelagert. Sie sind daher sehr gut verteilt und es ist nur eine geringe Menge an organischen Faserteilchen erforderlich. Ein weiterer wesentlicher Vorteil ist darin zu sehen, daß sehr variable Formulierungen des Reinigungsmittels mög­lich sind. Beispielsweise kann das Reinigungsmittel in einfacher Weise "naß" oder "trocken" eingestellt werden, wie dies weiter unten noch im einzelnen erläutert ist. In weiterer Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, daß die Poly­mer-Teilchen aus einem Polyacrylat bestehen. Ein solches Polyacrylat ist insbesondere unter der Handelsbezeich­nung "Favor", vertrieben von der Fa. Stockhausen, Krefeld, bekannt geworden. Besonders bevorzugt ist eine quervernetzte, teilweise als Natriumsalz vorliegende Polyacrylsäure. Solche hochsaugaktiven Polymere, wie sie auch in der Literaturstelle "allgemeiner Vliesstoff-Re­port 4- 1984, Seiten 178 bis 182" beschrieben sind, können das Mehrfache ihres eigenen Gewichtes an wässri­gen Flüssigkeiten aufnehmen. Hierbei bildet sich ein Gel, dessen Beschaffenheit jedoch verschiedenartig sein kann. Solche hochsaugaktiven Polymere geben die wässrige Flüssigkeit, d. h. in aller Regel gewöhnliches Wasser, das sie aufgenommen haben, auch unter Druck nicht oder nur zu einem relativ geringen Teil ab. Im Rahmen der Erfindung ist bevorzugt, daß das Gel die Beschaffenheit einer körnigen Masse (Kaviarstruktur) aufweist. Hier­durch sind sehr kleine Polymer-Teilchen kugelförmiger Struktur gebildet, mit einem Durchmesser von etwa 10 bis 1.000 µm im gequollenen Zustand. Entsprechend ergibt sich eine sehr große Oberfläche. Die organischen Fasern können einen Durchmesser von 5 bis 30 µm und eine Länge von 50 bis 400 µm aufweisen. Es handelt sich hierbei bevorzugt um Zellulosefasern.According to the invention, it is provided that, in the dry state, highly absorbent, then swollen polymer particles - so-called superabsorbers - are used as carrier material, together with organic fiber particles, which fiber particles are attached to the surface of the polymer particles. The highly absorbent, swollen polymer particles create the necessary volume and surface area thanks to a high proportion of water bound in the polymer particles. This can greatly reduce the consumption of valuable raw materials, especially bleached cellulose. The backing material or the absorbent material is fully available to the carpet surface. It tends to agglomerate so that it does not "silt up" in the carpet. The organic fiber particles are deposited on the surface of the swollen polymer particles. They are therefore very well distributed and only a small amount of organic fiber particles is required. A Another important advantage is the fact that very variable formulations of the cleaning agent are possible. For example, the cleaning agent can be set to "wet" or "dry" in a simple manner, as will be explained in more detail below. In a further embodiment it is provided that the polymer particles consist of a polyacrylate. Such a polyacrylate has become known in particular under the trade name "Favor", sold by Stockhausen, Krefeld. A crosslinked polyacrylic acid, which is present in part as a sodium salt, is particularly preferred. Such highly absorbent polymers, as are also described in the reference "general nonwoven report 4- 1984, pages 178 to 182", can absorb several times their own weight in aqueous liquids. This forms a gel, the nature of which can vary. Such highly absorbent polymers do not release the aqueous liquid, ie generally ordinary water that they have taken up, or only to a relatively small extent even under pressure. In the context of the invention it is preferred that the gel has the nature of a granular mass (caviar structure). As a result, very small polymer particles with a spherical structure are formed, with a diameter of about 10 to 1,000 μm in the swollen state. This results in a very large surface area. The organic fibers can have a diameter of 5 to 30 μm and a length of 50 to 400 μm. These are preferably cellulose fibers.

Herstellungsmäßig wird so vorgegangen, daß das Pulver aus Natriumpolyacrylat (bzw. aus der erwähnten Polyacry­lsäure) mit Wasser versetzt wird, bis es gesättigt ist. Hierbei quillt das Polyacrylat auf und entwickelt die erwähnte Kaviarstruktur. Ein Gramm Polyacrylat kann ein Vielfaches seines Gewichtes an Wasser aufnehmen, bei­spielsweise bis zu 100g. Auch unter Druck gibt das Po­lyacrylat aufgenommenes Wasser nicht mehr ab. Durch eine Zugabe von weiterem Wasser, das von dem Polyacrylat nicht mehr aufgenommen wird, kann die Einstellung "naß" vorgenommen werden. Das gequollene Polyacrylat wird sodann mit den Zellulosefasern verrührt, die sich im wesentlichen an der Oberfläche der Polyacrylat-Teilchen anlagern. Sodann wird das so gewonnene Pulver noch mit der notwendigen waschaktiven Substanz, in der Regel eine wässrige Tensidlösung, versetzt. Darüberhinaus wird gegebenenfalls ein Lösungsmittel zugegeben und gegebenen­falls weitere Zusatzstoffe wie etwa Duftstoffe.In production terms, the procedure is such that the powder of sodium polyacrylate (or of the polyacrylic acid mentioned) is mixed with water until it is saturated. The polyacrylate swells and develops mentioned caviar structure. One gram of polyacrylate can absorb many times its weight in water, for example up to 100 g. The polyacrylate no longer releases water even under pressure. By adding more water that is no longer absorbed by the polyacrylate, the "wet" setting can be made. The swollen polyacrylate is then stirred with the cellulose fibers, which essentially attach to the surface of the polyacrylate particles. The powder obtained in this way is then mixed with the necessary detergent substance, usually an aqueous surfactant solution. In addition, a solvent is optionally added and, if appropriate, further additives such as fragrances.

Ein derartiges pulverförmiges Reinigungsmittel kann 5 bis 75 Gewichtsprozente gequollenes Acrylat enthalten, bevorzugt 25 bis 35 Gewichtsprozente. Desweiteren 10 bis 50 Gewichtsprozente organische Fasern, wobei hier neben Zellulose auch noch Linters und chemisch oder mechanisch modifizierte Zellulose sowie ähnliche Stoffe in Betracht kommen. Bevorzugt liegt der Anteil zwischen 25 und 35 Gewichtsprozent, wobei ein Zellulosepulver mit einem Kornspektrum von 50 bis 350 µm verwendet wird. Etwa 5 bis 35 Gewichtsprozente kann es darüberhinaus an Wasser enthalten, bevorzugt 20 bis 25 Gewichtsprozente. 0 bis 20 Gewichtsprozente, bevorzugt auch wiederum 5 bis 15 Ge­wichtsprozente können organische Lösungsmittel sein, z. B. Methoxypropanol oder aromatenfreies Benzin. 0 bis 7 Gewichtsprozente können ein Tensid oder ein Tensid­gemisch sein. Speziell handelt es sich um ein anioni­sches, nicht ionisches, kationisches oder amphoteres Tensid. Bevorzugt liegt dieser Anteil bei 0,5 bis 2 Gewichtsprozenten. Schließlich sind 0 bis 5 Gewichtspro­zente, bevorzugt 0 bis 2 Gewichtsprozente weitere übli­ che Hilfs- und Duftstoffe, wie etwa Konservierungsmit­tel, Antistatikum etc..Such a powdered cleaning agent can contain 5 to 75 percent by weight of swollen acrylate, preferably 25 to 35 percent by weight. Furthermore, 10 to 50 percent by weight of organic fibers, in addition to cellulose also linters and chemically or mechanically modified cellulose and similar substances. The proportion is preferably between 25 and 35 percent by weight, a cellulose powder with a grain spectrum of 50 to 350 μm being used. It can also contain about 5 to 35 percent by weight of water, preferably 20 to 25 percent by weight. 0 to 20 percent by weight, preferably also 5 to 15 percent by weight, can be organic solvents, e.g. B. methoxypropanol or aromatic-free gasoline. 0 to 7 percent by weight can be a surfactant or a surfactant mixture. In particular, it is an anionic, non-ionic, cationic or amphoteric surfactant. This proportion is preferably 0.5 to 2 percent by weight. Finally, 0 to 5 percent by weight, preferably 0 to 2 percent by weight, are more common auxiliaries and fragrances, such as preservatives, antistatic agents, etc.

Die vorstehenden Rezepturen werden bezüglich einer Menge von 150 kg etwa wie folgt hergestellt (Werte für Rezep­tur I in Klammern):The above formulations for a quantity of 150 kg are produced approximately as follows (values for formulation I in brackets):

Zunächst wird die Acrylatdispersion aus 0,23 kg (0,04 kg) Favor CT und 44,78 kg (7,46 kg) Wasser angerührt. Je nach gewünschter Viskosität der Dispersion kann diese noch mit Wasser aus der Wirkstofflösung verdünnt werden.First, the acrylic dispersion of 0.23 kg (0.04 kg) Favor CT and 44.78 kg (7.46 kg) water is mixed. Depending on the desired viscosity of the dispersion, it can also be diluted with water from the active ingredient solution.
