Definitions

  • the invention relates to a granular additive for washing and cleaning agents, which consists of two granular powder components of a defined composition, on which liquid, semi-solid or solid nonionic surfactants are adsorbed. Both powder components have a porous structure and can absorb up to 30% by weight, based on the additive, of such nonionic surfactants without the free-flowing properties suffering.
  • nonionic surfactants have a very high cleaning power, which makes them particularly suitable for use in low-temperature detergents.
  • their proportion cannot be increased significantly beyond 8 to 10 percent by weight in the generally customary production of detergents by spray drying, since this would otherwise result in excessive smoke formation in the exhaust air from the spray towers and inadequate pouring properties of the spray powder. Processes have therefore been developed in which the liquid or melted nonionic surfactant is mixed onto the previously spray-dried powder or sprayed onto a carrier substance.
  • water-soluble builder substances in particular spray-dried phosphates, carbonates, bicarbonates, soluble silicates and borates, and water-insoluble builder substances, such as sodium aluminosilicate (zeolite) and silicon dioxide (aerosil), have been proposed as the carrier substance, but the known agents often have only a limited adsorption capacity and certain application technology disadvantages on.
  • phosphates are often undesirable because of their eutrophic properties.
  • Fine powdered zeolites also have only a limited absorption capacity for liquid substances, while special adsorbents such as diatomaceous earth and Aerosil ® , as inert components, do not contribute to the washing effect.
  • DE-A-24 18 294 discloses detergents which consist of a powder component obtained by hot spray drying and granular sodium perborate tetrahydrate, the latter being impregnated with a defined mixture of nonionic surfactants. Due to the selection of non-ionic surfactants, the granulate is dust-free and free-flowing. According to EP-A-34 194, the perborate tetrahydrate is treated with nonionic surfactants which contain both ethylene glycol ether groups and propylene glycol ether groups. In addition to good flowability, the granules are particularly characterized by being odorless.
  • DE-A-25 07 926 contains examples of the preparation of premixes, powder mixtures of aluminosilicate (zeolite), perborate and optionally also a bleach activator being sprayed with nonionic surfactants.
  • the resulting granules are then mixed with other powder components, in particular tower spray powder.
  • a certain stickiness of the granules disturbs, which can also be transferred to the overall mixture, especially if the admixed tower spray powder contains no phosphates.
  • EP-A-168 102 discloses a process for producing high-density detergents in which nonionic surfactants are sprayed onto a powder mixture of sodium perborate monohydrate, zeolite and other builder substances. In this spray mixing process, granulation of the base powder occurs at the same time. Another part of the total nonionic surfactants used is sprayed onto a second powder component which is free of sodium sulfate and consists of spray-dried granules, the usual surfactants, builder substances and others Contains detergent ingredients. Both the perborate-containing base powder and the spray-dried powder component contain considerable amounts of sodium tripolyphosphate in the agents according to the examples.
  • absorbent carrier grains which consist of several components and are usually produced by spray drying. Examples of these are the agents according to US-A-3 849 327, US-A-3 886 098 and US-A-3 838 027 and US-A-4 269 722 (DE-A-27 42 683).
  • these carrier grains developed especially for the adsorption of nonionic surfactants, contain considerable amounts of phosphates, which limits their possible uses.
  • Phosphate-free carrier grains are known from DE-A-32 06 265 and DE-A-32 06 379. They consist essentially of sodium carbonate or hydrogen carbonate, zeolite, sodium silicate, bentonite and polyacrylate. The high proportion of carbonates, however, favors the formation of calcium carbonate in hard water, while the sodium silicate in connection with zeolite considerably deteriorates the dispersibility of the grains in water.
  • EP-A-184 794 discloses a granular adsorbent which is able to absorb high proportions of liquid to pasty detergent constituents, in particular nonionic surfactants, and (based on anhydrous substance) 60 to 80% by weight of zeolite, 0.1 to 8% by weight. -% sodium silicate, 3 to 15 wt .-% of homo- or copolymers of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and / or maleic acid, 8 to 18 wt .-% water and optionally up to 5 wt .-% contains nonionic surfactants and can be obtained by spray drying.
  • EP-A-425 804 discloses a granular, nonionic surfactant-containing additive for detergents and cleaning agents, which has improved washing-in behavior and consists of a granular adsorbent (I) and nonionic surfactants (II) adsorbed thereon, where (I) 50 to 75% by weight of finely crystalline zeolite, 2 to 10% by weight of a layered silicate, 3 to 15% by weight of the sodium salt of a (co) polymeric carboxylic acid, optionally up to 10% by weight of sodium sulfate and up to 3 Wt .-% of a surfactant and the rest contains water and minor components and the weight ratio of adsorbent (I) to nonionic surfactants (II) is 2: 1 to 20: 1.
  • component (B) contains a water-soluble soap, which significantly improves the washing-up behavior in the washing machine.
  • the soap-containing additive has a lower absorbency for nonionic surfactants and has a lower autoignition temperature or increased flammability.
  • the object of the invention was to provide an additive for granular and phosphate-free detergents and cleaning agents which contains nonionic surfactants and which has both improved wash-in behavior and an increased autoignition temperature or a reduced flammability.

  • Both components can have the same or a different grain size within the specified limits. Mixing and treating them together with nonionic surfactants can result in a slight agglomeration of the particles, in particular by attaching finely divided components to larger grains, and thus overall a slight increase in the average grain size.
  • the proportion of sodium perborate monohydrate (component A) is preferably 20 to 60% by weight and in particular 30 to 50% by weight.
  • the proportion of component (B) is preferably 35 to 70% by weight and in particular 40 to 60% by weight.

  • the perborate monohydrate is preferably used as loose, expanded pellets with a liter weight of 450 to 650 g / l, preferably 500 to 600 g / l.
  • Such granules are characterized by a good adsorption capacity for liquid to lard-like nonionic surfactants. Loading the granules with the nonionic surfactants generally increases the bulk density by about 50 to 200 g / l, which is in the interest of a higher total bulk weight and a saving in packaging and transport volume.
  • Component (B) likewise preferably consists of a granular, porous material, as can be obtained by spray drying aqueous slurries of water-insoluble or water-soluble salts or salt mixtures. It contains synthetic zeolite of the NaA type in proportions of 45 to 75, preferably 50 to 72% by weight and in particular 55 to 70% by weight (based on anhydrous substance). Mixtures of zeolite NaA and NaX can also be used, the proportion of the zeolite NaX in such mixtures advantageously being below 30%, in particular below 20%. Suitable zeolites have no particles larger than 30 ⁇ m and consist of at least 80% particles less than 10 ⁇ m in size.

  • the zeolites can still contain excess alkali from their production.
  • the water content of synthetic zeolites is usually 18 to 22% by weight.
  • the layered silicates can contain hydrogen, alkali and alkaline earth ions, in particular Na+ and Ca++.
  • the amount of water of hydration is usually in the range of 8 to 20% by weight and depends on the swelling condition or the type of processing.
  • the particle size is in the range from 0.05 to 25 ⁇ m, usually less than 10 ⁇ m.
  • Useful sheet silicates are known, for example, from US-A-3,966,629, US-A-4,062,647 (DE-A-23 34 899), EP-A-26 529 and EP-A-28 432.
  • Layered silicates are preferably used which are largely free of calcium ions and strongly coloring iron ions due to an alkali treatment.
  • the layer silicate content of component (B) is preferably 3 to 7% by weight.
  • component (B) Another advantageous component of component (B) is sodium sulfate, which is calculated as an anhydrous substance and is present in proportions of 0 to 30% by weight, preferably 1 to 25 and in particular 3 to 20% by weight.
  • the sodium sulfate contributes to a considerable improvement in the grain structure of component (B) and the washing-in behavior of the detergent additive and at the same time increases its bulk density, which results in the possibility of saving packaging and transport volume.
  • Another inorganic salt that can be combined with the zeolite is sodium carbonate, which can be present in proportions of up to 20% by weight, based on component (B). With regard to the flushing-in behavior, however, such mixtures are inferior to the mixtures of zeolite and sodium sulfate.
  • component (B) in inorganic salts including zeolite should be at least 75% by weight, preferably at least 85% by weight (based on component B).
  • component (B) contains organic salts which are of particular advantage for the grain structure, the grain stability and in particular for the washing-in behavior of the granules and their mixtures with other detergent constituents.

These are copolymers which contain 40 to 90% by weight of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid and 60 to 10% by weight of maleic acid. Such copolymers are particularly preferred, in which 45 to 85 percent by weight acrylic acid and 55 to 15 percent by weight maleic acid are present.
  • the molecular weight of the homopolymers or copolymers is generally 2,000 to 150,000, preferably 5,000 to 100,000.
  • Their proportion in component (B) is, for example, up to 12% by weight, preferably 1.5 to 8% by weight. and in particular 2 to 5% by weight, calculated as the sodium salt.
  • the resistance of the grains to abrasion increases with an increasing proportion of polyacid or its salts. With a proportion from 1.5% by weight, sufficient abrasion resistance is achieved in many cases. Mixtures with 2 to 5% by weight of sodium salt of polyacid have optimal abrasion properties.
  • the zeolite in those cases in which the zeolite is used in the production of the granular component (B) not in powder or spray-dried form, but rather as a moist filter cake, it can contain dispersion stabilizers, as is the case in DE-A-25 27 388 are described in more detail. Suitable stabilizers are in particular nonionic surfactants with HLB values below 12, such as ethoxylated tallow alcohol with 3 to 8 EO. The proportion of these additives in the powder component (B) can, depending on the zeolite content, be up to 4% by weight, usually 0.3 to 3% by weight. In the final balance, this portion of component (C) is added.

  • other substances such as fragrances, finishing agents, optical brighteners and anionic or cationic surfactants, can also be mixed into the mixture of components (A) and (B) after prior dissolution or dispersion in organic solvents or the liquid or molten nonionic surfactants. These substances penetrate into the porous grains together with the solvent or dispersant and are thus protected against interactions with other powder components.
  • Preferred detergent constituents which are bound to the granular mixture and are present together with this as a free-flowing mixture are liquid to pasty nonionic surfactants from the class of the polyglycol ethers, derived from alcohols with 10 to 22, in particular 12 to 18, carbon atoms.
